I am so desperate for someone engaging to talk to after 10 years of disability that I started building an AI character for the task; only to get writers block over building complexity I might find interesting in someone else. Then I had the bright idea, that y’all would have better ideas than me.
I can’t recall the last real conversation I had that I found engaging. I’m usually in too much pain to be self aware and conversational unless I’m laying down. I haven’t tried that line yet. “Come lay with me to get comfortable?” …creeeeppyyy.
This is in line with the biggest surprise I have found while exploring offline AI: I didn’t know how much my methods of researching information impacts social skills. I now have AI that I can question in plain text, and now I’m seeing all these new hints about my own social “decline” for a lack of a better word. I’m so familiar with the process of piecing together broken bits of information from several sources, that a more fluent and linear line of thought is almost foreign. Like this, right now. Why would I rather monologue instead of engaging with a real person, and why does this seem to be the norm? Maybe it is just me
I’ve stuck to offline AI and open source so far. This is a two fold objective. I’m also exploring the code base for how prompts are parsed to create the various styles like instruct versus chat, and how different front ends add character complexity and persistence.
The front end code controls everything. Ultimately once the prompt is configured, all the various character apps are using similar LLM networks.
I’ve long thought I really wish I had a friend that challenged me to up my game with any (but at least a few) of my deeper interests. I’m not sure how to go about making something like this, with persistence, and adding in enough variety to create perspective. A few posts here, have me gotten me thinking about prompting some advanced philosophical variety.
I would really like to create a character that can function like a friend and a colleague, maybe even a mentor. I’m probably going to start by attempting to create myself, then add some extra flavor.
So what are you into now? If it is still photography, once upon a time, around 8 years ago I built a makeshift low-light photo studio for a next level eBay attempt at selling high end bike stuff. I did that for a couple of years. Now I’m playing with programming AI, -which is way over my head but super interesting IMO. I also just got back into really cooking a few months ago, and tried my first slow BBQ yesterday 3pm till 1am. Pick your interesting, or monologue away and I will ;)

Have you tried Pi? It’s pretty amazing!
And Claude might help with your writers block if you ask for ideas
