I don’t want an AI girlfriend, I just want to think out loud to another person. It helps me think and solve problems on my own. I feel like AI should be perfect for that. However the couple I’ve seen advertised and tried out… Well they essentially are only programmed to be like:
“Let’s change the subject. Maybe this picture will help” blured picture behind a $50 subscription pay wall
And I’m like “no… If I wanted to change the subject I wouldn’t be talking about this subject. I’m not at all interested in $50 AI tits.”
I have a very low bar of expectations. Even if the AI just responds “wow, that’s crazy” to everything that would probably be fine for my needs. More would be better but I do not need lewd pictures and I’m not paying $50 a month lol.
You can probably just use any of the big chat programs, and just start out by telling it you want it to converse with you like it’s just another person.
Gemini has that “live” feature where you can talk out loud and it sounds like you’re talking to a real person. Combining that with pre-prompting for casual conversation is fairly convincing.
I’ll try that one too. Thank you.
Ive been out of the loop with AI stuff, I never thought much about them until I saw the AI girlfriend ads on you tube. Then I started thinking that might be perfect for thinking out loud and figuring stuff out.
It very quickly became clear the girlfriend aps are programmed exclusively (and lazily ) for lonely horny people. I probably should have expected that from the ads but I figured if it’s AI it could learn commands like “stop trying to change the subject to boobs”… Nope…
Wow, that’s crazy
Literally any of the major LLMs.
I’ve never seen pi.ai do the things you describe
I will check that one out when I have a moment. I bookmarked it. Thank you.
You’re losing it brother
Losing what?
Honestly chatgpt with memory is pretty great, although privacy wise I’m very careful with what I say.
If you care about privacy more than your AI friend being smart try Claude or Mistral but that’s a significant downgrade in conversational quality.
I guess I should also add for clarity that I’m aware there are chatbots for free out there that can answer questions.
That’s also not really what I’m looking for either. I don’t need “how can I brew my own mead”
I’m looking for something in the middle. An AI that responds and remembers previous conversations we’ve had, not pushy with solutions but not a placation machine.
I’m not looking to pretend it’s real, or that we are in love. A tool to express my thoughts out loud mostly to myself but more interactive than a bathroom mirror.
Edit: again to clarify. I mentioned my low bar expectation of “wow, that wild”. My high bar, what I really a looking for is an AI that gives responses like “that sounds similar to the problem you mentioned last week, how did you handle that?”
So I can be like “yeah it is kinda similar, I didn’t think about that”
That would be the high bar. I’d pay maybe $5 for that experience.
Final clarifying edit: after reading my own post I’m thinking to myself, if this was posted by someone else I’d answer with something like:
“Sounds like you’re describing a therapist. AI therapists have a lot of issues but real human ones are getting cheaper with online appointments”
And that would be a very fair answer. Although I might benefit from a therapist, we all would. I’m talking more about mundane daily thoughts and talking to a therapist daily even online would be expensive.
Kindroid you can even integrate them into Second Life
If you have a computer and graphics card you could try some local llms. They are pretty awesome and you get to keep your days. I use oobabooga and stable diffusion with Silly Tavern as the glue to hold it together. I get model cards from character Hub
RTX chat
whatever happened to chatrooms, simple meditation, or therapy? it’d be better if your personal drama didn’t emit as much carbon dioxide as your commute
Why not simply host your own LLM and leverage that beefy gaming GPU you very likely own to do the work?
