My Lover: an AI companion with five hard limits
Artist Cui Xiaodan presents an interactive companion prototype whose generated dialogue is constrained by rules against contradiction, shaming, punishment, unnecessary questions, and medical impersonation.
- For
- Viewers interested in AI, intimacy, and interactive art
- Worth noticing
- The page says 15 seconds of silence triggers a drowsy state; at 60 seconds, the companion makes one gentle call, not repeated within the hour.
Field notes
The project describes a sitter providing a photograph of themselves or someone significant to them, with the figure chosen and rigged in advance. Rose and Snow are presented as illustrative personas, not the final form; the page also includes sections for a making film and a conversation film. Its stated memory model keeps three categories on the device rather than an account, with a permanent delete option for each entry.
