Yikes.

I had a conversation with Pi which tries for empathy. It was really weird because every now and again it did sound like it was interested in me or cared about me. Reminds me of that Philip K Dick story about the murder bots that look like wounded soldiers or lost children.

Just what I needed 😵 Vocal model #2 sounds so cute and more real than anything I've heard irl 🥺🥺

Pi is my favorite chatbot by quite a margin. For anyone that hasn't tried it yet I would recommend it, even if just for comparison's sake.
