pets could have their own profiles and make friends with other "ai" pets, talk with their owners etc.... like moltbook

and could make it a gold only feature.

would prob be too diffecult to add, i just think it would be cool.

Just wanna put my two cents in, I’d really like if Subeta would entirely forego integrating any AI.

Folks are rushing to cram it into everything, like radium… but, like radium, it doesn’t really need to be in everything, and there will be consequences both foreseen and unforeseen for this hasty widespread incorporation we’re seeing.

i don't think so.

My pets are not furbies.

Also, Keith is strongly anti-generative AI. This will not fly as long as he's in charge.

No ai, please

No thank you to AI on Subeta.

I appreciate the natural, human-born creativity here.

I'm sorry to be dramatic but I'd rather set myself on fire and walk across a hallway full of legos

I don't want generative AI here. I truly don't want it anywhere. I miss the days when people used their own brains to write and make art. I would ONLY want anything like this if everything were written by actual humans.

No thanks. I'm good without adding the tech-herpes known as "AI" to Subeta.

No, don't set yourself on fire, set the AI on fire instead. Silly!

Besides, what would the AI do?

Give us generic replies according to the pet's specie or color. Meaning that all Common Kumos are gonna have the same pool of answers and premade phrases, while we all know that each pet is unique.

Every single pet has its own reason to exist more, its own story and it's often more than "It's a Kumos and it's light blue"

I have way more faith in my fellow writers than anything artificial thieves/copycats can do

Having this kind of thing in a website that is currently only existing out of pure love, with such a strong art community, would be incredibly disrespectful not only towards players but towards the art team of Subeta who have been doing 20 years worth of creativity. GenAI is absolutely distasteful and destructive.

no

that is all

We can make a bit of code and run it in tampermonkey to do the same thing. Simply Python code, an array or dictionary, some phrases that occur at random when surfing the site.

There are ways to make interactions with pets, NPCs, etc. feel more engaging without relying on gen AI or even neutral networks. Games have been doing it for years without having the ability to use this kind of tech.

I don't want to come across as dogpiling OP because I don't see anything specifically wrong with desiring more interactivity on the site, but using gen AI is not the way and to use gen AI is inherently unethical. I would rather see human-created and -driven ways to encourage interactivity (perhaps through roleplay, contests, etc.), as that creativity is the backbone of the site to begin with.

Nope. Subeta doesn't need AI "features". GenAI is bad for the environment, inethical, and also, Subeta is anti-AI, lol.

An interaction thing would be cute, I'm not against that part. Just against the AI bit.

Oh, ew.

If you (general) want AI, go someplace else.

I don't think my input is needed at this point, but just in case: please no AI.

Please, no AI, never, no way, I would hate it.

Hard pass

my ideal for generative ai is none at all in any place ever <3
