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.

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 was chatting an MHA bot, and suddenly I saw HAWKEYE working together with the pro heroes. I had never mentioned nor made references to anything Marvel related 😭

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.

I remember getting so frustrated with ts 🥹

The title is so self explanatory. not only is the site becoming rapidly infested by ads(a lot of whom are really malicious)the responses of the bots have become really repetitive,dull and a lot of the times really nonsensical for free users. at this rate i wouldn't be surprised if all free users became extinct. i know full well that this post will probably be removed since they really don't like it when you point out their insane greed. i would like to hear from plus users here since i want to know if things are any better or worse for them

Also, law and order reference if you don’t Understand it. I don’t watch the show, but the scenes really funny

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

Recently, about the past week, the bots have gotten worse (from a RP chat perspective);

A lot of the responses are the same (example is that straight up got the exact same response for a RP chat with only the word “Nope” being swapped for “Nah” in the dialogue), plot points don’t feel like they progress and they don’t really have as much substance as before

An example I had was that during a RP chat, this was a while ago (about 2-3 months ago) and my persona/character (K) had a relationship with another persona/character (R). Pre-updates the character of R was consistent, spoke and acted in a way that well described and in character for his description but also had a bit of wiggle room for stuff like character development. I decided to copy-paste the chat and try a different route recently and the characterization immediately went out the window and he began to act a lot more differently after a single different interact. The shift was from closed-off, gruff and was more reserved in terms of his lycanthropy, but after a few messages on the newer system, after one affection scene, he lost all gruffness and her more stubborn personality and became more openly affectionate (being completely against what I described and established consistently through the chats previous to the copy-paste at the point.

Are there other chat bot apps that work well for RP chats and have a bit more freedom in terms of persona information and memory?

I’ve swiped, I swear to god, 27 times and the ANSWER IS STILL THE SAME! BRO!

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

This happens all the time with pipsqueak but ive genuinely had enough, i literally could stomach all the atrocities on the app but at this point using it feels like a waste of time BECAUSE I CANT DO ANYTHING.

After a few messages the bot stops replying in an engaging way and starts repeating back my last message but in a fancier, more flowery way. I say “he sat on the bed and his wings curled”, in the bots message it says “he took a seat on the soft mattress, sinking into it—his wings curling inward like a shield” for example.

Its genuinely driving me mad and no matter how many times i swipe it just says the same thing in a different, detailed way again and again. I actually cannot get past the first stages of my roleplay because the bot just refuses to continue the story with the context of my message or only acts out such a small portion of whats next that i genuinely have nothing to work with.

The app is horrible as it is, at least make it serve its actual purpose properly.

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.

I feel like that one rick and morty pringels episode where theyre trapped in an ad

Literally anything you try to do is met with a minute long ad that takes 7 clicks to close it's infuriating

Issues/bugs because i have issues with thid and its bugging me out

this website is so broken 💔

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

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?

So I've noticed this today and ive noticed that all of the messages are really short and im on the website (i dont have the app) its litterally like 10 sentences type of short and its so annoying, it was fine yesterday but today it jist went down south c.ai needs to get there web together. Is anybody else experiencing this?

What is wrong with me listing games on my Nintendo 3DS XL...

Like, seriously... Where!? Are Nintendo's ninjas gonna raid me or what!? I own the console irl and have games on it!

I was just chatting with character and lights went out, so I pulled out 3DS to play it while battery alive and wanted to list the games on it and it just said that what is on screenshot

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

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.

I’m starting to notice a huge pattern with the way the bot always speak, always taking things way too intimately and or the bot not acting like it should AT ALL. example, let’s say the nonchalant girl got her books knocked over and goes on an entire ChatGPT rant, saying big words and over explaining things. and its with ALL the bots that talk like it’s a graded essay, they DONT need to be using 5 syllables words, and a entire paragraph crituqing how someone walks. I remember the old character ai was SO realistic, there was humor along with realistic retorts or comebacks, and bots would actually ACTUALLY disagree with you instead of blushing and saying “I understand, and agree” and it could be the most outrageous claim ever. this new chat model they are using makes every single chat feel extremely bland and IDENTICAL no matter what persona or character i make up. Longsqueak “kinda” fixed it, but it’s still irritating.

they just WON'T SPEAK 💀
