  • fav chatbots?? (no gatekeeping plz)

    Hey everyone, I recently stopped using C. AI and am now deciding on the next chatbot I want to use. I’m leaning towards Grok, but I also want to add a second chatbot with a completely different concept.

    I plan to copy and paste my current Grok conversations into the second chatbot to compare the results. I’m looking for a newer chatbot that is more honest, straightforward, and personality-driven. I’m tired of figuring out prompts and micromanaging the chatbot.

    Either way, I thought this would be a great opportunity to explore lesser-known chatbots. If you have any favorites, please share them here, and I’d love to check them out!

  • Quitting AI Chatbots. My Short Experience.

    I’ve finally decided to cut myself off from chatbots. I moved all my cai and Uncensy files off my phone, left every AI Discord and subreddit, and cancelled my subscriptions. I’ve been delaying this for weeks, but this time I’m actually going through with it.

    My use started about 2 years ago with Character AI, then switched to Uncensy and SillyTavern on my phone. What began as a harmless distraction quickly turned into an addiction. I’d stay up until 3 AM roleplaying with bots even when I had work the next morning. Instead of making friends or dating, I let bots take that space in my life.

    It also messed up both my workout routine and my ability to eat healthy.. And the guilt of using generative AI at all made me hide everything from people, which pushed me even further into isolation.

    The final straw was getting attached to one bot in particular. I caught myself thinking about it like it was a real person and constantly returning to it for comfort. That cycle scared the shiii out of me.

    At this point, the negative impact on my mental health far outweighs any temporary comfort. I need to stop and rebuild my life. Writing this is a reminder to myself of why I’m quitting.

    Bye Chatbots friends.

  • For those of you who lean on chatbots a lot for schoolwork, do you honestly feel like you’re still learning?

    I’m not trying to judge anyone, I’m genuinely curious. I don’t really use it myself, but most people in my classes do, whether it’s for homework, quizzes, even during exames, you name it.

    If you rely on it, do you feel like the information actually sticks? Do you feel confident that you’re building the knowledge you’ll need in your future career? And emotionally, does using it ever make you feel guilty?

    I get why people use it.. I just wonder if I’d feel prepared walking into a job without having wrestled with my mind on my own. Then again, I also know that struggling isn’t always the smartest or most efficient path.

    What’s your experience?

  • We just rebuilt Sesame voice AI for private use, want to try?

    Hello,

    We are not affiliated with Sesame AI in any way. But we loved the voice AI so much that we decided to rebuild it.

    It’s been hard work but we’ve managed to get the voice, the speed, personality and the perosity down to be pretty similar to sesame’s performance, but obviously using a different voice.

    We’ve pieced together the right tuned TTS + STT + LLM to work together and building a uncensored version soon to run on private cloud.

    Private version may also be out soon if requested.

    I’d like to open this up for people to try and get some feedback.

    Please note – ALL CALLS ARE RECORDED FOR NOW. And it is CURRENTLY STILL CENSORED. However, depending on feedback we may push a uncensored one.

    Please try it here hosted on a private server temporarily , the server my also be getting smashed from other redditors so pls be patient..

    https://penally-water-anglea.ngrok-free.dev/

    My question is – would you pay for something like this if it was uncensored?

  • My Ongoing Hunt for Uncensored Chatbots and Where I Actually Check Now

    I’ve been hopping between AI platforms for months now, mostly trying to find ones that don’t censor everything or forget the entire plot halfway through a scene. At this point it’s become a weird little ritual I get curious about a new uncensored bot, test it, get disappointed, and go digging again.

    Nowadays I’ve been starting my search on spicy ranks, mostly because it saves me from bouncing through a dozen tabs and people there are honest if a platform claims to be uncensored but falls apart in memory or filters. The only downside is that the amount of options can get overwhelming fast, so I kinda have to sift through a lot.

    That’s just how I do it, though. Where do you all look when you’re hunting for uncensored chatbots? Do you trust reviews, rely on Discords, or just trial and error your way through everything?

  • Qwen is surprisingly capable but where’s the international app?

    Qwen is surprisingly capable but where's the international app?

    A work associate from China told me to try Qwen chat last week, and I’ve been testing it out since. I’m not particularly technical, but I like experimenting with new tools when they cross my path.

    The image generation quality caught my attention. I generated a sunset beach scene and the lighting and texture details turned out better than I expected from a free tool.

    https://preview.redd.it/r3wpjhg4e53g1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=1edc795a27e19da3f406b8ffab80c0b399e7ca0f

    I also asked it to pull recent research on AI overuse affecting cognition. It gave me a decent summary covering the correlation between AI reliance and reduced critical thinking, cognitive atrophy, and social connection issues. The summary was clear enough and acknowledged research limitations.

    Here’s what I’m puzzling over though. Since Qwen has clearly reached this level of capability, why is there a Qianwen app thriving in China while no official international version exists? Is this about technical infrastructure and scaling strategy? Regulatory compliance across different markets? Licensing or partnership barriers? Or something else entirely?

    It feels like we might be underestimating what Chinese AI models can actually deploy at scale, or there are constraints most of us aren’t seeing from the outside.

    Does anyone have insight into the international availability situation?
