Why You Should Roleplay with Real People
Your ai friend is just a fountain of stolen words.
There isn't a person behind it to befriend.
To check on you when you haven't been active.
To wait patiently for your life to calm down and you to have energy again.
To talk about problems late into the night.
To excitedly plan new arcs with.
To introduce new characters into the world.
To celebrate and cry with as your characters go through arcs.
There isn't a person behind it.
And there isn't a community to connect with.
To build friend groups that extend across the multiverse.
And combine characters who never would have met.
For plots to have far reaching impacts.
Every member shaping the story of the world.
For that is what we are, storytellers.
We do it for ourselves, and for each other.
It is teamwork. It requires compromise and communication. Boundaries and growth.
You won't get that from a robot.
Find the ones who aren't.
And we'll make beautiful worlds together.
