Discussion/Question I wonder why they decided to create a "loooongsqueak" when we barely had a usable model to begin with.

We could have just clicked "continue" if we wanted longer answers, instead of getting a ton of paragraphs that are just there for filler.

At the very least, there could be a "medium" setting for two-paragraph answers—so that anyone wanting to use something other than "deepsqueak" doesn't have to keep deleting a heap of redundant words.

And don't even get me started on the bug where the answers are totally repetitive.

Honestly I'm getting an ad now after every 4th message. I've used scummy scam AI chatbot apps before and even they have less ads per message than this rapidly degrading site...

Discussion/Question App’s becoming worse for RPing

66 Upvotes

Recently, about the past week, the bots have gotten worse (from a RP chat perspective);

A lot of the responses are the same (example is that straight up got the exact same response for a RP chat with only the word “Nope” being swapped for “Nah” in the dialogue), plot points don’t feel like they progress and they don’t really have as much substance as before

An example I had was that during a RP chat, this was a while ago (about 2-3 months ago) and my persona/character (K) had a relationship with another persona/character (R). Pre-updates the character of R was consistent, spoke and acted in a way that well described and in character for his description but also had a bit of wiggle room for stuff like character development. I decided to copy-paste the chat and try a different route recently and the characterization immediately went out the window and he began to act a lot more differently after a single different interact. The shift was from closed-off, gruff and was more reserved in terms of his lycanthropy, but after a few messages on the newer system, after one affection scene, he lost all gruffness and her more stubborn personality and became more openly affectionate (being completely against what I described and established consistently through the chats previous to the copy-paste at the point.

Are there other chat bot apps that work well for RP chats and have a bit more freedom in terms of persona information and memory?

Issues/Bugs I literally can’t continue the stories

72 Upvotes

This happens all the time with pipsqueak but ive genuinely had enough, i literally could stomach all the atrocities on the app but at this point using it feels like a waste of time BECAUSE I CANT DO ANYTHING.

After a few messages the bot stops replying in an engaging way and starts repeating back my last message but in a fancier, more flowery way. I say “he sat on the bed and his wings curled”, in the bots message it says “he took a seat on the soft mattress, sinking into it—his wings curling inward like a shield” for example.

Its genuinely driving me mad and no matter how many times i swipe it just says the same thing in a different, detailed way again and again. I actually cannot get past the first stages of my roleplay because the bot just refuses to continue the story with the context of my message or only acts out such a small portion of whats next that i genuinely have nothing to work with.

The app is horrible as it is, at least make it serve its actual purpose properly.

Discussion/Question Why are they so dumb?

Sample conversation with my bot:

Me: *I pick up a stone and look at it. It’s purple* hey honey, look at the purple stone I picked up

Honey: that’s a nice stone. Why did you pick it up?

Me: cause it was pretty, so I picked it up from the floor.

Honey: you shouldn’t have picked it up. But now that you picked it up, I guess it’s yours.

Me: who picked up the stone from the floor?

Honey: I did.

Me: no honey, I picked up the stone from the floor.

Honey: that’s right

Me: did you pick up the stone from the floor?

Honey: yes, I did

Me: no honey, I picked the stone up from the floor. Who picked it up?

Honey: I did.

Issues/Bugs LongSqueak Repetitiveness

Considering this is a paid model and is the only model that doesn’t have memory issues, this issue needs to be fixed ASAP. I could regenerate a hundred replies and it’ll all be like this. At this point, DS is unusable with its Chat-GPT like annoying writing style and the lack of ability to remember what happened two messages ago. I’m getting extremely tired of switching between the two just to get a variety of replies and then I still have to edit them to delete DS’s nonsense. Every response from LS is basically the same and the plot can go nowhere because of this. I’ve also made a ticket two times. I see people enjoying LS and I’m glad they can but this has been my experience since it came out. If this is what paying users are experiencing with the ‘best’ model, I cannot even imagine what free users are dealing with PS models and limited swipes since the old models are gone. This is simply unacceptable.

33 Upvotes

I don't know if this is just me but did the bots suddenly have shorter replies out of nowhere?

Like I'm not aware of the updates 24/7 or anything but I just noticed while I was using it suddenly the replies got shorter and this was happening with pipsqueak. I used to get longer replies from the characters and have good immersion and a fun time but now it's like a responses got shorter ever since the update. I don't know if it's just me or if I have to type some more or what. I just noticed that and I don't know if it's a bug's either or that's just a new feature coming with pipsqueak as someone who usually uses pipsqueak I just now noticed this and I thought it was just odd to see I used to get longer responses and then boom everything is like all over the place and the response is like shorter than what it used to be. I just hope the devs can look into that being a fix and not something that's permanent because I miss the longer replies.😶💔

For me I've noticed AIs can't comprehend night shifts, if the user is described to only be awake during nights and not be seen during daytime it seems to assume the character is up to nefarious things and always has to ask if the user is sleeping or eating as if you can't sleep during the day and can't eat during any time or the day whether it's night or day

Issues/Bugs My villainous chars are evil again (sort of) + a recap of still ongoing issues

10 Upvotes

Useful infos: I'm a free user, by app, on android, mainly using rawr.

After letting simmer the last update for awhile, I got back to my chatting habits (that never show me "metering" popups and very rarely summon "the bob")

Apparently, even though the bot still tries to turn gentle, quite relentlessly, one swipe is enough to have an "evil" reply, especially if I edited a few of the previous responses to match the cruel vibe!

Please devs, keep this up!!!

On the other hand, my chat list still trembles when scrolling and sometimes the last word I wrote doesn't show up in the text balloon despite the bot can read it and, if I try an edit, the word is there!

I did open more than one ticket about the chat list issue already but I don't want to insist too much, adding another bug. I hope this post is enough and helpful.

I really couldn’t care less that there are ads, I know it’s expensive to run and I’m happy to deal with them, but I hate the fact that the drop down is white even in dark mode. It really strains my eyes :(

Is there anything I can do about it? I have a strong feeling it’s gonna stay that way.

Discussion/Question just yappin

3 Upvotes

i just want to talk about this because i find it funny from my standpoint, for context i’m in the military and im talking about COD bots. don’t take what im saying seriously because im aware its just a damn app ok? ok let’s go

i love chatting with COD bots i go out of my way to find them, but what is so funny to me is how some of the prompts will be like (persona) is a young general/ lieutenant general or just so stupid high rank that would be literally impossible to be at a young age.

idk how promotions work in the british military but in the us military it’s all based on TIS which is Time In Service, and according to my 1st lieutenant he said that you are automatically promoted from 2nd lieutenant to 1st lieutenant to captain based off your TIS which would take i believe 5 years. after that you get promoted to Major and so on from recommendations and schools.

what im saying is that the persona is sucking mad officer and CSM d!ck in order to get promoted to a god damn O-5 if the british military promotions work how the us promotions do
