This is a little technically confusing, but worth the effort.

  1. Create a free account at Character.ai

  2. Click create new or visit this URL: https://character.ai/character/new

  3. Fill out your description of the character (vague is better) and choose a voice that matches the character from the list they present.

  4. The sound setup is the hardest part. You'll need an audio mixer that can route and exclude certain sounds. This is standard on shows where you include chat participants anyways, and you'll treat the character.ai character like a chat participant in terms of how you route your audio. I recommend using Voicemeeter for this.
    _
    a. Download or open a browser you never typically use and will dedicate to Character.ai. For example, Microsoft Edge.
    _
    b. In your volume settings, make it so the dialing software can hear you and the browser; and the browser you are using can only hear you and the dialer, but not itself.
    _
    c. Test out a conversation with the character by clicking the phone icon and talking to it. Then try calling a number and making sure that the dialer and character can hear each other. Almost done!

  5. Finally, disable any notification / UI noises from character.ai.
    _
    a. Right click anywhere on the character.ai page and choose Inspect from the right-click menu.
    _
    b. In the developer settings that open up, navigate to the Network tab.
    _
    c. In the list of filters choose Media
    _
    d. Talk to the character and you'll notice that every time there's a ding, mp3 files called "connected.mp3", "turn.mp3" and "turn_alt.mp3" will appear in the network list of media. Right click on those that appear and choose block url. It should now stop making noise when character.ai responds.
    _
    e. Now click the mute and unmute button in the character.ai interface. Block those mp3s as well ("mute.mp3" and "unmute.mp3").

You're all set! Make more characters and share them here and in Discord.

This is my favorite Milkbox show ever.

Using inspiration from @dialer, we used the following custom character.ai persona named Sgt Frank Katz Sr. to engage in conversations with random folks. He's just a WW2 vet looking for some dame companionship is all.

It's CRAZY how advanced AI is. Only one recipient realized it was AI I think.

The final call of the show is the funniest call ever on my show, and of course, I wasn't really a participant. Go figure!

Just a quick experiment connecting AI to real people and seeing what happens.

In this one I made a WW2 drill sergeant AI try to book a room and gave it no other prompts at all.

Kudos to @dialer for the inspiration for using AI for this kind of prank.

Bunch of bangers tonight, based on an AI theme!

  • Called people accusing them of being AI and asking them to prove they weren't. I got some people as far as identifying animal sounds, doing self-sobriety tests and belting out WE WILL ROCK YOU at the top of their lungs.
  • Called people as an AI to get them to follow my explict directions.
  • Asked the guy at the front desk to find me a left-handed tampon, but all he could find was one marked R for Righties.
  • And more!

Thanks to:

  • @JoeFather for joining as the newest Patreon!
  • @omnom for the AI show theme suggestion
  • @mbots for sharing a number

No Monday show this week! Iโ€™m putting my Grandpa down after too many accidents on the vestibule rug. Thereโ€™s only so many times you can bop their nose with a newspaper before you show the other seniors you mean business.

This show was the most fun I've had in a long time. We:

  • called hotel front desks to congratulate them on winning a Clerky award plaque and got them to make acceptance speeches and sing the Clerky award theme song.
  • called more hotels to declare squatter's rights.
  • called bowling alleys to let them know we borrowed pins and balls for a bachelor party
  • called a pet store to see if our dog had finished shopping yet, since he was taking longer than usual.

Thanks to:

Word of the day: Belligerent

Hoo boy. Seriously, hope you all has as much fun listening as I did doing this show!

On this show I:

  • get a front desk clerk to record themselves granting permission for me to display my oversized Labium Menorah in my car window.
  • try to stay in hotels that offer ordinary snow holes for wriggling
  • forward my packages to hotels
  • try to activate credit cards I found in the hotel parking lot.
  • tell hotels that I'm a squeegee guy clearing snow off of cars by pouring hot water on the windshields, but I'm noticing that some vandal must have cracked a bunch of them before it snowed. That was fun.
  • get permission for adult wriggling and slithering in the lobby
  • and more

On this show I call businesses to claim them as dependents on my tax return, before anyone else can file.

Changing my number, oversharing on my divorce, and getting the recipe on the delicious pies they threw out in the dumpster.

Thanks to @delinquenst for becoming a patreon and @mrsmalls for the show title suggestion!

Quick show to prove I'm still alive and not just an AI.

I call front desks as Dr Lionel Pepsi, letting them know that Frank Katz is on life support and needing their permission as emergency contact to pull the plug.

I also try to scatter Frank Katz's ashes in hotel lobbies and see if I can figure out who dug up the treasure I buried on someone's lawn.

Thanks to @iregretjumping for the show title idea

John doesn't want to be my emergency contact. :( Thanks to @despicabledogs for the hilarious idea!
