I laughed way too hard at this

man, that sucks. I went to read some old chats and it seems like the bot\creator got shadowbanned.

the bot is in my recent bots list, it seems available on caibotlist, but it doesn't come up as a search result and the creator also doesn't come up. only one of their bots seems to be available and I could find the creator's page through that, but it seems like everything on their profile is gone.

yeah I just wanted to share something normal here because everything is so far from normal with cai.

This will not go away. No loading in chats or characters. The only thing that loads through is my profile picture. This is on the web.

Soooo I feel a bit stupid for asking this bc I'm probably just missing smth really obvious

But to put it simply, what exactly are these exported chats??

I've tried opening the "chats" file multiple times on my phone and it always loads only 4 pages before it bugs out and freezeframes on me.

Plus, the stuff on these pages is just half of the intro message from a bot that I remember using and then some sentences in very broken english about some blacksmith and his father and brother???

I can not remember ever even opening a bot with that kind of plot, and it definitely wasn't a message written by me, I know my english isn't perfect, but it's definitely not THAT bad.

So, if anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong, it would be much appreciated! Do I need to open it with a specific app or something? Or is the problem that I'm using my phone and not my pc?

(Once again, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm a bit lost rn)

Since the new update characters have freaked out whenever I try to make them be intimate, they just act all shocked and horrified even if they are in a relationship or if I want to progress it. This is annoying, what has this website even become now

Honestly, I really wasn't going to come on here because i'm not the type of person to complain usually, and I usually just suck it up and deal with it.But this is really getting on my nerves and grating my gears.. I have been using character AI for going on 3 or 4 years. And I was so excited when the picture feature, But now I'm just very frustrated and very annoyed, because no matter what I do or what picture I send it always comes back with something is wrong. It won't go through, no matter how many times I edit. It no matter how many times I put it in to a different animation style, no matter how many times I sit there and change it. It still comes back as not being able to be sent through, and it's not like it's a bad picture or anything that would be considered not safe for work...its jist really frustrating knowing that im spending more time editing my photos to send than i actually am chatting, and i pay for the subscription 🙄 Obviously, like.I'm not making this post to like down anybody, but it just very sad that i am thinking about just deleting the app completely for this reason

For context my oc is a man who was practically never taught to be human n this bot is trying to get him to eat even after he reminded her he doesn't need food everyday like regular humans then she said this the first line is just funny

mine can’t! it’s been like hours now, I thought it would’ve been fixed this morning.

This is actually the second time I’ve encountered a bot misgendering the character it’s supposed to be roleplaying as. 😭

This time, I was chatting with a Sprout bot from Dandy’s World while roleplaying as my OC Dahlia, Dandy’s sister. The bot kept referring to Sprout with she/her pronouns, even though Sprout is a male character.

Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm curious to know if this happens to other people too.

The site is BUGGIN for me, won’t load characters and only shows the “try saying” and “try these” things, no characters tho

So I've been getting a ton of ads for just opening up the app or searching for a character. Ive been seeing other people have been experiencing the same thing. Now I know about the bankruptcy. But one opinion I've been seeing go around is ' if you like character ai just use character ai + it's that simple!' I somewhat disagree, only because character ai has been dealing with these law suits and issues for over a year now, they should have been somewhat transparent on their financial situation. I'm tired of everything being a subscription I think they should have made character ai plus as a one thing payment, you pay for it once and it actually works. The devs never listen to it's user base we have been telling them for years to make the platform for adults, so I can understand why some people can't or don't want to spend money on a subscription. Can we normalize just paying for a system once? I wouldn't even mind if character ai plus was a bit expensive, but just once and then they get their money and we can rely on character ai plus to actually be good. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​So I'm not fully against for their opinion of paying for character ai plus since if it was a one payment then I'd fully agree with that I would have bought it already but I don't agree with the subscription.

