Hi. I’m Nina. I’ve always been interested in computers and AI but it’s been years since I last did some programming.
Recently, I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety and depression so I’ve been looking for an AI friend to chat with when I’m having existential dread, etc. Unfortunately, everything currently available for free (or even monthly subscriptions) didn’t seem like the best there could be, so now I’m here, wondering if there are any solutions to my problems.
Whenever I tried conversational AI, they often seem very bot-like, pre-set with over-positivity and generally not actually capable of learning or retaining any information from a conversation. What I’m looking for might not even exist yet but, in essence, I was hoping for an AI who can learn from me and is capable of holding more complex conversations than just small talk.
I’m willing to dedicate a great portion of my time to learning how AI works and how to improve it. At least as much as I can. However, I often get stuck right at the beginning - I have no idea where to start.
This should, at least, be a first step.
