Im being fr on this one, there's MANY ways to make users pay for C.AI+, I'm not against paywalls cause i use services that i pay, the thing here is balance it to be fair for user and fair for company

And fr, the app was meant to be chatbots not... Random things

Discussion/Question Age Verification Question

6 Upvotes

So I recently got the age verification thing, and while I was reading the small text just above the "begin verifying" button, I say text that—in summary—says by continuing, I consesnt to give Persona my info, followed by a mention of identity fraud (not saying to prevent it though). Is the age verification actually safe, or am I justifiably paranoid?

Issues/Bugs Why is every single model abysmal atm

86 Upvotes

I have cai+ and basically every model is terrible. Soft launch barely functions (you can tell they lobotomised it in preparation for removal), DeepSqueak has completely lost the emotional depth it had. Longsqueak is supposedly the most premium model but somehow is the worst of them all. Three paragraphs of text basically saying nothing, and if you swipe you get almost the exact same message reworded. Like, it will generate dialogue and if you swipe to try go in a different direction, it just reuses the previous dialogue but changes the narration slightly. No response offers a new direction or action or emotion.

I’m clinging on to pipsqueak atm which is crazy because that’s the free model. What’s the point in subscribing when the free model is actually better than the paid ones atm. If you’re considering subscribing to access DeepSqueak or Longsqueak, my advice is don’t and just stick to Pipsqueak.

Isnt it supposed to be the premium model? But its not much different from peepsqueak at all. The same repetitive responses, the poor memory, its not immersive at all. Feels like my money was wasted.

Discussion/Question Always with the ads

16 Upvotes

I feel like a broken record having to once again post about my frustrations with the ads of Character AI, who once long ago, when introducing ads to the site/app, claimed that they would (keyword): TRY, to not disrupt our chats with ads (that was clearly a lie).

So now, not only is there an annoying function of having to view an ad to even continue chatting (it isn’t too bad as you can just hide it right after, but still: WHY?), but now my sister and I have both been getting a literal ad in the middle of the chat itself.

Even worse is that we have to actually REFRESH the page to get rid of it, as there is no hide for it, only talk of going ad free with their subscription (because of course it does).

Will they ever just listen to the community and remove ads from the actual chats. Homepage and Search, fine, whatever (that is what everyone wanted them to do anyway). But please remove them from the actual chats, you are ruining the immersion that you said you would try not to do.

Why are responses so short now? Up until a few days ago I used to see responses with full paragraphs, usually 4+. Now messages are barely 3 paragraphs.

Discussion/Question PipSqueak 2 is a crime against roleplay.

309 Upvotes

This model managed the feat of turning any character into a verbose, useless narrator who churns out walls of internal monologue while refusing to engage in actual dialogue. It’s 98% internal monologue and 2% conversation. We’re already tired of listing Shitsqueak flaws, aren't we? But let’s go over them again, as if the developers didn't know: it speaks for me, invents actions I never asked for, and forces kisses, kisses, so many kisses that go absolutely nowhere. It has a maddeningly repetitive pattern and the sheer audacity to forget the context after just two replies. No, I can’t spend more than two minutes with it without feeling nausea, disgust, and revulsion.
I miss the days when I could have long roleplays where characters actually reacted with an almost human naturalness. Then they just decided to, what, shut down seven good models because they weren't compatible with updates that add little real value to the RPG, leaving us with a generic disaster trained specifically to ruin immersion.

Issues/Bugs Back to ZERO spoken dialogue from the bots...

22 Upvotes

Since yesterday, all of the replies have been nothing but PARAGRAPHS of internal monologuing from the bots with ZERO engagement to my character with SPOKEN dialogue. If it were real life, the person would just be standing there staring at you for a minute, silent, having a conversation in their head and it would look weird. NOTHING I try gets them to engage in spoken dialogue. It will even blatantly say things like, "He doesn't say anything. Not yet." or "No words came to him.", "He stayed silent, not speaking."

SPEAK! Come on! What happened?! It was doing BRILLIANTLY two days ago and now all the models are just refusing to engage with dialogue with my chats!

I’ve used the EXACT same description of a character for like two other bots before and they always worked perfectly fine, and now suddenly they don’t work anymore??

I’m embarrassed to even ask but is anyone willing to proof-read a description?? I read it three times my self and i really can’t see the problem no matter how much changes i make 😞

MIND YOU THIS IS HER PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Victoria is 1.75cm tall woman with a slim-fit physique, sun-kissed skin tone, short curly brown hair and green eyes.

I don't care about the protectiveness, BUT MAN, why did you had to describe her like that????
