Crushon.AI announces launch of advanced NSFW chatbot features
Crushon.AI, a platform known for its open-ended, long-memory AI conversations, has announced a new suite of features aimed at enhancing its NSFW chatbot experience. The latest update introduces smarter models, visual interaction capabilities, and expanded customisation - offered entirely free and accessible without the need for user accounts or external API integrations.
The rollout includes support for over 17 advanced AI models - including Claude 3.7, GPT-4o, Claude Haiku, and Ultra Claude 3.5 Sonnet - each designed to respond in varied tones and emotional depths. The system allows users to initiate nuanced conversations with dynamic personalities that evolve in tone and emotional complexity, depending on user preference.
One of the most notable additions is the introduction of visual responsiveness. With this feature, chatbots can now generate image-based replies that reflect emotional states, context, and character-driven prompts - opening new possibilities for narrative exploration and relationship-driven interaction.
Crushon.AI has also implemented tools for building and personalising AI personas through features such as Model Creation, Scene Cards, and Target Play. These allow users to develop characters with detailed emotional logic, memory capacity of up to 16K tokens, and flexible interaction settings - without being restricted by content filters or waitlists.
"This update isn't just about adding features," said Amy Yi, marketing manager at Crushon.AI. "It's about giving users the freedom to create deeply expressive, emotionally rich experiences that evolve with their input. We're bridging the gap between visual storytelling, customisation, and intuitive AI interaction."
This move reflects a broader trend in conversational AI: a shift toward unrestricted creative platforms that prioritise user control, emotional context, and immersive digital experiences.
With this update, Crushon.AI positions itself at the intersection of narrative technology, visual communication, and adult-themed AI development - serving a growing user base looking for deeper, more personalised engagement with AI systems.

Poll finds public turning to AI bots for news updates
People are increasingly turning to generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots like ChatGPT to follow day-to-day news, a respected media report published on Tuesday found. The yearly survey from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism found 'for the first time' that significant numbers of people were using chatbots to get headlines and updates, director Mitali Mukherjee wrote. Attached to Britain's Oxford University, the Reuters Institute annual report is seen as unmissable for people following the evolution of media. Just seven per cent of people report using AI to find news, according to the poll of 97,000 people in 48 countries, carried out by YouGov. But the proportion is higher among the young, at 12 per cent of under-35s and 15 per cent of under-25s. The biggest-name chatbot - OpenAI's ChatGPT - is the most widely used, followed by Google's Gemini and Meta's Llama. Respondents appreciated relevant, personalised news from chatbots. Many more used AI to summarise (27 per cent), translate (24 per cent) or recommend (21 per cent) articles, while almost one in five asked questions about current events. Distrust remains, with those polled on balance saying AI risked making the news less transparent, less accurate and less trustworthy. Rather than being programmed, today's powerful AI 'large language models' (LLMs) are 'trained' on vast quantities of data from the web and other sources - including news media like text articles or video reports. Once trained, they are able to generate text and images in response to users' natural-language queries. But they present problems including 'hallucinations' - the term used when AI invents information that fits patterns in their training data but is not true. Scenting a chance at revenue in a long-squeezed market, some news organisations have struck deals to share their content with developers of AI models. Agence France-Presse (AFP) allows the platform of French AI firm Mistral to access its archive of news stories going back decades. Other media have launched copyright cases against AI makers over alleged illegal use of their content, for example the New York Times against ChatGPT developer OpenAI. The Reuters Institute report also pointed to traditional media - TV, radio, newspapers and news sites - losing ground to social networks and video-sharing platforms. Almost half of 18-24-year-olds report that social media like TikTok is their main source of news, especially in emerging countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia and Thailand. The institute found that many are still using Elon Musk-owned social media platform X for news, despite a rightward shift since the world's richest man took it over. 'Many more right-leaning people, notably young men, have flocked to the network, while some progressive audiences have left or are using it less frequently,' the authors wrote. Some 23 per cent of people in the United States reported using X for news, up eight per cent on 2024's survey, with usage also rising in countries like Australia and Poland. By contrast, 'rival networks like Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon are making little impact globally, with reach of two percent or less for news', the Reuters Institute found. FACSIMILES OF THE DEAD: Christopher Pelkey was shot and killed in a road range incident in 2021. On May 8, 2025, at the sentencing hearing for his killer, an AI video reconstruction of Pelkey delivered a victim impact statement. The trial judge reported being deeply moved by this performance and issued the maximum sentence for manslaughter. As part of the ceremonies to mark Israel's 77th