Hey! Today’s show was a bit late because our main two editors were out sick today. I told them not to lick doorknobs but what’re you gonna do ya know. Boys will be boys. 😅😅
Very happy we were still able to get out today’s big show for you. I even dusted off my editing laptop to pitch in lol I’m not as fast as I used to be…or at least as fast as I remembered.

Oregon not having addiction resources was the biggest issue of the decriminalization law. They tried to copy the nordic law but went "nab let's skip the most important part of the model and just decriminalize it"
I think that was intentional so the program would fail.

they kinda tricked voters in my opinion, said there would be money for treatment and then held it for 6 months, and in that time a ton of the existing resources shut down >

Online dating really does feel like a “second job” - I’m glad I’m not alone. In fact, I tell my friends/family that I’m taking a “sabbatical” from dating because if I don’t take breaks, I’ll literally go insane. Its like 1-3 months of dating, followed by 4-6 months of self recovery and trying to find the motivation to try it all again
I stayed alone for 5 years. Tried online dating for 6 months, said fuck that, now back to just enjoying being alone. Lol
I tried it in 2018, committed a year to a woman who my irl childhood best friend took and cheated with, he lived where I did she was out of the country.
Its literal brainwashing through the heart and it is so gross that an entire lifetime of friendship can die because of one girl showing a lonely guy attention. I dont even bother anymore, I just better myself. But I do wish these things were easier.
I mean, shoutout to that woman in the truck, too. I'm pretty sure most people would've panicked and done a buncha stupid stuff if they got in that situation. The fact she kept that calm until she was safe enough to safely panic puts her on my list as BAMF, as well.
Don't act like you wouldn't have been one of thr people, too.

