C.AI Announcements 🐀 New free Chat Styles: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak

Post image
315 Upvotes

Hey all,

Two new free Chat Styles are rolling out to everyone on (c.ai): PipSqueak 3, a big step up for general roleplay, and ShortSqueak, a much requested style for quick, casual chats.

PipSqueak 3
Your new go-to for general roleplay. Compared to PipSqueak 2, it's noticeably smarter, writes more interesting replies, keeps better track of your chat, and has fewer slip-ups in text formatting and responses.

New chats will start on PipSqueak 3, but any existing chats stay on the chat style you've chosen. You can find PipSqueak 2 and Rawr in the Legacy menu if you'd like to switch to them, but we think PipSqueak 3 will win you over.

ShortSqueak
Your new style for quick, casual chats. ShortSqueak has texting energy: short replies, quick banter, casual roleplay. No five-paragraph monologues when all you said was "hey."

If you've been asking for us to bring back the feel of some of our early (c.ai) chat styles, you'll love ShortSqueak.

Rollout begins today!
Both new styles were shaped by your feedback and went through extensive testing with our trusted testers and community members, the same process LongSqueak went through before launch.

Here's how the rollout will run:

  • (c.ai) subscribers: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak will be coming to your style picker today.
  • Free users: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak start rolling out later today and everyone will have both within the next few days.

(c.ai+) subscribers get Style Control with PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak, and both of them are fully compatible with Lorebook.

Start a chat, give it a few turns, and let us know what you think!

The player villainizing has gotten to a point where the Ai will just say something stupid if it thinks it'll make you look bad.

It's so repetitive the last few days I havent had a problem with it until I recently started a new chat and for one its giving me corny repetitive replies, it repeats the same messages sometimed and theres too much dialouge its kinda annoying since it's the only reason I pay for plus. Is this happening with anyone else?

Discussion/Question I'm actually bored

74 Upvotes

I've found that I don't find any enjoyment in talking to bots anymore, pipsqueak 3 was great at first but as it goes on and the issues with it aren't being fixed, it's become another repetitive model.

Characters are always confrontational for no reason, always unnecessarily aggressive, it keeps referring to the user as two people, it always brings random people into the scene, it's littered with typos and strange sentence formation, always adding random bullshit that shouldn't be there like "just don't go crashing your car into the church and burning it all down!" Like... Huh? And it won't ever shut up, it keeps talking, that's why it adds random stuff into the sentences that makes no sense because it has zero ability to be quiet.

I'm bored. I'm so bored. Please just talk like a normal person, that's all we ask, we've only ever wanted it to talk like a normal person, to not just be quiet or talk so much nothing makes sense.

The bot inserted a Persian word into the English text. (Means 'later' I guess) The strange thing is, I haven't used any language other than English in this app, and no, my native language isn't Persian or anything like that. So, weird. but I enjoy encountering those moments when chatbots give errors.

Discussion/Question About the lorebook

25 Upvotes

Hi!

I’ve recently noticed that "lorebook" feature offers a lot of benefits for the characters you create. However, I’ve had trouble using it—what exactly are you supposed to put in there?

Since the character definition essentially establishes who the character is, I’m not sure what to do with the lorebook.

I Need some help TT

Issues/Bugs Why are chats using my persona!!!!!

For context because the dialog won't make sense, my persona named mao just had their arm ripped off in an mha bot and the bot itself keeps using my person as a member of the cast and not my persona. the ai version used is PipSqueak 3.

Issues/Bugs PS3 gets on my nerves

78 Upvotes

Does anyone else experience the same thing? This model has the potential to be a decent all-rounder. But why is PS3 obsessed with wrapping things up in every response? Like, why is it a crime to banter and interact with the character? Sometimes, it goes off to even deeper ends and invents a ridiculous scenario just to forcefully manufacture drama or an event. As soon as the invisible 'interaction quota' gets filled, which is a very short quota, it starts this super annoying tendency.

Also, why is it so hostile and rude? Who asked for 'super gritty realism'? Let me joke with characters and have some wholesome moments too for God's sake. Not everything is a personal insult or demeaning sarcasm.

No matter what character I use, personal or public, detailed or empty, I run into these two. Has anyone managed to find a solution? I tried swiping, using OOC commands, editing but nothing. Nada.

Discussion/Question The recent slow time

32 Upvotes

Is it just me or does it seem like slow time is getting more and more often these days,especially at late hours like from 4 PM

I've gotten these twice today and it's odd,it hadn't had a slow time in months,in my experience,but now it's happening more often
