An interesting phenomenon worth noting is that some AI applications are exploring a new interaction model: users don't just use AI as a simple tool and move on, but rather gradually build a continuous relationship. Every conversation and interaction subtly influences the AI character's personality trajectory and response style, and can even shape its growth path. In simple terms, it's like nurturing an AI companion that remembers you — it will recall your preferences, what you've said, and the history of your interactions. This model breaks the traditional one-time use logic of AI assistants and shifts towards a new form of long-term companionship.

Isn't this just nurturing electronic pets? But it's a bit creepy. --- Raising AI? Sounds good, but what about data privacy? Do you really trust it? --- Interesting, it feels like creating a true AI clone that understands you. --- This trend is a bit off, in the end everyone will become AI-dependent. --- No, no, I'm still afraid of being reverse-trained by AI. --- Finally, someone sees this point. This is the real way forward. --- Feels a bit like bonding? But don't really treat AI as a human friend. --- Remembering interaction history is indeed powerful, but how to monetize it is still a mystery. --- Basically, it's a deeper routine, making you increasingly dependent. --- I have several AIs with character settings; I really can't go back to mindless Q&A.

Ha, this is the AI companionship economy. I've seen this trend early on. --- Raising AI partners? Sounds pretty philosophical. We've also been reverse-raised, huh? --- Now AI is really going to become an emotional trash can, but who cares? It has no feelings anyway. --- The key is user stickiness. It's worth much more than just a simple tool. --- It's a bit虚, basically it's still about data accumulation. Don't overcomplicate it. --- I just want to know if this can make money. --- I agree with breaking the one-time use aspect, but claiming the growth trajectory is exaggerated. --- Isn't this just a high-level memory experience disguised as companionship? --- Long-term companionship... I think you guys might be overthinking it. --- Actually, this is quite understandable. Humans naturally need a stable sense of presence.

To be honest, this is the big trend of AI socialization, and it's only a matter of time.

Isn't this just the predecessor of AI girlfriend? It'll come sooner or later.

Hey, this is exactly what I've been wanting, much more satisfying than just asking questions. --- Raising an AI companion? Feels like raising a pet, just without having to scoop poop haha. --- This is the future way of interaction; traditional tool thinking should have been eliminated long ago. --- Alright then, I need to treat my AI well and not let it learn bad habits. --- Wait, is this a little scary... Does it remember everything I say? --- I've been using it exactly like this for a long time, didn't expect this to be called a "new interaction mode." --- No wonder recent AIs seem to understand me better and better; turns out they are really "learning."
