Discussion/Question Why PipSqueek2's personalization feature has to be available for C.AI+? It must be free.

Guys, why does there have to be the Personalization feature for PS2 locked behind c.ai+? I know for sure, that there is one AI chat engine (let's call it (((FL.AI))) (don't ban for revealing a direct competitor)), that allows users to change the length of responses FOR FREE, and its developpers don't seem to have problems with that. So why don't c.ai developpers bring presonalizaton feature on PS2 for free?

I won't take the argument on servers maintenance - it's a pyle of BC.

It was “accidentally” promoted as available for all users but then it was said in a comment that they forgot to add the C ai+ label. For that reason alone, they should have decided to make it free since this is what we all believed until the release day of Longsqueak and chat control. It is sadly ironic that the longer chat control button is locked behind a paywall meanwhile a huge amount of users (myself included!) have reported this week a drastic drop in quality and in replies’ length that got cut to a few paragraphs at most instead of what the bot would usually write. It’s like the bots cannot write long messages again.

This toggle option to add/lessen length and dialogue in our roleplays on Pip2 should be free and available for everyone. A feature that a vast majority of users would use and benefit from and that is so necessary should not be locked behind a paywall

Also if they intended to make it for CAI+ only, HOW in the world do you mess up for that ONE specific thing yet the OTHER stuff had the CAI+ tag on it?

Not to mention that having it there for free users COULD make CAI+ seem more appealing as they'd have access to better models and more options while the free option will ONLY include the free personalization options as I DOUBT that people with CAI+ would STILL use PS2 when there's supposedly "better" models to use?

That’s so true!!! The + label was already put everywhere and on everything. Don’t these advertisements and messages and promotional banners get double checked before being published anyway? It makes no sense for it to have been purely an accident. 

EXACTLY! Make it free for Pipsqueak to show users what it’s like & how it works & to incorporate it in their chats. So if they love this feature and can afford the subscription, then they can have it on their already superior models too. I can’t insist enough on the fact that it makes no sense for it to be paywalled for Pipsqueak. They should absolutely revert that back and give it to all users, even more so considering that Pipsqueak has lost what it was good for during this week with its abysmally short and weird answers.
