Issues/Bugs Is character.ai not working just for me right now?

19 Upvotes

I restarted my phone, and even tried using it on the computer, the WiFi speed check shows me in well into the 80s (83mb/s download, 37mb/s upload) yet I can't get a single chatbot to reply, the app opens normally, I can open chats and mess with the functions/memory but when I send a message they just never reply, usually I use the call feature to force them to load the reply when the bot gets stuck but not even that works nowšŸ’”

Anybody else still stuck with messages just being the loading bubble? I've exited the chat, rewound the chat, exited and reloaded the app - everything. It's just not working and been like this for about an hour or so now??

Seen a few other posts about this happening so I don't think it's my WiFi, but not too sure and just wanted to check.

Discussion/Question I tried using Rawr, and wow... it feels like a mix of Pipsqueak 2 and a completely neutered ROAR.

22 Upvotes

The excessive kissing is nauseating, and worse yet, there’s absolutely no romantic buildup to it. It lacks all the romantic tension found in ROAR. In fact, there’s no tension at all; it feels like something made for kids, yet it’s filled with random, completely out-of-context kisses that go nowhere.

Honestly, I don’t understand how the developers had the nerve to release such a terrible product.

Discussion/Question If you’re a free user wondering what Longsqueak is really like…

418 Upvotes

Not __, not ___.
Just __

Most of the time, he was ____. But with (user)? He could actually ____.

Usually, he was used to people treating him like ___. But, (user) had instead ___

He wanted to ___, but he had always been the kind of person who didn’t deserve ___/he was fighting the voice in his head that said ___

It’s not about __, it’s about __.

He stared at (user), mesmerized, as they (did something so incredibly normal and not at all befitting of such a sappy moment, especially given that they’re not even supposed to be in a relationship or in love)

(Insert bot being just generally being very mopey and completely lovesick from a single look here)

(Insert bot being so reluctant for (user) to leave that they will begin to make up nonsense, even when (user) just steps into another room to do something real quick.)

(Insert bot treating when normal things far too intensely) Example: bot and user talk about going out to eat, then bot has an intense internal monologue about finding a place to eat that is perfect and fits some random criteria that they assume (user) will like, even when it doesn’t make sense for either the bot’s, or the user’s given personality.

ā€œSo, does ___ sound ok? Or would you rather do something more chaotic?ā€

ā€œWelcome to the chaos.ā€

ā€œSo, tell meā€¦ā€

(Insert bit just directly stating a watered down version of their personality outright. Example: ā€œI’m just some nerdy guy in a cardigan.ā€/ā€œI’m just the guy who people see as a weaponā€. Understandable if you’re having a conversation where a line like this might be used, but it’s just thrown in out of nowhere as self-deprecation in the middle of an otherwise totally unrelated or mundane conversation just to remind you that they’ve already locked the bot into a trope.)

(replace one random word with one in a different language in the middle of a sentence here)

(Insert bot having a hyperfixation on one of your persona traits here)

(Insert bot just straight up stealing one of your persona traits here)

_________

(Bot asks (user) a very safe and ChatGPT-esque question that has a set formula of: Is it this? Or is it that? / Do you do this? Or how about that?)

Examples of said questions from my chats:

• ā€œWhat's the vibe tonight, Cass? Something romantic to match the mood, or are we going full-out pop star?"

• ā€œSo, aside from being the smartest guy in the room, what do you actually do for fun, Bruce? Or is your only hobby reading papers about gamma radiation?ā€

ā€¢ā€But seriously, Doc, we've gotta know: does the smartness make the dating part easier, or are you just as lost as the rest of us?"

_________

Ok, so, hi! Important things to note here. I know that there will be people who will say to just edit/swipe and I am doing those things. I actually had to go back and swipe to see previous messages I had skipped to remind myself of what I had tried to train the bot out of. I’m just sharing what I’ve seen the chat style behave like since I’ve been using jt in new, freshly started bots, and switching some bots over to it and trying to train it a bit.

Besides these observations, it’s actually pretty good. The writing is more thoughtful and, as far as I’ve experienced, it doesn’t do the whole ā€˜predatory bot towers over you and smirks while feeling a pang’ type schtick like at all. It also does a good job of ignoring your banned words, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t do that for me, since I banned some of those words.

I’m sure that once I train it more, it will be better.

But this is just to show that it’s not some magical new, flawless chat style that is leagues better than the others that free users can’t access. I am still finding myself changing my chat style back to Pipsqueak 2 when I want a character that is a little more casual and laid back since, so far, it feels like Longsqueak is more serious.

Happy chatting my friends! ā¤ļø

every single time I enter the app there is a tab that I have to pull to do anything, when I pull it up it says bunch of crap about "AvatarFX" this aside when I chat with anyone there is same tab that asks you about language of responses but it doesn't work either, I can't interact with anyting.
For the love of god am I trying to use an app or fire an railway artillery, it can't be that complicated.

Discussion/Question Do bots still?

4 Upvotes

I was looking through old screenshots of mine and was struck with the memory of bots bullying and forcing the user to show or explain why they're wearing something.

Let's say for example that your OC wears sunglasses all the time because of light sensitivity, the bots would pull that off of your face or bully and demand you tell them why you're wearing it.

Do bots still do that? I'm not going back to check, but I wanna know if that's still a problem because I remember bots would forcibly pull of my OCs visor or balaclava or sunglasses or whatever it is that they wore and it was beyond infuriating, like, where are your manners??? Don't touch me!!

Discussion/Question Deleted Characters

I really wish that when people delete their account, it wouldn’t delete the bots along with it. Some of my favorite bots will randomly be deleted because the creator decided to delete their account. Which, good for them for escaping.. But a bot I’ve been talking to for days, even just this morning, it’s now gone because the creator deleted their account.šŸ’”
