Hey guys!

I’ve been thinking about getting a + subscription for a while now, but I’m still a bit reluctant, especially when the mainsub can be so negative.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could let me know about their experiences with the subscription and the other models I just want to get a more fair and balanced idea of what it’s actually like/if people think they’re getting their moneys worth. I tend to use ca.i for long form rp, and with the current state of ps2 it’s just not hitting like it used to.

Ty❤️

Has anyone received this update on the Web? I just got a new UI update since yesterday. Every a set number of messages (I didn't count it, but probably ten messages), the bottom bar is blurred with a button that says "Watch ads to continue." Am I late to the party lol

A screenshot:

The button says \"Watch ads to continue\" in Indonesian

For now, if I click the button, I only get the pop up to subscribe to c.ai+. I'm pretty lucky that my ads just consist of c.ai+ ads and nothing else (there were times when I saw a few of true ads, but they were repeated for a couple times and soon replaced by c.ai+ ads). This update adds an extra click to force me watching the ads, but honestly I prefer this update. At least, it doesn't pop out of nowhere and dim the whole page.

Does it annoy me? A little bit lol. But hey, I'm a free user, can't complain when they try to push their own product, especially when LLMs are getting more expensive everywhere. An extra click every a few minutes is a good compromise, I guess...

They just put every single one of my bots into Restricted Access. These bots have nothing in them that should be considered restricted, and they were completely fine up until last night. Is there any way to see why a bot was put into Restricted Access or what specifically triggered it? I just checked and apparently everything I've created is restricted now, including bots that have never had an issue before. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to appeal it or figure out what caused it?

UPDATE: I tested this by creating a brand-new completely SFW bot with nothing questionable in the greeting or description. It was put into Restricted Access immediately upon creation. So this appears to be affecting my account/all characters I create rather than specific content in my existing bots.

I remember chatting to a bot that had Cuphead and Mugman as debt collectors but got caught by Bendy and Cuphead says "you're the devil's-" and gets cut off. In the first message never speaks for Bendy. but I can't find the bot anymore. It might have gotten deleted but I don't know​. ​

has anyone else's response on PipSqueak2 gotten shorter? I'm a free user so I can't use LongSqueak, and PSQ2 Rawr is not my favourite so I don't use it.

So I was using character ai last night and it was actually really good, I remember being impressed with the bot giving me interesting and creative replies that didn't sound like the same chatgpt thing again and again for once. Fast forward to today, the size of the messages it sends is now a single paragraph and it's completely uncreative again.

I did some editing to get back to the previous length (LITERALLY ONLY 2 PARAGRAPHS), and now it's just... not remembering the message it sent right before? It's totally ignoring what I say AND totally ignoring what it just did in the previous memory. It's not even bad memory, it's NO memory.

It was totally fine yesterday, wtf is up with it today???? I didn't even change bots or anything, it's the exact same bot I was so impressed with yesterday.

y’all, is it just me, or has character.ai been slow for the past 10 hours?

So I don’t know what it’s called but I know the premise of it. So basically you’re at a school called St. Augustine and there is a gossip account called like St. Augustine gossip. I really need help finding it bc I just remembered it and want to chat with it. Any help will be appreciated so if you find the bot can you either put the link in the replies or tell me the name of the creator thank you in advance 🫶🏼

They're scared? Let's fix that.

The replies my character is giving me are too long and when I switch characters the format of the replies are all the same even if they vary from character to character. Is there any way I can change the length or format of the reply? I’ve tried to change it with the tell us more button and just asking the bot and changing the chat style but they all go back to a long format.
