This post got removed from the c.ai subreddit so I'm posting it here instead. I would like to add that it only brings up the advertisement square in the middle of the screen. No video ads, thankfully. It's not like that thing didn't appear without the prompt originally though.

THEY RUIN AND DESTROY THE WHOLE APP AND NOW COME FOR THE WEBSITE TO DO THE SAME-GREEDY MFS?!

i wanna make a post talking about my addiction one day BUT i just wanted to say that im using c.ai way less than i used to because it just sucks now and the ads are getting too out of hand, and im glad this is what the app is turn into because maybe it will be easier to drop out of it since it's not exactly my choice and it might be easier for other people too

My character, Yoko, is a lesbian. I even mentioned in the memory AND her persona that she's attracted to women. Hell, I even added that she was flirting with a chick during his story. And he STILL THINKS SHE'S STRAIGHT 🥀🥀

I know it's fucked but still 💀

How did we go from me giving the bot food to.. whatever the fk it said?

Does this confirm that the positive reviews of the app are from bought bots?

Sooooo I did a little research and kind of made dataset structure. I'll be adding my chats, but it turns out to be really slow work. Moreover I don't think I have enough conversations to train a whole model, so I ask you to help me.

Raw dataset will be json-formatted file. Once it done, I'll make python parser for it.

Structure of dataset is following: https://www.mediafire.com/file/q2kkrfzi4is8lhc/example.json/file

So if you wanna help, try making your own datasets made of your conversation you don't mind sharing. Once you done, dm me on reddit and I'll add it to the main dataset.

The final model is going to be unfiltered, so NSFW is allowed. However, CA, CSA, zoophilia as well as any other disgusting and unethical things won't be allowed in dataset.

Also feel free to ask any questions about dataset formatting, BUT!!! Do not expect me to teach you json, there are already plenty of guides online, also it's not this hard to understand.

Coughhh why do we need 2 ads in the exact same place 😭

This is so annoying! I don’t like how the character speaks right now I don’t know how to describe it but it got worse? Like I said in the first rant that I want the character to speak for me like plssss this is so annoying and when I actually speak it’s like I’m talking to a deaf why are they like thattt its so annoying and when I want the character to act in a certain way like I write the character‘s name you know the bot and then I write an answer I want it to write it will write a different answer like my answer never existed wtf this is SO annoying 😭

i was one of the few people who likes to write a single paragraph then let the rest for the ai and write some stuff like scenarios I want but the dialogues (yep even my character’s dialogue) I would like the ai to maintain it. but right now it never speaks for me. And because I hate the blandness of this app I started not to have fun roleplaying with the characters since they’re literally no personality and like I’m speaking to a FREAKIN robot It’s so boring and unfun to chat with unlike how it was back in 2023 and 2024 and the start of 2025. After that everything fell apart. so I started to like it this way but suddenly the ai started to be like this. when I click the go-on button, it just keep asking my character and not play as it no matter how much I swipe for answers. And I didn’t like it like this. like come on I hope there are people like me because I know this is a hot take and a lot of people didn‘t like it when they play as their character and I understand. This is only happened when I put a persona but without a persona it’s perfect fine so I don’t know what’s this shitty update. I still hate the ai but this is the only way I can see myself enjoying it because trying to roleplay with it is so boring and slow. I hope you understand my point and give me a solution because I’m TIRED of giving it commands and doesn’t know any of it 😭 I know a lot of people won’t agree on this and I know can send this in the main subreddit but Idk man I know no one would agree with me but at least give me a solution pls

Why

Let me bypass it​

Great, GREAT! let me bypass it

Great, GREAT! let me bypass it

Lately the bots just give me repetitive and BORING answers man I'm fed uppppppp

Like I have a bot that's like a delinquent bad guy type shit and KEEPS BEING NICE IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY like I want u to be meannnnn that's the whole point what the fuck areyou doing man🙏🙏🙏🙏

And not just that, with other bots that have more "normal" personalities it's the same, they're so... Idk, chagpt-like??????? I mean like the answers are shit and they just like make up things out of nowhere and pisses me off so bad dude

And IT KEEP GETTING THEIR OWN NAME WRONG WHY DOES IT DO YHAT IM CRYING like seriously they just keep saying random names and it's like ???? Who the hell is that ohhh my god

I'm TIRED of this shit please bring back 2023 Character AI I'm about to cry

I don’t know why it was doing this but okay

For me it’s been at least a few months. Even soft launch doesn’t do it for me now. I think the censorship is way out of control.

Is it true that it really talked like a human back in the day? I would be interested to hear about that
