Shouldn’t have run your mouth. Don’t want to be called out for your stupidity, don’t say stupid things. Simple as.

Right, so you’ve got nothing. Except the need for attention, of course.

What the fuck are you talking about? The Snopes article does not corroborate your claim. At no point do they say it was “made up”. Seems like you’re projecting your own illiteracy.

Taken in isolation, sure. But when you have so many reports from so many people that are consistent with each other, disbelief becomes harder to suspend.

Then why did you bother commenting if you don’t know?

However, this does not mean that their brain is fully developed until they reach 25yo.

There is no age when the brain is “fully developed”. This myth comes from a study that showed the brain continued developing into adulthood, and the oldest participants were 25. The brain continues developing for basically your whole life.

Where does it say that it’s “just nonsense shit made up”?

And most of the ones educated on the topic all agree on the same thing.

Anger is overrated, it’s a motivator but it makes you sloppy. You should be focused and resolute towards different people.

I think there’s part of every nerd that loves seeing a real expert casually embarrass some cocky hotshot.

Y’know it’s funny, I just rewatched Her last night since my wife hasn’t seen it. Something that really struck me as somewhat overlooked on release was the undertone of “everyone is socially awkward and emotionally immature”, which has really aged like wine.

First of all, right from the opening scene, Theodore works at a company that writes “beautiful handwritten letters” by proxy. Later we learn there’s a married couple he’s been writing letters between since they first started dating. The whole film starts with the commodification of emotional connection.

Then there’s the phone sex girl, who asks him to choke her with a dead cat. Now, I’m no stranger to the kink community, but springing that on a random stranger mid-scene? That’s not something you just do. That’s a whole conversation with a consenting partner.

And no one takes rejection maturely. When Theodore goes on a date with Olivia Wilde’s character, everything is going great until she tries to get way too serious way too fast, on the first date. When Theodore doesn’t respond, she immediately says he’s “a real creepy dude” and shuts down. Then there’s Isabella.

Theodore is far from being unique in falling for an AI, since there’s already a service to provide surrogate bodies for human-AI relationships. But Isabella never meets him, never establishes boundaries, nothing. Now, I’m in an open relationship, and have brought women into the bedroom with my wife, but doing so without any kind of introduction or prep or anything is insane. But when Theodore doesn’t feel comfortable with the situation, Isabella has a breakdown. She doesn’t respect Theodore’s reluctance, all that matters is that she “wanted to be part of something pure”, without actually consulting the other human party involved.

Then there’s Charles, Amy’s husband, who clearly puts no effort into understanding her work, and decided he didn’t want to be married anymore after an argument about shoes.

And Catherine, who according to Amy had pretty volatile emotions, and seemed to project her own perfectionist insecurities onto Theodore, claiming he wanted her to be perfect when the story implies those were her own hangups.

I struggle to find a single character who seemed to be emotionally mature. They overreact, communicate poorly, and generally seem obsessively focused on themselves.

All of which is to say there’s no wonder they seemed to fall into parasocial relationships with AI. Having interacted with humans in the last 5 years, it seems like that kind of parasocial behavior is the most poignant prediction of the 2013 film. It seems like this “Google weirdness” is an accurate assessment of where we are as a species.
