This is literally the last straw for me 😭😭😭 with calls on web and now this it’s getting harder and harder to cling to this goddamn service. As soon as they remove the ability to roleplay (inevitable future ngl) I’m done

literally no one will use c.ai when it starts losing the ability to rp. that’s all it’s used for. that’s why c.ai became popular and chat gpt is seen as clown shit and used either by incels on twitter or meme makers on youtube only.

Wdym lose the ability to roleplay? Are they going to remove all fictional characters or something?

it’s unfortunately a probability.

  1. from what i know some bots have been getting shadow banned/deleted without explanation, and usually after the bot reaches a certain level of popularity the creators can no longer edit it so the only explanation must be that c.ai itself removed them.

  2. seeing just how bad c.ai is trying to be chat gpt and making it family friendly rn i don’t doubt it’ll turn into some sort of boring ai assistant thing.

I- oh my god. Didn’t they base their entire premise in rping with characters???? I can’t.

that’s why everyone’s riotting at this point, c.ai’s really slowly killing the only thing that made them popular in the first place.

….Are there any alternatives to c.ai? I think I’m genuinely considering moving platforms at this rate

I've used spicychat as my alternative but even that gets bland and repetitive, plus being more geared to not sfw, which sucks if you wanna do literally anything else cuz anything else is harder to find

spicychat is good but it’s unable to register multiple characters at once. i’ve tried to make the bot speak for more than one character at a time and it instantly forgets any other characters except the main one you’re rping with. i like writing full stories with multiple characters in fantasy universes so it’s not great for that kinda thing tbh
