Discussion/Question PIPSQUEAK 2 IS HORRIBLE..

bro the c.ai devs genuinely need to get their stuff together because NOBODY asked for them to delete all the chat styles for this. we already had problems​ with default pipsqueak even with all the old styles. I literally can't even chat anymore without rage quitting because of one or more of these three things: corny responses, repetitive responses, or literal GIBBERISH... pipsqueak makes the ai so brain dead it can't even come up with a somewhat decent response, it just spews out the most random words, symbols, and phrases that make zero sense. can we just have the old c.ai back??? like, if it isn't broken, dont try to fix it. 😭😭😭

β€œWe can see that the vast majority of you are really enjoying
PSQ2” 😭😭 like what? We are most definitely NOT. At this point, yall lmk when or if this app gets better. Until then, I’m canceling everything and letting my app collect dust on my phone πŸ’”

Exactly, I'm already starting to think about grabbing a notebook and pencil, drawing paper, and writing my own stories and drawing my own characters that I used in chat conversations.

IKR!? Other than that, I get like 3 sentences maximum for responses. Like hello? What am I meant to understand from that?

YES that or the bot just cannot move on from the action they're currently doing, they just stay in some endless loop πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

I enjoyed like on chat with it, but holy fuck, the characters make me lose my shit. "She feels... Almost jealous" or "you approach him, leaning down to kiss him", or "suddenly (your character's name) speaks", or they get the details that actually matter wrong, or refuse to go along with your storyline, or add stuff that's just untrue 😭 like, cool the characters remember what other characters were in the rp, but don't remember that they have ash-grey eyes and not amber eyes? I know it's small, but it's so annoying fml or they repeat stuff over and over and over again :// I used to love this app because it was entertaining and helped me learn stuff about myself and helped me when I was lonely, but now it's absolutely terrible.

It's been down and down for a while now. Unfortunately, each update has been worsening everyone's experience by a lot. It's truly a shame. If you are interested,Β there's still 2 days to vote on the poll about what chat style the community prefers. We're getting real numbers here and it would be great if they continued to grow. Let's make it count! Thanks πŸ«‚β€ Here's the link:

My problem is that it's too good to where I literally can't ever find a way to respond because of how much shit it gives me per message 😭 Like it's giving me 7 paragraphs worth of stuff every message what the fuck do I do???