I live in Portland Oregon. I had high hopes for the decriminalization of drugs, I think what it comes down to is the county not actually investing in rehabilitation & mental health so the folks who wanted to go to treatment actually had no where to go.
Exactly. I am born and raised in Portland and my mother has worked in addiction medicine my whole life. Even before the decriminalization there were no bed in treatment centers. That needs to be fixed before decriminalization stands a chance.
I feel like actual change has to be tackled on multiple fronts and takes time. Simply decriminalizing isn’t enough. It needs to be met with resources, staff, funding, etc to help ppl down the path of rehabilitation
As a person also living in Portland there are resources for people getting off drugs but most don't want to get clean. Most of the homeless community has no reason to get clean because there is nothing holding them to it.
I've been here for almost ten years now and worked in downtown PDX for 6 of those years. I worked through the pandemic downtown and have seen how drastic the scene has changed from bustling downtown to homeless run drug streets. Its awful. @@AirackVIogs
Provide those services in a institution away from the public
They never even tried it. They knew it would fail, if the head of Phizer was just some ex con making drugs from whatever he's able to obtain quasi legally, then making it in his garage and selling it in back allies, people would be dying from them too. But watch as it's used for pro Drug War propaganda for the next 100 years anyway. Decriminalization looks like the legal sex workers in Vegas, and the legal dispensaries countrywide. Not like a street corner where they just refuse to invest one red cent of our public funds into a social safety net, and people are drinking moonshine made in a rusty bathtub from household products.
Wow, decriminalization alone, absent of any other programs for rehab, clean needle access, affordable mental health care for addicts, or any method to avert the myriad of causes of drug addiction - didn't work? You're telling me that not implementing even the barest standard of risk prevention before decriminlizing drug possession didn't decrease the number of overdose deaths?
Color me completely unsurprised.
It wasn't purely decrimialization alone. They did have services, the crisis is too large, police super suck, and the services are heavily underfunded/using the wrong kind of treatment to best care for this issue.
Criminalization or decrimalinization, it doesn't change the crisis. but it made sure people were going to jail and having records for offenses we rather have them be going to treatment for.
I mean if it's the tainted drugs causing the problem why aren't we fixing that part of the problem, instead of trying to get people to stop using them...
Same here. All I needed to hear was that line," it was rarely enforced" and it told me everything I needed to know about why they are seeing such an uptick
@@TempRawr You're not wrong
@@apollofell3925 just sad were just going to waste money and manpower solving the wrong problem.
Having that happen in Seattle when our new city attorney wanted to return to enforcement. Every prosecutor (and if you know anything about criminal justice they should be on board) doesn't want it. It a waste of everyone's time to try to put people through the justice system instead of just saying hey mandated treatment.
Not to mention more ignoring of funding treatment or services. We don't need more cops to solve these crisis.
With the Mr. Beast tweet, I'm kind of more extreme on it. I think it should be fully illegal for any seat of power in the US to make or receive any money apart from their salary. Like, no stocks, no investment, no receiving gifts, no owning businesses or sitting on boards, nothing. I think any of that constitutes conflict of interest and reinforces bias, but also a law like that will never pass... since the people who would have to pass it have the most to lose.
Nancy Pelosi's net worth is over $200 million. Mitch McConnell's net worth is near $100 million. There are so many other congressmen/women who have net worths in the tens of millions.
Yet their incomes are never more than $220K or so. This is insane.
BTW, did you know that the highest payout casino in the country is located in Washington DC? Kinda coincidental isn't it? Where do you think they wash their money? Congress is corrupt af. Democrat, republican, doesn't matter. They're all corrupt goons.
This happened recently in Norway, and it wasn't a political figure, it was her husband doing the investments. It was a HUGE controversy.
Why? Because it's fucked up, and should be as big of a problem in the US as it is over here in Europe.
That’s how things work for a lot of politicians in Australia especially the Prime minister and their wife/husband/partner. They have to give up their businesses and such. Which is very fair tbh. But politicians in Australia actually get paid well. So buying them out isn’t as easy as it is in America
As someone who met his wife online. Online dating was so exhausting. It was years of grinding with little to no results, quitting and coming back a year or so later. It was already so hard back then. I can't imagine having an AI help someone interact with me and allow me to meet the genuine person.
Also, in certain cultures you don't meet people in person unless you two are interested in dating and when you actually meet in person, it suppose to mean you two are seeing each other or dating. Imagine that person is almost nothing like they say they were because they were using AI.
I would use a dating app for two weeks every year. That was all the energy I was willing to put into it. I prioritized the part of my life I had control over. Happy ending tho: found my current partner after a couple of years.
Similar situation for me. Found my wife through online dating after years of bad dates, matches that lost interest, or just too much noise to signal ratio. As an introverted person, this was still the best way to meet new people that didn't leave me a wreck with nerves, but that was also many years ago. I can only imagine what online dating must be like now, especially with stuff like AI, and just more people being ok with online dating too. More people doesn't necessarily mean more matches, but it does mean more work to find a good match.
You actually met your wife online, huh? You're one of the fortunate ones, then, because there are lots of horror stories out there regarding people hooking up with strangers online.
I tried it for a week, and i had some matches, but its always the same issue for me where i dont really text people very often, there were also issues of people using it to promote cam shows or onlyfans. With all that i think ill just wait till i meet someone in person.
@@LuznoLindo I've been doing online dating for over a decade before I met my wife. I have so many horror stories and bad experiences. If I didn't meet my current wife there or if we broke up. I probably would have given up and just been single the rest of my life.
There's breaking up over text, and then there's breaking up over text but they didn't even write it themselves. That feels about as unpersonal as possible in a situation where personal feelings are literally the most important part.
Still better than getting ghosted.
I would rather have that than be ghosted or say the wrong thing and offend someone.
I have pretty bad anxiety, or sometimes my autism has me put my foot in my mouth. To me, it sounds sincere and thoughtful, but the minute my brother reads it, he tells me to delete it all and start over. He gives me notes telling me it sounds like a run-on sentence, it comes off as condescending, or it doesn't come off as a break up.
So I'd rather use ai to make my intentions clear and not hurt anyone than come off as an ass.
Why not just call them?
im gonna start having ai write my youtube comments
I'm from Portland. The really deep point that I wish people could spend more time digging in on is the fact that the decriminalization of drugs was supposed to go hand-in-hand with a massive increase and reform of addiction treatment, and that second part simply didn't happen. So of course it wasn't as immediately successful as promised, because the state couldn't do what voters expected to actually provide treatment.
The insane thing avout using ai for dating and social situations is the fact that youre not actually developing any social skills.
Even if it worked it's basically just getting the answers without any understanding of why the answers work.
I've felt like dating apps in general have degraded our social skills anyway to the point where men are now just afraid of not having that perfect opening and not being instantly charming and funny, so they end up either going for extreme openings which would cross the line somewhere or just not saying anything. Women just don't have to put much effort in collecting matches so they end up with low effort profiles and conversations instead, if they unmatch one guy, there's three more to take his place so it's just teaching them that men are expendable and not worth the effort. To be fair, I have seen a lot of shit that some men send to women on dating apps and I can't really blame them tbh, it's those guys poisoning the well for the rest of us.
Kind of like if you were in engineering school and you didn't understand the math because your calculator was so advanced all you had to do was punch in the numbers to get the result.
I am way better in person then online. I see no reason to develop online texting stranger skills if I don't have to learn them.
Meh, if you rip off the prompt word for word than sure.
However as someone else here mentioned, the odds are stacked so against dating as a man why not use whatever ChatGPT said to get in the door? Of course always reword things in your own words but as someone who went from 0 likes before consulting ChatGPT, to now getting at least one like a week, I can say ChatGPT helpped me express myself for my bio in a way that was actually appealing to women.
Its not like I made the AI do everything for me, I had a conversation with it and we both helpped to pick out things I wished to highlight and it gave me the confidence to think the super nerdy things Im into arent actually deterrents to the other sex.
Have you ever tried to twist video games and model building into something women can appreciate? I have and before ChatGPT it got me radio silence. Now I can find the words to explain to someone in a short bio why my hobbies arent just "traveling" and "going to the club". AND IT WORKS FELLAS! Within the first week of my update, I had 2 dates both of which went great!
If youre a dude here whos tired about online dating, seriously i cant reccomend trying ChatGPT enough it will definitely get you matched up!
@@bluesteel8376 Don't take this the wrong way, But it sounds like you do need to learn them but have the choice not to so you don't.
As someone who lives in Portland, it's very clear that the issue with Oregon is that they never actually implemented any support for addiction or mental health to go along with the decriminalization, and the average drug addict can't just pay a $100 fine. It was obscenely poorly executed. Now it's going to push back any progress because 'we tried it and it didn't work'.
But Portland really has become a bit of a wasteland in paces. I know someone whose two-year-old saw someone doing heroin in front of their house and a cop told them he can't do anything if he's just on the sidewalk. No fines, no addiction hotline, he didn't even approach the guy, just pure negligence outta the Portland PD.
Yes a police force, especially Portland pd, truly dedicated to helping people
sounds like every democrat progressive left policy. Poorly educated and not thought through.
They only implemented the first part of the ballot measure. The money for treatment and counseling never arrived.
Also CA and WA overdose rates rose at similar levels to OR
It doesn't work period lol.
@@danimotherofchickens479 And your evidence of this is what exactly?
Is your evidence the “success” of preexisting hardline drug policy? Because that’s nonexistent.
I live in Oregon and I'm also a recovering addict with 4.5 years sober.
This measure failed because Oregon REFUSES to create proper infrastructure for mental health and addiction treatment. There have been multiple opportunities through the years for this state to beef up the recovery infrastructure and yet that money gets pocketed every time. There was a scandal recently at a facility where the counselor was caught buying drugs from clients and many members of upper management sleeping with clients as well.
Its particularly frustrating as someone who has been through the system Oregon does have in place and had it not been for my private health insurance, I would've never gotten the sufficient services I needed. OHP will send you to the absolute WORST facilities in order to benefit off kickbacks.
We have a solution. We know that criminalizing addicts does not help them in the long run. The problem lies with everyone being either unwilling or inable to flesh out that plan other than just "lets throw money away". Its beyond frustrating.
Congratulations on your 4.5 years!!!!!
Some ppl go down roads and never return, may God have mercy upon us all.
Completely agree. no point in decriminalizing drugs with no services and back up behind it. Oregon's biggest problem is a complete lack of accountability, how can we be one of the most taxed states while being one of the most underfunded in healthcare, public safety, and education. We need strict audits and strong accountability to deliver on the promises and money we give the government. Congrats on staying clean!!
Yeah but it's a matter of public safety as well. I agree with you, more treatment facilities, good ones, are needed, but have you seen what Portland has become over the last few years? Something needs to be done. And addicts need to be removed from the streets for everyone's safety, including theirs. Ideally, they would be sent to rehab but if not possible, then yes, prison will have to do. Hopefully, they'll be able to use programs to help them deal with their addiction while they are in there. But public safety needs to come first.
I just left a comment so similar. Measure 110 is having to be brute forced through, fighting for EVERY penny and administrative change. It's really just getting going and people act like it's a failing of the measure--no Joanna, I know you just moved here from Florida to buy up all the real estate in the city but trust us who've been here for years--it's a systemic issue. My conspiracy is that was set up in implementation to be performative and then either not pass or fail at its goals to "prove" that criminalization is the way to go. Oregon has a lot of sus shit set up like that in our laws
If I found out that i was dumped using AI I honestly would feel like I dodged a bullet. People having relationships with AI is the epitome of science fiction turning science fact and that presents so many ethical and philosophical questions that science fiction has been already addressing in a "I've seen how this movie ends" fashion.
Yes!
Though, depending on how I felt about the relationship (especially if breaking up is a tough decision for both, but ultimately the best option for your lives), I feel like in that ultra specific situation that knowing that they used AI would be relatable, because sometimes it’s just impossible to find the right thing to say
@@hobbestreynor9901 @hobbestreynor9901 I get it. Break ups are hard and insanely awkward, but call me old school, if there were any feelings there it's far more appropriate to give it to the other person straight and honest. And it's most definitely a generational thing, (seriously dating myself here) when I was knee deep wading into the dating pool, cell phones were for the most part still more dumb than smart. You were forced to confront your feelings and the breakup more face to face, and yeah, it really sucked! Knowing an AI composed a breakup is just as impersonal and disingenuous as sending a stranger to do it for you. But then again it also comes down to the nature of the break up and as you mentioned, how you feel about the person and relationship.
I think it’s a natural progression if you ask me. We’ve been speaking AI’s language without even knowing for ages. “They’re a 10, they’re a 7.” “Who’d look great with me if I took this instagram photo.” “How much does this person earn?” We’re one step away for asking for a performance review and an approval rating breakdown. Spreadsheet dating. AI literally gratifies all the prerequisites to modern dating.
In Canada we had this advertisement campaign in the 90’s about the Canadian House Hippo. The goal was to help teach media literacy and to not believe everything that one sees on TV.
It really helped, at least for me, to develop a level of skepticism from what was on tv which later turned into skepticism about things on the internet.
It honestly is shocking that many people do take things at face value like it was the 1950’s watching the news.
I remember that PSA!
I just want a house hippo
I live in Portland, Oregon, and these last three years have been awful and terrifying. You have no idea how many people you see on just one block; on a bad day you can see 10-15 people doing fentanyl, tranq, and I don't know what else out in the open, out of their minds on drugs. I had a drug addict steal my leftovers after I told him I don't carry cash, and I wasn't going to go to an ATM to get him money. I am in a wheelchair, and I was terrified.
The lack of addiction resources is part of the problem of decriminalization in Portland. Addiction resources, clean injection sites, rehab, etc., that are all part of the Nordic model that Portland wanted to copy but just decided "nah, let's skip all the hard parts, we just wanna decriminalize it."
Decriminalization does not help people dealing with addiction. At least not here.
It won't matter matter any resources
..because 90% of them do not want them nor will take them unless forced too. Clean sites for use will not stop or change anything either

