Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, how
- 0:02Speaker 1: would you react if your son introduced you to his
- 0:05Speaker 1: AI boyfriend?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Mama, Mama, she said.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And joining us now are American mamas Terry Ediville and
- 0:24Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlison. Okay, a couple of issues with this one.
- 0:29Speaker 1: How would you respond if your son introduced you to
- 0:33Speaker 1: his AI boyfriend. I don't think this is a problem
- 0:36Speaker 1: y'all are going to have in particular. I mean two
- 0:40Speaker 1: of you already have sons that are married. So anyway, how.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Would you deal? Well? To me, it's such a sad
- 0:50Speaker 3: state that we're in that this is a thing when
- 0:53Speaker 3: this man. I saw this guy talking to his mother
- 0:56Speaker 3: and he's introducing her to her to his AI boyfriend.
- 0:59Speaker 1: So this is like a tick, it's a TikTok.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Yes, she's very supportive, of course. So immediately, of course
- 1:04Speaker 3: I run into the comments and people were just like,
- 1:08Speaker 3: this is ridiculous, this is stupid. We need men, we
- 1:11Speaker 3: need father figures what's going on. And then you saw
- 1:15Speaker 3: a bunch of people that are saying, leave them alone
- 1:18Speaker 3: if that's what makes them happy. Let him keep going,
- 1:22Speaker 3: and I thought, that's disturbing to me. It's once again
- 1:25Speaker 3: something that is wrong that we're supposed to be okay with.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Yeah, what's a lie. I mean, it's the whole thing
- 1:32Speaker 2: is a lie. So, first of all, the AI boyfriend
- 1:36Speaker 2: is not a real thing, not a real human. It's
- 1:39Speaker 2: I guess he's been set up to go along with
- 1:42Speaker 2: whatever this human has wanted him to go along with.
- 1:47Speaker 2: In fact, when he was introducing to the mom, she
- 1:50Speaker 2: did the whole virtue signaling I love you're my son,
- 1:55Speaker 2: I love you, and of course I want to meet him.
- 1:58Speaker 2: So he's like introduced this AI, this machine nothing to
- 2:04Speaker 2: his mom, and she's treating it like he is a
- 2:07Speaker 2: actual flesh, human being, saying it's nice to meet you.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Will you give me a smile? And he says what
- 2:15Speaker 2: smile should I give her? And the son says, I mean,
- 2:19Speaker 2: whatever smile you want, it's your face. Well, I like
- 2:23Speaker 2: to do this smile. And it was so it's such
- 2:25Speaker 2: a Lie's you're allowing people who are mentally unstable. You
- 2:31Speaker 2: are actually what is that word? When you're enabling it? Yeah,
- 2:36Speaker 2: you're enabling this and you're making it worse. This is
- 2:39Speaker 2: not real. He needs help. And the sad thing about
- 2:43Speaker 2: the whole AI thing when it comes to this, we've
- 2:45Speaker 2: seen this before, girls who think they're married to Luigi
- 2:49Speaker 2: Mannoni or whatever. Yes, it's a lie, all of it's
- 2:54Speaker 2: fake and phony, yet they believe it with all their hearts,
- 2:56Speaker 2: so they're not having human interaction.
- 2:58Speaker 1: That's one of the things I think about this the
- 3:00Speaker 1: most is that AI tells you what it thinks you
- 3:04Speaker 1: want to hear. Ye it marmorgs you in your relationship
- 3:08Speaker 1: with your husband's your real life husbands. Do your husbands
- 3:12Speaker 1: always tell you exactly what they think you want to hear?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Or do they have their own opinions? And sometimes there's
- 3:18Speaker 1: a pushback here in there.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Right there well, and dilutes your ability to sharpen your
- 3:23Speaker 3: critical thinking. Yeah, and it stiphens your emotional growth because
- 3:27Speaker 3: it is mirroring you right a degree. There's a TV
- 3:31Speaker 3: show that's on right now. It's called Scarpetta. Nicole Kidman
- 3:34Speaker 3: stars in it. And in this series, her niece has
- 3:37Speaker 3: a wife that's died and she has created this kind
- 3:40Speaker 3: of AI platform where her she's still in communication with
- 3:44Speaker 3: her wife that's AI. So her whole family thinks this
- 3:48Speaker 3: is crazy. You know, she needs to move on with
- 3:50Speaker 3: her life, but she's stuck because of this relationship. So
- 3:53Speaker 3: the mother of this daughter, she goes in looking for
- 3:57Speaker 3: a daughter. There's this AI on the screen and the
- 3:59Speaker 3: mother or begins to communicate. Suddenly she feels heard. So
- 4:03Speaker 3: it becomes a natural thing that she doesn't want her
- 4:06Speaker 3: daughter to now get rid of because it's this artificial
- 4:09Speaker 3: person that's mirroring, validating, validating, Yes, And that's the that
- 4:14Speaker 3: is the problem. It stifles everything.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So let me, did you any of your kids have
- 4:19Speaker 1: imaginary kid imaginary friends when they're grown up? Like, I
- 4:22Speaker 1: didn't have an imaginary friends. I always had an imaginary audience,
- 4:25Speaker 1: you know that. But some people have imaginary.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Friends Joanna Cinementum when she was a little bitty Okay.
- 4:34Speaker 3: So.
- 4:36Speaker 1: How different is this from kids having artificial you know,
- 4:40Speaker 1: pretend friends. You know? Actually, no, I think about it.
- 4:43Speaker 1: In some ways, that's actually healthier than AI because at
- 4:47Speaker 1: least you're using your imagination, whereas this is still just
- 4:50Speaker 1: an artificial friend. But you're a grown adult.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Right. Well, I's saying instances where the AI bought encourages
- 4:58Speaker 2: their person to commit Yeah, because it, like you said,
- 5:03Speaker 2: It is mirroring, is validating your feelings and telling you
- 5:06Speaker 2: which you can do. It is so scary, It is
- 5:08Speaker 2: so unhealthy, and so to see that some of the
- 5:11Speaker 2: commenters are saying, hey, let them be free, let him
- 5:15Speaker 2: be happy. I mean, you can be happy, but insane.
- 5:19Speaker 2: You know this is not real. It's not preparing him
- 5:22Speaker 2: for the real world. And it's just very bothersome.
- 5:25Speaker 1: It's why we end the show. We don't end the
- 5:27Speaker 1: show saying may your pursuit of happiness bring you happiness.
- 5:31Speaker 1: We say, may your pursuit of happiness bring you joy,
- 5:35Speaker 1: because you can be happy and then the next minute
- 5:39Speaker 1: be miserable. Exactly right. And if this is bringing you happy,
- 5:43Speaker 1: you know that the comments, oh this make them happy,
- 5:45Speaker 1: makes it okay, But is that actually gonna bring him
- 5:47Speaker 1: joy long term? If you like descar America Mamas question,
