AIDungeon was such a hilarious shitshow, for all that it was an entertaining toy for a while. Honestly I feel a baffling sort of nostalgia for the GPT-2 era of chatbots where it was new and good enough to be interesting but bad enough to be incredibly funny. It was so much better than the bland slop modern chatbots are where they're bad enough to be useless and good enough to be boring. It's like schlocky grindhouse B-movie slop vs modern overcooked Hollywood slop.
I hate proprietary AI models so much. They're all the material and social problems of open source ones, but entirely in the hands of the dullest and most ontologically evil corporate suits alive. Trying to make a machine that's the sum of decades or centuries of human culture and which extrudes a fine paste somewhat resembling the same, that's obviously a very mixed bag at best, but when that paste is just going straight into a selection of corporate injection molds there are no possible positives left, only the complete enclosure of human culture and its replacement with injection molded slop.
