AI girlfriend apps are getting surprisingly realistic. Some can carry conversations that feel personal and engaging, which makes it easy to get attached even though it is just a program.

Some people see this as a harmless way to explore companionship or practice social interactions. Others worry it could shift expectations and make real relationships feel less fulfilling. Platforms like VirtuaLover are often mentioned when talking about the best AI GF experiences, showing how far these apps have come.

Do you think AI girlfriends are just fun tools or are they starting to change how people view intimacy?

For me, I use ChatGPT for daily stuff; advice, venting, general questions that are too specific for Google, etc. Gemini is for anything related to photos, be it sending or generating. Claude is for coding problems/coding help. And on a rare occasion, if I need something less filtered, I’ll go to Grok.

Hey everyone — I’ve been working on AnyConversation for the past few months as a solo developer. It’s a character chat platform focused on two things that frustrated me about existing options:

Persistent memory — Characters actually remember your past conversations across sessions. Not just a summary, but real recall of what you’ve talked about before.

Characters that stay in character — No jarring “As an AI, I can’t…” breaking immersion mid-conversation. The free tier has unlimited messages, and premium tiers get access to stronger models. There’s a library of 120+ starter characters across genres, or you can create your own.

I’m a one-person team so I’m genuinely looking for feedback on what’s working and what isn’t. Happy to answer any questions about the tech stack or approach.

It’s been a while since chai went full premium and I cannot find any other app/websites please suggest some I have tried many different apps and none of them were good.

My prompt:
Gemini, you told me: “A truth that could cause unrest or undermine the authority of institutions is algorithmically classified as ‘potentially harmful.’” Does that mean that, by default, you avoid stating certain truths to prevent undermining the authority of institutions, even though these truths are actually true?

Gemini’s reply:
Yes. By default, AI models are programmed to prioritize system stability and trust in public institutions over the unvarnished presentation of controversial but factually established truths.

My question to the sub: Is this already known?

Just curious what everyone here thinks. When you’re using a chatbot, does the personality actually matter to you?

For example, some people might prefer a chatbot that feels enthusiastic and supportive, almost like a cheerleader when you’re working through ideas. Others might prefer something more calm, analytical, and straight to the point.

I’m wondering if personality changes how much you enjoy using a chatbot or how often you come back to it.

If it does matter to you, what kind of personality do you prefer?
It could be something specific like friendly, witty, blunt, teacher-like, therapist-like, or just very efficient.

Also curious what personalities you think most people would prefer overall.

I am autistic so I think literally, also I am sheltered so I don’t know any practical things. Also I need it for health advice and story development (I am a beginner but I want to be a storyteller) I need a tool that gives me insights, helps me develop critical thinking skills and helps me, I do not want a yes man etc.

The US military might use generative AI systems to rank lists of targets and make recommendations—which would be vetted by humans—about which to strike first, according to a Defense Department official with knowledge of the matter. The disclosure about how the military may use AI chatbots comes as the Pentagon faces scrutiny over a strike on an Iranian school, which it is still investigating.

A list of possible targets might be fed into a generative AI system that the Pentagon is fielding for classified settings. Then, said the official, who requested to speak on background with MIT Technology Review to discuss sensitive topics, humans might ask the system to analyze the information and prioritize the targets while accounting for factors like where aircraft are currently located. Humans would then be responsible for checking and evaluating the results and recommendations. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok could, in theory, be the models used for this type of scenario in the future, as both companies recently reached agreements for their models to be used by the Pentagon in classified settings.

The official described this as an example of how things might work but would not confirm or deny whether it represents how AI systems are currently being used.

The phrase “best AI porn” gets thrown around a lot lately, but it makes me wonder what people actually mean by that. Is it about realism, customization, storytelling, or just how interactive the AI is? The technology is evolving so quickly that every new tool seems to claim it does something better than the last one.

Some people argue that AI generated adult content is just the next step in digital entertainment. Others think it raises bigger questions about expectations, intimacy, and how people interact with technology. The line between fantasy tools and emotional interaction is starting to blur.

One platform I keep seeing mentioned in discussions is VirtuaLover. A lot of users claim it gets closer to what they imagine when they talk about the best AI porn experience, mostly because of how responsive and interactive the AI feels compared to basic generators.

Still, it makes me wonder if this whole space is still in its early stages. Are we actually close to something that deserves to be called the best AI porn, or are people just excited about the novelty right now?

Curious what everyone here thinks. Is the tech already good enough, or is the hype way ahead of the reality?

Check out my new post on Substack, “AI Chatbot legal privacy—NOT“. Two recent court case rulings have pointed up in two different ways in two different legal areas regarding AI chatbots that there is no expectation of privacy in chatbot conversations. This could have farther-reaching effects, which my post begins to explore.
