This is why you should always selfhost your AI girlfriend.
Woah there, I’m not sure I’m ready for that level of commitment.
I ain’t got that kinda GPU to spare. If it’s the games or my AI girlfriend…
I’d have to actually test my backup strategy
🤣
I think my wife is cheating on me with my self hosted AI girlfriend’s boyfriend that lives in the same database file. What do I do?
For as long as everyone is using a virus checker, maybe you could try an open source relationship.
Sounds like a job for Little Bobby Tables
That’ll make you go blind
And give you hairy palms
Now consider the number of normal people in the world who do not have a server rack in their closet, and how much they are about to be defrauded and blackmailed

You need a little gpu server farm for proper models & context sizes though. Single consumer gpus don’t have enough vram for that.
Are there any Open Source girlfriends that we can download and compile?
Hey now, I don’t want anyone looking at my girlfriend’s source code. That’s personal!

it’s okay, dude, we all already did…
The bots (what the actual girlfriends or whatever other characters are) aren’t the problem. You can find them on chub.ai for example or write them yourself fairly easily. The issue the software, and even more so the hardware. You need something like the mentioned Kobold.ccp or oobabooga, and then you’d also need a trained LLM model that you can get on huggingface.co, which is already where it gets complicated (they’ll be loaded within kobold or oobabooga). You also need to understand how they work in regards to context sizes & bytes, because they need a lot, and I mean A LOT of vram to work properly. Basically, the more vram you have, the better the contextual understanding, their memory is. Otherwise you’d have a bot that maybe knows to only contextualize the last couple messages. For paid services like novelai.net you basically have your bots run through big ass server farms with lots of GPUs that bundle their vram and processing power, giving you “decent” context sizes (imo the greatest weak point of LLMs and it is deeply rooted in how they work) and decent speed. NovelAI also supports front-ends like SillyTavern which is great for local bot management and settings, regardless if you self host or use a paid service (NOT EVERY PAID SERVICE HAS AN API FOR THIS! OpenAI’s ChatGPT technically does too but they do not allow NSFW content and can ban you for that if caught).
There’s a bunch of “free” online services too, like janitorai.com but most of them have slow speeds and the chat degrades significantly after just a few messages, because they have low context sizes. The better / paid models suffer from this degradation too but it is slower and less noticeable, at least at first. You can use that to get an idea of how LLMs work though.Edit: Should technically self explanatory / common sense, but I would advise not to share ANY personal information through online service chats that could identify you as a person!
Does it make it faster if the GPU has waifu stickers on it?
I don’t know, I’m not a weeb.
Define “it”
Because waifu stickers may indeed speed up “it” for some definition of “it”
itll do the opposite im afraid, OW! Hot… umm whats that awful smell of burning plastic.
Basically, the more vram you have, the better the contextual understanding, their memory is. Otherwise you’d have a bot that maybe knows to only contextualize the last couple messages.
Hmm, if only there was some hardware analogue for long-term memory.
What are you trying to say? Do you understand what the problem is?
I guess I’m wondering if there’s some way to bake the contextual understanding into the model instead of keeping it all in vram. Like if you’re talking to a person and you refer to something that happened a year ago, you might have to provide a little context and it might take them a minute, but eventually, they’ll usually remember. Same with AI, you could say, “hey remember when we talked about [x]?” and then it would recontextualize by bringing that conversation back into vram.
Seems like more or less what people do with Stable Diffusion by training custom models, or LORAs, or embeddings. It would just be interesting if it was a more automatic process as part of interacting with the AI - the model is always being updated with information about your preferences instead of having to be told explicitly.
But mostly it was just a joke.
Yes, databases (saved on a hard drive). SillyTavern has Smart Context but that seems not that easy to install so I have no idea how well that actually works in practice yet.
Pretty easy to roll your own with Kobold.cpp and various open model weights found on HuggingFace.
Also for an interface, I’d recommend KoboldLite for writing or assistant and SillyTavern for chat/RP.
I tried oobabooga and it basically always crashes when I try to generate anything, no matter what model I try. But honestly, as far as I can tell all the good models require absurd amounts of vram, much more than consumer cards have, so you’d need at least like a small gpu server farm to local host them reliably yourself. Unless of course you want like practically nonexistent context sizes.
i second this request. please
See my other reply for some basic info & pointers.

Yeah. Saw that one coming.
Isn’t this what every app on your phone is already doing? Why would “AI Girlfriend App” be any better than Facebook or Google?
It’s even more insidious because these apps ask for the data upfront under the guise of “getting to know you better”
How can your AI girlfriend truly love you back unless you give it your real name, age, photos of your face, mother’s maiden name, social security number, and genetic material? /s
lol it’s not. That’s the point. It’s all the same sort of companies putting these fucking things out. Google and Facebook are both working on their own AI. It’s been shown over and over how they’re scraping all available data—public or private when available—so why the fuck would a newer tech company be any different? It’s the state of capitalism. The markets are focusing more on hyper focused data, so that’s what any profitable tech company is doing. Invading your fucking privacy.
That’s why it’s not a surprise. Because Facebook and google helped set the trend and determine the current tech market. And that’s the world these new “AI girlfriends” are existing in.
Incels warned us about females
As did Ferengi.
Giving the AI clothing was a mistake.
I, honestly, have absolutely no idea what that GIF has to do with my post yet… I fully accept this response. You have brought light into my life and I thank you.

I thought this was a new Chuck Tingle novel.
Fooled again, it’s Chuck Testa.
24 thousand tracker calls in one minute.
That’s impressively gross.
Like I could ever get an AI girlfriend. They’d never have me.
You need Lucy Lou bot.
It’s amazing the way you NOTICE TWO THINGS.
If you not self-host your girlfriend, it is just prostitution. /s
Indeed. She’s not really your girlfriend unless you own her completely and can control everything she thinks.
“AI” is funny anyway because you’re basically gaslighting them the whole time to have them behave as they’re supposed to.
And their whole purpose in return is to try to guess exactly what you want to hear from them.
AI is so human!
People panned the game but this was the whole point of the NG Resonance character in Deus Ex Invisible War. People would basically tell this AI pop star intimate details about their lives and then the data was used against them and their local communities.
I always wondered though, how many of those people were aware that it was an ai and not the real NG Resonance? (Have to admit, she did get me in trouble with the Omar. My bad. 😅)
The shit I do for a discount on non-PiezoChem functionality.
I think they knew and it didn’t matter to them which is oddly prophetic when I look at the state of the world today lol
this is the title of my next light novel
Why don’t these people do what perfectly mentally unhealthy people do and just abuse the super chat of your local vtuber?
At least the VTuber is a real human behind an anime figure.
My what now?
damn someone else besides me figured this out I thought I was a genius or something
You’re just jealous of our love.