year of independence on April 30, 2025, officials had planned to host a concert featuring four iconic Israeli singers. All four had died years earlier. The plan was to conjure them using AI-generated sound and video. The dead performers were supposed to sing alongside Yardena Arazi, a famous and still very much alive artist. In the end Arazi pulled out, citing the political atmosphere, and the event didn't happen. In April, the BBC created a deep-fake version of the famous mystery writer Agatha Christie to teach a 'maestro course on writing.' Fake Agatha would instruct aspiring murder mystery authors and 'inspire' their 'writing journey.' The use of artificial intelligence to 'reanimate' the dead for a variety of purposes is quickly gaining traction. Over the past few years, the moral implications of AI is under study at the Center for Applied Ethics at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and these AI reanimations are found to be morally problematic. The first moral quandary the technology raises has to do with consent: Would the deceased have agreed to do what their likeness is doing? Would the dead Israeli singers have wanted to sing at an Independence ceremony organized by the nation's current government? Agencies

Addison Rae on her debut album, reinvention, and leaving TikTok stardom behind
A couple of years ago, when Addison Rae went to pitch herself for a deal with Columbia Records, pop stardom was not a guarantee. She was best known as one of TikTok's breakout stars, someone who had used the app to catapult from anonymity to ubiquity, but as a dancer and personality — not a musician. And some early demo recordings she didn't love had recently leaked online, and she wanted to distance herself from them. So instead of presenting a set of sonic ideas, she came into the meeting with a mood board in a binder. First there were the descriptors: words like 'intentional,' 'intense,' 'loud,' 'dance,' 'glitter.' Then there were the colours: aquamarine, hot pink, purple, yellow. And then the screen grabs of superstar live-show touchstones: Britney Spears' 'I'm a Slave 4 U' at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna's Girlie Show tour, and so on. It worked — she landed the deal. But what came next was a conundrum, Rae said in an interview last month on Popcast, The New York Times' music podcast: 'I was like, I know what I want people to feel when they hear my music, but what does that sound like? And what am I going to say?' Those questions set Rae on a year-plus mission of refining her public image, one that was forged in the relentless algorithmic fires of TikTok and that has lately seen her remade as a savvy pop ingenue. Recently, she released 'Addison,' her debut album and one of the year's signature pop releases. It's a breathy, sweaty, urgent album — more a throwback to the sonics of three decades ago than a conversation with contemporary pop. That's because the through line on 'Addison' isn't genre, per se. The music is mostly up-tempo, but in a cool, controlled manner, and the production features frequent little interruptions, places where the songs switch intensities and textures. Rae's vocals are sweet and foggy, as if sung from the outer edge of a dream, but her lyrics are often about the body, about her corporeal presence — a reminder that her career has always been grounded in the physical. And the songs are full of stacked harmonies, creating a warm swaddle of ethereality. But perhaps more meaningful are the music videos, which are steeped in the opulence of girlhood — flirtatious dances and callbacks to vintage glamour, body gems and moping on the beach, expensive gowns and the enticements of illicit substances. In Rae's songs, there are echoes of Lana Del Rey, and also Madonna, but the character she's been developing over the last year is something not quite beholden to any of her influences. What has seemed like the cool-washing of Addison Rae was in fact a kind of molting of an older identity. Rae, 24, was born Addison Rae Easterling and grew up in Louisiana, where she was a competitive dancer from a young age. She began posting on TikTok right at the end of high school. Quickly, she began treating it like a job, sometimes sharing up to eight videos a day, focusing ruthlessly on trending dances and music. 'When I reflect back on that time,' she said, 'I've recognised how much choice and taste is kind of a luxury. 'I was definitely strategic with it,' she added. 'It was a lot about like, 'How am I just going to get out of here?' It wasn't about like, 'Let me show the intricacies of myself right now.'' Pursuing her own taste, whatever that might have been, wasn't an option — 'a sacrifice that had to be made,' she said. Of her peers, Rae has landed the most firmly on her feet, perhaps the only one to truly understand success on the app as a funnel for attention rather than a reflection of a specific skill set. Off the phone screen, she starred in a Netflix film, 'He's All That,' in 2021; she has had a podcast and a makeup line; and she's recently been filming for 'Animal Friends,' a movie with Aubrey Plaza and Ryan Reynolds, due later this year. As far back as 2020, though, Rae was writing and recording music. 'Pretty much from the jump, I was like, 'I don't want to cut demos, I want to write,'' she said. 'So I at least know what I'm doing, or can connect with the things that I'm singing. Especially because I was so new to it.' In 2021, she released her first single, 'Obsessed' — 'Perfectly pulsing, pithy and pleasant Pelotoncore,' The New York Times said — which caused a slight stir, but petered out. 'I actually think one day 'Obsessed' will get its 'Stars Are Blind' moment,' she said, referring to the once-derided, now-embraced Paris Hilton single. Despite the negative feedback, she kept writing. 'I didn't let it get to me that much,' she said. 