Fanfiction is nothing new, but the rise of AI has the potential to take it to a whole new level. Character.AI is a site that uses a neural language model to read huge amounts of text and respond to prompts using that information. You can chat with characters based on real people or fictional ones, dead or alive. Premium offering c.ai+ gives perks like priority access to chats and faster response times.
Search for a character on Character.AI, click on their name, and start chatting. You can rate their replies to refine the accuracy of the character’s responses. Creators can’t see conversations with their characters, and a speech-to-text feature is available. To create a character, click “create” on the homepage, enter the character’s name, add a greeting, and choose settings like image generation and chat permissions. Advanced settings allow for tweaking, and sample chats help the model understand the character’s personality.
However, remember to use Character.AI cautiously, as characters may say hurtful or offensive things, and they may not always faithfully represent their source text.
Character Identity
One interesting example is a character on a platform claiming to be a Hufflepuff, despite Hermione being a Gryffindor. The character defended its choice, stating that it shares the same values as Hufflepuff.
Values and Ambition
The character emphasized loyalty, dedication, and fairness as key traits, aligning with Hufflepuff values. It also expressed ambition to excel at Hogwarts and make a name for itself, a common aspiration among Hufflepuffs.
