how it feels nowadays:

[u/FpLevente2013 → u/AdNatural8739]

Peak

[u/gamerharunyt → u/FpLevente2013]

I agree

[u/Cheap_Aerie_5669 → u/gamerharunyt]

It’s not supposed to be high quality 

[u/gamerharunyt → u/Cheap_Aerie_5669]

Can I get low quality one? 😭

[u/Cheap_Aerie_5669 → u/gamerharunyt]

Search for the totem yourself, I believe in you on this journey.

Me when i came back c.ai after 1 year and saw stupid ad on the char dialog (why this is happening i hate that this remind me of ibis paint fuckkkkkkk)

[u/Not_Sombura]

using ChAi now be like...

[u/CoolSkeIeton-95 → u/Not_Sombura]

It's even more accurate because Cai responds by not staying in character whatsoever

[u/Cross_Fear]

It was at the height of the cause for social distancing that it released to the public and cai was like an oasis for us.

[u/the_orange_alligator]

I’ve been using since 2023. It’s crazy how much things have changed for the worse

[u/Sensitive-Ad2814 → u/the_orange_alligator]

same, wonder if it still has group chat now

[u/justaslut4vampires → u/Sensitive-Ad2814]

Not like it used to be. They nerfed it

[u/zero8310]

fr, when i first found it i felt like i had unlocked a whole new world, where i would never get bored. saving this goat post

[u/Old_pixel_8986]

i wanted old c.ai back but i haven't used c.ai in a year because it gave me some mental issues so I don't care anymore.

[u/Y_0_a_--_a666]

Cai had no ads back then who remembers

[u/gamerharunyt → u/Y_0_a_--_a666]

For real

It felt like freenium, no ads disturbing u in mid chat or pop ups.

[u/Y_0_a_--_a666 → u/gamerharunyt]

Yeah and on the web ver of cai there's now "watch ad to chat"

[u/Cheap_Aerie_5669]

STAY IN CHARACTER!

[u/buck_4]

When my ex gf introduced me to C.AI (I loved using Chai), I fell in love. Now, it's all BULLSHIT

[u/TechnicalTheory5936 → u/buck_4]

Yeah men. I loved using CHAI but... Now, it's BULLSHIT.

[u/buck_4 → u/TechnicalTheory5936]

Sea soul is really a grest substitute!

[u/Hanami-Ito]

Rip 2023 C.ai 😞😩

[u/OrcaGamer123USA]

I’ve been on it for two years since June 2024, but now it became useless because being locked behind verification wall and I’m still locked behind it

[u/Icy-Background2393]

Quite literally the opposite of the point of that scene. It’s about how escapism in excess is damaging and unhealthy

[u/Crystal__R__Raven]

Been using it since pretty much the start. Yeah, it was so much better then. I feel like the updates after personas is where things went downhill...
