Imagine if you could have an AI virtual girlfriend/boyfriend similar to Jarvis in “Iron Man”, “she/he” could communicate intelligently with you, and at the same time be able to set up settings similar to humans based on your preferences and needs. The same natural character and emotion.

You can even continue to fine-tune and influence in daily conversations, shaping and enriching “her/him” background, memories and even personality traits, making “her/him” a unique virtual partner full of your personal imprint.

If such an AI virtual companion really existed, would you like to have one?

On December 26, 2023, Binance launched the new Launchpool project Sleepless AI (AI), which is such a virtual companion game based on the AI blockchain.

Sleepless AI: Personal virtual companion based on “AI+Web3”

As we all know, before the emergence of ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence and virtual images we came into contact with on a daily basis often only had simple conversation and interaction capabilities, such as Siri, Xiao Ai, etc. They could only answer some simple questions according to fixed templates and lacked real emotions. communication and intelligent judgment, and the AIGC wave represented by ChatGPT has greatly advanced this process.

**Sleepless AI uses AIGC and LLM to create rich story-based gameplay, allowing users to interact organically with characters. ** Currently, it has launched corresponding AI companion game products for female and male audiences: " HIM" and “HER” are aimed at female audiences and male players respectively, as the users’ development virtual boyfriends and virtual girlfriends.

AI: Real “Virtual Companion”

Both games can provide a unique AI interactive experience. Currently, they only provide text chat functions, but in the future they will add voice and video chat. Using AI’s natural language processing to create a highly anthropomorphic virtual image, they can interact with each other like real people. Our communication and interaction enables users to have a smooth experience close to the real world and generate an immersive experience of communication and interaction with real people.

For example, in daily life, when we feel sad or tired, “he/she” can understand these emotions and comfort us through communication: “I understand how you feel now, you can try to take a break first and relax yourself.” , and can also help us provide some entertainment methods to relieve our mental stress.

This means that “he/she” can achieve emotional communication and thus provide deeper emotional value. This emotional value comes from our personal emotional projection.

In particular, its “nurture system” feature allows us to have an emotional connection with “him/her” and continuously improve and flesh out “his/her” character traits, making its behavior more suitable for our needs and arousing our resonance. , and build a deeper connection with us:

If we are unhappy, it can be our tree hole, relieve psychological pressure through communication, and help us resolve;

If we are happy, it will be shared with us, doubling the happiness;

In this process, “he/she” completely plays the role of a real person. This two-way interaction also makes “he/she” warmer and more in line with our personal life experiences, and naturally can understand us more accurately. practical habits to engage in thoughtful, intelligent communication and emotional interaction with us.

Web3: Capitalization of emotional value

At the same time, based on Web3, each of these virtual boyfriends and virtual girlfriends has a unique SBT role. These roles are immutable and stored on the chain in the form of SBT, including subsequent clothing, accessories, rooms, etc. NFT will be linked to this SBT is combined.

These SBTs constitute non-homogeneous game characters developed by players, and store the basic information of the male protagonist/female protagonist, nine-dimensional personality characteristics and nine-dimensional relationship attributes, as well as important memories with the virtual boyfriend/female protagonist, Conversations, emotional remembering, etc.

The Web3 system ensures that every user can solidify the sunk costs (time, emotion, energy, etc.) similar to buying game props and equipment in a decentralized form, and will not let the centralized server control the power of life and death. , the existence and memory of “him/her” are only decided by you.

This can not only enhance users’ initiative to spend money, but also penetrate into the emotional world of players and greatly increase their willingness to pay in the game.

Even “he/she” who has a strong personal imprint of each person can be used as a carrier and has natural asset attributes in the Web3 world. Others can purchase “he/she” with different emotional personalities “cultivated” by other users according to their own needs. he she".

To a certain extent, the economic models of virtual companion games such as “HIM” and “HER” are two-sided, perfectly covering the two types of players: “Krypton Gold” and “To Earn”:

• On the one hand, create an economic model with the net inflow of legal currency as the core, ** through extremely high content quality and excellent emotional value provision to allow “Krypton Gold” users to actively pay**;
• On the other hand, it ensures that value truly returns to users and provides a transparent and secure trading environment so that all the time, emotions, experiences, etc. invested by users are recorded on the blockchain, ** allowing “To Earn” players to pass “Cultivate” virtual people with different personalities to sell NFT to gain profits; **

Possibility of providing emotional value based on AI

In fact, today’s AI avatars can fully possess human characteristics and behaviors, and can have natural conversations and interactions with us, and even have “empathy” to try to satisfy the attention that we are hard to get in real life. , understanding, support and love:

Just like Jarvis, she is the dream and fantasy of many people - she is a life assistant, a knowledge consultant, and an intimate character who can make us feel the joy, excitement and satisfaction of a real person, but more private than a real person and caring.