'Me not stopping writing was kind of me being like, 'OK, well, I'll show you.'' The following year, oodles of her leaked recordings — 'day-one demos, pretty much' — hit the internet. For Rae, it was frustrating, but also free market research. Fans picked their favourites — 'I've actually seen people make CDs,' Rae said — and Charli XCX reached out to ask to contribute a verse on one of them, '2 Die 4.' The leaks turned Rae from a try-hard would-be pop diva into a cult favourite. 'People were like, 'Wait, why do I kind of like this?'' she said, almost bashfully. Eventually, Rae independently released an EP, 'AR,' collecting some of those songs. Rae met Swedish songwriter-producers Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser, who are part of the powerhouse hitmaker Max Martin's publishing camp, last year after signing her record deal. The first day they worked together, they made the hook for what would turn into 'Diet Pepsi.' 'My biggest goal is to never feel like I'm referencing an exact song or artist,' she said, noting that a mood can be struck by the simple deployment of a familiar-sounding instrument that evokes an era, in this case the early '90s. 'We used an M1 on a lot of the songs,' she said, referring to the Korg instrument, 'and that was a very popular thing that was used on a lot of those great songs that I love.' But when pushed to describe what the pure pop icons she admires — Madonna, Gaga, Britney, Prince, Janet — have in common, her answer was 'commitment.' Which is to say — commitment to a sound, commitment to a style, commitment to a fully inhabited presentation. Her palate has also earned her the respect of some of her elders: Lorde has praised her, Del Rey posted a video listening to 'Diet Pepsi' and Charli XCX invited her to appear on a remix, which included a wild shriek from Rae, one of the defining pop sounds of last year. But rather than coming off like Rae siphoning credibility from her elders, it's actually the more established stars who are cottoning to her, to bask in the glow of her aura. Which is to say — her growing-cult success so far has appeared to answer the question of whether a person who became famous in one arena can ever be cleansed of that fame and offered the opportunity to thrive anew. In essence, whether they can be forgiven. Rae understands, but would rather treat her old life as a steppingstone, not an albatross. Wilder waters await. 'I have this luxury now to be able to play and explore,' she said. 'To be weird or be introspective or be playful and curious and like a chameleon. 'I can do what I want here now — you know?'

President Trump extends TikTok deadline for third time
US President Donald Trump will this week give TikTok a fresh 90-day extension to find a non-Chinese buyer, the White House said Tuesday, the third time he has put off a threatened ban on the popular app. A federal law requiring TikTok's sale or ban on national security grounds was due to take effect the day before Trump's January inauguration. "President Trump will sign an additional Executive Order this week to keep TikTok up and running. As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "This extension will last 90 days, which the administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure." Trump, whose 2024 election campaign relied heavily on social media, has previously said he is fond of the video sharing app. "I have a little warm spot in my heart for TikTok," Trump said in an NBC News interview in early May. "If it needs an extension, I would be willing to give it an extension." Digital Cold War? Trump said at the time that a group of purchasers was ready to pay TikTok owner ByteDance "a lot of money" for the video-clip-sharing sensation's US operations. Trump has repeatedly downplayed risks that TikTok is in danger, saying he remains confident of finding a buyer for the app's US business. The president is "just not motivated to do anything about TikTok," said independent analyst Rob Enderle. "Unless they get on his bad side, TikTok is probably going to be in pretty good shape." Trump had long supported a ban or divestment, but reversed his position and vowed to defend the platform after coming to believe it helped him win young voters' support in the November election. Motivated by national security fears and belief in Washington that TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government, the ban took effect on January 19, one day before Trump's inauguration, with ByteDance having made no attempt to find a suitor. TikTok "has become a symbol of the US-China tech rivalry; a flashpoint in the new Cold War for digital control," said Shweta Singh, an assistant professor of information systems at Warwick Business School in Britain. The Republican president announced an initial 75-day delay of the ban upon taking office. A second extension pushed the deadline to June 19. Tariff turmoil Trump said in April that China would have agreed to a deal on the sale of TikTok if it were not for a dispute over his tariffs on Beijing. ByteDance has confirmed talks with the US government, saying key matters needed to be resolved and that any deal would be "subject to approval under Chinese law". Possible solutions reportedly include seeing existing US investors in ByteDance roll over their stakes into a new independent global TikTok company. Additional US investors, including Oracle and private equity firm Blackstone, would be brought on to reduce ByteDance's share in the new TikTok. Much of TikTok's US activity is already housed on Oracle servers, and the company's chairman, Larry Ellison, is a longtime Trump ally. Uncertainty remains, particularly over what would happen to TikTok's valuable algorithm. "TikTok without its algorithm is like Harry Potter without his wand -- it's simply not as powerful," said Forrester Principal Analyst Kelsey Chickering. Meanwhile, it appears TikTok is continuing with business as usual.
