What actually makes an AI companion feel real?
At this point I don’t even care that much about raw intelligence anymore. most AI companion apps are smart enough.The thing that separates them for me is personality.
I’ve tried stuff like LustC͏rushAI ,Rep͏lika, Can͏dyAI, Spic͏yChat, and a few others recently. Some of them look impressive at first, but after a while the replies start feeling weirdly polished and repetitive. Like every character is secretly the same bot wearing different clothes.
Curious what other people notice first when a chatbot starts feeling fake.
