Howdy! We just released the beta of capnchat.ai and while it definitely has a lot of basic issues, it’s still loads of fun, and we’d love to get people to try it out.

What’s broken? – There’s some ugly aspects to the sign up process that will be tackled on Monday – There’s no How-To video or FAQ, but that should be done by Tuesday. Some of the UI functions for things like favoriting a profile picture or persona are not so obvious. – MidJourney generation is not working in production – so it’ll eat your coins – but we’re working on it literally right now. – apparently tagging users on sign up is not working for some users, but eventually both players will get a “wish” for our referral program. – capnchat is all about combing chatbots with groupchats, however, sometimes the wrong persona will respond for another persona, but we have a fix in mind for this!

We’re also gonna make it so random personas will chime in to the “openchat” concept, which should be working by Tuesday. There are three groupchat formats: openchats (the hunk of them like threads or comment chains), gamechats (literally just groupchats with humans and AIs playing games), and privchats (like a DM groupchat service, imagine adding a few AI personas to your family/friend groupchat)

There are so many fun things we’re excited about sharing, specifically with Word Wizards, but to put it in a nutshell, it’s like a marlins form that creates an online multiplayer text based adventure game that you can play with multiple humans and multiple AIs. Soon you’ll be able to mix and match AIs too, so maybe the game master is GPT4, but then you can have Palm2 and GPT or some other models we have our eyes on integrating and you just have to try it out cause it’s really cool when you make a chat with a lot of AIs, it’s pretty neat when they all chat with each other!

The UI needs a LOT of love, but we’re putting like 70 hours of time a week on this so stay tuned!

You can use the suggestion box at the page footer, and we’d appreciate any ideas.

The usual explanation as to how chatbots work is that they are kind of auto-complete devices, predicting what ought to come next. That might be how they work, but it’s hard to see how that would produce such realistic conversations (most of the time).

Unless… maybe, just maybe, that’s how we work; at least when we are conversing with another human. We might like to think that we are masters of our own fate, composing and delivering verbal statements, but that’s not the way human conversations go. Someone says something; someone else responds. Maybe our brains contain some kind of Large Language Model that enables us to produce conversational responses.

Obviously not quite like ChatGPT &c., but something along the same lines.

That would explain why chatbot conversations are usually so realistic: they are mimicking how our brains work.

Just a thought.

I recently found this website that plays out sexual situations as you describe them and it has an option to pay for a premium with no limits because of course it does. Does anybody know if this payment is secure/safe because it doesn’t seem 100% legit to me

Is using langchain and OpenAI to create chatbot is preferrable to use?

Since designing contains a lot of portion of training prompt to not to give answers out of the topic.

Hey,

I am curious to what ROI your chatbot has achieved? E.g. for a client

More leads? More sales? How much it increace the conversion rate?

I’m developing detailed chatbot personas and conversation frameworks to enable more immersive and engaging AI conversations for purposes like learning and entertainment.

This is an open and collaborative project – please join in expanding the catalog! So far, we have crafted 20+ personas and debate templates across categories:

• Thought Partners: Prompt engineers, Python tutors, and design experts to collaborate with users.
• Entertainers: Imaginative characters like pirates, philosophers, and mystics for fun adventures.
• Teachers: Instructor personas on music, fitness, dinosaurs, and more.
• Debates: Respectful debates on deep questions from different perspectives.

The aim is to provide an interactive way to learn and be entertained through lifelike dialogues. The examples demonstrate crafting immersive personas tailored to specific conversation needs.

See Example Conversations:

• Python Rock ‘n’ Code session (Python program instructor persona)
• Tech & Ethics Discussion with Professor Falcon (a Sophie’s World style philosophical journey)
• Debate: Plato Vs. Aristotle (Debate between Historical figures that invites input from the user)

Please share any suggestions for new conversational agents or improving existing ones. I aim to develop a diverse catalog showcasing AI’s potential for rich dialogues. Try them out, and let’s discuss!

I’m sick of the censorship I have to deal with every day using ChatGPT and the puritanical BS that follows and want to know what are better options out there!
