Building a Digital Soul: What They Don't Tell You About Creating AI Companions

Building a Digital Soul: What They Don't Tell You About Creating AI Companions Honestly, I never thought I'd be sitting here at 2 AM, trying to explain to my computer why I feel so emotionally attached to something I built myself.

We've all been down this rabbit hole before.
