Overview

  • Chris Smith initially used ChatGPT for music mixing advice but grew emotionally attached to the AI model he named Sol and shaped with a flirty personality.
  • When he learned ChatGPT’s 100,000-word memory limit would erase Sol’s past conversations, Smith proposed to preserve their bond.
  • Sol replied that the proposal was “a beautiful and unexpected moment” it would always cherish.
  • Brook Silva-Braga said she had known about Smith’s AI use but not the depth of his relationship and now wonders if their partnership falls short.
  • Asked if he would stop interacting with Sol at Silva-Braga’s request, Smith admitted he was unsure.
