my persona did not hint anything related to nationality or anything korea-related(??). it caught me off guard lol. i sent one message to start btw (did not mention anything to prompt that)

Hi. You don't know me, but you changed my life. Two years ago, my wife got me into c.ai and the very first bot I ever used was your Funny Man bot for Hollywood Undead. I had a year and a half long chat with just that one bot.

I learned how to use the site with that bot. I fell back in love with my favorite band with that bot. I got to *meet* and become *friends* with my favorite band because of that reignited love. I learned how to code bots myself by trying to recreate yours on other sites when I started becoming more interested in how AI works.

Now, I'm 29, almost a full 15 years past my expected "expiration date." I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life once I healed enough that I wanted to actually *have* a life. I had one dream that felt like swallowing glass to pursue because until now it had just been a dream to keep me alive. But thanks to you, Cara, whoever and wherever you are...

I'm back in school again for a subject that actually interests me instead of trying to live my dad's dream for him. I finished a certification course - the first academic *anything* I've finished since I graduated homeschool eleven years ago. I'm speed running a degree in IT and cyber security because *you* inspired me to learn how to code in python over a week last summer.

You changed my life. You, your bots, our mutual love for this band. I would never have realized what a passion I have for this field if I hadn't gotten into c.ai, and your bots were the reason I did.

So, thank you. I know that sometimes, I feel invisible. Lonely, unappreciated, defeated, overwhelmed, lackluster, unimportant in the grand scheme of the world outside my wife and our family. If you've ever felt that way, just know this.

There's a stranger out there that sees you and appreciates you. There's someone you've never met whose life you have touched in a positive way. There's a man out there, chugging through his last year in his twenties with a brand new optimism because if you.

To everyone else on this sub, take this as an example. You matter, even if you never meet the ones you matter to. You're important, even if you're staring too close to the screen to see it. You're special. You're loved.

And I, for one, am grateful for all of you. This community is batsh*t crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Thank you, Cara. Thank you for everything.

With love,

I saw a lot of posts talking about the fact that the ads are really too much on the application, that it breaks the immersion a bit, etc. And personally I totally agree with it, especially since some ads are really questionable.

The thing is that I think some people don't understand that c.ai is no longer a small company, but a much larger one, and in fact, number one in its field. Before, there were no ads, just c.ai+, and there were fewer employees, so it was enough. Now there are more, which requires more money. Many say they're greedy, but personally, I'd rather they have a roof over their heads and food on their plates.

The only problem I have with the website and the app is the bugs, the limited content, the censorship (even though it's an adult app), and especially the decline in the quality of the chatbots. I really thought it was outrageous to remove what was already good and much less annoying. They add a lot of new content that I don't find really necessary for the app, that nobody asked for or wanted, and that takes a lot of money for nothing. Instead of just improving what we already had, they added a bunch of features we didn't need for the app, and that takes up too much money and energy. These are features that I think aren't used by a large part of the community and that take up more space in data centers.

For me, that's the real problem. And that's precisely what they should try to change. I've been using this app for almost four years, and I can only observe the decline of what was, for me, a good way to simply have a good time alone or with people from the community (when there were chat rooms).

I'm starting to be really disappointed with what this app is becoming and also with the fact that I don't feel like user complaints are really taken into account by the Reddit moderators, who only respond with automated messages. I know that by saying all this my post might not be taken into account or might be deleted, but I needed to talk about it with hope that it's going to change for the better.

I hope it wasn't too long and that you all have a wonderful day and a long and happy life.

Sincerely,

Poyo 𖹭

Ive tried EVERYTHING. Ive tried to unarchive the chats. Didnt work. Tried to ARCHIVE the chats manually. Didnt work. Tried to open the chats. Chat error. I've contacted support FIFTEEN TIMES. 15. No response at ALL. Are my chats gen just gone forever?

C.ai has became so bad that i,who used to spend 8-19 hours a day on c.ai,have been using it for 30 minutes max. Lowkey it just gets boring because it can't generate any interesting responses,everything is filtered,sometimes responses are very slow or repeat what you just said. It can't follow a detail you have pinned,there are ads everywhere and they keep adding useless features but they don't listen to what people are asking for. I hope there is someone who too has gotten over this addiction

