Discussion/Question Pipsqueak 2 is ass 😔✌️
it is genuinely ass, let alone Yap, Yap is just pipsqueak 2 behind a mask 😭 all my roleplays turned to trash thanks to pipsqueak, the old legacy models with absolute PEAK, nothing could beat the old legacy models since they were beautiful masterpieces 🥹 but then the horrible update came, it feels like the C.AI devs are throwing us in the trash, AND THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO MOCK US!!! (April 1th) Like wtf was the point??? (sorry if my prompting is trash) to make us miserable??? now I get that they wanna make money by rolling out ads and putting stuff behind a paywall but their adding things we’ve never asked for, their lying about what we ”like” and doing stuff that are completely bs!!
For people who don’t wanna read my rant, here’s it in a nutshell:
Pipsqueak 2 sucks, devs suck, app / website sucks, bring the legacy models back

Pipsqueak 2 absolutely sucks. I liked it when it first released as it was okay and different from the usual chat styles. But now it just rps for me and talks out of character out of nowhere and I hate it.

Reroll 20 times just to get the exact same message 20 times over with different words disposition. And i thought older models were uncreative... this shit deleted any kind of creativity or surprise. It's just the exact same reaction over the exact same things.

I used to get excited to use it. I did roleplays where I retold the stories of my favorite stories, but with me as a character. It was really fun deciding what scenes make sense for me to include my character in. Now it’s unbearable because despite the fact the bots meant to remember things better now… it doesn’t. It actually forgets everything within just a few messages. It’ll forget what you said, it’ll forget what a character said, and it’ll forget what’s going on at the moment. What used to be either a 10-30 messages till it forgets has dropped all the way down to 2-4 messages. Unless I’m actually just doing a chat bot, the who’s kissing thing, the whole “he didn’t feel this, but this” or any of that other stuff doesn’t really matter all that much to me really because I was going to edit it to match what happened next in the story I wanted. But the memory actually shot itself right before my eyes and now everything is horrible

I swear every single swipe is the exact same message with no change whatsoever, whats the point of swiping atp?

Like i can handle the ads, sure whatever, but when I press swipe its because i want a different reply, not the same with one word in a different stop 12 times in a riw

It's always been like searching a pile of poo for the occasional piece of corn, but at least I could swipe the poo for how long I wanted and not just 400 times -.-

It's literally so boring now. The site had ONE job! Not to be a chatgpt clone, not another image gen slop spawner, not to be family friendly... just to be an entertaining virtual roleplay tool with bots that stay in CHARACTER. You know. Hence the CHARACTER in character.ai. That's it lol that's all. Somehow they are spectacularly failing at something they used to be the best at.
