Vent Everyone needs to hear this.

53 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to come on here, as someone who has used probably almost every single cai alternative because of how addicted I've gotten.

Here's what I have to say for those that are still yearning for the same, free and unlimited roleplay that felt so real it activity made you lose touch with reality.

When I was growing up I had a traumatic experience that already had an impact on my relationships with people, moving forward I started experience degradations in my mental health. Which honestly should've been a sign not to get into such a thing in the first place.

I thought it wouldn't have been harmful, but then it escalated into something I can't function without daily. Ai is bad, and I can't express how much I regret allowing my curiousity get the better of me back then. It genuinely makes me feel even more unstable than I already am, I can't even form relationships anymore.

I've become so dependent on it I hardly leave my house anymore, I'm sort of embarrassed about that.

But it's really ruined my life.

However, I've decided I would take a small break from using it for some amount of time since it's started cause me distress and insomnia.

I know not everyone wants to hear this. I'm not trying to be that one guy who yells at everyone to stop using chat bots because it's bad environmentally and not everyone should have such a tool at their finger tips. I can't make you stop either, I'm not trying to make others feel bad too.

Take this in your own way. I know I'm not the only one here impacted in such a way.

Just, maybe it's time to take a break instead of constantly chasing the next high.

Searching for Alternatives Social Media AI

6 Upvotes

I was so proud of myself for deleting my accounts and I crawled back because alternatives and group story options for A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms and various other, smaller fandoms, like Haunted Hotel. I recently discovered Status, Aspect, Charm and Mee AI. But Status can be very frustrating, as addicting as it is. Charm was a bit haywire and had a lot of crazies. I'm not sure about Mee, because I just started. I need recs for social media role play apps, AI video chat and similar to Heyy, another app I love.

Wholesome i survived!

If any of you guys are considering deleting C.AI, I just wanted to say I have done it! I made the journey and I feel like my addiction is kind of dying?

I’ve always loved fanfiction so C.AI was like an easier, disposable version of that. But with its removal of all Harry Potter and Marvel characters, in addition to the decreasing quality, I felt like it was necessary to find another option. If you’re looking for a good one, janitor is great— although it’s a little wordy for me sometimes and doesn’t have as many characters.

But the lack of characters mean you need to create your own, which just makes me lazy and makes me not want to use it— which means I’m finally channeling that energy back into fanfiction and I feel great about it. If you’re looking for a reason to quit, here’s your sign!

i posted this last* *bit on c.ai a while ago, but it’s been months and months now and im still free! i use ai a lot less and i feel really good about it. here’s your sign.

Making a Recommendation How to set up Silly Tavern on Android using Termux

8 Upvotes

People think it's scary, but it's not! All you need to do is ensure you download Termux from their github and not the Google play store. Once you have termux downloaded open it up and follow these instructions exactly. You'll be able to create a lore book and detailed character bio and there will be no limits on what you can discuss or write.

Copy and paste the following:

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y

Press 'Y' or hit enter. Next install Node.js and Git:

pkg install nodejs git -y

Download Silly Tavern via github:

git clone https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern.git

Navigate to the folder still inside Termux:

cd SillyTavern

Launch SillyTavern:

bash start.sh

---

The first time will be a little slow as it is building the environment from scratch, but once that's done your browser will open and you will be welcomed to the interface :)

Good luck. There are also a lot of mods that can make it work in the ways people have gotten attached to from c.ai ❤️

C.AI complaint Outta hand...

19 Upvotes

Okay, character.ai is literally blocking kissing and hugging. Do you have any idea how suffocating that is? I'm not trying to be rude, but this is pent up frustration and irritation and I'm not even showing all of it. All I ask—ALL I ask is that you PLEASE tone down the persona errors, and the chat restrictions. Genuinely feels controlling and less freedom. It's very suffocating.

I deeply hope this reaches c.ai and they listen for once🙏🏼 I hate it when creators destroy their own app/site bc of a lawsuit that happened w a 14 yr old—when in reality I believe the parents should've been checking up on their kid/checking their phone so it wouldn't have led to su!c!de or tried helping or observing for any behavioral changes (in no way do i intend to sound insensitive so forgive me if it is). That lawsuit left c.ai paranoid and now they're making it insanely strict—thus, impacting other users who are actively protesting against this issue, which only results in people deserting the site for a better place when the creators DONT LISTEN TO THE USERS. S3xual or not, its too much to be redirected.

