I wanna have an Ai on my PC like most streamers have talk to them on my mic but I want the AI that I will get to be the most unhinged and uncensored AI ever (swearing saying funny messed up things etc etc), so which one do I get?

I’ve tried a few different chatbots, and I’ve noticed that there’s a big difference between a bot that simply gives good responses and one that feels like it actually understands your ongoing context.
Memory seems like a big part of that, but I’m not convinced that simply storing more information is the answer.
For example, remembering your preferences, interests, or things you’ve talked about repeatedly could make conversations feel much more natural. But if the memory is inaccurate, too broad, or includes things you didn’t expect it to retain, it can have the opposite effect.
I’ve been looking at Abby recently, which puts a lot of emphasis on long-term conversational memory, and it got me wondering about what people actually expect from this kind of chatbot.
What makes a chatbot feel genuinely personalized to you? Is it memory, personality consistency, understanding context, proactive conversations, or something else?

A friend once did something for me in a game called Free Fire. I received around 2,000 likes everyday over a period of 15 days. What was interesting is that I only noticed one account visiting/inspecting my profile. The account looked like it was being used from a PC or computer, and it wasn’t from my region. I couldn’t add it as a friend, but somehow the likes kept coming in.

This was really useful because getting likes normally takes a long time. As far as I know, you usually get likes from other players after matches, and there are only so many people you can get them from.

I remember there was also a Telegram option where you could enter your Free Fire ID and receive around 200 likes automatically. That made me wonder:

Would it be technically possible to create a website where you enter your Free Fire ID, and then a bot or some type of automated system sends likes to your profile over time?

I’m curious about how something like this would work from a coding/technical perspective. Would it require bots, automated accounts, an emulator, or something else?

Has anyone worked on something similar or knows how these systems are usually made? I’m mainly interested in understanding how it works and whether it’s technically possible.

Also, if something like this is possible, would anyone be interested in working on a project like this together? I’d be interested in hearing ideas from people who know about coding, bots, or automation.

Same as title.

I’ve been thinking about where ChatGPT works well for personal reflection and where it starts to fall short.
It’s convenient to have something available whenever you want to organize your thoughts, think through a difficult decision, or look at a situation from another perspective. But there are also some obvious limitations.
Sometimes the conversation feels disconnected from previous discussions. You might have explained something important before, but later have to provide the same context again. There’s also the question of whether an AI should remember personal details at all.
I’ve been looking at Abby recently, which takes a more long-term approach to conversational memory, and it made me think about whether better memory actually solves the problem or just creates a different set of concerns.
For those who use chatbots for personal reflection, what’s the biggest limitation you’ve noticed? Is it memory, lack of context, generic responses, privacy, or something else?

Hi! My name is Yuqi Xiao. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Communication at the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University.

I am interested in how people build meaningful connections with generative AI chatbots. As part of my dissertation, I am conducting an interview study about the experiences of adults in the United States who have a close or meaningful connection with a specific generative AI chatbot. I also want to emphasize that I’m not approaching AI companionship as something inherently good or bad, and the project is not focused on sensationalizing these relationships or looking specifically for a “dark side.” I’m genuinely interested in understanding how people experience these relationships in their everyday lives, in their own terms.

I am looking to speak with adults who:

• Are 18 or older
• Currently live in the United States
• Have a close or meaningful connection with a specific generative AI chatbot. You might think of the chatbot as a friend, companion, partner, confidant, or something else entirely. The connection does not need to be romantic.

What participation involves:

• One individual online interview in English, approximately 45–60 minutes, primarily via Zoom
• Audio-only participation is completely fine
• You may skip any question, take a break, or stop at any time
• The interview will be audio-recorded only with your verbal permission; no video will be recorded
• A $25 thank-you payment once the interview ends through Tremendous.

Information shared during the interview will be handled confidentially. Additional information about the study, including privacy and confidentiality, will be provided before you decide whether to participate.

This is independent academic research conducted through Arizona State University. It is not affiliated with Reddit, r/Chatbots, or any chatbot company.

Interested? Please send me a Reddit DM at u/YuqiXiaoresearch. I will send you more information, and there is no obligation to participate.

This study has been reviewed by the Arizona State University Institutional Review Board (STUDY00024573). The study is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Joris Van Ouytsel ([joris.vanouytsel@asu.edu](mailto:joris.vanouytsel@asu.edu)), Associate Professor at the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University.

Your participation means a lot to me, looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey everyone. For 18 months, I’ve been working on something that started as an annoyance of mine: every AI character I set up would slowly drift. The personality got flatter, it forgot things, and eventually it just sounded like generic ChatGPT.

So I built Orion Forge. The main idea is to separate who the character is from what it has experienced:

Identity (values, behavior, boundaries) lives in a read-only memory store, so it can’t get overwritten by chat history

Experience gets its own memory store that grows as you talk

Each turn, the engine assembles both, plus knowledge notes and tools, into one clean system prompt

It runs in the browser, and you can use your own API keys or hosted models. There’s no subscription. New accounts get $2 in credits, and hosted models cost 2× the raw API price (BYOK is free).

It’s still early and I know there are rough edges. I’d really like feedback, especially on How to make it easiest to load and use quickly.

Happy to answer questions about how it works.

I’ve been looking more seriously at ai shopping assistants lately, and one thing I want to know WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A CUSTOMER TRUST THE RECOMMENDATION?

As a store owner, my first concern is not the recommendation itself. It’s whether the AI knows when to speak. Random popups and constant “need help?” messages can get annoying fast, and I’d rather not lose a shopper because the store won’t leave them alone.

I’ve been looking at how different shopping assistants handle recommendations, and the gap between them is bigger than I expected.

If anyone here has tested this on their own store, I’d love to hear.

Curious how people here build agents for a specific use case.

I keep landing on: better to compose the right pieces and routines for the job than to keep prompting a single general assistant harder.

If you assemble agents from modules / tools / workflows — what composition pattern actually held up? What turned into spaghetti?

Are there bots that are like realistic texting (e.g. messages throughout the day, even when unprompted)? If so, what are they called?
