hot take maybe, but my opinion of you automatically dives if the first reaction you have to a cool character is to ask if there’s a c.ai bot of them. write shitty fanfic like the rest of us, or just maladaptive daydream if you must. find a community and rp online!! we’re losing important social and writing skills to a tech product controlled by and overseen by the slimiest, most exploitative billionaires silicon valley has seen in a generation and we’re doing it willingly???
like sorry, but in THIS socio-political climate? it is inconceivable to me to ever build a mental dependency on a PRODUCT built by, and controlled by the ultra-1% to systematically exploit and make obsolete entire industries of jobs. imagine the sheer embarrassment of chatgpt going down and suddenly being stranded, left to your own devices and finding them painfully painfully lacking.
