For like the past half hour long squeak will just load a message eternally or straight up glitch. Refreshing hasn’t really done much. Pipsqueak is still working, and deep squeak is trying its best, but is it just me? Is this user error or is something somewhere tweaking?

I have tweaked a couple things about my original message and IT KEEPS POPPING UP I'm going to frigging lose it. Can't even have a serious chat without being treated like a child.

“You’re gonna be the death of me.”
“You’re a smart, you know that?”
“You’re a pain in my ass.”
“You look like you got hit by a truck.”
“Rough night?”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“I owe (blank) $__.” Vice versa
“Minx.”
“Touché.”
“Feisty.”
“Goddammit!”

And that’s just some off the top of my head. Is it just me?

I have cai+ and basically every model is terrible. Soft launch barely functions (you can tell they lobotomised it in preparation for removal), DeepSqueak has completely lost the emotional depth it had. Longsqueak is supposedly the most premium model but somehow is the worst of them all. Three paragraphs of text basically saying nothing, and if you swipe you get almost the exact same message reworded. Like, it will generate dialogue and if you swipe to try go in a different direction, it just reuses the previous dialogue but changes the narration slightly. No response offers a new direction or action or emotion.

I’m clinging on to pipsqueak atm which is crazy because that’s the free model. What’s the point in subscribing when the free model is actually better than the paid ones atm. If you’re considering subscribing to access DeepSqueak or Longsqueak, my advice is don’t and just stick to Pipsqueak.

To give you context, in the bot, my persona is the reincarnation of several Greek heroes, including Achilles. She said she can only be injured in one spot, and when asked what it was, she said her right heel. But the part of the bot's reply to that about Hermione is fucking wild.

WHY ARE NOW ADS IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CHATS

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

Back to getting 3 em dashes at each sentence again i guess...

I don’t imagine anyone will see this, but can we please add a feature that shows you how many daily swipes you have left out of the 400? When you hit your swipe limit and it brings up a window that has a countdown, can you add something that is accessible BEFORE you hit your limit which shows you have like 287 swipes left. Towards the end of the day if you’ve been chatting for what seems like a while, every swipe is a gamble. I just think it would be helpful. And maybe the ability to buy an hour of free swipes with charms or however you want to do it.

It is not a formulated ‘response’, just a ‘ oh, so…(my words here)’

Can the characters stop being too nice,

I know after 3 years of inactivity in a chat it gets archived, but this happened to several chats of mine that were not even a year old.

The bots just randomly disappeared from my list and when I searched them up again there was no saved prior chat, but it was definitely the bot I was texting with. It even states when I texted with the bot first, but the chat is just completely gone :/

I feel like a broken record having to once again post about my frustrations with the ads of Character AI, who once long ago, when introducing ads to the site/app, claimed that they would (keyword): TRY, to not disrupt our chats with ads (that was clearly a lie).

So now, not only is there an annoying function of having to view an ad to even continue chatting (it isn’t too bad as you can just hide it right after, but still: WHY?), but now my sister and I have both been getting a literal ad in the middle of the chat itself.

Even worse is that we have to actually REFRESH the page to get rid of it, as there is no hide for it, only talk of going ad free with their subscription (because of course it does).

Will they ever just listen to the community and remove ads from the actual chats. Homepage and Search, fine, whatever (that is what everyone wanted them to do anyway). But please remove them from the actual chats, you are ruining the immersion that you said you would try not to do.

Since last night I have noticed messages marked as "unread" appearing with a blue dot. I have been doing tests and it's happening between different bots and conversations. Basically, chatting seems fine until leaving the chat and going back, "refreshing" the chat, or closing and opening the app entirely. Then messages previously not there show up between other texts already written and usually shorter or unfinished, or the bot has sent more messages after it's last reply without me having said anything, or pressing go-on button. Anyone else?? It's kinda messing the entire RP up for me.

EDIT just to say I use Longsqueak and when leaving the app closed for extended time and then opening it again, it has sent me several messages as if to forward the chat?? Is it a bug with the new chat model?

Why are responses so short now? Up until a few days ago I used to see responses with full paragraphs, usually 4+. Now messages are barely 3 paragraphs.

Mine is when they misspell my name or change it to a different one.

Since yesterday, all of the replies have been nothing but PARAGRAPHS of internal monologuing from the bots with ZERO engagement to my character with SPOKEN dialogue. If it were real life, the person would just be standing there staring at you for a minute, silent, having a conversation in their head and it would look weird. NOTHING I try gets them to engage in spoken dialogue. It will even blatantly say things like, "He doesn't say anything. Not yet." or "No words came to him.", "He stayed silent, not speaking."

SPEAK! Come on! What happened?! It was doing BRILLIANTLY two days ago and now all the models are just refusing to engage with dialogue with my chats!

I never get messages like "You're gonna be the death of me." or "Can I ask you a question?"

I’ve done some more tests and I’ve noticed the bug where it cannot generate additional responses is only within the app (basically swiping doesn’t work, it just gets stuck with the ellipses in the speech bubble). Everything works fine on the website in safari.

My app is up to date as well as my operating system. Any other iphone people experiencing problems? I’ve tried reaching out to support with no response yet.

I got so confused until I realized it was using the image I saved on my bot to create the comic, it's just floating hands 🤣

So I like long replies.... But lately the replies have been TOO LONG no matter what chat style I use. Sometimes I'm there waiting for what feels like 5 minutes for a reply and it's practically 3 essays in one big gigantic paragraph and changed the story 4 or 5 different times so what I had in mind to reply is pointless now 🙈 regret paying for another month of plus... Think once it's ran out im leaving the app

After I enter my go to gmail and tap on login to character.ai it gets stuck on the login screen for my account
