There is a pretty big difference between “using generative AI to create funny images and videos to share with your human friends” and “getting into a ‘social relationship’ with a fictional character roleplayed by an AI chatbot.”
In the first case, there are actually multiple people involved; there is actually a social relationship, which happens to be sometimes talking about computer-generated images. In the second case, there is a roleplay session with only one human player.
agreed—I’m suggesting they’ll be blending together, and that moving towards AI generated videos as the primary means of generating content on social media will help companies automate content creators
Still feels hard to believe. The most viewed YouTube video has 15B views and I don’t think there are that many with over a billion. But you think one specific character.ai persona has nearly a billion conversations started?

https://character.ai/character/6Y6v1Lzw/gojo-satoru-jujutsu-sorcerer has 864,300,000 different open conversations.
Where people do just that, roleplay session.
I see the 864M interactions, which I don’t think means open conversations.

anime and characterai is massive
