If that AI companion isn’t on your own hardware, it will likely require a subscription eventually. And running an AI agent yourself isn’t cheap.
Not your hardware, not your girlfriend.
Oh that's dark
Would you trust an Ai that's only dating you for the subscription?
Usually that's how therapists work and people trust then
My therapist ran on a 1080 ti... Much cheaper and did not involve insurance.
I wouldn't trust a self hosted AI that I trained myself.
