Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases?

Currently paying for a chatbot program similar to character AI, but primarily marketed for sexual content. Started supporting it as a fun single-developer app and now I find it a pretty useful writing tool to bounce around with ideas.
I’m trialing writing and grammar apps because I have mild dyslexia, but haven’t found any paid apps that work much better than just chucking writing into ChatGPT and asking it to find the mistakes. The streamlined UI is the only benefit I’ve found so far. And one, I think called Pro Writing Aid, kept crashing my writing app, Scrivener, whenever I tried to use it.

What do you use the chatbot pogram to goon to?

I don’t. It was the first example I found where you could write a character to talk to. I had fun seeing how different personality traits changed their responses. At the time most AI was censored, so I was using it like a less powerful ChatGPT that could swear, sometimes with the personality of Hannibal Lector. And sometimes as William Howard Taft. Among others.
If you’ve read any amount of erotica you’ll know the sex scenes can be fairly boilerplate and repetitive, it’s the set-up that makes it interesting. For that reason I found the bots kinda boring for that purpose.
Plenty of people have fun using it as intended, though. Lotta incest bots on there.
The developer is a fairly active, positive guy who built up a nice community, so I like supporting him.

I feel ya. I have 300+ followers on cai and it sucks how such a revolutionary technology has been hijacked by gooners and grifters.

I wouldn’t equate gooners with grifters. I mean, has erotica highjacked literature? Porn highjacked film? Have dildos highjacked sex? My phone is a revolutionary piece of technology, and I can watch porn on it while connected via Bletooth to a programmable dildo.
I can use it to indulge in lectures by nobel prize winners while using that same dildo.
The need to get off is valid, human, and if it gets more people interested in technology, I’m all for it.