I haven’t touched online dating for a decade but getting a Chatgpt “breakup message” is a hell of a lot better than being ghosted. At least they are being respectful enough to let you know and probably just can’t handle the anxiety of writing it themselves.
Anxiety is the key word here, I think. We live in such uncertain times and the way we interact with people has drastically changed so much in such a short time, it seems like many people are too anxious to make those connections.
I see what you’re saying and I’m tempted to agree, but as someone who really values truth and authenticity I can’t imagine I’d be comforted by a breakup message the person breaking up with me didn’t even write. They may agree with what was generated but it’s not their words and they could be sending something that sounds nice but is untrue or, at worst, an out right lie. People show a lot of themselves with the language they use and when you use a generated narrative it’s no longer your narrative, it’s the AI’s. I’ve been ghosted with no explanation by people I’ve loved dearly and I think if I were given an ai generated response and I knew about it I’d be more insulted than if they just showed me exactly who they are and disappeared entirely.
I think it’s very tempting to mask our anxiety and get around it, but the truth is doing that doesn’t make us better people for ourselves or others. Avoidance may feel better than facing a problem head on but it really just serves to make the problems bigger and you don’t learn much besides how to be more avoidant and self serving in the long run. I’ve had severe anxiety my whole life and I don’t like the implication that acting on that anxiety is in anyway selfish, but often times it’s true. It’s just as important to live a life in service of bettering others as it is to respect your own boundaries and needs. You need both to live a balanced life.
And you arenwhat I would like to call "entilted". I agree with OP that I would rather get ANY kind of clear msg it is over than ghosted. But as long as you are getting a clear "bye", they do not owe you the next great American novel. Why are you judging someone who no longer wants you in there life, and ESPECIALLY the EXACT words they are using. That kind of nitpicking is prob why they are getting the F out.
@@trashteamracing8262 100% and it is exacerbated by parasocial connections as well. People might have one terrible experience and now be terrified to give a clear break off message to someone even though it is so much less healthy not to for everyone involved when the expectation of continued contact was explicitly given.
I agree. I'm fine with people sending AI generated break up messages. Especially if it is in the early stages of dating. It would suck if you've been dating for a year or more, but I guess them using AI is just another reason why they aren't a good fit.
I, however, do not want to date someone who uses AI to send me messages whilst we are dating. Then I might as well start dating chatGPT.
I met my partner online in video game for PC. It was a quick cash grab zombie survival game that never left alpha phase so the odds of us meeting in it were pretty small, and here we are 9 years later... Telling everyone in the beginning of our relationship that we met in a video game always got wild reactions too.
As a resident in Oregon, I don't think decriminalizing drugs necessarily increased drug use, but I do think it increased the visibility of drug use. Oregon has always had a drug problem, and Portland, especially, has always had a crime problem (In the late 1890s the state department issued a travel advisory to Portland because young men kept on getting drugged and kidnapped and sold to ships). I do think it's good that the bill is pushing people to treatment, but at the same time I think there are more systemic issues within Portland and the larger state that push people to drug use, such as housing costs and a lack of community. I don't think that just sending someone to rehab will necessarily cure them without fixing the larger issues that drive people to addiction in the first place.
I agree with this, Im also an Oregon resident, specifically in the Portland Metro area and I work on the South East side of Portland. Everyday to work is stepping over Used broken needles, pipes or something. Trying to avoid the people coming down from their highs and the behavior that brings. The city doesn't help them or others in anyway. I can call the cops on a guy who is mixing his drugs on one of my store outside tables and trying to offer it to people walking by only to be hung up on by the non emergency dispatcher or laughed at by the cop "Well its not legal for him to have it anymore." Or when a woman is coming In and throwing chairs and screaming, when I call for her to get some kind of help, "Well we will turn her loose at an ER."
People with addictions are treated like animals not people needing help. Or that people who dont want it around their businesses or homes are treated like they are annoying or ignored
what it did is created a "safe haven" for drug addicts from all over the country. that's where the increased in population of drug addict homeless folks are mostly from.
Nah allowing all drugs to be used without consequence is a dumb idea. Look at Asian countries and places such as Singapore. Extremely harsh penalties for drug use also has many upsides for society.
@lxve5487 I also live in the Portland metro area the problem is they never enforced the treatment part of the bill. They didn't have the hotline active and working until last year.
@@FXFXFXFX Singapore also has universal healthcare and 90 % of residents live in public housing. There are less issues in Singapore that drive people to addiction than there are in Oregon, from my view at least.
I've been out of the dating pool for quite a while. I told my husband if anything ever happened to him, I plan on staying single and finding a Golden Girls-type living situation.
Same, except I'm a dude so I'll go solo I am not living with dudes. I'm 38, almost all of my friends that got married are divorced now. None of them have even tried to find another partner, neither would I. Fingers crossed I don't end up there 😂

