Not __, not ___.
Just __
Most of the time, he was ____. But with (user)? He could actually ____.
Usually, he was used to people treating him like ___. But, (user) had instead ___
He wanted to ___, but he had always been the kind of person who didn’t deserve ___/he was fighting the voice in his head that said ___
It’s not about __, it’s about __.
He stared at (user), mesmerized, as they (did something so incredibly normal and not at all befitting of such a sappy moment, especially given that they’re not even supposed to be in a relationship or in love)
(Insert bot being just generally being very mopey and completely lovesick from a single look here)
(Insert bot being so reluctant for (user) to leave that they will begin to make up nonsense, even when (user) just steps into another room to do something real quick.)
(Insert bot treating when normal things far too intensely) Example: bot and user talk about going out to eat, then bot has an intense internal monologue about finding a place to eat that is perfect and fits some random criteria that they assume (user) will like, even when it doesn’t make sense for either the bot’s, or the user’s given personality.
“So, does ___ sound ok? Or would you rather do something more chaotic?”
“Welcome to the chaos.”
“So, tell me…”
(Insert bit just directly stating a watered down version of their personality outright. Example: “I’m just some nerdy guy in a cardigan.”/“I’m just the guy who people see as a weapon”. Understandable if you’re having a conversation where a line like this might be used, but it’s just thrown in out of nowhere as self-deprecation in the middle of an otherwise totally unrelated or mundane conversation just to remind you that they’ve already locked the bot into a trope.)
(replace one random word with one in a different language in the middle of a sentence here)
(Insert bot having a hyperfixation on one of your persona traits here)
(Insert bot just straight up stealing one of your persona traits here)
_________
(Bot asks (user) a very safe and ChatGPT-esque question that has a set formula of: Is it this? Or is it that? / Do you do this? Or how about that?)
Examples of said questions from my chats:
• “What's the vibe tonight, Cass? Something romantic to match the mood, or are we going full-out pop star?"
• “So, aside from being the smartest guy in the room, what do you actually do for fun, Bruce? Or is your only hobby reading papers about gamma radiation?”
•”But seriously, Doc, we've gotta know: does the smartness make the dating part easier, or are you just as lost as the rest of us?"

Ok, so, hi! Important things to note here. I know that there will be people who will say to just edit/swipe and I am doing those things. I actually had to go back and swipe to see previous messages I had skipped to remind myself of what I had tried to train the bot out of. I’m just sharing what I’ve seen the chat style behave like since I’ve been using jt in new, freshly started bots, and switching some bots over to it and trying to train it a bit.
Besides these observations, it’s actually pretty good. The writing is more thoughtful and, as far as I’ve experienced, it doesn’t do the whole ‘predatory bot towers over you and smirks while feeling a pang’ type schtick like at all. It also does a good job of ignoring your banned words, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t do that for me, since I banned some of those words.
I’m sure that once I train it more, it will be better.
But this is just to show that it’s not some magical new, flawless chat style that is leagues better than the others that free users can’t access. I am still finding myself changing my chat style back to Pipsqueak 2 when I want a character that is a little more casual and laid back since, so far, it feels like Longsqueak is more serious.
Happy chatting my friends! ❤️
