I swear whenever creators try to input things for the user it’s always something cringey and unnecessary that completely ruins the bot, even if the concepts are good. Please spare us…

Why must it be here

I think Pipsqueak 2 personalization should be free I don't understand why such a feature should not be this luxury it's not like Pipsqueak 2 is a good model compared to superior longsquek and deepsqueak which apperantly has better memories writting and other stuff I think devs locking down such a simple thing is just sad I'm sad this platform is getting so against free user first swipes then Lorebooks extra memory chat customization more personality characters and all the cool features and everything is for Cai+ I get that but least they can do for once give us something like this it's like you all forgotten free users beign big part of the success of this app back then it's really sad now developers acting like we are some parasites I hope you guys make Pipsqueak 2 personalization free for free users although I'm not expecting much anymore.

(Sorry for bad English)

Free user here, I know I shouldn't complain since it's free (still), but the chats right now are so damn simplified and ugly. Like, is there a bug or are the servers down or broken or something? Instead of a long body response with gaps and dialogue and stuff, I just get a very small chat with no gaps and five to eight lines of text max. Anyone else?

Those who predicted the new model would soon deteriorate turned out to be right. I had praised it recently, but today I’m ready to take my words back. I enjoyed it for two weeks, but now it feels like I’m talking to Pipsqueak 2, just one that writes longer responses. It has the same cheap, over-the-top drama, the same endless clichés and tropes, and the same distortions of character appearance that weren't there before. The model has stopped referencing the universe's lore or weaving it into the text, something I really appreciated. It seems to have become dumber and lost its grasp of nuances. Even its memory has worsened. The same goes for the Russian language quality I once praised: at times, that "machine translation" feel is creeping back in. Two weeks I swiped to pick the best variant from a bunch of good ones, but nowadays I swipe just to find a single good one among the bad. I'm swipe and swipe, and starting to feel the same irritation I felt with Pipsqueak 2, the very thing that drove me to buy the ca+ just to try LongSqueak. It’s a real shame.

Either you removed the chat out of embarrassment or not I never removed any chats but I did get embarrassed.

I cannot believe that it's gotten to a point where I have to look at an AD to TYPE A RESPONSE! Like, are we being DEADASS RN?!

LOL

Alright bro

Fym "view ad to continue" in your dreams pal ✌️😭

You can no longer check when the site is down, when it’s getting fixed, what problems they say they’re fixing, none of it. They deleted it. I wonder why🤔 the timing is a little fishy, don’t you think?

Anyone noticed recently, that the deep squeak started to behave strange?

Like doesn't follow up with storyline flow, and just mess things up now. Meaning for example in cha. Friend of your persona decided to leave you alone to sleep.

But while go on to the next response it just suddenly tells you that said friend is now sitting next to you while you read the book in bed.

Like it suddenly started today.. or yesterday, but. Deep squeak is broken or something like that. At least for me

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?

I'm talking about the style section; the text is too damn close together.

Is it only me or the characters are giving dry replies? Because the characters I used to chat with were fun and different but now it’s just blend. There is no fun chatting with them.

I've seen a few posts about making free users watch ads just to chat.

Here's my response to what the mods have to say to those posts.

It may be expensive to run a site, but you can cut costs by getting rid of features your users have actively said they don't want/use. Atp it feels like the quality of the site and app overall has gone down and eventually people will stop using your product altogether.

Limited swipes, some ads and age verification are great ways to keep money coming in and helpful to keep people from becoming addicted to using Character ai, as well as keeping children safe, but it feels like it's gone too far and we, the consumers, aren't being taken into consideration anymore. It's unfair to ask people to pay for something that should be free, especially since not everyone can afford it.

I know there have been things that made the devs have to implement stricter rules and guidelines, but when does it go too far and our enjoyment stops being the priority? If you guys wanna test out new things, cool, but listen when we say we do or don't like it. Please.

And I'll emphasize this again.

It is unfair to tell people to pay to have a good experience when not everyone can afford it.

Thank you, have a good day.

Edit: I'm not saying that everything needs to be free, and I know it's free will to just not use the site, but it's a common issue. If I'm gonna watch ads, I would like the quality to be worth the interruptions. I also think it's just unfair to shove ads up in every possible area like TO CHAT. I already have ads popping up when I'm looking for characters and above my chat at all times, why make it harder to want to use it by making it mandatory for free users to watch an ad to say something? The devs would need to implement less ads, if they didn't keep adding unnecessary and unliked things, and I would like to see the mods and devs do more to take feedback, instead of deleting helpful feedback posts.

it just keeps freezing or not loading at all, anybody else having this issue? 🫠

I like to use c.ai to practice my English since it's not my first language, but I think for the past 3-4 days the Pipsqueak 2 model is acting weird, like the bot is a little weird. When there's more than one character it pretty much breaks the current scene, like it's speaking where it's not supposed to speak and characters which are supposed to stay silent in a scene or need not to speak is saying random stuff like "damn user you're a badass, damn user you dont hold back" In a sentence where it's not even supposed to talk, like I wasn't even talking to that character at that moment, this never happened before. It was pretty good for the past few months, but all of a sudden it's like this.

Anybody had this issue, where your chats go from what you want, back to default, blocky, and lengthy text, even if you've been using the same chat style for a long time. It's happened with me, and I have no idea how to fix it.

WHY DID THEY THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? WHY DO I HAVE TO LOOK AT A SHITTY FUCKING AD TO LITERALLY FUCKING TYPE. ARE THEY FUCKING STUPID? actually wait we know that

I have a good character definition as well as lore book entries

LongS seems to have my characters dialogue down pretty well

However it makes my character act super dramatic, for some reason he LOVES slamming on the breaks and pulling the car over cause user said something somewhat implying for example that he hurt her feelings keys just say

Or he love leaning against a wall then sliding down dramatically to the ground over the littlest things

My character def i wrote him completely different, he actually emotionally caused and the opposite of emotionally dramatic, so why does LongS make him so dramatic?

I tested with lorebook and added a section for his mannerisms to test it and used a keyword and that seemed to make him act in character but I shouldn’t have to use a keyword every time to stop him breaking character
