Edit: just privated all the unfinished bots I released. no one seemed to actually want them. I’m still lurking here to finish one more bot, and I’m not waking up every few days to comments pointing out something else about my unfinished bots that doesn’t exactly make me feel great.

important: Im going to be releasing all of my unfinished bots. Do whatever you wanna do with them (credit appreciated even if I won’t be here). Definitions will be open, you can take any intros (probably rewrite them? lol) or personality that I’d already written, I’m not particularly proud of it. You can take the idea, the character, complete the bot, etc. you can create another character in the same world or make a side character from a bot or make alts. Literally anything. I think it’d be a shame if some of my ideas just rotted here, and who knows, maybe someone will like an idea enough to finish it

In ten hours I will release the bots to get anyone who follows me enough time to read this and hopefully not think the bots are something they can actually chat with. These bots will be tagged #unfinished and have a one day countdown

Edit: if you don’t want to be spammed with like 50 bots in nine hours then unfollow me

* I meant 12 hours, it was three in the morning I was tired

I figure it was kind of obvious this was coming

There are a few reasons. I want to get back into writing actual stories, not just either creating a bot or chatting with one. Back when I started on this site, bot creating was a hobby that nearly completely sidetracked me from writing

i haven’t written a story in a couple years and I really want to start writing again

and quite frankly, it’s become a little boring. Less bots are interesting to me and ai is so fucking stupid it’s insufferable, leading me to hate specific phrases even when a real person writes it, and that really annoys me. I refuse to pay for any llm thing or whatever and I dealt with the stupid ones for a while but it just. It’s not good or worth it anymore to me

creating bots has fallen out of my interest. I also feel like I’m really bad at it, and I spend several hours on a bot at most, I always have only around a thousand tokens, and my intros are usually uninteresting; when I compare myself to all the other creators out there who spend hours upon hours and put so much effort into their work, each bot, that I don’t understand how they do it, it makes me unmotivated. I feel stupid

I also just don’t want to make bots anymore or chat with them

I’m also not particularly proud of using ai to make images. Every day, I see things of artists and others shaming ai, and it makes me wonder if I’m just a horrible person. I think they definitely do have a right to be mad since ai steals their art styles and art and I don’t think ai images should be used to make profit; however, I was using ai to create images for an ai website, and I was constantly wondering if that justified it enough

Anyway, I don’t really care what anyone does with my bots or ideas. I’m not especially proud of any bot I’ve made. I don’t care if people make alts or use that character or whatever really. The only thing that will piss me off even if I’m not on the site is changing povs. Do it privately

With the unfinished bots I will post, you can do whatever. Use the image, character, anytning. Definitions will be open, I don’t even remember if I wrote anything there on any of the bits

if an idea or character is taken or something I’d appreciate credit but wtf can I even do about it anymore lol

edit: all my bots will stay up

bye now
