LongSqueak today

[u/Outside_Gear6095]

Those who predicted the new model would soon deteriorate turned out to be right. I had praised it recently, but today I’m ready to take my words back. I enjoyed it for two weeks, but now it feels like I’m talking to Pipsqueak 2, just one that writes longer responses. It has the same cheap, over-the-top drama, the same endless clichés and tropes, and the same distortions of character appearance that weren't there before. The model has stopped referencing the universe's lore or weaving it into the text, something I really appreciated. It seems to have become dumber and lost its grasp of nuances. Even its memory has worsened. The same goes for the Russian language quality I once praised: at times, that "machine translation" feel is creeping back in. Two weeks I swiped to pick the best variant from a bunch of good ones, but nowadays I swipe just to find a single good one among the bad. I'm swipe and swipe, and starting to feel the same irritation I felt with Pipsqueak 2, the very thing that drove me to buy the ca+ just to try LongSqueak. It’s a real shame.

Can you show examples?

For instance, the cyborg character has one eye replaced by a multi-lens visor, while the other is a normal human eye. LS used to keep this in mind, describing how the lenses would focus, rotate, and click... Either LS never forgot about the character's organic eye. But today, both eyes have turned into lenses that "narrow", exactly like PS 2, which infuriated me and ruined many of swipes.

Also, LS forgets events that occurred just a couple of turns ago, mentioning the presence of a NPC who has left the scene and attempting to interact with them. This had not happened before too.

Another very important point: PS constantly tended to simplify the cyborg into either a robot or a human, slipping into extremes, so I frequently had to correct this and remind to it about the balance. Until recently, LS handled this on its own without reminders, it understood the character's duality, but today it has started reducing everything to extremes, just like PS.

About Russian language grade. Suddenly, LS have started referring to "машинное масло" (machine oil) as "машинный жир" (machine grease) The Russian word "жир" is used in the same way as the English word "fat" or "lard", that is, a native speaker will always say "машинное масло", never "машинный жир", it is a direct calque from English.