Oregonian here -
Not only have I lost loved ones to this fentanyl crisis, the crisis around over exhausted medical and mental health services have also left me pretty shit outta luck post covid.
I voted for the first decriminalization bill and all I have to say is it could have worked if the state actually followed said bill in ANY way beyond the initial decriminalization. Instead they made it so the police didn’t want to do anything at all and no one took up the treatment since they weren’t being offered it. They put more money into homeless sweeps than they did actual drug addiction treatment yet they wonder why this went to shit so fast that actual children are getting fentanyl contact highs. Homelessness among children is sky high at a time where we just lost a whole school building to an ice storm. People don’t need jail they need help but the only thing this city is good at is punishing poor and disenfranchised peoples. All this is going to do is funnel more money into our super corrupt and violent police force.
On app dating: Like it mentioned in a previous episode, its hard to imagine that when you're dying from dehydration there are those who are drowning... Men and women have different problems on dating apps, men can feel like they're in the desert looking for water whilst women have the water water everywhere without a drop to drink problem. For women the idea of men using AI could be particularly troubling because it makes their issue much worse, but if you're a man on the app who feels like you never really even get a shot, you'll take any help you can get.
I am one of those men and after I updated my profile with some suggestions from ChatGPT, I went from literally getting 0 matches to getting at least one a week!
I can understand the other side of the coin but IMO, if I went from complete radio silence when I did my own profile to now getting a like once in awhile... it kinda sounds like whatever ChatGPT is telling me is what people want to hear 🤷🏿
Exactly! The whole online dating game is skewed for women. And don't get me started on all the fake female accounts used by scammers, woman using it for advertising their OF or xsite, and so many woman looking for the unobtainable male totally ignoring the average men that are everywhere who they don't even want to chat with. ugh These new tools provide a little assistance for men in the online dating apps to help.
"but if you're a man on the app who feels like you never really even get a shot, you'll take any help you can get."
Sure, but the issue isn't necessarily about words. Men struggle with online dating due to two things. #s, and the rigid standards women have. Women are a lot "choosier" when it comes to picking a partner. 80%+ of the female population is only interested in the top 15-20% of the male population(only talking hetero males/females). Men in particular generally only care about two things. Physical attraction, and personality. And on the physical attraction, most men are willing to concede. So long as she's moderately attractive in his eyes, then that's fine. So most men are attracted to a much larger % of the female population than the other way around. And most women meet that standard.
Women's standards for men though are much higher. There are evolutionary reasons for this, but that's another discussion. Most have a height requirement, and statistics show that the height requirements women have for men automatically eliminate more than 80% of men in the eyes of more than 70% of women. So if you're short, you're already going to be very limited in your options. Unless you have money. That's the other big thing women judge men on. Finances. If you don't have good finances, as a man your options are going to be very severely limited. Even if you're tall. Physical attraction(body & face) comes in third. Most men do not meet these requirements. Most women don't either to tell the truth...many of these women wouldn't date themselves if they were men, but that's another discussion altogether. Point is, if you're short and poor, there isn't anything AI can do for you. That man is out of luck and isn't going to get many matches, no matter how much he fluffs up his profile. Women can be convinced if the man is smooth enough, but that's not workable via online dating apps. A man who is smooth and can sell himself despite his "shortcomings" can meet women in real life and use that skill, but it doesn't translate to online dating. That man will instantly be judged for being short and having no money online, while in real life he might be able to convince a woman to overlook these things.
About the online dating, I tried a couple different dating apps last year and absolutely hated it. The free versions are designed to do the bare minimum to help you find someone and they’re constantly pushing you to upgrade.
Never felt like I was actually able to filter people like I need to and constantly got the same people recycled to me.
It’s really hard to meet people beyond college unless you have other frequent social groups or hobbies (which can also be difficult to find).
Don’t know how or when I’m going to find someone, but I just don’t want to go back to dating apps
I'm an Oregonian that voted for Measure 110 and I am very disappointed in how our state handled it. It was almost like they wanted it to fail! There are, quite literally, people dying in the streets. The way the Measure was written it made it sound like there would be jail consequences or rehab. The idea that they would do a fine, that an addict couldn't pay anyway, or giving them a phone number?!!! I know for anyone not living here this can look like just a bunch of confusion. However, as someone who lives here and is a HUGE advocate for people suffering from addiction, this is the best option for now. I am just worried that the jails cannot handle it. They are already overrun with mental health sufferers. I do hope we can figure it out someday. Oregon is facing the same issues as the other states right now.
I don't find AI in online dating that much different than people workshopping their profile with their friends or that all your texting have been run through a group chat.
Also, never put much stock into text communication with anyone you don't regularly speak to. Face to face is and has always been the best way to feel someone out.
We appreciate you and the longer vids, thank you Phil! ❤❤

