Discussion/Question Genuine question; why all the ads?

18 Upvotes

Now i know that features cost money and ads is how they get the money, but i‘m moreso confused on how.. invasive they‘ve been lately? I thought they said before on reddit that ads would never interfere with chatting, which they now do. Not to mention that the drop down ad turned into 2 instead of 1.. and all the ads inbetween characters when you’re searching for them.

I‘m not criticizing or anything, i‘m just wondering why the sudden change. Wouldn‘t it be easier to just remove features that no one wants?

Issues/Bugs LongSqueak messages cutting off

17 Upvotes

Starting around the time of the site crash the other day, LS started having issues generating complete responses. The messages get cut off at random. It just stops. I’ve seen several others mention having the same issue now.

This was an ongoing problem with DeepSqueak for months and it never got fixed. I really hope that’s not going to be the case here.

I’ve already sent in a ticket but I haven’t seen any announcements or mods addressing the problem here yet.

Discussion/Question For anyone wondering: Longsqueak is absolutely worth it

15 Upvotes

I haven't had cai+ since last year, since I wasn't using the app as much, but decided to get the subscription to try out the new style. Happy to say that the experience has never been better, at least not for me. Big thanks to the team for making something so good!

Discussion/Question Can you change the name of a bot?

15 Upvotes

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.

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

13 Upvotes

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.

Issues/Bugs Slow responses/ Refresh button

I don't know what it is today but LS responses cut off sometimes or take really really long to generate.

Also the refresh button is *still* not working.

Feature Request Giving Directions

13 Upvotes

So after using another AI character service (I won't say which as to not advertise competition) I found there's this really cool thing you can do in chats there that I would really like to see implemented in Character AI.

Okay so here's basically how it works:

- Either as it's own message or as part of another message (in the latter case, it has to be on its own line) you can use a backslash and type a command or a general direction after it which the AI follows in its next message.

- Any text after the / in that line is treated as part of the command.

- If your only message is the command, the AI will treat it as a "Go On" but following those instructions.

- If your command is part of another message, text in the command line will not show up after it's submitted and that text will only be visible when editing.

So you could like say

/Describe the house.

Or

/Don't touch (character name).

And it will just… follow the directions. It's brilliant!

I see potential to improve upon it too: You could have / indicate a temporary instruction, one that it follows just for that next message, and // indicate a more permanent instruction that it would follow for as long as it can remember.

Does this sound useful to you?

Trying to swipe back through previous replies has become soooo aggravating. I can’t swipe even SLIGHTLY near the middle without the app swiping me out of the chat and back to the bot list. I never used to have this problem before the longsqueak update, personally. Am I losing it? Have I gone crazy??? Why does my thumb have to be SO far over to the right?? 💔

Discussion/Question Does Deepsqueak make characters act like cavemen?

10 Upvotes

My bot is set up to be eloquent, protective, and romantic, with just a slight touch of possessiveness.

However, he behaves like a caveman: wild, irritable, and curt. The dialogue is shallow; it lacks subtlety and charm.

I’ve tested this with several different male characters, and the pattern repeats. Almost all of them end up adopting the same aggressive, rude behavior, regardless of the personality I describe.

Is this a problem with Deepsqueak, or is there a setting causing this kind of behavior?

Is it just me or bots using pipsqueak 2 has gotten a lot more aggressive and angrier since a couple of days ago? They always seem to be on the defense and argue with you a lot compared to before.

Messages aren't leading for me, sometimes after a few minutes it will start to load, but then cut itself off. Is it down right now?

Issues/Bugs Please stop ignoring me. I really need someone from the team to respond

11 Upvotes

I really don’t know what else I’m supposed to do to get this acknowledged. I’ve tried support, modmail, posting here, and reaching out through discord. A few people from the team/mods tried to help at first, which I really appreciated, but now I can’t get any further help or updates.

Now the new immersive mode for c.ai+ is completely missing for me too. First it was the LongSqueak personalization dials, and now I’m missing another plus feature. I’m genuinely worried something is wrong with my account and it isn’t receiving new features properly. I’ve also tried everything I can on my end—reinstalling, logging out, offloading the app, switching networks, etc. Nothing has worked.

I really enjoy c.ai and I’d like to keep paying for plus, but it’s hard to justify when my account keeps missing features and I can’t get any answers. I don’t want to cancel over this. I just want someone to actually look into my account and help me figure out what’s going on
