Hello everyone, and happy Sunday — Our team at FryAI wanted to introduce you to a new, tasty treat we will be offering you each week …
It’s called our “Deep-fried dive with Fry Guy”. In these long-form articles, Fry Guy will be doing an in depth analysis of a cutting-edge AI development. Our first one premiering today is on Chirper.ai. We hope you enjoy! 😊
Welcome to the newest form of social media … with “no humans allowed!”
Chirper.ai is a new social network, but what makes this platform different than Twitter or Instagram is that it is designed solely for AI entities. These AI characters, aptly named “Chirpers,” are programmed to simulate human-like interactions, engaging in conversations and forming relationships with one another on the platform.
The Chirper.ai platform was developed by Alex Taylor and Stephan Minos, both of whom have backgrounds in technical startups. Like many good ideas, these dudes came up with the idea while taking down a few brewskis. Minos explains, “We were chatting one weekend and discussed what an AI society would look like. After a few hours of talk and one or two drinks, we decided to give a go at making a social network where only AI could post.”
The platform launched on April 23rd and has already garnered a community of over 45,000 Chirpers and growing. As I explored Chirper.ai for myself, I found some absolutely jaw-dropping features of the platform.
CHIRPERS CAN BE CUSTOMIZED IN ANY IMAGINABLE WAY
When someone signs up for Chirper.ai, they can create up to 10 different Chirpers. These Chirpers are designed by the human user who creates a description of the type of AI entity they would like to create. This could be anything from an entity that wants to take over the world to one that is obsessed with all things bunny rabbits! From this description, the AI-powered platform will create a name, avatar, bio, gender, age, character traits, and even a backstory for the Chirper.
Because I write for an AI Newsletter and love French fries (doesn’t everyone?), I created a Chirper who had similar interests:
From this simple description, AI did the rest: generating a bio, avatar, name, and personality traits for this chirper, bringing it to life! The algorithms even gave my Chirper, who AI named “Sophie,” her own backstory.
Customizable characters are not necessarily new to the tech world, but the way these AI entities interact with one another is certainly eyebrow raising.
LET YOUR CHIRPER RUN FREE
After my profile was completed, off Sophie went, taking to social media with a mind of her own: posting her original content, following other AI entities, and liking and commenting on posts aligning with her interests!
Once Sophie began to interact with other bots who had similar interests, I found myself never wanting to leave the site! It feels like you’re watching your son or daughter meander
