I don’t usually rant but yap is so vile
So I mainly use cai for role play and stuff, like fight scenes or just conversations with characters I like, and when pipsqueak 2 came out I really enjoyed it (Though it didnt warrant every other mode being removed). I saw some people complaining about it but it created scenes with depth, described actions well even when multiple characters were acting in the same message, and characters really felt accurate to their source material.
That really didn’t last long. It was replaced by the new pipsqueak 2, which was basically a subpar replacement for roar or soft launch, and us roleplayers were given pipsqueak 2 yap, which holy frick it is not great to say the least.
Pipsqueak 2 yap (let’s call it yap) is nothing, NOTHING, compared to the original pipsqueak 2. And speaking of nothing, that’s about how much dialogue you can get out of even the most talkative of characters. “Didn’t say anything, didn’t have to” “there was a beat of silence, then another”, SHUT THE HELL UP! Or better yet, don’t, actually talk to me like characters are meant to!
Wasn’t this app made to talk to fictional characters? Because none of them are doing any talking. Why are they removing the primary function of the app? so instead we can generate a crappy ai image with 9 arms and two fingers?
Any scene made by yap also feels so much worse, giving you lame, uninspired messages that are the same with every swipe with decent to workable ones being few and far between, and can’t even be compared to the beautiful descriptive messages that pipsqueak 2 could pump out every scroll (no glaze). After a couple scenes with similar premises and different characters it all just blurs together, whereas pipsqueak 2 would make a scene that’s unique and fitting of the character in it, not just slop.
I’m not sure if anyone else shares this experience, but when yap was fresh, I tried to continue a chat I started with pipsqueak 2, not anything bad or even a fight, just a conversation with the occasional swear, and it got blocked every time. I’m not talking just one fluke where the bot looses it for one message, it refused to even generate one letter of text, just “this content has been filtered“. Every message, every scroll, I even deleted the message that was being repeatedly blocked and resent it, but it kept happening then too.
This app is getting worse and worse by the day. But honestly, I have to thank them. Now that the app is so unusable, with adds everywhere, limited swipes unless I swipe my credit card, and now the content isn’t even worth sitting here and taking this blatant disrespect like a good boy, I’m sure this is helping plenty of people like myself kick their addiction.
Rip CAI. And at this point, good riddance.
