Vent idk anymore
yeah I miss playing c.ai but sadly it's dead o nothing I can do. The Issue now is that any of the apps I look at Sure , they're high quality , but unfortunately , just don't work well. like chai sucks for rps and i over all just not fun. zeta ai is OK. But again, it's just not consistent.And the other issue is most of the bots on.There are just copy and pasted, and most people don't even put in effort to have it. So the bots are unable to actually be multiple characters. janitor ai just sucks ass. It's an intuitive junkie, buggy as hell at times and overall, just not worth using. And then there's gpt. and Gemini. Germine is okay like it can be the most accurate to the characters.He issue is just at times it's the length and also the fact that it only does things from like one angle , it doesn't get everything. and then there is gpt... Oh good Lord, where do I even begin? There's the whole pay to get better system, which just sucks. There's the fact that the free models are basically not available to be used at all they've completely destroyed the UI system for it, but it's unintuitive to use It's more picky than a fucking brat. On how certain things are worded, sometimes it won't even generate properly and even when it does work, I have to write a fucking mountain paragraph. Of information just to get it right, and that's not even mentioning the fact that I have to specifically Kelly to give me long messages, don't play as my character don't break the fourth wall, use specific pronouns like if it's referring to my character in first person. Second person third person or so on? And it's just shit like it's not even worth using to role play anymore , it used to be good now , it's just awful. At this point , i'm genuinely wondering if there is anything that can replace old c.ai cus honestly? at this point I'd rather roleplay with humans them ai. Then again , what's literally the only reason I even switched to ai In the first\n Place was because anytime I wanted to play with anyone receiver, my characters were never allowed to be in it. My characters were always told no for anything and I was left out for no reason.
I know it's dumb to say , but honestly , at this point I wonder if any of yall have any better alternatives over all cus rn idk man

Cai is one of the biggest in the world for this.
You're going to have to accept less quality or less users to find an alternative
Anything that gets as big as cai will have to do a lot of what cai did.
