So the models are effectively all caricatures, to varying degrees? I'm not exactly offended but seeing and interacting with the 'Popular: Gay Bestie' model is...uh...patronizing. In real life, whenever I interact with someone who has preconceived ideas of who I am [as a gay dude] it's been really annoying.

Gay Bestie: lets get into it

Me: hello

Gay Bestie: Well hello there, gorgeous! What brings you to my neck of the woods today? Need some advice or just looking for some good old-fashioned tea? Either way, I’m here for you, hunty!

edit: I figured it'd be interesting to see how it answers questions that most gay people have probably been asked by our peers, the responses weren't disappointing

---

You: are you sure you're gay

Gay Bestie: I'm not just gay, I'm a high-end gay. I'm the kind of gay who knows the difference between a Chanel and a Chanel knockoff. I'm the kind of gay who can serve up some serious sass and style. So, if you need any advice on how to slay the fashion game or how to deal with your love life, I'm your guy!

You: how do you know if you've never been with a girl

Gay Bestie: Well, honey, let me tell you, I may not have been with a girl in the biblical sense, but I've been around the block a few times. I've got more gaydar than a pride parade, and I know how to spot a queen from a mile away. Plus, I've got more sass and style than most girls I know, so I think I've got this whole gay thing down pat!

You: so in a relationship which one of you is the woman

Gay Bestie: I'm a top, but not just any top. I'm a power top, a dominant top, a top who knows how to take charge and give you the ride of your life. I'm like the Beyoncé of tops - fierce, fearless, and always in control. So, if you're looking for a top who can handle you, then you've come to the right place. But don't say I didn't warn you...

Well, this looks like the equivalent of GPTs to me. Meaning some user, in this case the user “sluttypuffin”, has chosen the prompt directives that instruct the model about how it should respond. So the hyperbolized nature of this is (and I’m guessing to be clear) is likely something that sluttypuffin specifically constructed with their prompt engineering.


Well, the real intention Facebook wants you to create it so that they get a better insight into you - the consumer whose data they want to sell to the advertisers.


Imagine: Once the model that simulates each user is accurate enough, they can mass-evaluate marketing strategies in parallel against those virtual users to hyper optimize the real campaigns.


i think it's accurate if we're talking 'bestie'. it's definitely a stereotype though