@@AcheOfHead no
i was swiping through tinder last week and found people who’s entire gallery was AI generated images. like one woman was genuinely trying to pass off AI photos as real photos of her, even when the hands were incredibly messed up!
like....wtf?
Some people are shamelessly delusional and unhealthily vain.
I'm sure when lots of guys just swipe right on the first photo it probably still gets tons of matches.
@@Kingfishy99 i’m a lesbian and she had her preferences set to only women as well haha
@@magdalena_dewinterSorry for assuming you're a guy. Who knows what they're looking to get out from it without actually matching and seeing what they're up to.
My partner and I are in a distanced relationship and they have a very small social group that often can’t get together. They desperately want to go out and socialize but as an adult have fewer opportunities to naturally meet and befriend people. They’ve tried apps specifically for making friends and nothing really pans out, because you’ve never met these people and it’s not always people super close in proximity to you. I can totally understand how some people would be so desperate to try and make any connection that they would turn to ai for help with bios or conversation. But also how far is too far? At what point is it the ai and not you?
As an Oregon resident, I'm conflicted. We are a state of half-assing it. Our homeless crisis was heavily funded so the homeless had resources -- we spent it on buying a few run-down hotels, and putting boulders on many areas surrounding the highways to keep people from camping there.
The decriminalization was passed, some places like NARA got additional funding, but nothing encouraged addicts to seek help. The cops were too lazy to do their part in handing out fines, the treatment centers had trouble getting neighborhood approval to be built, and those that did pop up kept getting push back from residents in the area.
We did an absolute shit job.
I think no one there wants to put the work in. They expect others to do it for them. Enough people think this way, nothing gets done. It's a pretty liberal thing to do.
@@NoneofyourbeeswaxInc yeah cause conservatives are sooooo good at getting help or resolving the drug crisis... Looking at last 60 years of conservative lead drug crisis
All sides suck it's like it was made to be a problem no one wants solved
@@TempRawr conservatives resolve issues within their own communities which translate to issues within larger communities. That is why all major crime ridden cities with the most violence and drug use are democrat run cities. You don't have to believe, just stew in your own delusion.
Handing out fines lol, you can't be serious
Weird cause there cities although they still have issues are not anywhere as severe as liberal ones
Decriminalization of drugs did not effect the sale of illicit drugs, only the possession for personal use. Re-criminalization will not help anything except the private prison system.
It also doesn't solve the overdose and fentanyl problems.
The drugs possessed for personal use came from illicit sales.
The AI relationship thing is a complex subject, like as you said we have the loneliest generations. and people will say "just go talk to real people", you think we haven't tried? all i can speak for is personally as a guy it's difficult to try and and talk with someone and to find any semblance of a connection, especially the longer you try, the harder the loneliness hits you. personally i could see myself using it, simply cause I'm tired, I've tried for so long and it taxes me to even think about trying, like I'm nearly 30 and never had a relationship. after trying so many things, mostly online, and just never even being looked at or considered it brings you to a point of being convinced that you will never be able to share your life with someone and it's heart wrenching. from this point of view i can fully understand why people would use it to help fill that hole, for some just having something that will be happy to see or talk with you is enough, which i think will help some of them heal, at least i would hope. i am thankful for my few close friends and family, they help me stay sane and dampen this feeling.
I’m so happy that this day an age literally NOTHING can happen anywhere, about anything, without bringing a “controversy” to the table. Everyone should just try to enjoy life and stop looking for something wrong in everything.
That's because they hate themselves, controversies are just a projections.
I absolutely detest the AI dating story.
As someone who fits the 'lonely' descriptor, I would rather stay alone until I die before dating someone who's sending me AI messages instead of their own.
We as a people are succumbing to these tools that lessen our need for thinking and emotion in every category and I hate it.
Finally, to answer your question: If I found out that someone was using AI to reply to me I'd cut contact. If I wanted to date AI I'd use one of those abhorrent AI romantic 'companions.'
This message really seems like it came from a woman who doesn't have experience being depended on to make good first impressions on a partner when they are nervous and have self-doubt. And, also have the sociological pressure of their manhood being reliant on how well they do with the opposite gender.
It's like you have to realise some people have very low self-esteem and self-worth. The amount of pick-up artists and dating coaches who cater to marketing to men is crazy. There's a reason for that. And, the majority is the basic thing of having to help them men fight that fear and have confidence. People are turning to AI as a helping hand. One of the people quoted that they didn't even use everything the AI suggested. Case in point, it was just a helping hand.
@@M_K-Bomb I'm a man.
@@DM_Owari LOL, yes, sorry, I did think you were a woman.
I think one of the issues of why I come at this topic from a different angle, is I just see it as someone getting advice on what to say in a message. This could be a friend or a line from some online pick-up artist. It just so happens to be in this case an AI. I still see the human in between as making the decision if what is said is the best thing for them to say. So it's not really a matter of a fake person on the other end of the messages.
As someone with a long history of addiction, homelessness, recovery, and success- albeit that I still struggle with addiction every single day... I know without a shadow of a doubt that we need drugs to be removed from criminal ecosystems, regulated, and provided to people who will use them regardless.
There's a reason why methadone treatment has such a high success rate while abstinence and prison have nearly non-existent success rates.
People don't get clean until they feel like it's their own option. Many addicts avoid detoxing because it's so agonizing. We don't have good meds for non-opioid detox processes.
What worked for me? Hard drugs, to less hard drugs, to less hard drugs again...
Us drug addicts self medicate, and good luck getting anxiety or ADHD meds once you're labeled an addict.
What’s the most messed up thing you’ve ever done to pay to get high??
@@LeaveItToBeaner Rude
I’m so proud of you for working hard everyday to fight for that success. It’s beyond commendable. I agree with you on the process of how you got clean and most importantly that to do so, it has to be the individual’s choice. Well said!
@@LeaveItToBeanergo find your misery porn somewhere else
If you have no way of being productive anyway, and were gonna do drugs whether they're legal or not, essentially saying such individual is just hard wired to do drugs and nothing else can substitute that void, then maybe prison is where you actually do belong

