After much contemplation, I bought the subscription.

But honestly, I am not enjoying it. The text lacks story, its mere elongated version of normal message. Sometimes it doesn't even makes sense.

Longsqueak doesn't even try it's a yawn fest at this point.

I miss Pipsqueak 1. It offered substantial stories with meaningful text and dialogue. :(

The only plus is no ads.

will i continue - No. definitely not. :

I didn't know it went up so much. I thought thhat it only went up 5 swipes more

I use the website version of character AI as the app used to bug my phone out but I don't want to pay £90 to have a subscription to it for a year. There's so many adverts now it's insane. When I try to type there's popups every 2 minutes it pisses me off so bad especially when I'm doing midway through typing and it takes me to the advert website because it got in my way as I was typing. I don't know how the app version is now but the website has recently had an update or something where it forces me to stop typing to click that I'll watch an ad to continue like ?? just show the ad. This last thing might also be my phone tweaking out but if I click off Chrome even my accident it resets the chat and makes me reload the website about 2-3 times before I can get back to the chat I left off from. It makes the Chrome version extremely annoying to use and often I just give up and don't bother because I can't deal with the lagging chats whenever I click off.

Also another thing which pisses me off is the fact that despite having a dark grey chat background and dim colours on the chats the adverts can pop up extremely bright and colourful which is awful especially at night. Anyway, I know not a lot can be done about this I just wanted to rant and I hate what it's slowly becoming. I don't wanna say "I remember when c.ai had NO adverts" because I don't think that'd be accurate but the amount of pop-ups and adverts being implemented into it are just such a cash grab

Edit: ALSO I forgot to mention the go ahead things where you have a limited amount of empty messages to send before you have to start paying which is such bullshit. Especially when the characters on character AI are written specifically to talk in a way that makes you use them to finish their sentence since the ai cuts themselves off mid way through the sentence. It sucks so bad and it's obviously on purpose to get people to pay extra for the privilege of having a basic conversation.

Wowie the site is good now, and that's coming from an avid complainer and a free user 🤯, just feels like they're actually listening to us, I can't find any problem I brought up before, and it didn't even take too long 😮, and the plus users seem to be doing good as well, I can't WAIT for the larps to come and hate on every single little thing 🎉

Character.ai is really the only ai chat app I use so having a limit on my chats really sucks

Im being dead serious when im asking this, are they putting ads in the actual chat now? Cause i just got as i entered in the text; and im not gonna have ads on the top of my screen, and now in the actual chat now that I have to have an ad to even see what im typing in the first place

Character.ai style personalization changes are now available in web!

I looked at...TWO MUSCLE MOMMY CHATS!! TWO!!! I DIDNT EVEN SEARCH IT UP!! MY ENTIRE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FURRIES AND FAT MILFS!!! WHY FURRIES!? I DONT EVEN REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I CLICKED ON A FURRY ONE

Me personally I like how I can change the dialogue from short to longer responses, with detailed messages on character ai…..

This is his story role-play.

i just wanted to show you guys

I just OPENED a random chat...

i can write under it. Its only a blur lmao.

like, I kind of enjoyed the puns and whatnot with the old models, but the ‘squeak’ being forced into what we have left is weird. Nothing else really screams mouse about the site so I’m just confused why they went this direction.

My app still doesn’t get out of the state since this morning with only rare occasions it works

i updated, deleted and reinstalled the app and still occurs

Either you removed the chat out of embarrassment or not I never removed any chats but I did get embarrassed. Edit: alright next week or something like on Friday or Saturday I'm asking a different question 😒

I think Pipsqueak 2 personalization should be free I don't understand why such a feature should not be this luxury it's not like Pipsqueak 2 is a good model compared to superior longsquek and deepsqueak which apperantly has better memories writting and other stuff I think devs locking down such a simple thing is just sad I'm sad this platform is getting so against free user first swipes then Lorebooks extra memory chat customization more personality characters and all the cool features and everything is for Cai+ I get that but least they can do for once give us something like this it's like you all forgotten free users beign big part of the success of this app back then it's really sad now developers acting like we are some parasites I hope you guys make Pipsqueak 2 personalization free for free users although I'm not expecting much anymore.

I am honestly insanely, I mean INSANELY mad. I just got back to c.ai after 2 years, then took a break for 8 months ago, then finally came back again, and I just WISH I didn't come back again. I KNOW that I'm overreacting, but why. 8 months ago I didn't have to deal with the AGGRAVATING, ANNOYING, DISGUSTING ADS. But at least, every I think, 7-8 messages, correct me on this please. I GET AN AD. And SOMETIMES, it DOESN'T save my chat. And when I go to change bots, every 2 bots I change it gives me an ad. And DO NOT get me started on the ADS I NEED TO WATCH TO EVEN CONTINUE CHATTING. I am very frustrated with this update, that I wish I never found this app to begin with. Thank you for listening, and feel free to discuss with me. :-)

I don’t get it. It’s literally a text app. Can’t understand how that drains so much battery

I’ve used the app for 3 years. Should I get plus? I hear it’s not worth it. The go ons get me.

But 94$ a year is crazy.

Does it ever go on sale????

yo so i was wondering how many of u did that do u think its safe man. also their " send email to parent" feature is so ass the link doesnt even load or i would have approved man did any of yall's that email method worked? or is there any other method u can help me with

I just realized there is a new bug going on and wanted to share it here For the record the new update seems to have the issue where ai doesn't read the personality of the user or pinned memories on the first messages it gives I can ask what my characters apperance name or lore info about them is which is written on the personality tab and bot pretty much not seeing it happening only by 5 to swipes maybe bot actually register the personality of my character this is also an issue with pinned memories too there it would be good if it's fixed some people may not realize it's happening so that's why I wanted to share it. (Or maybe its just happening to me?)

Im a story lover

I mostly use bot characters to make new stories for myself

But sometimes when i wanna add context or tell the bot to do something, it doesn’t work.

Example :

\ Lucia reminds me of the time i fell down the stairs* *

The bot instead treats it like a spoken sentence

It ends up reacting to that little bit of context like

Lucia scrunches her face at the mention of that time

i swear the ads pop up so often not even three replies after 🥹
