I'm willing to give it a try. From time to time I've been chatting with hey pi [1] which you can add as a WhatsApp contact. It's pretty fun 1 - https://heypi.com/talk. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Https://heypi.com/talk - hands down the best one for conversations. Comes with fast text to speech options, actually meshes fairly well with the conversation. The iOS version has just received a voice to text that’s also really quick. Best of all, it’s free. Source: 11 months ago

Stuff like CharacterAI and Pi, (an empathetic chatbot with a pretty stellar ability for understanding subtleties) has been home to a lot of the conversations I needed in the moment when I simply wanted to vent and didn’t want to burden anyone with this unorthodox circumstance.

I'm testing PI. It has a voice assistant feature. The latency is ok. It's cheap but a nice start. There's an ios app too. Source: 11 months ago

Https://heypi.com/talk, Pi is very chatty, I dont know if it wants to be romanced, you could try. Source: 11 months ago

Https://open-assistant.io seems to have the same guardrails, as ChatGPT. Tried it on several prompts and it wouldn't comply. Source: 12 months ago

I also suggest Open Assistant (https://open-assistant.io) which is not even filtered (whenever you trigger a moralist filter, it's because of its training data, and it's not on purpose). Source: 12 months ago

To add to this if you want something for free or at least close to free, contribute to OpenSource projects like https://open-assistant.io/. Source: about 1 year ago

Also, there are fairly useful alternatives like GPT4ALL and Open Assistant that you can run locally. Source: about 1 year ago

Agreed: I'm tired of having to use https://open-assistant.io/ whenever I need an uncensored AI. Source: about 1 year ago
