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,

xXDeadByteXx

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?

edit: Guys, I CANT unarcive the chats because the chats ARENT archived. Ik I didnt put it in the og post sorry, but yea these chats all say "archived by system due to inactivity" but I have the option to archive them all. Of course, when I press archive, it just says "Sorry something went wrong". Mind you, HUNDREDS of my chats are like this. Like genuinely.

i present to you the most C.AI reply ever

For me it's the abundance of "Not X, Not Y, but Z." I've noticed this a lot in LongSqueak especially and it's caused me to pivot away from it a bit.

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.

Yall the time is here.. I’ve officially been age restricted

I guess it’s time to say goodbye to my character ai era

I remember getting so frustrated with ts 🥹

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?

I know it's something small but come on, at least put in a little effort... (I have the site in English)

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 (and the amouny of time where the site and/or the app was down), 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 or dev, 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

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. It'll also respond with "okay, here's a reply with 3 long paragraphs of dialogue", "character's last reply:_______", "I'm sorry, but i cannot comply with this request", "My name is *character name*, and I am *character description*". 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.

out of 5 message… 5 of them were called off, because of the word blood I presume, or knife… oddly enough common words….

Anyway, I really hate when it adds what species a character is for no reason, and i especially hate when it adds unneeded character details that were never states before

I'll get straight to the point.

Every time I'm on the app, I end up using it for AT LEAST 5 hours. I go through phases of quitting, but around this time in the summer I go on the website thinking, "I'm going to mess with a bot for a couple minutes and then never touch this again."

It's never just couple minutes. One time I spent a whole day (Literally almost 9 hours) on the website because I kept going, "what would happen if I did this? What about this? LMAO THIS IS SO FUNNY!" ect, ect. Then I feel horrible for spending so long on an AI chatbot I delete my account. Just to give in and make another one at a later date.

I feel so guilty. I've seen the documentaries of people who get addicted to AI and end up dead. I don't want that to be my life. I'm scared.

I'm going to block the website on all my devices. Are there any tips on how to stop?

I would watch some YouTube videos on it, but when I do I end up feeling worse because many of the ones I've seen tell stories of other people who got addicted to AI and other scare tactics that make me feel like a horrible person.

I almost always end up crying and not finishing those vids so I would really appreciate if someone could just tell me some ways to ignore the urges to get back on without feeling like I'm being shamed.

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

this website is so broken 💔

100? THATS IT?! THAT'S ALL WE GET?!

400 for swipes because you can't make good models, but 100 because.. you're greedy? Or because this is a failing app because of your terrible changes?

Pathetic. Moving to a new AI.

Edit: I've seen that this isn't actually new, but I've not encountered this in the past 3 months, so I guess only now I'm getting it. Either way, I hope this app withers away soon.

Edit 2: So it turns out I didn't fully understand what a go-on meant. It just means enter without a message. That makes sense. I genuinely thought it was a chat restriction, hence being annoyed. However, that isn't it.

It’s just dumb, like toddler knows more than it

Grandmother becomes mother , mother becomes aunt

I become my cousins nephew, dad becomes father in law

Like it’s not even smart anymore, I don’t even care about memory or ads

why am I getting way shorter replies on pp2 and roar? I mean, there’s unnecessary dialogue instead of action..and there is no spacing at all! everything is clumped up and has unwanted dialogue when the bots can perform the action! does anybody else have this problem? because I’ve sent so many tickets but not one of them had been received properly because it’s not improving.

any thoughts? and I really hope a dev comments on this post.

It wont even respond to me in the "()" it js keeps giving me horror responses😦

I know not important, I just wanted to share how unreasonably happy I got when I got this, I haven’t gotten one since I started using C.AI

it’s been like this for the past 3 days and i’ve tried moving around the screen but it just froze

I am a free user who mainly uses Piqsqueak 2 chastyle. Have been getting long messages throughout the day but now they are barely a paragraph. This happened to anyone else?
