I decided to look at Character AI for old times' sake and saw a popup about their new “series” page or something they're launching. It seems they must realize c.ai isn't good on its own anymore the people who use Character AI don’t want to watch AI-generated shows on it. This isn't Netflix. Honestly, I think Character AI is starting to cause its own downfall. It’s crazy literally all they needed to do was make chatting feel nice and immersive. As a community, or ex-community, all we’ve ever asked for is the original c.ai back, not 30 billion features. It was good when it first came out, with maybe some minor issues. At this point, I don’t know what the team is thinking. Who on earth logs into c.ai and thinks, “Oh yeah, the app I downloaded to role-play with fictional characters, let me watch these random series on it”? I believe they’re trying to ride the wave of “vertical movies,” which has become a trend, but they’re forgetting what kind of app c.ai is. It’s literally for roleplaying with fictional characters that’s all we want. Sorry for the long rant but I do want to strike up a conversation on this.
