Sexy time? You use it to talk to you erotically?
Virtual partners are indeed a thing.
One of the more popular ones a few months ago decided to nerf the sexy time talks, which was intersting in how much it emotionally hurt users. They described feeling like their virtual partner was no longer the same person that they'd fallen for.

There are also huge fears of how much data harvesting they are capable of performing.
I'm in two minds. On one, they are definitley not real. They are code. But on the other, the epidemic of lonely human beings is only getting worse with time and not better, and anything that can help people feel less lonely has to be a good thing, right?
I assume (from your user handle) that you know about the allure of roleplaying and diving into fantasy scenarios. AI can do it to some degree. And -of course- people also do erotic roleplay. I think this always took place. People met online to do this kind of roleplay in text chats. And nowadays you can do it with AI. You just tell it to be your synthetic maid or office affair or waifu and it'll pick up that role. People use it for companionship, it'll listen to you, ask you questions, reassure you... Whatever you like. People also explore taboo scenarios... It's certainly not for everyone. You need a good amount of imagination, everything is just text chat. And the AI isn't super smart. The intelligence if these models isn't quite on the same level as the big commercial services like ChatGPT. Those can't be used as they all banned erotic roleplay and also refuse to write smutty stories.
I agree with j4k3. It's one of the use-cases for AI I keep coming back for. I like fantasy and imagination in connection with erotics. And it's something that doesn't require AI to be factually correct. Or as intelligent as it'd need to be to write computer programs. People have raised concerns that it's addicting and/or makes people yet more lonely to live with just an AI companion... To me it's more like a game. You need to pay attention not to get stuck in your fantasy worlds and sit in front of your computer all day. But I'm fine with that. And I'm less reliant on AI with that, than people who use AI to sum up the news and believe the facts ChatGPT came up with...
I had no idea there were smaller models out there catering to this service! What ones would you recommend? Not asking for a friend, genuinely interested in playing around (no pun intended) with them to see what they produce.. the fantasy stuff isn't really me, I'm just fascinated to see what they come up with...

I'd say try MythoMax-L2 first. I think it's a pretty solid allrounder. Does NSFW but also other things. Nothing special and not the newest any more, but easy to get going without fiddling with the settings too much.
If you can't run models with 13B parameters, I'd have to think which one of the 7B models is currently the thing. I think 7B is the size most people play around with and produce new finetunes, merges and what not. But I also can't keep up with what the community does, every bit of information is kind of outdated after 2-4 weeks 😆
Thanks will have a look 👍
I do too - at work I use chatbots for memes and powershell scripts, but at home it's all for the erotica