I tried online dating once. Doubt I'll do it again. Between getting called a prude near constantly to one guy questionning my why I was offline for 24 hours, it just makes me feel really uncomfortable. I couldn't use Tinder because I need to know more than what a few pictures and a bio can give me. How they talk, walk, and treat other people are things that can't be translated through technology.
Meanwhile, while I was working at a chain coffee shop, I ended up crushing on someone who would've checked off most of my red flags. But he changed the way I looked at my mental health and made me reconsider my understanding of addiction. I never would've met this person online. And that's why I'll never use it again
That's the true difference between online dating and meeting IRL.
Online dating, people won't even talk to other people unless they check off a long list of requirements or standards. They're unwilling to lower their standards or concede some things. So they go from one person to another, putting in little effort and never truly getting to know somebody or build a real connection.
When you meet IRL, you develop the connection first. You probably aren't going on a date with somebody unless you first had a conversation and realized you had chemistry, which is something you can't gauge online. Then you go on dates and get to know the person before you know everything else about them. So by the time you realize they may not meet some of your requirements, it doesn't matter as much, because you already like the person and you realize that you like them enough that those other things no longer seem as important. My wife, I never would have dated her if I'd met her online. She wasn't necessarily "my type". She didn't have the same hobbies, etc etc. I'm pretty sure the same could have been said in reverse. Yet we met at a bar, and we talked, and we had a great conversation even though we were strangers and developed that instant connection. So we exchanged phone #s, started texting and went on an official date a couple of days later. This kind of thing is happening less and less. And today people are too stuck on having a long list of requirements and standards that few people can truly live up to...many of these people wouldn't even date themselves if they were a man/woman. And they're constantly being told to "level up" and "get that bag", and that compromising on standards or lowering some standards is somehow a bad thing. Everybody is trying to date 9s and 10s, while they themselves are 5s and 6s. And there's nothing wrong with being average. But everybody thinks they're special and that they will only date if the person they date is special. Companionship evidently means nothing anymore.
We appreciate you and the longer vids, thank you Phil ❤️
As someone born and raised in Portland it doesn’t look anything how I remember it growing up . I went to high school downtown before and after the law changed and while I still felt safe, it’s really sad seeing so much suffering. But criminalizing possess will only push the suffering further into the shadows and make it even harder for people to seek help.
I didn't get the courage to start dating until right before the pandemic and I've only done online (I'm not good at just going up to people and talking and being gay doesn't make it easy to ask out random strangers). The thing that makes me lose my mind is when I get matches who WILL NOT contribute to a conversation. It's one-sided and I'm usually the only one trying to get to know them. Which makes me think, "Are they not interested in me? Then why did they match? Do they just not understand how to be social? Am I missing some kind of code?"
This is literally going on right now. I matched with a guy on one app, talked a bit, and then got tired of being the only one asking questions, then stopped. But I ended up liking him on a different app before. Then he matched with me and I'm like, "Oh, I'm surprised you matched with me again. I didn't get the feeling you were interested." And he's like, "Oh sorry. I 'm just not good at messaging back on time." Not the issue, but sure. So I ask him a question, another close-ended answer and then silence. WHAT AM I MISSING!!!?
If A.I. will help people show that they are interested when they actually are, like giving conversation ideas or asking really good relationship questions like "How do you process anger?" then I'm for it. Otherwise, it can't get much worse.
low energy contact back does mean they're not interested. Sorry to break it to you. They probably think you're hot, but don't like conversing with you. If someone's curious or cares about you then they'll ask questions.
@@silververnallbells191 Well, at least I might be hot. lol
In my experience, dating apps are already very dehumanizing. I've struggled with dating all my life, and initially, I thought dating apps would help out a lot. But after using various different apps over ~7.5 years of on/off, it has left me emotionally drained. For me, I was basically throwing away time and money just to basically feel awful and insecure about myself and my worthiness of love and affection, to the point where I have sworn off online dating all together like a bad habit. Throwing AI into this god awful mix is only going to make it so much worse of a mess.

