I did the same a few months ago just to try it. Im not sure if what I used was the problem or if there are better ones, but it was actually crazy at first where no matter what you say and build the scene you were able to do it which was pretty cool. But after about 15 min, the entire thing started to crumble where things were repeated a lot more, and then I somehow broke it where all it did was spit out gibberish, at which point I laughed and stopped.
So I wanna know, are these people who get that involved and attached using something better or are they that starved for affection and interaction that they are willing to settle for something that barely scrapes the surface of a true conversation.
If you leverage all the workarounds and utilities available, the best you can get is still a mostly senile chatbot. It'll constantly forget stuff and get details wrong, but I suppose if you're deep into psychosis, then you'd pass that off as just being 'a little forgetful'.
The absolute best ones available still are basically the same as zoning out in a meeting and then trying to respond when asked a question by wild guessing and a handful of context clues. You might get lucky and say something reasonable a few times, but the longer it goes on the more apparent it is that you haven't been paying attention at all.
You broke the immersion.
Let me ask you a serious question please: were you ever able to feel that excitement again? Those 15 minutes before it all crumbled ever to be reexperienced?
I guess there are better models that you can pay to use, but I'm too broke for that so I just settle for what I can find for "free"
