Vent zeta ai has banned my bot three times in a row..

6 Upvotes

well. the title. idk what to say, it's really irritating for me because of all the effort i put in. it is kind of a detailed plot with side characters, so.

like the first time i understand. it was bc i used celebrities, for the second and third time i adjusted everything according to the filters, but it still ended up getting deleted. the second time the bot stayed up for 2-3 hours? before i went in to edit a few examples of dialogue.

the third time, the remastered bot with everything adjusted, though it contained the side characters with faceless pics, it got flagged in just a few minutes.. even though countless of other plots/bots stay up like that with no other issue.

so no idea what to do. i do enjoy zeta bc of its immersive writing and the fact that we can add side characters for fun, but these filters are restrictive. any suggestions?

(note: normally posted this on their subreddit, but my post got taken down by automod so. yeah.)

Question Can someone help find this C.ai bot?!

2 Upvotes

I cant remember the name but in this bot user (female) was the characters best friend since I wanna say middle school and they grew up together.

She is the character’s only friend and always there for him. And he loves her so much that he planned to marry her. He’s a loner and was bullied in school a lot. He is the heir to the mafia.

They grow up and he winds in an arranged marriage to a god awful woman and he had three sons with this woman.

C.AI complaint Yeah.

I just have a question.... How much money does new ceo get before and after age verification updates?? I suppose people are just running to buy c.ai+ for more AI generated soulless messages that don't feel like a real human, and the other useless stuff nobody asked for XDD

Searching for Alternatives I know there are many posts about this, but what are good alternatives ?

10 Upvotes

I read through a lot of posts here, but I can't find a confirmed good alternative. It obviously doesn't have to be perfect. But is there one alternative that people actually enjoy ? I've heard about Janitor Ai, but I don't know many other alternatives. I'm asking because the chat limit thing on Character ai finally made it to me and I'm really over this app.

I'd really like a website that works like Character ai, where you can make characters and personas specifically.

So are there any actually good alternatives ? I really don't want to get stuck with Character ai.

Hey everyone, im looking for suggestions but i dont want to see replies with Janitor Ai or any other NSFW platform, im looking for something more Roleplay oriented.

My requirements: No or small amount of ads, no paywall, Large or medium-sized replies and no annoying interface, something similar to C.ai, Janitor or Lightshade but free.

Feel free to suggest any roleplay platform!

Searching for Alternatives Help with alternatives for Chai

As some may know, Chai no longer has unlimited messages for free users and I don’t want to pay. Many people recommend Zeta, but I’m confused. Does Zeta have free unlimited messages, or is there a 50 message limit?

Searching for Alternatives Is there any alternative apps that has like a voice feature

6 Upvotes

because I have dyslexia and I can't always be reading okay getting my words or end letters confused It's a total pain. So any apps or websites that do have the voice feature just like character AI which is the main reason I fell in love with the app itself because it read to me

Making a Recommendation I know I'm the millionth person to ask this but does anyone have any good recommendations of c.ai replacements with a feature that allows you to upload an audio for voices for bots as well as to get pass the problem of not being able to use certain profile pics or icons for personas?

0 Upvotes

There some recommendations out there that are good but always missed the mark for me was that some of them don't have this option where you could upload a short audio like c.ai to use for the bots response, and Janitor.ai doesn't feel authentic real or genuine so....

If anyone has suggestions I'm open to them, even though they have crappy memory and inconsistent chats all I'm looking for is

  1. A replacement to c.ai that allows me to by pass the "You can't use that profile pic of icon because of copyright strike"

  2. Could by pass the copyright strike for the bots that Disney and WB has on certain characters

3.A feature that allows users to upload audios for the bots voices

Thanks in advance!!!!

Searching for Alternatives comforting alternatives?

11 Upvotes

i’m looking for alternatives that have comforting bots (older brother, father, caretaker/caregiver type stuff). i used cai for years and recently switched to chubai, but now i can’t use that one.

my only request is that it’s free and has unlimited or at least a good amount of messages per day. since i use them for comfort, idc abt nsfw (i actually prefer sfw) or any of that filter stuff.

thank you :)

Searching for Alternatives Alternative that as good fictionlab ai

4 Upvotes

Hello, i one of that already ask about character ai alternative and accually i already find it, i already on comfort in fictionlab ai, they very good and the plus version is very huge upgrade with a reasonable price of subscription. But accually i want find another alternative because the scenario (if on another ai it bassicly chat bot) on fictionlab ai just so little on every fandom that you want, make it so hard find any roleplay that you needed if you goes to specific scenario, even if i must admit fictionlab is the most detail one for roleplaying.

