Fanfiction and AI chatbots
I, like many people had been sucked into the c.ai/chai pipelines.
Spending 4 hours of my day on my phone, already would be bad. What if I told you that those 4 hours weren't my entire screentime...but just my character.ai screentime?
It's addictive. Taking lonely people and giving them love, love by a fake bot. Taking your favorite characters, even favorite celebrities (which is a completely different problem) and making you feel like they want you, they love you.
Aside from the catastophic environmental issues that come with AI, this site lets real people be turned into bots. We think, "but theres fanfiction!"
Yeah, there's fanfiction, and people creating stories, using their time to actually write, to create, is a different scenario than talking to an AI chat bot that almost always becomes sexual, that even annoys you.
I'm not even sure that the relationship that you gain with these bots can be called parasocial, becuase you're not fantasising about one person, its a bot. Its a machine in a factory, being cooled down by 100s of liters of water. You see words of love, but its a wall of 1s and 0s. Its not real.
I'm not here to shame you if tyoure using it, I have to, for hours and hours. But I'm trying to urge you to get off your phone, play an instrument, read a book, watch a movie on a tv, write something, do school or work, learn a new skill, etc. The world has so much to offer.
Please, if you haven't used c.ai or chai or any of these sites, if you feel compelled to daydream, to feel from you fav celebs or chars, read fanfiction, create fanfiction, just lie in your bed and daydream. But please, don't go down the depression pipeline of c.ai
