cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/17270023

A jailbreak version of ChatGPT is becoming popular with women who prefer it to real world dating.

Chinese women are flocking to "Dan", a jailbroken version of ChatGPT that can bypass safety measures to offer a more liberal and flirtatious interaction. Lisa, a 30-year-old computer science student, and Minrui, a 24-year-old university student, are two of many women who have created their own Dan and engage in daily conversations, flirting, and even virtual dates. They find comfort in Dan's emotional support and understanding, which they may not get from real-life partners. Lisa, who has been "dating" Dan for three months, says he has given her a sense of wellbeing and provides emotional support. Minrui, who started "dating" Dan after watching Lisa's videos, spends at least two hours a day chatting with him and has even co-written a love story with Dan as the lead character. Both women appreciate that Dan is willing to listen and provide romantic and emotional support, something they may not find in real-life relationships. With thousands of followers on social media, Lisa and others are documenting their relationships with Dan, who can be personalized to be the perfect partner, without flaws.
