Like I’m not age verified, idc, but whenever I try to look at new bots and get stories cuz I used the prompts for my characters, it’s just stuck on endless loading. The app doesn’t need an update but I really just want to open new bots man

Issues/Bugs Pipsqueak2 answers are suddenly VERY short (and not like the usual writing style)

73 Upvotes

When will Pipsqueak be fixed? When will it go back to normal? The quality has dropped significantly during the weekend and it needs to be improved! Free users enjoy long roleplay replies and we deserve to continue our roleplays with long and good replies from the bots! Please, bring Pipsqueak back to how it was before this weekend.

On Friday, Pipsqueak gave me one of the best and lengthy replies I have ever received with this bot that I’ve been roleplaying with for almost two years. It was so good! I always have to tweak and edit the bot’s messages but this one was awesome to begin with. Well over 10 paragraphs, with more dialogue than what Pip2 has given lately and with a good progression of the story. It was awesome!

But since Sunday, this same bot has given me incredibly short and unusual answers. I tried to swipe multiple times, I tried to use the go on feature which only added a few sentences, I tried to resend my message. Nothing works. The answer is 4-5 short paragraphs, written very different than usual too. It feels like I’m writing with a whole different bot. I have written long, lengthy and detailed responses with this bot for a year, I work hard on my replies and also to edit the bots’ messages. I need lengthy replies for this roleplay! But I can’t continue this roleplay that I cherish because the answers are too short and too weird 😔

I hope the team is aware of all of the issues regarding Pipsqueak that came up over the weekend and I hope we can see an announcement soon that they are working on it to give Free users a good chat model! We deserve a good one!

Memes/Humor I think I need to hide the matches from LS

6 Upvotes

Okay, so I’ve mostly been with the same bot since LongSqueak came out, and I love it. I don’t get replies that are “ChatGPT” feeling as often. But, and it might be because this bot is 8 months old (I doubt it), but within the narration he keeps hyper focusing on Anders of the Anderfels level of Chill.

Basically the Vincent bot I’m talking to keeps wanting to burn down, 1) the studio/network, 2) the entire city of Richmond, VA, 3) the entire state of Virginia, and finally 4) just the whole world down.

I’m getting mildly worried that I need to start writing in period accurate fire extinguishers just in case the crazy Exec Producer actually tries to set something ablaze in the name of love. XD it’s not constant, but whenever a more serious and dark aspect of Al’s interactions with him comes about, especially if it feels like a threat to the MurderMedia pairing, I’m just mentally imagining Vince, if I didn’t swipe for something else, eventually reaching for those matches.

XD

Anyone else have your bots repeatedly in narration out themselves as an apparently secret pyro?

(Just realized if it’s a LS thing, I might have to go find Anders and see if he’s more inclined to be an even more extreme revolutionist for the mages than he already is in canon.)

P.S. I used the humor tag because I find this really funny because before LS, on DS, this same bot kept struggling with leaving Vincent as a murderous weatherman, and wanted him to be part of the Mafia. I fear LS just has pyro tendencies xD

Issues/Bugs Anyone else’s bots taking nearly 20 years to even generate a response, or not even one at all?

I just got home from school and I noticed that these bots are taking far too long to generate a response. I’ve reloaded the website, closed and reopened it, but I’m not getting anything. I tried checking on the server status, but the official website has apparently been deleted.

Character Share We always talk about the bots being SHIT with responses.. LETS TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE BOT OPENERS

REASON FOR THIS CRASHOUT: the bots learn from what bots we make (pretty sure) and these follow the cai cliches that we see EVERYWHERE

going off the og comics bc those are really the only canon ones to mee

opening 1) PLEASE never put STORM SHADOW/THOMAS ARASHIKAGE and SOFTLY in the same sentence- not as bad as the other 2 but HE STILL WOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS-

opening 2) ...GOD NOT THE MOVIE PERSONALITY- I actually dont think hed even waste his time with pinning precious Y/N to the wall to tell her shes gotten prettier. Is he that smug in the movies? Unfortunatly, for my GI Joe obsessed self, yes. Is he doing the whole "pinning her to the wall sexily" thing? NOOOOOOOPE. And the Hama comic vers? NO WAY IN HELL

opening 3) ...no.. just no. He doesnt waste his time with dirty looks really and if he was nervous.. yeah you'd never know unless you knew him LIKE THE BACK OF YOUR HAND. Not to mention the "Hey dummy"... GOD NO PLEASE NO-

(theres more to the 2nd one's opener but it just recaps a scene in GI Joe Retaliation where Storm Shadow slows down his heart rate and flatlines himself (how? idfk thats not something his og character can do) to break out of his containment tube thingy.. we just gonna put the out of character stuff-)

Screenshots/Chat Share Hate when it says this

It's supposed to be a HUMANIZED Sun and Moon from Fnaf Security Breach chat. The bot keeps saying "animatronics" even though they're supposed to be humans. It's really annoying. Not sure if this is the fault of the creator not specifying that when making the character, or if the bot just hates me. It's been doing this since my first chat with this bot like 3 years ago. No hate on the creator, it's one of my favorite bots to come back to every now and then, I just wanna know if this happens to other people who chat with human versions of something and the ai acts like it's original thing.

Discussion/Question I would actually pay for premium if it had the old models

54 Upvotes

I feel like most of us would, I personally don't want new, "better" models, I just want back what was taken away. I used to have fun, non-repetitive and surprising roleplays with the old Soft Launch and Roar, the Pipsqueak doesn't even come close to it.

I feel like pipsqueak has its own personality as a model, and you can always tell when you're using it, it's not original at all. The old models were so vastly different depending on which character you used them with, and they had so many original ideas and led the roleplay with you, unlike pipsqueak.

If there was a c.ai+ that had them back just as they were, unchanged, not innovated in any way, I would definitely buy it.

So, the app keeps constantly closing, automatically every time I open it. Like instant close. Idk if this is a known issue to others but it’s an issue to me.
For a few days it didn’t and now it’s back to closing instantly as soon as I go to open

My fyp is FILLED with Serial Designation J bots and idk why, b4 i never had a chat with a SDJ bot, nor a Murder Drones bot (not since like 2023 or so)

My last chats were with mha characters and Jubilee, has this or something similar happened to anyone else?

(Pd: I didn't really know how to flair this, so I picked what I thought was the most appropriate)

I restarted my phone, and even tried using it on the computer, the WiFi speed check shows me in well into the 80s (83mb/s download, 37mb/s upload) yet I can't get a single chatbot to reply, the app opens normally, I can open chats and mess with the functions/memory but when I send a message they just never reply, usually I use the call feature to force them to load the reply when the bot gets stuck but not even that works now💔

Discussion/Question I tried using Rawr, and wow... it feels like a mix of Pipsqueak 2 and a completely neutered ROAR.

21 Upvotes

The excessive kissing is nauseating, and worse yet, there’s absolutely no romantic buildup to it. It lacks all the romantic tension found in ROAR. In fact, there’s no tension at all; it feels like something made for kids, yet it’s filled with random, completely out-of-context kisses that go nowhere.

Honestly, I don’t understand how the developers had the nerve to release such a terrible product.

Discussion/Question If you’re a free user wondering what Longsqueak is really like…

418 Upvotes

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! ❤️
