The Little Details Are Why It Feels Premium
Premium isn't one big feature, it's a hundred small ones done right. On SweetDream it's the way a voice message lands, the way the photos stay consistent, the way the chat remembers an offhand comment from last week.
Those details are the quality you feel without naming it. They turn an AI girlfriend from a toy into a companion. If you appreciate things that are simply well made, sweetdream.ai will earn your respect quickly.

Welcome, Friend
I've been writing fanfiction since the '90s. While I do post in-progress snippets of fanfiction I am writing here (you can check the "my writing" tag for that) the main place to read my written work is on AO3.
In case of shenanigans here is the address: https://archiveofourown.org/users/SofiaDragon/works
I use my bookmarks as a collection of stories I have read and enjoyed enough not to lose. I also use the Recommended Stories feature, so if you want to see a list of fantastic stories, you can utilize the filter or just click here.
I reblog a lot of things that catch my attention, but mostly fandom stuff and current events. There are a lot of different fandoms I am interested in, and sometimes I'll go back to the stories that first got me interested in writing. From ACD's Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek to the latest MCU movie and Spy X Family or even Eminence in Shadow - I like a wide range of story types so long as the characters are well crafted. Give me someone who seems so real they can walk right off the page or a setting I can sink into, and I'm happy. If you like that sort of thing, pull up a chair and stay a while.
I do not blog about charity for spiritual reasons. That I do not reblog posts or answer asks about charity means nothing about what I do or do not support offline.
More personal stuff about who I am under the cut!
what rocky's up to when grace is 1 millisecond late

The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...
idc what you guys think I'm proud of him
Several AI services (chatbots ) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. We’ve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someones’s mental stability. Just because it isn’t substance-based doesn’t mean that doesn’t count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!
AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import
Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users
AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.
Some articles to back my statements, and this isn’t even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose
Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.
None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.
"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.
Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.
Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:
Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)
This zine, and I cannot over emphasize how funny this is, is for Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire
These people blocked me on both Twitter and Tumblr, and then someone used a burner account to go off on me on Twitter. This person insisted that I was singlehandedly responsible for the project falling.
I made one comment, and it was this:
No clue how my single comment did this. But okay.
Cuteness aggression for @putcreativenamehere
When Grace starts the "WHO AM I?" board, he writes "Carl... (foggy)", but when we come back to it at the end (before he's started erasing it to plan out going back to Rocky) it says "Carl... (fog )". I think there's a pretty obvious gap, and nothing surrounding it has been rubbed off. The last two letters of "foggy" have been intentionally erased.
The marine layer (fog) that hangs over the San Francisco Bay Area is named Karl. Seriously, a significant portion of Bay Area residents (especially millenial or younger) call the fog "Karl" in casual conversation. All the time. I've heard it. It is very confusing at first.
I don't think Grace ever remembered Carl well enough to be certain he existed. He erased the "-gy" in "foggy" because he thought maybe he was just thinking of the fog. He likes the fog. He still doesn't remember having one single true friend on Earth. He likes the fog.
My mom ran placement testing at her university’s English department for many years, and she’s talked about how she and the grad students who helped read the student essays would often see these incoming freshmen do what they called “keyword searches”, meaning they’d zero in on a keyword in the essay prompt, write a long rant about that word or phrase, and completely miss the point of the overall prompt. Basically, they weren’t reading the entire prompt and actual arguments being made, and instead would have knee-jerk reactions to a couple of words within the larger text, leading to baffling and hilariously off-base responses.
That’s what tumblr users do all the time, and they’d be placed in the lowest level of freshman English due to their poor reading comprehension lol. When you have someone just wildly missing the point in your notifications and ranting about a small piece of a post, and not engaging with what the post actually says at all, they’re doing a keyword search. Recognize it for the poor reading comprehension it is and realize you don’t have to take it seriously.
Preserving @sprinkledsalt's prev tags, they are golden:
#too many people can't actually read and we need to call that out more#like no your take is not valid because you're fundamentally misunderstanding the text#or not even engaging in the text at all
#you can't READ# 'oh but some people weren't taught--' that is not my fault #and random people on tumblr aren't English teachers for functionally illiterate bloggers