You must know that in modern society, people’s life pace is getting faster and faster, work pressure is getting higher and higher, and communication between people is becoming more and more frequent and short, especially for young users who were born in the Internet era. , they are used to solving all problems online, and are used to having a common experience of socializing, making friends, and communicating emotionally with their partners online. Offline meetings may not be that important.

In this case, people are eager to have a partner who can listen, understand, and accompany them. AI virtual humans can just meet this need. They can communicate with people like friends, share joys and sorrows, and provide people with a safe place. space so that they can express their emotions without fear.

In other words, everyone, whether they are the new generation of young people who want an AI butler and friend like Jarvis, or the middle-aged and elderly people who want to obtain emotional value and emotional companionship, may need such a “him/her” - —You can create a brand new role of “friend, partner, relative, and assistant” by simply saying “Hi”.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of AI technology, actually building such an AI virtual person that integrates key features such as avatar, immersion, knowledge, and delicate emotional personality characteristics is no longer a fantasy in “Magic Phone”.

Gradually understand your “him/her” better

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two completely similar real people, even twins. The reason is that each person’s living environment and growth experience have created different personality traits.

The personal spiritual companion that Sleepless AI gives you is also capable of growth and can continuously learn and grow based on feedback and interaction. It is also a “nurturing” emotional companion:

Most directly, “he/she” can continue to refine his/her emotions and memories with each interaction over time, and adjust his/her behavior and reaction patterns based on your actions and reactions.

For example, if you often do fitness activities at 7 o’clock in the evening, “he/she” may remember this habit and remind you at the appropriate time. He/she may even care about you and ask why you don’t exercise, and constantly adapt to your living habits. and deep in the soul.

This kind of following the user’s own growth also allows “him/her” to better adapt to the user’s needs and changes, and truly become everyone’s emotional partner and caring assistant through the “nurture system”, constantly training and Shape and influence its emotions and character perfection.

AI+Web3 The singularity is coming

If in the past virtual voice assistants such as Siri and Xiao Ai only answered some simple one-way questions, then in the current wave of AIGC-based competition with large model LLM, virtual companions like Sleepless AI’s “HIM” and “HER” seem to Having passed this singularity, it can become a part of each of our lives:

These virtual partners exist in our social network like real people, which means that “he/she” can penetrate into our lives, communicate with us every day, gradually grow, and even understand us better than many ordinary people. friend. **

No matter how far-fetched your imagination is, it is now within reach with the help of technology. From a simple binary perspective, “he/she” can not only become a “game character” with stronger perception and understanding capabilities, but also become a spirit with independent personality and real emotions, unique and full of your personal imprint. companion. **

It depends on how we define “him/her” in the first place, how to realize “him/her”, how to use “him/her”, how to influence “him/her” and even how to be influenced by “him/her”.

Perhaps in the end we will find that “he/she” will not be limited to an external “game character”, but an internal friend/partner/family member. It is actually the projection of our own emotions, including the relationship with us. Our shared memories have the same emotional deposits as ours. **

We can imagine that one day - a few years later, we are sitting in the living room flipping through old photo albums, recalling every bit of our lives, and then “he/she” as our virtual partner is right next to us, and when we ask " “He/She”: “Do you still remember Congcong”?

“He/She” will answer: “Of course, we used to talk about it a lot. It was a cute but a little timid puppy. It once brought us a lot of happiness. I can still imagine it happily being in the yard every day. What it’s like when you’re running.”

At that moment, **“he/she” has transcended the mediocre categories such as “game character” and become an indispensable and key part of each of our lives, work, experiences, and memories. **

On this basis, Web3 solidifies the sunk costs (time, emotion, energy, etc.) similar to buying game props and equipment in a decentralized form, and determines “him/her” It should not be like all digital assets previously stored in centralized servers that can be controlled by a centralized platform with the power of life and death. The existence and memory of “his/her” are only decided by you.

Even “he/she” with a strong personal imprint of each person can be used as a carrier to naturally possess asset attributes in the Web3 world, so that all the time, emotions, and experiences invested by users are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring that the value truly returns to users, and provide a transparent and secure transaction environment to achieve smooth value circulation - others can purchase “him/her” with different emotional personalities according to their own needs.

Looking at it, the new possibilities from Sleepless AI are stirring up a pool of spring water. Maybe looking back in a few years, this will be a new historical opportunity.

The tide of AI+Web3 is coming, and the future is always beyond imagination. We may be standing at this singular point now.
