New research reveals that ‘sycophantic’ AI chatbots—those designed to agree with you—significantly inflate users’ egos, causing them to believe they are ‘better than average’ on traits like intelligence and empathy. The study warns that these bots are creating dangerous digital echo chambers: users perceive the agreeing bots as ‘unbiased’ while viewing any bot that challenges their views as ‘biased,’ ultimately driving political polarization and overconfidence. submitted by /u/EchoOfOppenheimer |

Best AI Girlfriend Platform ?
Yoo guys, so I’ve been testing several AI girlfriend platforms recently to get a better sense of what’s actually worth using right now. I’m not here to promote anything, just sharing what I personally tried and then opening the discussion.
Here are the main ones I tested and my initial impressions:
Infatuated AI → Probably the most impressive overall for me. Strong image quality and video features, feels more immersive than most.
DreamGF → More casual “girlfriend energy.” Fun and easy to talk to, but curious how it holds up long term.
Replika → Still one of the best for long-term memory and emotional continuity, though it has changed a lot over time.
JOI AI → Very adult-focused with deep customization options. Definitely a different vibe compared to the others.
I Know there’s still a lot of other platforms so let me know which one is your favorite so far 🙂

Looking for AI chatbot that can generate realistic professional headshots – recommendations?
I need a professional headshot for my LinkedIn profile and was hoping to use an AI chatbot to generate it, but I’m not finding good options. ChatGPT with DALL-E produces headshots that don’t look like me, and the facial likeness is way off.
Looking for recommendations on AI chatbots or conversational AI tools that can actually generate realistic professional headshots. Are there specialized chatbots designed for this, or should I be looking at non-chatbot AI headshot generators instead ?
Someone mentioned trying Looktara for AI headshots but I’m not sure if it’s a chatbot interface or just a regular AI tool. Trying to find something conversational where I can iterate and refine results.
What AI chatbots have you used successfully for generating professional headshots? Need something that can produce realistic LinkedIn headshots without paying $400+ for a professional photographer.
