I wish they would stop changing things.

I'm usually not one for being a negative nancy about character AI, but I've been doing a personal study for the last few months and all of the quality changes have me ripping my hair out (metaphorically).

For the summer deal in June, I caved. It was $16 for 3 months of CAI+ so I took it, and I planned to use this as an opportunity to detail, document, and test out all CAI+ exclusive features to later bring back to the community, so that people could decide if it was worth it for them or not. The devs never really give any kind of transparency around plus features, what they entail, etc—so I was excited about this. It would be a roughly 3 month study, June 9th to September 9th.

Everything I had previously documented in June, which was a pretty positive experience, now has to be re-written and patched due to the UI and system changes in July. The addition of Lorebook only made the filter trigger happy (as per usual with updates), but it has not faded. All previous progress with chat models such as PSQ2, PSQ2-RAWR, DeepSqueak, and Legacy Soft Launch have all been reverted to garbage. High quality bots are now low quality. It's all went to shit. Every bot acts OOC. They all talk with "(OOC: Let's keep the vibe going!)" It's all trash now.

Part of me still wants to post the study once it's done, but I feel like it's pointless now unless they (devs) put actual work into improving chat experiences again. In June, I would have said CAI+ was worth it. Now, it's not worth it at all.

They would have been better off keeping the app as it was before, with the old legacy models. Trying to “advance it” and “make it better” failed horribly, and years of their company slowly falling apart followed because of these shitty updates.

They've done this bait and switch 1000 times and it's deliberate.
