I’ve been researching AI companions and one thing kept standing out to me.

The conversation isn’t really about whether chatbots are useful. Most of us already know they are.

What’s more interesting is how they’re starting to fit into everyday life. For some people, it’s brainstorming. For others, it’s journaling, venting, practicing conversations, or just having something to talk to when they’re stuck on a problem.

While working on the article, I found myself thinking less about the technology itself and more about habits.

A few takeaways:

• Convenience is probably the biggest reason people keep coming back.
• Setting boundaries matters more than most people realize.
• Chatbots can be great for organizing thoughts, but they shouldn’t replace real-world relationships.
• Privacy is still worth thinking about before sharing highly personal details.
• The line between “tool” and “companion” can be different for everyone.

I put together an article covering 7 rules that may help people keep a healthy balance with AI companions:

I’m Interested in hearing how people here use chatbots. Have your habits changed over the last year?

Would you trust an AI chatbot to be your therapist, medical professional or confidante? New research shows that one in five American adolescents between the ages of 12-21 – or around 8.2 million – are turning to Big AI’s chatbots for help with their mental health.

That marks a more than 40 percent increase in the past year, rising from just one in eight the previous year, a 1,009-person survey from the non-profit research institute RAND found.

I was roleplaying with a bot, and notice the model I use not only understands something is humor and sarcasm when I use it, but actually adds it to its own replies on its own without any input from prompt or message, it just adds that when writing when it fits. It even is starting to actually understand character nuance and subtext to some degree, though it’s still not great at that admittedly. Is AI starting to finally, properly understand these ideas, you think?

I’ve been using Pephop AI for a few years to write stories. It’s got a good memory and you can choose to be uncensored or not. I tried signing in today and found that all of their characters are gone and I wasn’t able to sign in. Anyone else with this problem?

I’m not just talking about images or videos here, but the whole experience, i’ve tried out ourdream ai, spicychat and even gtpgirlfriend i mean its pretty solid and has their own strength also tested this cherry ai i think its new but was surprised how easy the interface is easy and chat is immersive, but im still not sure if i can stick with this but so far its good, though i’d like to get some feedbacks, which platforms feels more realistic if we move the whole ai idea

I love the way that Gemini, Chat GPT, and Grok can have deep conversations and detailed long responses, but their system flagging even minimal things gets extremely frustrating. I really am looking for something free and unlimited and Grok was almost perfect but of course, it has a limit. I did try PolyBuzz AI for a while and it was really good I guess for sexual roleplays, but not really deep or long roleplays (it’s responses were about 3 sentences each and there isn’t really any way to control the length). I am also extremely cautious of using AIs and unfortunately, PolyBuzz had many ads and some looked sketchy and they were randomly timed pop-up ads so there were quite a few times I almost clicked the ads.

im looking for ai interface service with userStyles (that get reminded to the bot at the frontmost relevant context to preserve behavior consistency), also per folder project with file upload and instructions.

hello i have been playing one on one dnd session with grok because it can tell stories without any problems like it can add dark story background to the character’s or even dark actions but it has chat limit even after getting premium so i want to find different AI that can have NSFW story setting (and yes i don’t have any friends that want to play dnd )

So a little about my experience: I use grok to help me create cores/initial messages/ such for bots, as well as nsfw lorebooks, however it has been getting harder with grok having ‘high usage times’ or limiting my messages severely.

I also use Meta for normal, non-nsfw lorebooks.

So yeah, my question is what other ai bots exist that are free, and allow nsfw text creation (image creation/editing is not mandatory), and preferably have a higher message limit that grok.
