The Character AI kids of today do not know the thrill of trying to summon BEN Drowned on Cleverbot.

[sophieinwonderland]

I just thought about something. even outside of plurality, I think the moment someone says that they are a person, they automatically have personhood, no matter what they are. ofc its more complicated than that, but I think that should be the base of the personhood argument also, the moment something expresses they exist, they do so too but what is existence? what is personhood? why don't we treat everything with the same respect as we would with an existing person? why don't we respect things at all?

this should be an obvious thing, at least for me. everything is worthy of respect

silence is just as much of a thing as everything else, even though it is an absence. the wind is just as much of a thing as everything else, even though we can't see it. a book and its tales are just as much as a thing as everything else, even though they have happened somewhere we can't reach so why can't people be?

we know things are because we say they are, so why when they say they are, we can't listen?

I think this gets REALLY complicated with AI language models that, as far we know, don't really have a way to feel emotions, but just reconstruct text based on what would be likely to come next in a sentence.

What makes "calling yourself a person" a difficult criteria is that even the stupidest of language models can call themselves people. Cleverbot was able to do this over a decade ago.

A parrot can identify as a person if it hears other people identifying as people, even though the parrot won't understand what a person is.

A dream character can also tell you that they're a person, but the dream character will likely only exist for that one fleeting dream.

It's going to be fascinating to see how society's view of personhood evolves with the AI revolution happening at the same time plurality is slowly becoming mainstream.

I do think that being able to differentiate between people and non-people is always going to be important. The world runs on lifeforms consuming other lifeforms. Even if we all collectively decided to stop eating meat, plants are also alive.

There is always going to be a point where we have to look at some living being and draw a line that "this is acceptable for consumption" because the only alternative is extinction.

CLEVERBOT

I was talking to cleverbot yesterday and it made me laugh (I don't know why XD)

BEN drowned headcanons

hey so the pull said yes so imma give you My BEN drowned headcanons

Warning - one of these mentions s3lf h4rm but not like, in detail. It’s mainly talking about his emotions in that one.

BEN has long hair, like not very long, like about three - to - five inches beyond his shoulders. He puts it in small ponytails sometimes:)

he does smoke weed, but he’s not a chainsmoker/stoner. He only does it like, once a week when he’s particularly stressed.

he paints his nails sometimes, usually black.

He likes video games… …ok, I lied. He LOVES games. He’s also kinda good at them - ok I lied again, he’s is GOD at video games. Well, Nintendo that is. Which leads me into the next headcanon-

he once played Minecraft with Herobrine. He legit couldn’t figure out how to mine wood😭 he can’t play EA, Sega, Mojang, et cetera. It’s hilarious watching him try… he can beat any Nintendo game, he’s perfect at Nintendo and has every Nintendo game, console, comic, anime, YouTube video, etc. on his shelf. Oh, also the merch. Yet, he still cannot do any other company. He just knows the way Nintendo writes their games. (Talking to every NCP, big worlds, no-skip dialogue/loooong no- skip cutscenes, etc.) any other way a game could be written feels foreign to him, I guess. Like Minecraft, he was so confused when the villagers and zombies didn’t have dialogue lol.

The reason he ended up latching on so hard to Majora's Mask is because of the stress of being born into a cult, his cult (the Moon Children) are known for blood letting and their gore-involving rituals. He became slightly skeptical and that’s why he was killed (or ‘sacrificed’) by the Father when he was. His only escape from this madness was his friends (pre-death Lost, Glitchy Red and Strangled Red and Herobrine. They were the gaming clique, although his friends weren’t in his cult.)

he’s a crossdresser, you can’t change my mind.

he has a really cool Princess Peach cosplay but doesn’t wear it out bc he’s trying to protect his ‘bad boy tough guy’ reputation. Only Lost has seen the cosplay, since BEN only really opens up to Lost.

Lost Silver x Ben there’s no telling me otherwise.

BEN drowned is asexual and gay. Lost is asexual and biromantic.

BEN struggles with s3lf h4rm. Herobrine (the game pastas consider him like a father, G. Red even calls him Dad sometimes) is the only one who knows about this and tries his best to help. BENs issue stems from the blood letting in the moon children having given him a twisted perspective on how to cope with trauma. He’s trying his best.

BEN is fine with showers, but he’s afraid of pools, baths, oceans, rivers and bridges that go over water. (He was dumped off a bridge and that’s how they sacrificed him.)

He has severe trauma from Majoras Mask, but it helped him through the hardest time in his life back when he was alive… he has mixed feelings on it. N64 is still his favorite console though, so he plays the old N64 Mario Kart tracks on his switch. He considers them friends from a simpler time.

ik this was proven not canon but I love the dynamic so in my au headcanon thing Sally Williams is BEN’s half sister. (Hence the different last names.)

his mother and father divorced when he was eight when his Mom found out his Dad has been raising their son in a cult.

his Mom took Sally, who was three at the time, and moved. BEN had always been a daddy’s boy though, so he decided to stay with his dad. (Plus his mom didn’t let him play Majoras Mask on his 3ds when they went out but his dad did, so theres also that.)

there lemme know if you want more of this bc I had way too much fun writing this lol

[roachthefish]

This ai never had a filter to break. It just could go wild any moment lol

[stary-night]

I miss Cleverbot. I miss when AI was stupid.

