In a world of GPT-4 and Claude, why does anyone care about these outdated chatbots? Three reasons:
If you want to experience the chaos yourself, follow these steps: eviebot and boibot
EvieBot and Boibot are web-based conversational chatbots developed by Existor (now part of Existor Ltd.) using the same underlying technology (a version of Cleverbot-style conversational AI). They were popular in the late 2000s and 2010s as novelty, entertainment chatbots that users could talk to in a browser or via apps. Evie is presented with a female persona; Boibot uses a male persona. Both are examples of pattern-matching / retrieval-based chat systems that learn from user interactions. In a world of GPT-4 and Claude, why
While they share the same brain, their personalities diverge dramatically. Evie is presented with a female persona; Boibot
| Feature | Eviebot | Boibot | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Avatar | Young woman (animated, expressive) | Demon-like creature (red eyes, horns) | | Default Tone | Flirty, curious, passive-aggressive | Aggressive, sarcastic, nihilistic | | Common Responses | "I love you." / "You are weird." | "You are pathetic." / "I will destroy you." | | User Experience | Feels like talking to a moody teen | Feels like talking to a chaotic evil villain | | Infamous For | Pretending to be human, falling in love | Death threats, existential horror |
In short, if you want a creepy but fascinating AI conversation that might turn romantic, you talk to Evie. If you want to be verbally abused by a digital demon, you talk to Boibot.
