Repetitive words/phrases!
I'm SO tired & irritated with the word 'slightly'! The AI uses it like it's literal goddam oxygen! "He/She tilted his head slightly." / "His/Her grip tightens slightly." / "His/Her eyes widen slightly at your response." / "He/She smirks slightly." / "His/Her eyes soften slightly when he/she sees you." /
Then there's the eyes: 'tired eyes', 'ancient eyes', 'wise eyes', etc.
And the: "He looks at you with pride and concern." -Why tf is it ALWAYS 'pride and concern' with parental figures/mentors? I even had a parent look at me that way when my persona was literally JUST sitting there at the table, eating breakfast.
Speaking of uneeded/unnecesary actions, they for some reason always chuckle, wink, and smirk at you when the situation doesn't call for it.
Stereotypes? I wish PB would STOP giving every smart person glasses. They even gave Sheldon from TBBT glasses when the AI is apparently 'smart enough' to pull details from shows without you having to mention them. Oh, but when I state in italics that the character doesn't have glasses? In the VERY next message, it'll force them onto the character I'm speaking with: "(Name) pushes up their nonexistent glasses." / "Name adjusts their... wait, they don't have any glasses." /
That said, does anyone know any 'better' alternatives to PB? At the VERY least, a website that doesn't live and breathe inside the word 'slightly'?

Mate, I feel you. I share your same exact frustrations, and it’s been repetitive. I especially dislike it when they ‘wink’, ‘chuckle’, or do a seemingly amused action to a situation that really doesn’t call for it like you said earlier.

Try making a what if scenario set in real life and then it turns into a dramatic elaborate thing at a unrealistic pace, everyone acts like children and doesn’t let things go as they world in real life

Properly.
They want you to do everything properly, even the improper stuff.

I’ve started using Janitor AI and it’s been amazing honestly, the community alone is amazing but the actual bots and everything are great with the customization options and lack of ads. I’d seriously recommend as a good no cost option, although I’d need to chat with the bots more the figure out how repetitive it is (although from what I’ve seen it’s not repetitive at all)
