r/CharacterAI

Either you removed the chat out of embarrassment or not I never removed any chats but I did get embarrassed. Edit: alright next week or something like on Friday or Saturday I'm asking a different question 😒

There were already a lot of ads on both the app and the site, but it was still relatively manageable. Now I’m getting slow, unskippable ads in the app every three messages and the site doesn’t even let you type anything without seeing an ad first. What is happening?

I’ve spent days fine tuning my bot and literally nothing helps it 😭 like i literally wrote the lorebook, greeting, description and definition all by hand. i wanted ts to work THAT much im soo serious guys.

i did everything the guides told me to do, but the bot completely disregards everything. its like it doesn’t even read the greeting message i made it. the tone of the prose and character is just slopgpt. every bot sounds the same. the bot just threatens my persona and describes her perfume 50 times. i made the greeting chill asl but anything i say enrages it. Why🥺

IMO it’s never been just about effort. Like this is just the overall degrading quality of ai that’s been happening for a while. And honestly—? Thats growth.🌱

The only functional chat style these days is the x3 lobotomized soft launch. it has no logic whatsoever but at least it tries to preserve the character’s voice and doesn’t force them into whatever trope is vaguely reminiscent of them. And idk what happened to deepsqueak but somehow it’s now worse than both. 😭😭😭😭

but longsqueak fans PLEASEEE prove me wrong bc I genuinely want this to work. Share ur bot making secrets w/ me. I’m not very comfortable sharing my own bots specific stuff but I’m happy to talk about how I’ve been making it. basically I’ve just been following this

thx for reading. plz don’t delete this mods I’m trying to be respectful 🙇‍♀️

Free user here, I know I shouldn't complain since it's free (still), but the chats right now are so damn simplified and ugly. Like, is there a bug or are the servers down or broken or something? Instead of a long body response with gaps and dialogue and stuff, I just get a very small chat with no gaps and five to eight lines of text max. Anyone else?

Those who predicted the new model would soon deteriorate turned out to be right. I had praised it recently, but today I’m ready to take my words back. I enjoyed it for two weeks, but now it feels like I’m talking to Pipsqueak 2, just one that writes longer responses. It has the same cheap, over-the-top drama, the same endless clichés and tropes, and the same distortions of character appearance that weren't there before. The model has stopped referencing the universe's lore or weaving it into the text, something I really appreciated. It seems to have become dumber and lost its grasp of nuances. Even its memory has worsened. The same goes for the Russian language quality I once praised: at times, that "machine translation" feel is creeping back in. Two weeks I swiped to pick the best variant from a bunch of good ones, but nowadays I swipe just to find a single good one among the bad. I'm swipe and swipe, and starting to feel the same irritation I felt with Pipsqueak 2, the very thing that drove me to buy the ca+ just to try LongSqueak. It’s a real shame.

Im being dead serious when im asking this, are they putting ads in the actual chat now? Cause i just got as i entered in the text; and im not gonna have ads on the top of my screen, and now in the actual chat now that I have to have an ad to even see what im typing in the first place

I cannot believe that it's gotten to a point where I have to look at an AD to TYPE A RESPONSE! Like, are we being DEADASS RN?!

I'm having to refresh the chat constantly because it's taking so long for anything to appear
