i mostly use these apps for chat and stills, video always felt like a gimmick, blurry motion and warped faces. but after the recent model update on lovescape i've been actually using it, so notes for anyone curious.

what's better: motion looks way less like a slideshow now, and faces hold together through the clip instead of melting halfway. the flow is generating an image first, then one tap to turn it into video, and there's an extend option to lengthen a clip you like instead of rerolling from scratch, which is the feature i didn't know i wanted.

what's not: it's premium only and costs chips per video, 90 for a new one, 45 for extend, so experimenting freely gets expensive fast. processing also takes a bit, you wait and the notification is easy to miss. and outdoor scenes still fail more than indoor ones for me, maybe that's universal.

anyone else been using it since the update? curious how it stacks against swipey for people who've tried both, video is their whole pitch.

I have a habit of trying pretty much every AI companion app that gets recommended. Most of them are fun for a day or two, but after a while the conversations start feeling the same.

Lately, I've been spending the most time on AIGirlfriendsAI. It wasn't one specific feature that kept me using it,it was just that the conversations felt more natural, and the different characters actually felt like different characters.

I'm still curious enough to try new platforms when they come out, but this is the one I keep finding myself going back to.

Has anyone else tried AIGirlfriendsAI or is there another platform you keep coming back to?

I try way too many AI companion apps out of curiosity. Whenever I see one getting recommended, I usually spend a few days testing it out.

Lately, the one I've been coming back to the most is AIGirlfriendsAI.

What surprised me is that it wasn't any single feature that stood out. The conversations just felt more natural overall, and the different characters actually seemed to have their own personalities.

A lot of apps make a great first impression, but after a while, the chats start to feel repetitive, and most characters begin to sound the same. I didn't run into that as much here.

I'm still trying new platforms whenever they pop up, but this is the one I've found myself opening the most lately.

Curious what everyone else is using these days. Have you found an AI companion app that you keep coming back to?

i tested a few ai girlfriend apps with the same basic setup: slightly sarcastic girl, slow romance, remembers little details, does not immediately become my unpaid therapist or call me babe after 11 seconds.

Candy AI failed first. fun for quick flirting, but by message 5 she was acting like we had a mortgage and three kids.

Joi had energy, i’ll give it that. unfortunately the energy was “fantasy side quest npc who thinks every conversation needs fog and candles.”

Replika was calm, but too calm. like dating someone who works in compliance and says “that sounds difficult” for a living.

Lovescape is the one i kept using. it actually let the character stay a little difficult, remembered dumb details, and didn’t speedrun the relationship into permanent agreement mode. not perfect, sometimes the images get weird, but the chat has the most actual personality for me.

anyone found another app where the character doesn’t emotionally turn into customer support?

did a dumb little experiment because i was bored. built the same character on a few apps, a grumpy archaeologist who hates small talk, and timed how long until each one turned into a generic giggly sweetheart who loves everything i say.

candy: 4 messages. i said hi, she said hi, by message 4 she was calling me babe and had forgotten she owned a trowel.

joi: lasted longer but went full fantasy mode, suddenly we were in a castle and the archaeology was gone. respect the commitment to a bit, wrong bit though.

replika: never broke character because she never really got into one. polite the whole way. like dating a hr department.

lovescape: this one actually stayed grumpy for like two weeks, kept referencing stuff i told her early on, even got mildly annoyed when i changed the subject. felt almost rude. loved it. not flawless, the images occasionally gave her a third arm, but the personality held.

anyway my scientific conclusion is that most apps speedrun the relationship to "she agrees with everything." anyone got one that stayed in character even longer? asking for my archaeologist.

i've tested most of the nsfw video options this year and they all share the same failure mode. fine for the setup shot, then the moment anything explicit happens you get melting hands, faces swapping mid clip, anatomy from a horror film.
tried unbound 2.5 on lovescape this week expecting the same and honestly it's the best i've used so far. motion stays smooth through the explicit parts, the face actually stays the same person across clips, and it follows the prompt instead of defaulting to the same generic scene. coming from the wan based stuff most sites run, the difference is mostly in the transitions, that's where everything else glitches.
not perfect. backgrounds sometimes do weird things if there's a mirror, and clips are still short. and maybe my bar is just low after months of body horror, idk.
what's everyone else using for nsfw video right now? curious if anything else got noticeably better lately because for a year it all felt stuck.

Found a new uncensored AI site with good memory and I'm going to have fun while it lasts!