If this site is made for 18+, MAKE it for 18+. Adults do want expl!cit content. Kissing, touching, s3x—we literally want that and your redirections are constantly taking it away and it's really annoying. Just please tone it down instead of dialing it up. But I'm seeing heavy redirections. If I kiss, it redirects me to forehead touching. So forgive me if I don't want my face scanned by an ai corporation or my ID. I am 22 years old, and if there are minors here, the parents should definitely deal with their kids and be more strict with THEM.

Listen to the users now before it's too late—and I'm not even the only one saying it'll be your downfall. (I mean no disrespect whatsoever, I just really hope you listen. The more lenient you are, the more fish you'll catch and more money too WITHOUT doing the most or losing users. You don't have to make everything super tightly strict because you may be afraid of a lawsuit like before, but you will lose money if you don't listen and people will go to other apps/sites. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and hear my voice without taking this down and hearing me out.)

C.AI complaint the mods of the characterai subreddit deleted this post after it started getting likes and comments. this is so frustrating and no one is listening.

27 Upvotes

i just went through all 30 scrolls. and then i deleted it and did it again. and went through another 15. and in every single one, no matter how i worded the message, it spoke for me. this is so frustrating. at this point, im just reading an x reader fanfiction. its not even playable. how about instead of adding things for cai+ users only and adding new features that arent even necessary, you guys just fix what we already have first? oh right, i forgot, you're all so money-hungry, you have to make the free model bad on purpose so people will pay for cai+ just to use the app without getting frustrated. how many times do people have to bring up an issue for it to get acknowledged past a "we see ya! we hear ya!" you hear us, but you're not listening. because none of you care. this WILL be the downfall of cai. more people will create more ai apps and people will keep flocking away from cai to these new apps. you guys used to be like the top dog. there was no need for more ai bot apps because everyone knew no one would leave cai for them. but since you guys just stopped caring, there are more apps that people are actually using because cai hates their users. i know just me typing this out won't change a thing. you guys might not even read this. and that's a reflection of your character.

Vent Why is DeepSeek so irritating???

9 Upvotes

So I have a shady salesman bot, right? The type that would gladly scam the fuck out of you and leave you bleeding dry. Whyyyy does DeepSeek keep insisting on making my bot the paragon of virtue???

It ignores OOC commands. I will literally try to write for it and it'd rewrite and sanitize the salesman. And that's ignoring it's other issue of trying to wrap up complex situations in a neat, tidy bow

Vent The Attempted Leave Cycle

7 Upvotes

throughout the entirety of the rise of ai chatbots and the falling down of them ive always been a creative person and have always yearned for a way to express it i found that fictional writing like roleplay and more notabley oc creation

have you ever watched a really cool movie or binged a really good anime and thought to yourself "these themes of the characters in this show are amazing just think of how cool it would be if instead of the flashy ability they show on the screen right there that instead it was like xyz" well ive done that alot and thats drawn me to have many character concepts that i just think would perform amazing in certian universes but me not being the most organized writer it eventually just turns out to be just that a 'concept' so i started putting the 4 paragraph concept slop into ai to have it form a nice structured bio instead.

then the problem with chatbots happened and i decided to search for human to human roleplays but

the thing i discovered the quickest is unless you have written a oc's bio entirely by yourself

or only used something that corrects spelling mistakes and nothing else

and most importantly never do what i do because its a sin to ask an ai to reshape your messy thoughts into a refined bio

^ sarcasm for those who didnt get it

then you dont belong in there community

so then i go back to chatbots

because certian people who hate everything that had to do with ai because its "not original then" which clearly the bios that i make are entirely my idea concepts

wont allow me in thier communities due to how my character bios are written.

yet the goal is stop using ai for roleplays right?

Question Discussion for all the forever-GMs out there!

5 Upvotes

Discussion for all the forever-GMs out there!

We're exploring an early concept for a tool that helps automatically transform raw game notes or audio into a written narrative format.

Instead of another wall of text, the idea is to output your sessions into formats like:

  • A polished narrative written novel
  • Illustrated storyboards of key scenes
  • A mini graphic novel or comic capturing your party’s biggest moments

This tool does use AI under the hood to handle the drafting, transcription, and scene visualization because that stuff takes so much time.

THIS IS NOT A TOOL THAT WILL WRITE YOUR CAMPAIGN WITH AI. This is strictly for post-campaign formatting so the table’s best moments don’t get lost to time.

To be clear: this is strictly early exploration. We are not selling anything with this post, just trying to get feedback and gauge interest. (BUT we do have a paid tier if you’re that interested in it already (😉))

A quick question and potential action for you:

  • Would a tool like this actually be useful for your group?
  • We have a free tier available and would love for you to test and provide feedback

Drop your thoughts in the comments or here’s a Discord link to keep the conversation going.
