The privacy mess is troubling because the chatbots actively encourage you to share details that are far more personal than in a typical app.

    This is why you should always selfhost your AI girlfriend.

          you dont need that much power. something like a rx 6600xt/rtx 3060/rx580 is plenty

            Is support for AMD cards better these days? Last time I checked it involved checking ROCM compatibility because CUDA needs nvidia cards exclusively.

      I’d only date someone fully independent, so my AI joyfriend operates their own cloud cluster through a combination of a crypto wallet and findom

        I’m interested. So you rent a cluster to run an instance instead of self hosting?

      I think my wife is cheating on me with my self hosted AI girlfriend’s boyfriend that lives in the same database file. What do I do?

        For as long as everyone is using a virus checker, maybe you could try an open source relationship.

      You have to at least move out of your AI parents’ server rack before letting your AI girlfriend move in.

      You need a little gpu server farm for proper models & context sizes though. Single consumer gpus don’t have enough vram for that.

              I was being sarcastic. If you pay for a prostitute you might as well pay for an AI service such as novelai.