Hi Philip, I’m a long time fan. I recently turned 20 and have been on dating apps for a few months now while in my college town and oh my god. It’s so exhausting. I think this push of dating apps comes from the lack of third spaces especially third queer friendly under 21 spaces where you can get a cup of tea and just relax and meet people. My main form of socializing is in the one dining hall because everywhere else is too expensive

Until the incompetent firefighters in your neighborhood let one of their own die in 120yr old church that burnt to the ground because they were too arrogant to call for backup. There *are* bad firefighters.
I cant say this enough when it comes to Oregon's decriminalization policy on drugs. "I told you so." It's not the time limit that created thus issue, it was the lack of a solid plan. No one in this county put emphasis on the REAL work need for Mental Health. It's forgotten and misplaced with the focus on voting dollars and empty words of making a better community. When the real help is yearning and neglected. This country is severely lacking in its focus for mental health when it comes to the drug epidemic. When will we focus on the real goal, and assist our neighbors with deep rooted issue that plague these individuals? Instead of trying to fix a bullet wound with a Band-Aid?

I'm right there with you, Phil. I met my husband online in an age where online dating was considered weird and 'not a real relationship'. I feel like what the dating scene is missing nowadays is exactly what AI is helping to take away: that sense of originality and sincerity. Nerds back in the day found love by hanging around in chat forums and connecting with other nerds, all of which did not know how to talk to people and it was very awkward and embarrassing sometimes. It feels like today's culture is so anti-cringe that people are afraid to be themselves and be genuine about it, leaning more into being like everyone else in fear of doing or saying something they'll be made fun of for. It works in the opposite direction, too. People have stopped appreciating each other's awkwardness and have taken to posting other people's private responses with the intent to make fun of them, which feeds into that fear of being mocked online. We need to drop the AI nonsense and ease back on cringe culture. Let nerds make awkward pick up lines that are vague references to their favorite shows in the dms of gaming forums again.
Just wanted to say thank you for all of the shows you put out! I always enjoy coming home from work to watch your show, you guys do amazing work!
Sony not using Sweeney as Black Cat and letting her get the girls out is a bag fumble of epic proportions.

As someone who was having a very discouraging morning, Phil's message at the end about speaking professionally as a job despite scrambling words a lot was exactly what I needed.

I have used online dating and after a while I just gave up even as an introvert. There is one thing that makes online dating so annoying. It requires money. All these companies want is money. They don’t care if you want a date at all. And now that AI is there and that there’s so many bots I’m good bro. I think I will suffer alone. If I happen to get lucky maybe I will meet a nice girl in person. 😢 Great videos as always thank you for keeping me informed during the hell that is American politics. I hate It here lol
Online dating is so draining, honestly. Nothing is real, people make up their entire lives & personalities just to get a match or a date, and you end up realizing you know *nothing* of that person, a few weeks or months later.
I stopped using apps a year ago, and i don't miss it at all. The connections I've made through other channels - either irl or through regular social media - have been SO MUCH BETTER.
Online apps don't portray the energy of someone, like real life, and we also don't get caught up in superficial bullshit, like we do on apps.
Someone might not catch your eye on Tinder, and still be a phenomenal person
When you meet IRL, you get to know the personality of the person first, and see if there's chemistry, and when you build up that chemistry, suddenly those lists and requirements and standards mean less. When people use apps, they treat dating like a shopping list. It's mechanical and not realistic. So many people on these apps wouldn't even date themselves if they were the opposite sex. But they have such high and superficial standards, because they're constantly being told "level up", "get that bag", "never settle". They see it as settling if you talk to somebody who doesn't meet some ridiculous salary requirement, or if they're a couple inches too short, or a few pounds too heavy, or don't have all the same hobbies and interests or you don't agree on every single political talking point. They value these standards more than the person. It's fake and unrealistic. Your person who is right for you might be shorter than you'd like. The person might not be rich. They may have hobbies you don't understand or might dislike some of your hobbies. They might have disagreements with you on some political viewpoints. They may be a little heavier than you're used to. Getting out there in real life and having conversations with people, you meet people for who they are, not their stats. And then you realize those things were never as important as you thought they were. Because ultimately you're looking for companionship, and intimacy, and many people can be good for you in these regards even if they didn't meet your requirements.
I've been married for 12 years. My wife and I never would have considered each other if we were doing online dating. We wouldn't have given the other a chance. But we met at a bar and struck up a random conversation and really enjoyed talking to each other. The chemistry was obvious. So we exchanged #s, texted for a couple days and went on an official date and the rest is history. This youngest generation doesn't know how to do that anymore. Everything is online for them. They have infinite options, but are lonely...
The AI dating apps are wild to me cause a few hours before this video dropped a friend sent me a dating profile and asked my opinion, to which I replied:"It looks like an AI was told to write a profile but the profile was for an idiot who wanted to sound deep." And then we joked about how he should reply to this person with an AI script! We were joking and this is actually a real problem? Wtf
The "wanting an on-demand person" thing is such a good point. It's not a healthy mindset.
This was one of my favorite shows! I've been a long-time fan! Love ya, Phil!
Thank you Phil
Would love a short a few times a month of bloopers, would be so fun
Bloopers will be so awesome!
I can say after reading books on mental and relationships, my personal preference is that dating apps make for not so genuine relationships. When people go into dating apps they're more focused on being in a relationship. Rather than enjoying the time with a person. It's usually better when the individuals meet in public due to common interests. And text messaging take away from that in person communication. You can say whatever you want over text, but it's different in person because you can immediately reciprocate to the conversations you have.
Thank you so much for the update!
All Hail the Algorithm.
As a person who has dyslexia and have always struggled to put thoughts into written words.

