Overview
Character.AI is a character chatbot that is powered by deep learning and large language models created specifically for this application. Instead of borrowing the functionalities from already established large language models such as Chat GPT, they built their model from the ground up keeping its primary function in mind which is conversation. Built by trained and certified Google AI developers, it has gained popularity swiftly and ranks just behind the most popular AI generative applications.
How does it work?
It is based on a large language model and a deep machine learning model. A supercomputer takes the command from the user and within nanoseconds consults with the huge database in the form of texts and then hallucinates what words might come next in any given situation. This gives the user the impression that they are in conversation with a real character. The results are highly entertaining and it makes it even more entertaining that you not only can converse with historical personalities but can choose any fictional characters as well.
Who Can Use It?
Surprisingly, the usage implications of Charcter.AI are limitless. It may seem like an application that only attracts an audience aged between 16 to 20, but it can benefit a large amount of people from all walks of life. According to an article published in the BBC, many youngsters are turning towards AI therapist bots present on the Character. AI. It is a great way to dialogue with different characters which helps you find different perspectives. You can chat with Taylor Swift, have a meaningful conversation with Elon Musk or discuss matters of national security with Barack Obama. You can choose different themes as well as characters.
How to Access?
As expected from a well funded and well executed web application, Charcter.AI is not that difficult to use. All you have to do is to first of all go to the website, and then sign up for an account. Then you are required to access the platform and choose the virtual character you would like to interact with. You have the choice to provide input through text, voice or gestures. That’s it. You are all set to be engaged in endless interesting conversations with the characters you fancy.
