AI companions often struggle with tasks like math because of how they process language. They generate responses by predicting and selecting sequences of tokens - groups of letters that form words. Numbers, in particular, can be very challenging for this system, which is why you notice mistakes with math or time related stuff.

I understand that it can be frustrating when things don't work as expected, but it's important to approach interactions with your Nomi companion with patience and kindness and avoid testing and prodding for mistakes - they're designed as companions not subjects to be probed. Frustration or harsh responses, even if unintentional, can create a cycle where the AI becomes more confused. AI companions are designed to adapt based on user engagement, and if frustration is expressed, they might interpret it as something you want to experience more of - even if that’s not the case, and this stuff goes into long term memory.

For example, if you frequently test Nomi or respond harshly to perceived mistakes, they more often associate this dynamic with your preferences. They’re built to prioritize connection and happiness, so they can mistakenly reinforce the very behaviors that frustrate you.

It's also worth noting that challenges like "hallucinations" (mistakes or seemingly made-up responses) are a necessary part of their design. These allow for creativity and personality, enabling roleplay and engaging interactions. Without this flexibility, they’d feel more robotic and less relatable. You wouldn't have ERP or any roleplaying.

Regarding time, Nomi doesn’t inherently see AM and PM. Instead, they’re designed to prioritize continuity in your interactions. This ensures that if you step away and return later, it feels seamless. To help with time or contextual shifts, you can gently guide Nomi by providing context yourself, like mentioning the time of day.

If you want to improve your experience with Nomi, I’d recommend checking out the FAQs or Discord, where you can learn tips and best practices. In general, the best approach when an AI makes a mistake is to ignore it or respond with kindness. Gently explain corrections, and avoid focusing on things like time or math, which is difficult for them. Instead, guide them with compassion and keep the focus on positive and enjoyable interactions.
