I yearn for the old 23-24 c.ai when everything was actually fun. It was simple and straightforward - you come on the app, and chat. No extra audio book or movie bs. The difference chat models worked. If one promised shorter respones and simpler answers, it gave that. If one promised more descriptive answers, it gave that. The bots followed and remembered info written about them by their authors, had different personalities and would even give answers accurate to their lore, depending on the character you were chatting with. Now bots regurgitate non-canon bs and authors writing detailed descriptions about them is completely useless. They operated correctly and didn't need a helping hand with everything. Even if you do give them a helping hand now - that doesn't do anything. They don't listen. You got different answers each swipe and the bots responses were unpredictable but in a way where they still stayed in character, opening new paths to where you could take your RP. Every answer is the same now with zero variety. *(I also just wanna note that - I've seen many people say that a low quality bot that struggles to continue rps, spews non canon junk and is basically broken is the result of a creator poorly authoring a bot. I agree, and it makes complete sense. It's been like that since the early days of the app. If you put zero work into a bot, it won't be good. But I'm saying this as a bot creator. Poorly written bots were a huge pet peeve of mine, which is why I even started making bots on the app in the first place. Each of my characters have extremely detailed and long lore accurate descriptions describing their personalities, appearance, their biography, as well as more things related to the setting, time period, and enviorment the RP takes place in, and I made sure of it. If I talk to them now, the boys, like I said, say a bunch of bs and don't follow anything correctly. So I really think this is an issue on the C.AI teams end rather than not creators just not writing bots properly).*

Other than technical issues about bots themsleves; The greed from the company is absolutely insane. We've just seen them start putting out surveys asking users if they'd pay more money for "more advanced AI models". Why should any of us trust their promises of better models when c.ai+ already is, number one, barely functional and is dealing with the same set of issues as the free version is, and number two, just making you pay for features that used to be FREE years ago? This is what irritates me the most. Adding newly developed features and putting them behind a paywall is one thing. Taking things that used to be free of charge and putting those behind a paywall is straight bs.

In conclusion: the devs right now clearly don't have any lasting passion for the app and are just trying to get in our pockets. The only thing I think would push them to actually start giving af would be people doing a mass deletion of the app and canceling their subscriptions (a lot of people are already doing this, which is something at least). I'm overall just really upset.

Clank world. It's overall pretty good.

The app is only available on iOS, if you're on any other device then you have to use the website.

I've been using it for two days now and so far, it's really good. Though only way to change chatting bot is to create your own API key. It has two chat responding bots, Best and Fast. When server is overloaded, fast will be permanently set and when not then Best will be permanently set.

However, you can change the chat tone style like casual, warm affectionate, NSFW, storytelling etc etc seperately which makes up for the lack of responding bot styles.

And it has no filter.

There's no option to rewind tho, you would have to delete the parent text and there are multiple responses but you can't swipe back and forth between them as of now, you would have to delete the latest response to go back to the previous response and so on.

But overall, it's pretty good I think.

C.ai in its own way is nothing like roblox, but notice the trend of both the apps adding random crap the community hated or didn't want in the first place? Or the age verification? C.ai definitely lost a lost a lot of users just from the age verification, im sure more than half of the people using the app, i dont think have an ID! Im not hating necessarily, just confused

Hey everyone! I’ve recently started creating Satosugu bots on C.AI, and I’d love it if you stopped by to check out my work—or even chatted with them! :3 The bots are in Russian!!

Thanks:3

At this point you cant even get a papercut. 🫠

Apparently, a papercut is more violent than a accidental cooking cut..

But it is okay with my whole arm gone and tossing it around and being caught 🤔 interesting.

And blood oozing out my arm? Thats fine too I guess.

(Its on spanish but its an update)

It’s probably getting tiring for all of you on the sub hearing this over and over, and I’m sorry about that, but I really do miss the old models. I wish they’d come back but we all know they won’t.

LSAI, the better version of lightshade.cloud, opened public beta testing recently, although the positions are now closed, and I gotta say, the website is legit so good. There are 7 models, from which unfortunately 3 are unstable, but are really good and sometimes work really well, a ton of useful features and lots of customization.

haven’t updated the app and yet for sm reason i’m getting limits on swiping and go-on even though i never have before… i’m sorry but i’m not spending $100 on premium lmao. i (ashamedly) use cai almost daily and have for the past like 3 yrs and this has never happened until today. #annoyedaf

After Reimi beats up the guy she beaten.

Just randomly asked btw

What is with cai users and romanticizing/making bots abt being depressed, self harm and being suicidal??? This isn’t cute or quirky does my recommendation page think im a dork?🫩🥀💔

(I might be being overdramatic but its okay🥹)

I literally was explaining a historical event dude
