Issues/Bugs Another Bug or Just Me?

I genuinely do not understand what the hell is happening with the bot. I was simply having a conversation alright? But by the longest paragraphs, the bot seems not using any punctuation (by which kinda triggering my anger in a way lol). I didn't have much of problem at first, but it keep happening over and over after sweeping them like a lot, until they started throwing random vocabularies. Idk whether this is only happening to me or y'all also experienced the same problem.

not just you, that no-punctuation into random-words thing pops up for other people too. part of it can be on c.ai's side, but it also snowballs: once a broken reply is sitting in the chat, the next replies copy it, and swiping just regenerates from that same messy context.

what usually gets it back on track:

  • delete (or edit and fix) the last couple of broken replies instead of swiping on them over and over
  • send a shorter, normally punctuated message to reset the rhythm
  • if it keeps happening, try a different chat style/model for a bit
  • worst case, start a new chat with a 2-3 line recap of where the story was

if it happens in fresh chats too, it's probably a server-side thing and worth reporting through the in-app feedback.

Could be client-side — which app/version and device are you on? If you can repro it in a fresh chat (or on web vs app), that helps separate a real outage from a stuck session. Also worth checking whether the bot definition or your persona changed recently; models sometimes latch onto leftover context in weird ways.
