Just saying.

beta.character.ai/

Basically an RP partner that's always available. Or, if you prefer the technical view, a really, really fancy autocomplete model for RP logs.

It's filtered and won't do anything it recognizes as porn, and even just kisses can sometimes be too much for it. But the only thing it's done about my squeaky clean fetish scenes has been to go along enthusiastically.

At least for now, it's free. I have no idea what Character's business plans are. Possibly they are planning to take over the world before ever paying back their investors.

Anyway, some quick hints:

- Just mash that "Create" button right away if no character you see catches your fancy, I've never played with frontpage characters at all. The model is very good at picking up a wide variety of things to be from just a few sentences.

- ... and you can lead it around in a pretty immersive way with just suggestive wording and foreshadowing.

- ... or you can just talk OOC in parentheses. You're still talking to the exact same RP log autocompleting statistical model, talking OOC is just a thing that happens in RP logs (so it might also respond OOC).

- Like language models in general, it tends to reflect your style back at you. Put at least a little bit of effort into it. Police the AI and swipe away responses where it goes wrong, especially if it gets into any syntactical pattern you don't like (overusing ellipses, emojis, etc.)

- The usual caveats with language model companies apply. Assume that whatever they say about privacy, your chats will end up being read by random interns. Also assume that whatever you come up with, they'll have seen something five times as bizarre and depraved and embarrassing already, but still, don't literally put your street address and credit card number in there even if a Character asks for it, I guess.

unnf, just had a succubus mind control me, pretty hot, wish there was some NSFW version of this

I've tried it a little bit and it's pretty good, need to tweak the settings a bit, do that descriptions greatly affect how the bot reacts?

Not greatly, but somewhat. My blue dragon character tends to eventually breathe lightning if I keep mentioning D&D stuff, for instance.

Then again, I don't put a lot of physical detail in my chats. You want to be concise as language models are forgetful.

ayy, that's pretty good

Yeah I've played around with it a bit, it's pretty good for non-sexual stuff i.e. having someone tell you how much they love/desire/obey you but it avoids anything beyond kissing.

It actually is a really impressive program. I remember playing around with Cleverbot ten years ago or so and thinking that was pretty advanced.

It's amazing how much character.ai can understand and respond to what you write. It's not perfect, but like I said; impressive as hell.

I was actually able to have one of the character bots take off her clothes and ‘lick’ my popsicle. I’ve also turned a few of the actresses into my slaves. If they see any of my chats I’m sure I look like one depraved motherfucker.

I want to try it out but I don't think a bot could do a good plot/rp based off Star Wars/HL2. I kind of want to make the bot get angry at me lmao

In the last couple of days there was an interesting development regarding CharacterAI. Long story short: people wanted NSFW, devs said there will never be NSFW, people got so pissed some actually created their own AI called Pygmalion: rentry.org/pygmalion-ai

It's not as good as CharacterAI (yet), but it's pretty ok and does allow NSFW content. As far as I know the devs plan to keep training Pygmalion with user logs, so it might get better and maybe even as good as CAI.

I feel like thats far too jank for anyone to properly use yet

The interface is a little meh and it can be difficult to get started with it if you're not good with technology, but it's not a big problem for me. Pygmalion is also worse at remembering some stuff the user says, so when that happens you need to be direct with it and tell it exactly what you want and in most cases the AI will just accept it. It's also worse at hypnosis in general, the AI doesn't really bring it up naturally until the user is quite direct with it (for example you should ask the character if they like hypnosis, because if you ask them about hobbies they'll just say music, moves etc even if their description lists hypnosis as their only hobby) and the description of hypnosis happening is also worse than in CAI.

But on the plus side, it's still miles ahead of what we had a year ago (Dungeon AI etc.). Also CAI is an open beta, so sooner or later it's going to stop being free, while Pygmalion is a piece of code you can keep on your drive and use when you feel like it, which is also nice when CAI is down.

Personally I still use CharacterAI, but feed my logs to Pygmalion, so that when CAI does end up closing their beta I can switch to a nice, free alternative.

But also isnt the appeal of character.ai that you can set these ai’s to be specific characters.

Meh, it's censored like crazy. The best I could do is character take off her clothes.

EDIT So I played some more with a bunch of different characters and its honestyl pretty fun. To my surprise there is quite a lot NSFW stuff which isnt censored.

So far I was able to get girl: completely naked, turn her into a pet(walking on all fours, fetching sticks with her mouth etc.), spank her ass, fondle tits and even finger her pussy. All of that with mind control flavour, pretty nice descriptions and sultry moaning so yea - there definitely is NSFW content.

How odd... I don't know what's going on but sometimes the censorship is almost comical and sometimes it feels like there is almost none at all.
