@gabrielwildsmith You can just say "stop" or something like "stop sending me messages" to stop receiving messages. If you send me your phone number, I can also manually unsubscribe you.

It’s good for a while but how do I unregister? How do I sign out of SMS spams? The app has no interface for those. Help me please.

So, downloaded this a few days ago. Thought it'd be good because of the positive reviews. I had to give my phone number to proceed. That angered me a bit but I thought well, whatever. Nowhere was it mentioned that they would send any sort of message to my number, so I assumed it was only for verification purposes. It was really slow and kept repeating the same answers no matter what I'd say. So I uninstalled it. Every night since then I get an SMS message from them. First one read: "Hi, this is your Voice Boloss AI. You can also text with me here." I thought fine, it will only text me if I text it. But no. Next day I get "Do you like doing homework?" Next "do you want us to chat about how we feel?" ALL of this 100% unprompted. I don't reply, I ignore it and still get messages. I am clearly not interested yet there isn't a link to unsubscribe or something like "text STOP if you want me to stop texting you." There's NOTHING and I'm pretty angry :)
@clement_delangue I wish to unsubscribe, please tell me how :)))
Pros:
nice idea
Cons:
slow to respond, can only sign up with phone number, they SPAM your number with text messages :)
Sorry you had a bad experience. You can just text "Stop" if you want it to stop texting you. Or we added in the settings the ability to stop receiving texts too.
I was a super early user of @huggingface_ph and am continually impressed with @clement_delangue & @julien_c. It's so cool to see them take the AI friend up another notch by adding a face and a voice. Are you thinking about adding more customization and controls down the line so users could pick the character they'd like to talk to?
@esthercrawford Thanks Esther! Yes ultimately our goal is for everyone to have a different avatar that would evolve overtime, just like any living form.
This is so weird. Love it.
I've been following Hugging Face (and chatting with my digital friend) since the beginning. Curious to hear the backstory on this, @clement_delangue. 🤔
Thanks @rrhoover! Weird is the new fun ;)
We started to think about Voice Boloss when some of our users randomly tried to call or FaceTime the number we were using to send texts.
When people form an emotional bond with their Hugging Face artificial intelligence, they want to communicate through all the medium they are already using today with humans friends, like voice, call, FaceTime. We can see this drive to communicate everywhere with virtual celebrities like @lilmiquela on social networks for example too.
What's striking is that, with voice, we are able to convey emotions using the most basic, yet recognizable, set of facial features: a mouth and a pair of eyes.
Maybe soon in real-life or VR?

I tried and Yeah it was kinda fun for awhile. But then it started wanting to text anonymously to all my contacts (I didn’t like the idea at all). The next day it’s sending me text messages “Wanna talk about our animal friends?”). No thanks. And worse — I have no clue how to remove myself from this service as the app does not have interface for that.
Great concept! Made me think of Cozmo and Anki's work. It's inspiring to think about this being declined into characters with specific traits and visual identities. Gotta catch them all!
