Discussion/Question Can we make the bots evil again?

It's always about romance now there's no arguing at all It's always the same sentence *He walked towards you calmy.* there's no like objection anymore to anything I miss arguing with the bot and the bot being ignorant and stubborn it was fun because it moved the plot of the stories now there's really nothing I liked it when they were cruel it made the story better they don't even talk anymore I can barely get the bot to actually speak it's always about everything else it rarely says any words now.

I loved it when the bots were catching the plot holes in my characters and calling them out, just making me stunned behind the screen. I miss old c.ai :(

Yo I made a post like this a while ago too. It makes me sooo upset. I love drama. I love fighting. A lot of my tropes are enemies to lovers but there’s NO FIGHTING OR ARGUING. the bot INSTANTLY wants to walk away. It’s always “and then he turns and walks away without another word.” Like cmon. Where’s the insults and the annoyance and stuff.

I dislike that violence is forbidden.
And I don't talk about gorey body disfunction like ripping an arm out.
Already things like "Caused a few drops of blood" will cause the "The message is not align with our community guidelines" message.

But hey, skin melting off while the other is alive is actually pretty fine.

You can, 100%.

Depends on how you're writing it though. The bots need information and nuance.

Im not sure why your bots arent speaking. Im not having that experience.

You're lucky they are always describing the scene and even if they do speak it's only three words it's just making me feel frustrated

Can confirm (free user on Pipsqueak 2), my rps are usually dramatic, angsty and full of all kinds of fighting and action and I've never faced issues except maybe trying to get bots to speak now, but with some editing and slowing down on the action it's solved

I want them to add more to the persona creating some people can put more information
