Is there a conversational AI chat bot that isn't... So horny? Preferably free, but I'll pay a little bit of it's good.

Yes, this is exactly what I've found them to be the most useful for.

Here's a list:

• ChatGPT

Lemmy will hate me for this, but it remains the best chat it there is, especially if you subscribe to the pro version. There's different models but essentially it's just a good bot that will be really helpful giving you feedback on thoughts and ideas.

A to A- tier

• Gemini

Google AI chat bot which seems to be well received recently. I will be an asshole an assume it's not gonna be quite as good but it looks like they're sticking out now.

A- to B+ tier

• Bing / Copilot

Microsoft's AI attempt. It is an AI but it's only OK. Might get enough out of it for your purpose but it already has a long list of hiccups recorded so this is not something I would hang my head on all the time. Because it's got bing integration, generally the AI assisted search can be helpful though.

B tier

• Llama on huggingface

Basically an open source alternative to ChatGPT done well, although not quite as good. This Facebook's work which they are graciously providing free of charge for everyone to enjoy and tinker with. Huggingface is great because you will always find live demos of all the models there so if you are not a power user, in a limited way you can use this model on the website.

Between B and C tier

• Llama self setup

Llama is open source so it is possible to set it up yourself. Using the webui it is possible to do this on your own PC, removing the limitations for conversation speed and message counts. You will be struggling if your graphics card can't entertain the model though (good models eat vram for breakfast). If you have it setup, you will always get the best experience out of the Llama models which might make this worth it.

C tier

Other than those there are a lot of sites offering subscriptions to what is basically a different frontend for chatgpt or other open source models, which is arguably worse than all the options mentioned. There might be some gems in the rough but I haven't looked too far into it. This should give you an introductory overview though which is presumably more helpful to you.

I personally use ChatGPT and I am starting to appreciate it a lot. It does still lead ahead of Llama or anything else.

After reading your comments, it looks like what you're looking for is an AI that remembers your conversations. Generally an AI can only "remember" a specific amount of tokens (words iirc) and it will have amnesia about the rest.

I think the bigger Llama models will have high token cutoff as well as copilot (?) don't quote me on that tho.

We're not at the point where an AI will remember details for over a year from one conversation but if you always open a new conversation for a specific topic, you will already be able to get 90% of the way to where you want.

Good luck on your endeavors ;)
