Saw the videos he posted on tiktok lol:
and read from Vice:
A DIY coder created a virtual “wife” from ChatGPT and other recently-released machine learning systems that could see, respond, and react to him.
The programmer, who goes by Bryce and claims to be an intern at a major tech firm, posted demonstrations of “ChatGPT-Chan” to TikTok. In one video, he asks ChatGPT-chan to go to Burger King, and the bot responds with a generated image of her eating a burger and says out loud, “no way, it smells like old french fries and they never refill their Coke.”
“ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion 2 were released close to each other and instantly became hot topics in the news,” Bryce told Motherboard in an email. “With both topics cluttering social media, the idea to combine them felt like it was being forcibly shoved into my head.”
The A.I. waifu is an amalgamation of all of these technologies—a language generator, image generator, text-to-speech, and computer vision tools—in ways he finds amusing, he said.
“She is living in a simulation of a world through the form of text,” Bryce said. “She is given an elaborate explanation on the lore of the world and how things work. She is given a few paragraphs explaining what she is and how she should act. She doesn't hear my voice, just the transcription of it. She doesn't truly see or feel anything, she is merely informed of what she senses through text. Just like how I could never truly be together with her, she will never truly be together with me.”
To give it a personality, Bryce told ChatGPT that he wanted it to roleplay as Mori Calliope, an anime VTuber character. “I don't watch VTubers, but I felt that giving it this specific character as a base could influence how it ‘roleplays’ in a positive way,” he said. “I tell it Mori and I are in a romantic relationship, give her a detailed backstory, build lore about the world we are in, and hand craft some chat history to shape how she talks.”
Building the “lore” of their roleplay relationship is a critical part of the process, he said. “By default, GPT is incredibly bland, but by building interesting lore, I can create interesting quirks and personalities.” He used a similar process for another project where he made a ChatGPT replica of the Bonzi Buddy chat software from the late 90’s, and convinced it that it was “someone who desperately wants to be skinned and turned into my blanket.”
