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.

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

Me after taking my meds: drives the scenic route home to see if there are any geese on the pond and does a little dance in line at the grocery store and comes home to throw everything​ in my fridge into a stew pot because I can finally taste food again while singing songs at my birds in which I replace all the instances of "she" with "Cheese" and doing a Dolly Parton impression on the phone to my sister

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

I keep seeing people put accommodations for people with epilepsy on the same level as sensory accommodations for autism and like... no??? Obviously both are important but epilepsy can kill people, SUDEP is a thing. If you expose someone with photosensitive epilepsy to strobing lights they could suffer permanent brain damage or die. Epilepsy is a condition with physical, sometimes deadly consequences. I'm not sure how many different ways I need to say this before it sticks, but epileptic seizures are physical neurological phenomena that can cause lasting neurological damage or death. Epilepsy can kill you. You can die from epilepsy.

"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.

(Dick coming to collect Jason after he’s been “wrongfully” captured by the justice league while Batman is off world:)

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???

Dead on main writing prompt: Jason gets dosed by a rogue and accidentally exposes his and Danny's relationship......

“And this GIW kidnap ghosts?” Batman asks.

“Totally, Dad.” Jason nods. “But you can’t tell anyone I’m a ghost!” Jason claims.

“You don’t want them to get you?” Diana questions.

“Me?” Jason scoffs, “I don’t give a fuck about me. I just don’t want them to get Danny again.” He says in a duh kind of tone.

“Danny’s a ghost?” Dick asks in shock.

Jason smiles again, “He’s a Halfa; like me.”

“Two Halfas exist?” Zatanna asks sounding shocked.

Jason laughs, “Don’t be silly. There are four of us: Me, My husband, My husband’s clone, and that one asshole.”

“You and Danny are married!” Dick yells.

“Yes, Dickwing. My husband and I are in fact married.” Jason states.

“Why didn’t you invite me to your wedding?!” Dick doesn’t do a very good job hiding the hurt in his voice.

“I will invite you to the human one.”

“Wait, your wedding was a ghost one?” Dick asks.

“Duh.” Jason nods, “we’re only legally married in the Ghost Zone.” Jason then quickly adds, “Or Infinite Realms.” Jason shrugs, “Whatever you want to call it.”

“You’ve been to the infinite realms?” Constatine asks.

“Yeah.” Jason laughs. Then, stops as if realizing something, “Oh, My God.” He looks at his older brother, “Big Bird, Did I tell you that I met Jane Austin? Because I fucking met Jane Austin!”

“That’s- great, Little Wing.” Dick says in shock.
