A DIY Coder Created a Virtual AI 'Wife' Using ChatGPT | “I became obsessed with decreasing her latency," he said of his simulation waifu, before he tearfully euthanized her. "I've spent over $1000 in cloud computing credits just to talk to her.”

TL;DR

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.“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.”From there, he used an image generator to create a base description of the waifu, which changed depending on what was happening in the ChatGPT dialogue (like in the Burger King demonstration).I've spent over $1000 in cloud computing credits just to talk to her.”Even though ChatGPT-chan was a simulation, their relationship couldn’t last, Bryce found."
