I created an AI clone of myself and the result was unintentionally hilarious

Half man, half AI.

We’re all familiar with chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot: they’re great for drafting emails, rewriting your text or generating images of your ideas, but they don’t have much of a personality behind them. They’re a bit like a blank slate – reflecting the world around them, rather than defining it. There is one chatbot however that has more than enough personality to make up for the rest of them put together, and that’s Character.ai.

Character AI is a place where you can have a chatbot conversation with Mick Jagger, Steve Jobs and J.R.R. Tolkien at the click of a button. Of course, these are the chatbot versions of famous musicians, tech visionaries and authors, not the real people, and they all come with the disclaimer, "Remember: everything characters say is made up!"
