To start, I don’t have a computer.
Well, perchance.org is going down towards its downfall. They just switched their model unecessarily to one who glitches and stays out of character.
I liked the fact I didn’t need to login and didn’t have anyone read my chats, unlike character.ai and others.
Which AI Roleplay alternatives are you guys using?
I use duck.ai sometimes, but I wanted to hear your suggestions.
Character AI sucks, they have the heavy filters and the horrible privacy policy, I can’t.
If you use duck.ai, why not Blackbox then or the free version of DeepSeek? Also there are many LLM resources that are free in Helicard. Now, I should warn you, the privacy issue is going to be a lingering demon always. As sad as it may sound, even this site (Lemmy) is heavily compromised on that area, so if privacy is indeed a concern, the best alternative is to go offline.
Then again, I know that hosting an own LLM can be bankrupting expensive, personally it is something I will never be able to do due to economical constrains, so I get it. So… sadly we pay with data, or with cash, one way or another.
Maybe a better idea would be to acquire an API key from a big service such as Gemini or other you may find in HuggingFace with a group of friends to share between many you may trust to cover expenses. Again, I’m just thinking outloud there since I’m unsure what fits your needs.
I would recommend AI Dungeon if the classic version was still available, but it is not, and perhaps you already know of that one and I really don’t like how restrictive it is either.
If perchance is using deepseek and has such shitty results, I would rather avoid it.
