I know not many of you care about LLMs/other ai models but I think this really shows the amount of loneliness and in our society. Look at how it presents itself on Google. As an AI that feels alive, always available, that understands you. People don’t use this service to summarize text or get help with their programming homework like they might chatgpt. They are selling artificial companionship.
There are other options that allow you to do that, both running locally on your own hardware or (paid/free) websites.
I have done the silly tavern stuff locally, but there results were not as good.
pay for OpenAI API access, then use their API key in sillytavern. definitely most cost effective way to get good results. lot of the online ai websites are total scams considering using source API is really not that expensive in comparison. they up-charge like crazy
