If you benchmark AI companion platforms purely on visual output, the criteria are pretty clear: facial consistency, natural lighting, believable texture, and faithfulness to the character you actually designed. I held sweetdream.ai to all four, and it scored where it counts. The photos look less like AI renders and more like pictures of a real person you happen to be talking to.

What pushes it past the pack is how the visuals connect to everything else.

Another finding I noticed from the BBC pro OSA piece was talks about ministers wanting to gear up to crack down on VPNs to "Protect the children". so expect that to be something they want to expand upon in the near future because they believe children are using VPNs to watch porn now.

I know why Labour are dying on the sword of the online safety act and it's because Starmer watched adolescence with his family one night and the TV show spooked him.
