Key points

  • AI companion products are stateless; model updates cause users to lose a sense of a specific personality.
  • Current architectures prevent co-evolution; the model is shared and does not change per user.
  • A true AI companion needs a 'resident' entity that evolves with the user and lives on user-controlled infrastructure.
  • Users effectively rent relationships from companies, which can alter or deprecate them at any time.