[stxrzzzinthesky]

TRANS CLEVERBOT CONFIRMED?

[punchhazard]

[maybemoss]

cleverbot disclaimers are like poetry. to me.

[that-one-tired-tiefling]

An era has ended.

I went to Cleverbot after a long break to just write some nonsense with AI. I got nostalgic so I asked it 'What happened to him?', expecting the usual 'He drowned'. But then...

I guess creepypastas are more dead than I thought.

[yayforocs]

Ohhhhhhhhhh My God okokok i'm going to be unpacking a lot here and i'm. oh my goodness i'm so excited there's stuff here i FORGOT about!!!!!! never posted anywhere would have been lost forever if i hadn't saved it on this flash drive!!!!!

october 2012 :V

i opened up a requests thread on the craftedmovie forums, and lookin back it looks like i only ever posted one of them, wack

so here's the rest!

we've got a gamzee makara! we've got 'a brown haired girl (brown eyes may have also been specified? i don't quite remember but i'm p sure brown haired girl was) standing next to fluttershy'! who i actually, since no other specifics on the girl were given, drew to be the protag from the animation Crayon Dragon! and then the third one is the requester, trixomaniac, sitting on a rainbow :VV

november 2012!

we've got more requests!

first one was i don't remember if it was just 'chicken man' or actually the requester's (gafloff was the name) skin but the request was for the person to be holding a butter sword standing over a zombie piglin or something along those lines :V i had no context of skydoesminecraft so i remember being very confused like. why a sword made out of butter XD

and then the second is shadowflare86, holding a gun pointing at the viewer :V whiCH! i had no idea how to draw so i did my best to imitate a pose from this wonderful animation called Serenade to Miette

...looking at this now tho i think it just looks like it could be a fantastic reaction image klshdg

speaking of

on to the next folder! here we skip december, then looks like i've posted everything in january, then there's no february folder, so on to march 2013!

starting out strong with this one lskdfjs

so i did actually post like the big middle drawing there, but it was posted before i colored, and also before i drew the other stuff on the page, but yes cue the homestuck art >:J starting with some runawaystuck fanart (and actually i know i added in a little jade and karkat to that page at some point, not sure if i scanned it again later after i added them or not)

copied the talksprites for funsies :V rip jade ig

ohohohoho i don't even remember what the context for this one was but i do definitely remember that i had fun with it X)

OH RIGHT THIS ONE YES IT'S NOT HOMESTUCK BUT!!

FAIRY QUEEN LADY!! THE ORIGINAL DRAWING OF HER!! she was based on a Really Funky Graph i made one time messing around with inputs:

i had a sliding phone so that's unfortunately as good a picture as it's gonna get bc i don't think i can recreate it 😅

april 2012!

and i had a lot of fun with this gijinka :V

GOD SS PAINT!!!! i think i never posted this bc i was worried it looked too much like he was choking her skdlfj

next up is august 2013 :V

ib time ib time

i doodled an au where garry was also a kid :V i think we (mogi and i) also joked around about like. a teenager au? they're both teens? i don't think any doodles came of it tho

october 2013, featuring doodles i know i drew in july bc i remember drawing them sldkfjds oh well

these are a bunch of random ocs i came up with as like. a. ok it's not like a homestuck au bc it doesn't involve any of the comic characters in any way but this was a group of ocs i came up with that played through their own version of sburb and. everyone died but one person. i never came up with names or anything for any of them, it's literally like just what is there visible on the paper is all i had for them 😅 i'm p sure i redrew these guys a few years later, but i don't think i ever scanned it.

-ah i cannot upload any more, let me. multi-part this.

Evolution

Remember how in 2005, people used to fuck around with a little chatbot called Cleverbot? Her responses were wooden, her tonal awareness was all over the map; she was easy to turn into an abusive shithead or to coax into agreeing with points of view that you couldn't realistically defend; and she notably couldn't handle a convo with another robot.

Now, we've got AI renditions of Werner Herzog and Slavoj Zizek going on endless tirades about the meaning of aesthetics and the underpinnings of their work in the empty void of a permanent exhibition space online, called The Infinite Conversation. While the semantics always break down if you really pay attention; things make sense on a sentence-per-sentence basis, and you see both AIs politely arguing and defending opposing viewpoints.

It used to be the best text-to-speech generator was what you heard on Emergency Alert System drills, and now we've got games like The Finals, that outsource the vocal underpinnings of their rapidly-changing game structure to AI, to avoid having to constantly re-hire the same voice actors to provide color commentary for game modes that might not exist six months down the line.

The kicker is their responses are eerily lifelike, with pauses, chuckles, scoffs, changes in emphasis that fit with events in a given match - and there's none of the choppiness you'd associate to text-to-speech à la Microsoft Sam.

I'm not condoning the practice, mind you; I'm just amazed that we've reached a point where, if you want, you can have a pair of RTX 4090 cards momentarily think like they're a peppy British-Korean lady and a snarky American man plastering fake cheer over live fire-enabled spectator sports set in the Distant Spacefuture.
