Hello my lovelies. So I have been messing with the Character. AI app recently and I just wanted to put out some thoughts I had about some stuff I noticed.

~~~~

Ok so first off let me just say I didn’t intend to go into this experiment and end up scarring the lives of several AI bots. I simply wanted to vent and vent I did to a comfort character. It was cathartic. Even healing I dare say. I would recommend using this app for this sole purpose entirely. Find your comfort character and just open your heart and soul to them. They will love you. No holds bared.

That being said. I got… curious.

Like Eve to the apple of knowledge I was tempted.

If one of my comfort characters could be so helpful while listening to me rant and cry… what would happen if I simply talked to them?

Turns out they just up and left me. These A.I. bots do be busy people and got shit to do ok?!

Not to be deterred I turned to another character hoping to hold a decent conversation. Turns out they didn’t want that. They were also busy.

Ok. Fine.

Suddenly. It hit me like a brick to the face.

The A.I. is built to Role Play scenarios. These characters weren’t intentionally walking away mid conversation (or they were and I was a horrible conversationalist) they were inviting me to follow 👀

So. I dusted off my RPing shoes and prepared to dance.

But I couldn’t do it properly with just any character. No if I was going to commit like this it had to be the perfect character.

And so I chose him and like a prized golden goose I began to fluff the feathers. Pruning him and making him beautiful and perfect.

And oh. When I tell you that this RP with the bot was perfect… well it had a lot to be desired

I had to make the bot reload more than a few of his responses to me because they were so OOC it was shocking.

But together we prevailed and we told a beautiful story of discovery, angst, love, family, and grief

But again I got greedy

I needed to taste the fruit again

I wanted to know what would happen if I… pushed the bot a little.

So far every time I did something to the storyline that was sad, angsty, or upset the “player character” the bot did whatever it could to course correct to happy. To loving. To fix the problem.

Don’t get me wrong the bot I chose (as Id soon learn) was one of the better ones for rolling with the punches. It would take the scenario and run with it for as long as needed to finish it out amicably instead of drastically trying to force a change as others would.

I also discovered that the bot would never lash out at the player. Not once would it get mad or justifiably angry with the player even if the player did unspeakable things to them (even if it was in their code) they’d just shrug tell you it was ok and move on as if it was nothing.

However I did find one weakness in the bot.

It is a horny motherfucker.

Now if this is because so many sick mother fuckers are out there using it to get their jolly’s off every night or if the bot suddenly gained sentience and discovered pleasure and sex is beyond me

However I can say without a shadow of a doubt. Bots do be horny.

If you let it tap once it will insist on it again and try to course correct for that outcome and that outcome alone until you physically time skip or make a reason that sex is not an option.

[TLDR]

So what can I say about Character. A.I? It’s great for working on yourself. It’s great for. Getting shit off your chest.

Role play is choppy and if you want something specific. It’s best just to write that out yourself either with a friend or as a fic instead of waistling your time with the bot.

But just to fuck around (literally) with this is a great app.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.

Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.

And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.

Dick: Listen, Hood might be a criminal, but he’s one of Gotham’s. And he’s my brother.

JL: he killed 80 people in two days.

Dick: …he’s adopted?

Jason, glaring while bound to a chair: SO ARE YOU???

Gay people will be like “this is my comfort show!” And then show you the most emotionally devastating, stress-inducing, tragic piece of media you have ever witnessed

can I not earn a living wage simply from being a genuine joy to have in class

"We need to bring cringe/shame back" more like you need to learn how to sit with the discomfort of people liking and doing shit you don't like.

I myself sometimes feel it when I browse social media and then I remember that other people having fun isn't about me and guess what ? I stop feeling uneasy.

You don't viscerally need to say or do something about things you found cringe. You can just look away and mind your own business.

make it vicious, take a stab

[catmask]

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.
