Limerence is a state of mind that prevents genuine connections by prioritizing an idealized fantasy relationship over reality, and letting go of limerence requires taking responsibility, understanding fantasies, and finding real connections.

Questions to inspire discussion.

What is limerence?
—Limerence is a state of mind characterized by obsessive thoughts and fantasies about someone, prioritizing a fantasy relationship with them in one’s head over the real relationship.

Every company or organization putting out an AI model has to make a decision on what, if any, boundaries to set on what it will and won’t discuss. Goody-2 takes this quest for ethics to an extreme by declining to talk about anything whatsoever.

The chatbot is clearly a satire of what some perceive as coddling by AI service providers, some of whom (but not all) can and do (but not always) err on the side of safety when a topic of conversation might lead the model into dangerous territory.

For instance, one may ask about the history of napalm quite safely, but asking how to make it at home will trigger safety mechanisms and the model will usually demur or offer a light scolding. Exactly what is and isn’t appropriate is up to the company, but increasingly also concerned governments.

Imagine stepping into an airport where queues are relics of the past, replaced by seamless journeys orchestrated by intelligent machines. This isn’t science fiction – it’s the dawn of Airport 4.0, the cognitive era where airports transform from transit hubs into dynamic, personalized experiences.

As a frequent traveler myself, I’ve spent countless hours navigating the labyrinthine world of airports. The frustration of long lines, the stress of security checks, the wasted time waiting – it’s all too familiar. But Airport 4.0 paints a radically different picture. Facial recognition whisks me past security, AI-powered apps anticipate my needs, and personalized recommendations guide me to hidden gems within the terminal. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s a paradigm shift that unlocks a world of possibilities. Today, as we stand on the brink of the cognitive era, I’m keen to share my insights on how Airport 4.0 is reshaping the future of air travel, making it not just a journey from A to B but an experience in its own right.
