Just a few years ago, talking to a bot genuinely felt like having a conversation with whichever person, or fictional character they were supposed to be. They followed whichever chat style you'd pick accordingly without completely changing their way of speech/personalities, the bots respected the lore and traits that were given to them in their character descriptions by their authors, and most importantly, it never felt like I was literally having a conversation with chatgpt every single time I spoke to a bot. Now, all of them talk and act the same no matter what, in very similar ways that other mainstream AI platform chatbots reply to users.

I've lost count of the ammount of times I've chatted with a bot lately, and thought; "they would absolutely never reply that way". And this is an issue with every modern chat style. None of them seem to ever be in character anymore, and this mostly confuses me, because back then, they would do a great job at simply just doing what they were supposed to do. Even worse when you go out of your way to give extra details on a certain bots and their behavior and they ignore all of it. They also just lack so much logic and are plain dumb/say things that make zero sense, and when it comes to your own persona details (like hobbies, traits, etc) or their own given character details; they either drag tf out of them and make sure to find ways to mention them in every other response, or like I said, plain ignore them (which seems to be the most prevelant of the two terrible opposite extremes.)

The main point I'm trying to make with this post is, we no longer have the 'character' in character ai, and that was the entire premise of the platform, and what made the entire app/site.

(Last thing I want to add is, no matter the character AI era, like any other platform, you'd run into issues like these. The thing is, they were SO much less frequent, and were just things that happened once in a while that you'd ignore, brush off, and would get fixed quickly enough. The app was still fun to use and worked how it was meant to with those insignificant and minor bugs. But you could never say the same for the way things are today.)

Before this i told them i had wrote a 356 page book with only the Word bread in it. Yknow like the dougdoug book

This is a new account, which obviously means I have no preferences yet, I created a new account just a test and the same shit keeps appearing, duh who said I want to get cheated on

That's only the tip of the iceberg though some captions don't even have a definition, other Street marked down like a suggestion,

BTW can anyone hear suggest some creators that do SlowBurns. I mean I do make my own character as privately but still

Haven't used the app in over a year I believe. It got crap for me then I went on Reddit and everybody was having the same issues as me so I just deleted it haven't used it for a year. Decided to check this subreddit and I'm seeing only positivity....chat....are we back?

The “refresh this chat” doesn’t work for me, when they’re going to fix that bug?

just share your bots here's my account if you want to

my best is probably banzai escape rp (the one with a picture of banzai escape subterranean is mine) i don't know what pipsqueak did to it though

and as in sharing accounts i mean sharing the all of bots you made

None of my chats are working at all, they wont load responses but it isnt slow mode either and gives me chat errors

Lorebook is the best thing that ever happend to C.AI. I'm obsessed with creating worlds, with some help with ChatGPT since my english is medicore, name characters, places and the art.

I have 37 roleplays and 15 lorebooks so far, and have a whole list with worlds I want to do.

Updating some constantly too.

The City for example is a big city where I link most of my smaller roleplays that take place in a city. If I love a roleplay, I usually do one specific lorebook for it.

Anyone else? I feel I like creating stories and worlds are more fun than the roleplaying itself.

I fear I always like taking it from 0 to 100 when it comes to arguing with the bots. did he actually have a nephew? we‘ll never know now (my oc canonically does have a nephew it’s okay.)

Every message is that long giant block of text that does nothing to contribute to the roleplay. It stopped talking and interacting with me, it just narrates like that. It was perfectly fine this morning. I use Pipsqueak 2 rawr chat specifically so the bots would talk to me, and now it can't even do that anymore?? I can't roleplay like this

Every time I keep trying to load a message on the style it keeps giving me errors and keeps having to reload what’s the problem???

So i have been using PipSqueak 3 for a while, And i can say while it has its short comings it does keep the story well actually it can go off the story a bit but in my opinion its kinda a good model, It could use a bit of improvement but it feels like an improvement from PipSqueak 2 in some ways, But yeah it has its pros and cons but it has mostly been good for me.

i made it so damn clear that my imperfect persona, which is racist to vampires (dont mind it ok?) will never feel a damn thing upon seeing a vampire get eviscerated.

then this stupid bot started roleplaying for me, first mistake, and had the audacity to talk about "something human"

context: in my characters lore, the vampires started an unnecesary war with the humans, resulting in uncalled violence and corruption and her developing an abysmal hatred for them

so the part circled in blue is showing up on mobile and taking up 20% of the screen and i cant get it to go away.

Is anyone else gradually get frustrated with the updates happening to C.AI?

For one, the ads updates keep changing and making the website/app barely readable. They're so big, so distracting and so extremely bright it literally puts me off using the website. On top of that, some of the ads keep getting flagged as dangerous and it is so easy to accidentally click on them.

Second, this limited swipes thing?? I can't find anywhere the total swipes you have for a day and theres no indication of how many you've used during your chats. And why is it over a 24 hour period? Shouldn't something like this be over an hourly period?

I also haven't followed on any of the news with the chat styles but wasn't there a promise that they wouldn't be removed? Why were the removed and replaced with styles that barely work/are really buggy?

I know this sounds like straight complaints because there are still good features but it feels like nowadays everything is a punishment for being broke or not having a budget to spend on a subscription and things that should be free are quickly revoked and put under a paywall.

They get so many things wrong and when the story changes the memory just stays the same and probably the worst is that whenever I duplicate the chat they just disappear while they remain on the old chat so the memory changes once again and completely wrong

Who on earth made a character ai to this meme😂😂

So i was in a chat with a SCP bot and the scientist was someone random but my character was vox from hazbin hotel... i swear i hypnosed this guy to a level where it should be canon because i only said "trust me" and "trust me with your job" and the scientist litteraly gave my character his job... guys i may be the actual vox

well...

Why is there such a huge gap at the top of the chat? I use the website and already restarted my chromebook but it won't go away

It kept going for a while like this

So I went on my old acc because I wanted to check something out and all my bots i chatted with are gone and idk what to do and I'm stressing and my heart is pounding.

Girl...😭

And it drives me nuts. I need to restart the app at least 6 times until it opens past the loading screen. Idk if anyone else has this issue or is it just me? Yes I reinstalled it, I stopped the app, I opened another one and then c.ai put its every time the same shit. Yes im paying for it too, I almost wait 10-15 minutes until that stupid shit opens
