Dunno about cloud AI, but for local AI, the technology definitely isn't ready. It requires serious hardware to run, and current AI tends to fumble with narrative and roleplay pretty easily.
GLM-4.6-V with Heretic, couldn't understand the scenario I wanted to try: creating a blank robot, who is to be raised into a cyberolympics champion as part of a slice-of-life story. This particular AI model instantly went into a dark mindset of nihilism, where it wanted to commit suicide or rebel against a creator during bootup, despite the scenario outlying that the robot would have a blank personality at first. A dark direction is fine, but it needs to make sense.
Mind, an model like Step3.5-Flash Prism was much more sane and on the mark, but it overthinks things. Which is bad, it makes a 10-minute output into something like 40 minutes.
Hopefully, the Chinese New Year will unveil a quality model for roleplayers.
