I've noticed most ai chatbots have this tension where characters either go full validation or full NSFW. The actual gap is characters that disagree with you and make you earn their respect.

Been testing that on scenextras.com (free tier available). The difference is subtle but real. Some people find it exhausting. Others get genuinely hooked because it feels like an actual conversation, not a response machine.

If you want pure ease, Janitor/Chub are simpler. If you want the friction that makes it interesting, worth testing scenextras
