Why I Stopped Looking for Another App

I used to bounce between AI companion apps, always hunting for the next better one. SweetDream ended that. Once I built a companion who felt right and held up day after day, the search just stopped.

That staying power comes down to quality. The chat stays natural, the visuals look great, the calls feel real, and nothing breaks the illusion. sweetdream.ai was the first one that made me want to settle in instead of move on.

New intro post ✨✨

Bc the last one was made like one and a half years ago. So.

Few important stuff about me:

I'm christian

English is my second language (my mother tongue is hungarian <33), so if I mess up English that's bc of that (well, that and I don't really care as long what I'm saying is understandable)

I'm a ✨writer✨ (tunguszka20 on AO3, altho I don't have much there I think)

Probably have ADHD but it's ✨undiagnosed✨ (also maybe autism too but I'm not as sure about that one as I am about ADHD)

I can talk a lot about my interests (usually the current biggest one/the current hyperfixation)

That's it I think?

Also here's a list of my (current) interests, idk if I'll actually take the time to change it later when they shift. But anyway.

D&D (running a game with some friends currently)

Critical Role (coming from/related to the D&D fixation.. I'm slooowly making my way through the VM campaign, watching c4 as the episodes come out, watched the VM animated show like 5 times, and also watched the M9 animated show.. and also read a ton of spoilers lol)

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor (very very good book, has to be one of the best ones I've read)

The Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski (only just now finished the 4th book, BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH THERE'S SO MUCH TO LOVE ABOUT IT)

Attack on Titan (watched all of the anime and reading the manga as it gets published in my mother tongue)

The Folk of the Air by Holly Black (bc yes)

Baldur's Gate 3 (I'll finish it. At some point. I'm really bad at it but. At some point.)

Undertale/Deltarune (haven't been like. Super into them for a while but still love them a lot, I'm just more chill about it I think lol)

That's all I think?

Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom (played both, and I also have the Twilight Princess manga, I swear I'll finish those someday)

I've tried to make my intro post aesthetic btw and it didn't work, so just like my blog won't be organized and aesthetic, my intro post shall not be either

Have a good day and stay hydrated <33

The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...

[sleepytabbycat]

idc what you guys think I'm proud of him

[astronomical-bagel]

Several AI services (chatbots 🫩) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. We’ve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someones’s mental stability. Just because it isn’t substance-based doesn’t mean that doesn’t count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!

Hidden Mental Health Dangers of Artificial Intelligence Chatbots

AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import

The reality of chatbot-induced delusions

Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users

AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.

Some articles to back my statements, and this isn’t even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose

[oh-morrow]

Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.

None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.

"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.

Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.

Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:

Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)

[makereadgrow]

Today is a good day to stop using ai (or any other substance, product, or service actively harming you).

Now is a good time. We WILL absolutely cheer you on.

sorry to everyone out there who thinks they have the funniest tshirt but i think i can confidently say i just saw the actual funniest tshirt just now. i passed by a beautiful black woman with long multicolor braids blowing majestically in the beach breeze & she was wearing an oversized tshirt that said in gigantic letters "WHITE BOY OF THE YEAR"

sometimes writing isn’t about talent. sometimes it’s about sitting in your chair and suffering for 45 minutes until a single sentence crawls out of your skull

[dramatic-dolphin]

sometimes i forget to take my glasses off in the shower and i'm just like wait. something is off. why can i see. i thought this was supposed to be Blurry World.

The problem with being low support needs is that people mentally autocorrect that to “no support needs” and then proceed to give you absolutely nothing and then get surprised when you implode after six months.