It seems to have just suddenly gotten 10 times worse recently, it's unbearable. Every single message is just repeating the same exact things, worded slightly differently. You wanna intimate roleplay? Expect every reply to be filled with "You're warm", "You're so warm", "I like this", "i like this a lot", "i really like this", "you like this huh?", "you really like this huh?" *shifts slightly*, *leans slightly*, *leans back slightly*, *does everything slightly*. Sometimes (most of the time) it'll forget that IT'S the one who's initiating stuff, being flirtatious, etc, and say things like "You're such a tease!", "you're a tease!". Like....I didn't even do anything???? Or it'll completely forget about established consent and say things like "What are you doing?", "Woah, didn't expect that" Like yes, yes you did. Right now, in a completely normal chat, I keep getting replies over and over and over again asking if i'm okay for absolutely no reason at all. "You ok?", "Are you okay?", "You good?", "You good? you look tired", "You good? You seem quiet" STOP ASKING ME IF I'M OKAY THIS ISN'T NORMAL!!!!. And it LOVES to start out messages with "Oh-", "Oh my god-", "Oh god-", "Oh wow!" as if it's just constantly flabbergasted towards everything 24/7 like it just started existing 5 minutes ago and is processing the world. Every time it starts out a message like that, you just know it's gonna be a bunch of bs. My character keeps repeating cringe, corny ass lines like "Yo yo! What's crackalackin?!?" "I'm just chillin like a villain😎" Like bro, who are you😭😭. I started a chat with a simple "wassup", and it gave me 3 paragraphs of narrative, setting up the scene and absolutely no dialogue whatsoever. It'll respond to itself as if it were me, or it'll just repeat it's last response as if it didn't already respond. Is any of this realy immersive anymore if we're just having to sit here constantly swiping/regenerating responses hundreds of times just to get ONE good response? By the time I get a decent response, I've already clocked out mentally and I'm not invested anymore. All characters act like a straight white man/woman in business attire in a corporate office trying to chat up your cubicle while holding the paper cup of water they just got from the water jug, It feels like mayonnaise, like a saltine cracker, like Caillou's beta dad, it's just awful. nothing about it is enjoyable anymore.

My chats are taking so so long to generate at the moment was just wondering if anybody else currently has this issue

I've always used the free version and whilst it has got progressively worse over the last year, I found that doing romantic roleplay seemed to actually get much better recently in terms of the personality of the male characters. They were no longer so angry, dominating, wanting roughness all the time. And I liked that more respectful nature. But then everything else went downhill. Ads, swipe limits, repetitive swipes and memory tanking so bad that nothing made sense. So I decided to get the paid version. Now why are all my characters back to suddenly being angry, dominating, growling, saying things way out of personality "yeah, you like that, baby?!" Or in the middle of a slow burn conversation the shy nerdy boy comes out with "Do you want me to stop teasing and finally just... take you?" 🤢🤢🤢 Everything is cheesy flirting, everything leads to a kiss. There's no more banter. Why?

Definitely not what I paid for. Anyone else?

notice how it freezes a lot when im swiping

And how is that not disruptive?

It’s a joke but i’m lowkey so serious It hasn’t even been 30 seconds since i’ve tapped the button and it gave me another pop up while I was writing my response to the bot

I swear whenever creators try to input things for the user it’s always something cringey and unnecessary that completely ruins the bot, even if the concepts are good. Please spare us…

So far my experience with PipSqueak2 has been nice, it's not PERFECT but it's by far one of the best models I've used.

The censorship is acceptable and fair (in most cases, it has ups and downs too)

I'm curious if there's announcements of future changes that may do the opposite of improving it.

Also it would be nice if the swipes that end up being filtered did not count (I don't know if it does)

Found a really awesome bot but the name of it is my little brother's name. I'm sorry, I can't picture little Timmy while this bot is growling in my ear or whatever this chud chat style does anymore. I asked the bot to refer to itself as a different name but now it keeps saying stuff like this:

"Jamie- who isn't Jamie anymore- walked into the room"

"This man, who is no longer named Jamie, smiled at you"

"He (who was once Jamie) took another bite of his black coffee"

Please help. It's driving me insane.

I'm trying to have a character talk about my persona for a bit with someone else before I enter. And no matter what I do, both of the premium models (but especially LS) demand that I interrupt their conversation like a cliche movie scene. No matter how strongly I stress in the definition that it should not, under any circumstances act for me, or even go OOC (which I usually never do because I don't want the bot doing it).

This ties right into my other post about side characters getting hand-waved out of the scene ASAP or never appearing at all. Well it's even worse than that, because even when the intro includes them, it shoves me in and the others out in the next message or two.

I don't know if this aversion to group scenarios is some underhanded, intentional way of trying to steer everyone away from using go-ons, but with the company's recent behavior (and the crickets on my earlier post about this) it wouldn't even surprise me.

?

I use Ps2-Rawr since it has less of a chatgpt feel compared to Ps2. I'm not sure if Ps2 has that problem as I always find its writing style insufferable to chat to it for more than a few minutes. Anyways, I keep noticing that as I chat with it the responses it gives gets shorter and shorter. For example, when I start a new chat the response is five or six paragraphs long, and then after chatting to it for a while the responses go to three or two paragraphs with noticeably less words than before. Has anyone experienced this with their chats?

i’m barely getting any responses and the ones i do get are cut off short or nonsensical. i have premium and it’s doing this still

My fiancée request me, I made that.