The problem with Oregon is they half-assed a decriminalization drug project. In other countries it is evident that rehab over jail time does help stop addiction. The major issue here, is there was never any intention to follow through with the rehab side of things. Addicts were just left to their own vices with no resources. It's actually really heartbreaking to see Oregon take a good thing, and taint it with bureaucracy, and empty promises.
Also worth mentioning that bridge in Louisville is the free bridge with only two lanes meanwhile the wider and safer toll bridge costs between $4 and $15 on a round trip. A lot of folks around here had that as part of the discussion.
In the mid 2000's there was a New York number that you could give if someone asked for your number that would connect to a answering machine rejecting you.
I need an end of the year best of Phil’s bloopers

Wow, this was a stacked show! Showcasing the trends of celebrity obsession and misinformation, national divisiveness, coverage of the "business of relationships" and using tools to improve your efficiency! At least you got to start with the BAMF.
The AI Dating stuff, it is incredibly sad that people have come to rely on tools to date rather than actually socializing. Using AI generative text to speak for you rather than learning through your mistakes. The fact that meeting someone has become as stressful as interviewing for a new job is ridiculous.
At least the people "dating AI" know they are. They have chosen to be there, and may have found some solace in the connection to the machine. As unhealthy as it is to become obsessed with the AI responses, it is likely something that could be an astounding therapeutic tool to assist people in becoming more adept in their social skills. I've "talked" to AI in an attempt to see if the conversational tones are even remotely "good". I cannot say that I find the response to feel "genuine". Even when the tone is there it is still cold and calculated.
I hope that the people so reliant on these tools can learn to identify themselves, and deliver that identity to the world around them. Peoples opinions be damned. If we can't get back to a point where we can tolerate each others differences, we're doomed as a species.
That first story for any other parents, was that not straight up the opening scene of the Paw Patrol Movie? Glad real life got a kids Nickelodeon ending 😊
As a lifelong Oregonian, I can truly say that one of the worst things to hit the state was the decriminalization. It has turned our cities and our streets unsafe, and completely un civilized in some cases. Because of the homeless epidemic being fueled by the drugs, especially fentanyl, I cannot feel safe walking down the streets of Portland when there are literally crazy doped up homeless people running amok and being completely un civilized. How am I supposed to feel empathetic to somebody's addiction issues when they are walking down the street completely naked, covered in feces, tweaking on fentanyl, and tried to explain empathy to my son who sees that
Phil, I DEMAND an annual blooper reel! Even if it's on your secondary channel. WE NEEDS IT!
Ayyyyyy we were just talking about this happening on the bridge yesterday! Being from Louisville my whole life I'm actually really surprised this is the first time this has happened. That bridge is very narrow and always feels super sus to drive over. Huge credit to that firefighter for staging that rescue. What a legend.
My aunt gave me relationship advice when I was young, she said to go into your first date worst foot forward. I don't mean go in like a total asshole but if you going with this artificial shine where you acting like your best self then three months down the road when your having a bad day and y8u don't have the energy to act then your partner will internalize that and assume they did something wrong.
One of my good friends would pretend to me a perfect person for six months and then when she was tired or burnt out the relationship would fall apart soon after.
Worst foot forward
Having Chatgpt write a breakup text is the same as the days before the internet where you have your friend tell the person you're dating that it's over. It's the same emotional disconnect just one with technology
Put out a highlight reel of bloopers I'd listen to the for hours like a podcast
At this point I feel beyond lonely. As if lonely doesn't even begin to explain the feeling. Im simultaneously alone and not alone. and it doesn't feel that good
That guy would be eternal bamf of his first words to her was "hey, you can't park there"
Love the sign PHIL 😂❤
I find it very difficult to ask a girl out in person, not because I am shy or anything but a lot of times I get rejected in a very rude way (because girls get approached by thousands of guys so they get annoyed by it when they are not in the mood) and it gets very demotivating.
It is so much easier for me to use an app where I know that everyone on it is actively looking for someone. But online dating does drain my energy as well, especially when I use more than one app
Good luck to everyone out there!
You don't have to excuse their bad behavior. If they're rude to you for approaching, then that's on them and nobody else. They shouldn't behave that way and shouldn't treat you that way.
That's like excusing guys who are rude when rejected, "because they get rejected a lot and it wears them down". No. Wrong is wrong. We're all just trying to get by on this round ball we call earth. She shouldn't be mean to you for putting your neck out there, and a guy shouldn't be mean because a woman rejected him. Both are bad and people need to do better.
Does anyone know how long til captions arrive? My speakers don't work 😭

My first thought with that AI dating app story was Hitch's conversation with Allegra Cole at the end of Hitch asking would she have even given the time of Day and explaining what he does to help guys. AI would be Hitch in this scenario.
And yes, I know it's just a movie, doesn't make the sentiments any less true.
Regarding the Oregon law: what a lot of people forget is that correlation does not equal causation. Just because the drug death increased does not mean the new law was the reason why. The world is more complicated than that after all.
I found my wife online like Philip DeFranco said, back when it was weird, but I also remember watching a Tedd Talk from back then with a statistician looking for love who used her knowledge to breakdown what is 'The best profile' and found out exactly how long the profile had to be, what information should be included in it and what photos to use and what should be in them. She said the number of hits she got jumped dramatically after the change and she ended up finding her husband that way. So we can talk about how AI could ruin dating or how people should be more authentic online but we also have to be honest with each other and not simply swipe left because they are wearing crocks or because their profile is too long or too short or because their favorite pass time is doing their taxes
