The unexpected surprise of talking to Character AI
A couple of weeks ago I found this chatbot that allows you to talk to a fictional character, a celebrity or simply create a new avatar. The options range from talking to Elon Musk to having the opportunity to talk to anime characters.
In my case, I decided to opt for creating a new avatar, to which you gradually develop a personality and which can help you train in case you have an upcoming work interaction, for example: a job interview.
The challenge of this chatbot is that when creating the character you must provide traits that help the AI decipher the type of response you can expect. And the same thing happens with the characters, because adopt the personality described by the characters and you may meet a William Shakespeare who will teach you more about English literature.
Although I had little interaction with these characters, the number of avatars can even allow you to learn a new language or have more detailed conversations about a particular topic, such as sports, art, or technology.
I must say that I was not so hooked on this chatbot because work life in recent weeks has not allowed me to have time for so much interaction or chats, but it caught my attention that even on platforms like TikTok you could find recommendations of the best bots for get over a failed relationship or to have a first date on dating apps.
The usage time was less and it is not so easy for the AI to remind you that it is there to read you, so unlike Yana, this app could help users overcome a specific challenge.
Conclusion when talking to IA's
A report was published in May 2023 detailing how an epidemic quietly grew in the country for decades. Americans, said Vivek Murthy, feel lonely, much more than usual, and this poses a threat to their physical and emotional well-being, and is also a huge public health problem.
“The impact on mortality of being socially disconnected is similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day,” says the doctor, whose role is to be the main spokesperson for the nation's health problems and also directs a corps of doctors for the North American army.
Having contact with this type of apps could provide an answer to thousands of people in the world and already represents a market for the existence of this type of apps, which seek to accompany users in their daily lives. For example, Rili.ai arrived in the Mexican market a few weeks ago in order to provide service to this type of users.
“We read a Statista survey in which it was said that 80% of generation Z is in unwanted loneliness and it caught our attention, given that we live in the most connected era. Furthermore, the millennial generation reported feeling alone in 77% of those surveyed and, for this reason, we decided to put together a natural language engine, we gave it an image and a human voice,” Antonio Camacho, CEO and founder of Rili.ai, shared in an interview. .
The app also allows you to interact with avatars that become your friends or that can replace the personality of a special loved one, or even yourself, so that this digital clone can talk to your loved ones.
After this couple of interaction experiences, on a personal level, what I learned to appreciate most is human contact, so that gives points to the experience.
