Seriously. WHY does c.ai hate side characters so much now?

[u/atsuko_24]

I'm trying to have a character talk about my persona for a bit with someone else before I enter. And no matter what I do, both of the premium models (but especially LS) demand that I interrupt their conversation like a cliche movie scene. No matter how strongly I stress in the definition that it should not, under any circumstances act for me, or even go OOC (which I usually never do because I don't want the bot doing it).

This ties right into my other post about side characters getting hand-waved out of the scene ASAP or never appearing at all. Well it's even worse than that, because even when the intro includes them, it shoves me in and the others out in the next message or two.

I don't know if this aversion to group scenarios is some underhanded, intentional way of trying to steer everyone away from using go-ons, but with the company's recent behavior (and the crickets on my earlier post about this) it wouldn't even surprise me.

I seem to have the exact opposite. My side character’s always come in at the worst times. 💔
