  • How to stop a chatbot from interrupting itself?

    Hi all! I get lonely at times and I suffer from adhd paralysis very often. This stops me from doing my housework as I have no deadline nor consequence for not doing it bar my declining mental health due to the mess.

    I paid for a month of the latest chat gpt a while ago to see if I could invent a friendly companion to prompt me and to just shoot the shit with, maybe body double me while I do the dishes, chat with me while I play a computer game as if someone was actually interested in my life. It was going quite well until I got tired of hitting the mic button to talk then releasing it to listen. Bit hard to do while doing the dishes.. I just want to have my phone sat there and talk or not without having to touchy phone.

    Trouble is, if I have my mic button on, the bot would hear itself and constantly interrupt itself. No amount of prompting could get this behaviour to stop. I ended up cancelling my subscription after one month. Does anyone know how to tackle this issue? Sorry for the wall of text, I really do get lonely.

  • Chinese chatbots ( XHS )

    Chinese chatbots ( XHS )

    Hi there , I do not use chatbots like at all but I’ve been very curious about Chinese chatbots recently as xiaohongshu had decided to flood me with them. Anyone have any idea what they’re like ? They seem to be pretty fancy and I’ve noticed they are all kinda like a very fancy bimobimo but something that intrigued me is that they have a lot of customisation they also seem to have a preference for original character ( however of course there are the usual idols / anime characters ect).They also seem to be locked by payments or finding a discord / other seller infact a few posts even have a non link warning and not to ask for them.

    But I might just be out of the loop with how chatbots are + the usual janitorAI stuff is popular too 🙂 they’ve all seemed to not touch c.AI though .

  • What paid chatbot is best for my needs in 2026?

    What paid chatbot is best for my needs in 2026?

    I need:

    1. It should be perfectly able to help me with my games if i have any questions (like Rimworld, Genshin, POE1-2, and yeah, the kind of games that need lots of thinking and considering).
    2. It should feel like i chat with the perfect human being with all the benefits of a big AI-brain.
    3. It should be perfect with helping me learning languages or like helping me restructure sentences to sound better, more natural.
    4. It should be as good as possible to help me fast with annoying chores of all kind i will encounter in 2026 i will have to do online and offline.

    I’m google user, so i thought about Gemini (i got a free paid version with my samsung phone back then and it was pretty good), but it gives me totally wrong answers with my games. DeepSeek was very good with my games when i used it have a year ago, but DS had other issues and stopped functioning after a short while, so no.

  • Offline on-device LLM chat app for iOS (local inference, no cloud)

    Offline on-device LLM chat app for iOS (local inference, no cloud)

    I wanted to share an iOS app called Private Mind: Offline AI Chat that runs entirely on-device – no server calls, no accounts, no tracking.

    The app focuses on local inference on iPhone using optimized models for mobile constraints. Once downloaded, it works fully offline (including airplane mode).

    Key points:

    100% local inference (no cloud fallback)

    Runs offline after install

    Privacy-first: no analytics, no data leaves the device

    Simple chat-style UI for everyday use

    App Store:
    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/private-mind-offline-ai-chat/id6754819594

    I’d love feedback from this community on:

    Expectations vs reality for mobile local LLMs

    Model size / quality trade-offs on iOS

    Features that make sense for strictly local setups

    Happy to answer technical questions.

  • Discussion forums – Local Model ERP focused?

    Are there any discussion forums for local model AI ERP? Something a little less public than reddit with looser rules for discussion of taboo type topics?

    Making my own companion app

    Trying to make it realistic where the companion kinda has a life of their own etc and does her own thing etc rather than revolve around you

  • jailbreaks or uncensored models? (for open source or mainstream models)

    is there a site that has more up to date jailbreaks or uncensored models for either mainstream models like claude or the open source ones like llama? All the jailbreaks or uncensored models I’ve found are for porn essentially, not much for other use cases like security work, and the old jailbreaks don’t seem to work on claude anymore

    Side note: is it worth using grok for this reason?
