I build a diy-sexy-chatbot in the past, that's also the way I advertised it more or less. And to my own surprise many people choose to use it in a non sexy way. I don't know what they talked about (obviously) but many choose neutral tags like 'honest' 'sweet' 'pessimistic' over all the kinky stuff I gave them.
Later I tried a similar approach advertising it less sexy and that didn't convert at all.
I think people actually think they want sex but in the end they just want company
- freehorse 2y agoThere was this big pushback when replika put an end to sexual interactions with their AIs. People who pushed back were not just using the AIs for sexting sort of things, but it was part of the "connection" aspect, at least how I interpreted it. A lot of people seemed like genuinely grieving at the time this and some other changes happened (later at least the sexual thing came back). It is probably an aspect of what a few people want but not the whole thing for them.