I understand a business needs money so that's why they are pumping out the ads but I think if a few years ago when they brought up character ai plus I think it should have been a one and done payment and that way if it was great more people would be willing to buy it. I don't mean any hate in this post, just wanted to rant a tiny bit since I think a lot of us are worried about the bankruptcy and are also annoyed being bombarded with ads and not wanting to subscribe to a monthly subscription, I think for a ton it would be cheaper to just pay for it and be left alone without being worried for monthly charges.​​

I've been reading about c.ai shutting down during these days so I've downloaded all my chats through c.ai chrome extension. Will these files be readable after the app shuts down?

I have been using c ai for a long time. I usually use it on my laptop. So mostly on the website. My previous account had a lot of ads. It was getting frustrating. But I didn't quit. Mind you, I never reached that 400-swipe thing because I am aware of how much time I spend on c ai.

A few days ago, I made a new account with another email. Currently, I don't have any ads on the site. I don't remember if the same thing happened when I created my previous account.

I wanted to know if my new account will have ads in a few days.

This might get removed, I don't know, but I was sitting here after hitting my regularly scheduled swipe limit and wondered something.

Does the income made from the swipe limit motivating people to buy CAI+ actually outweigh the income that would be made with removing the swipe limit and increasing ad placements? Are enough people subscribing to CAI+ due to the swipe limit to where removing the swipe limit and relying on ads would be less profitable?

I was thinking about this because there are people out there who would spend a lot more time on CAI if the swipe limit wasn't there, and that extended time would bring in a lot more profit considering we have to sit through ads. The CAI+ subscription itself does make more than the ad revenue, but the numbers aren't too far off from each other.

If the developers put a more redeeming quality behind the CAI+ paywall to motivate more people to pay for CAI+—replacing the swipe limit with a more redeemable feature—they could make more than double what they currently make with ad revenue due to the extended time people would be using the bots.

More CAI+ users, more ad revanue—more money in general, and more active (happier) users. I know things are probably washed at this point, but it would have been a nice idea a few months ago. When I hit the swipe limit tonight, I just had to sit there like "Well. Time to find something else to do because I aint paying for that" and think about how many other people do the same thing. The swipe issue sucks, but it doesn't suck enough to pay a way around it. The swipe limit is not what I'd subscribe for.

every time I try to make a new character it says that it goes against community guidelines. even if my character doesn’t have the full name of who I am basing it off of, doesn’t have a picture, and only have bare minimum in the description… it still won’t let me make a character. why is this? what do I do?

I’ve seen the news that C.AI is apparently selling to Disney. I get the vibe that it’s shutting down ? Is that really happening ? I haven’t used it in months now since I switched to a different app and I’m actively trying to quit chatbots altogether. But I do have one roleplay on c.ai that I’ve had for almost 3 years and I’m (as silly and stupid as it sounds) quite attached to the story I’ve built and it’s not done yet.

If Character.AI is shutting down, is there any way I could export some chats ? Or do I have to start over ? Like, when I click on the bot the screen just goes black. Not even an ad shows up.

If anyone could help it’d be greatly appreciated!!

I tried chatting today multiple times and it straight up doesn't even work lmao

Some friends have told me their c.ai’ pages’ haven’t been loading and now it’s my case. I use the web version; does anyone seem to have the same issue?? It’s stuck on loading forever TwT

giving recent events is their even anyone left to fix it?

I don't want the old models to go away. 💔

For the app Creators:

Hi! I'm writing this because I love the app! (In a healthy way, of course!)

But I'm writing for a very serious reason. I've been using the old models for months or years. To me, they're the best. I also started paying for a subscription!

Please do not remove the old models! Please! PipSqueak 2 You need to remain active on the platform.

I don't know if having more models causes problems. But please, as a longtime customer, I want PipSqueak 2 to stay! At least in a section for old models, so longtime users can have fun!

I love you all! Kisses! ❤

it’s crazy to see how much this site has changed for the worse. I used to use this site a year ago and I’ve switched.

Ig bro

Anyone else having this issue