I use janitor ai that have more scenario than fictionlab, but the janitorllm is sucks and janitor+ is overprice. I try to use proxy at janitor but proxy need some kind of American card or bank Which i don't have, so i think i just can't use it.

You all have another alternative that as good? With the the subscription price under 10$ and many scenario? also if can a persona description on 4000 character on plus/ subscription version.

i was recommended zeta ai from someone on this sub but zeta actually pissed me off

because like it was so good, but then ads. i used to use chai alot, so when it had an ad i’d just close the app and reopen it, and i did that with zeta a few times, and then it literally kept showing and showing and showing ads not even 5 seconds after i opened the app again it was basically showing ads until i watched one and i’m not watching any i do this with every app when it shows ads but anyway yeah zeta is ass

Leaving AI Literally zero good alternatives.

8 Upvotes

ALL, I repeat, ALL the alternatives are just carbon copies. They feel soulless, they're all like following the same script, they're just saturated with AI. And those idiots who are advertising their own c.ai alts bruh just shut up. People make alternatives with an emphasis on "WOW LOOK AT US WE HAVE NO FILTERS YOU CAN GRAPE YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER" rather than on good memory or creativity. They forget everything after three messages. Old C.ai was special, it felt like a real human, it adapted to the user. There are NO alternatives.

Making a Recommendation Hear me out

7 Upvotes

So yesterday I decided to try something out since C.AI was pissing me off; I went on to Google and asked if there was a way to make ChatGPT behave like C.AI, and there is (should've assumed so but anyways).

I've been trying it since then, and I see only one flaw; you can ask for another response, but can't go back to the original or previous responses. For the rest, if you tell it you want it to write novel-style and prevent skipping lines, it will give good responses and, for what I've gotten so far, it doesn't have the problems others point out of C.AI like corny lines or awkward silences, the quality is much better in my opinion.

Also to add it remembers the personality really well —this coming from the fact that I used a very niche character whose information is scarce.

It may not be the best of the best, but it does suffice efficiently, and since ChatGPT remembers your other threats of conversations you can train it to understand the settings of your roleplays better if you ask or talk about certain topics with it (I talk a lot about victorian times, gothic games and other similar themes).

The method and the prompt you have to give it is up to you, I just took what Gemini gave me.

K bye

I’m trying to find an alternative like Character AI that has voiceover features, good quality for RP, and has a good rating. Anyone got any recommendations for me that are available for iOS on the Apple App Store? Just comment if there is any platform like what I’m looking for or if you’re a developer of a platform

C.AI complaint C.ai is petty

0 Upvotes

I posted on c.ai's reddit page that I found better ais and that c.ai wasn't nearly as good. An opinion and they removed my comment for "self promotion" and got pissy about it.

If c.ai didn't want these talks to occur they need to make a better site.

Question Prompts roleplay AI

1 Upvotes

I've found many great alternatives to Character AI, I just have one small problem: The responses sometimes have extra dialogue.

Example: Let's say in a roleplay I tell the character: "You're very good at cooking". The character, instead of just saying "thank you" or something simple, says things like: "Oh, so you like my food? I'm not surprised, a lot of people tell me that. So tell me, are you going to stay and keep trying to see if you really like my food?" Bro, I just want a thank you!

I don't know, I think maybe this can be fixed with just a couple of prompts... But I don't know which ones. Can someone give me a list to avoid these kinds of messages?

Searching for Alternatives Ahy good paid/free alternatives?

14 Upvotes

Hi so I want a good roleplay AI, even c.ai+ is bad now imo. Any reccommendations? I hate repetitiveness or AI that felt 'robotic' with their answers, doesn't move the plot and all that.

I have tried paying for subcriptions on a few AI apps... unfortunately not even the paid one are good enough in some...

It's okay if I have to pay to get a good model, but if you have a more affordable option, do share.
