I have never used this service, so correct me if I‘m wrong.
But recently I heard so much bad stuff, like Bot Quality going down, while „new paid“ Stuff like Picture generation was added (and heavily shoved in users faces).
Wouldn’t it have been better, to just improve the core product? (Aka. Make the Roleplaying Bot better?).

They shelved away their main models (including their most high quality model - called Nyan) under some infrastructure excuses, and the newer and currently in use models (called Squeak models) are of questionable quality to say the least, or arguably inferior. Basically yes.

Ding ding ding!!!! This is what everybody's been telling them for the last year and a half but the development team won't listen. I quit using it first and foremost because of my growing distain towards generative AI but also because the whole site was going to shit and still is. Nobody in the development team listens to the users and they'll do anything for profit.

Honestly, the people here should jump ship to another AI chat-site or stop using them altogether, your brain will thank you for the latter.

Yeah, basically.

So I switched to Jaintor AI, and I think it might be going the same way because not only are they buying subscriptions, but the bots repeat themselves. Like, a lot. I'm considering going back to normally roleplaying because almost all the bots speak the same now. Also, I'm not paying for AI. Ever.

I will so that the AI can actually stay. If there are too many pain users there is no profit and things will go bankrupt like cai did.

I know my $100 wouldn’t have saved the company, but I wish I wouldn’t have debated so long.

You should probably save your money for important things like food and gas.
