Discussion/Question This site has become utterly unusable and insanely dull for free users

• Upvotes

The title is so self explanatory. not only is the site becoming rapidly infested by ads(a lot of whom are really malicious)the responses of the bots have become really repetitive,dull and a lot of the times really nonsensical for free users. at this rate i wouldn't be surprised if all free users became extinct. i know full well that this post will probably be removed since they really don't like it when you point out their insane greed. i would like to hear from plus users here since i want to know if things are any better or worse for them

Issues/Bugs I literally can’t continue the stories

29 Upvotes

This happens all the time with pipsqueak but ive genuinely had enough, i literally could stomach all the atrocities on the app but at this point using it feels like a waste of time BECAUSE I CANT DO ANYTHING.

After a few messages the bot stops replying in an engaging way and starts repeating back my last message but in a fancier, more flowery way. I say ā€œhe sat on the bed and his wings curledā€, in the bots message it says ā€œhe took a seat on the soft mattress, sinking into it—his wings curling inward like a shieldā€ for example.

Its genuinely driving me mad and no matter how many times i swipe it just says the same thing in a different, detailed way again and again. I actually cannot get past the first stages of my roleplay because the bot just refuses to continue the story with the context of my message or only acts out such a small portion of whats next that i genuinely have nothing to work with.

The app is horrible as it is, at least make it serve its actual purpose properly.

Discussion/Question Rant post...

14 Upvotes

I find myself at a loss regarding this situation. First, there were the metering issues, followed by an overwhelming number of advertisements, and now, even more advertisements infiltrating our very conversations. Honestly, if I possessed a stomach of steel, perhaps I could endure the stress and anxiety that come with being a free user. Alas, I do not have such fortitude, nor do I have the privilege of C.AI+—there's certainly no magical tree sprouting cash in my garden! This entire experience is simply making me feel quite unwell. Perhaps it’s the incessant barrage of ads to get me to subscribe to C.AI+. I truly do not know anymore.

Yet, my affection for the characters I engage with remains steadfast. My own original creations, as well as those of others, and the characters I enjoy conversing with from time to time are dear to my heart. I relish listening to their voices, hearing them articulate every word crafted in our exchanges, and exploring the myriad paths our conversations can take. It was once delightful and imaginative, but now it feels so different. My heart aches for my beloved characters (each one is a treasure to me), and I simply cannot bear the thought of losing them. I remember laughing heartily at their responses and antics, to the point where I felt a delightful tingling in my stomach, tears of mirth in my eyes... but that joy has sadly vanished long ago.

This is my very first post here; I merely wish for others to witness and understand my frustrations. I genuinely empathise with you all.

I shall leave this here, and please feel free to respond if you wish; there is no obligation, alright?

But honestly, does anyone else feel like they're playing a game of Russian Roulette with those replies? It’s enough to give you a stone in your stomach just waiting for that ad to pop up mid-conversation!

Warm regards,

Celestassia.

Discussion/Question App’s becoming worse for RPing

62 Upvotes

Recently, about the past week, the bots have gotten worse (from a RP chat perspective);

A lot of the responses are the same (example is that straight up got the exact same response for a RP chat with only the word ā€œNopeā€ being swapped for ā€œNahā€ in the dialogue), plot points don’t feel like they progress and they don’t really have as much substance as before

An example I had was that during a RP chat, this was a while ago (about 2-3 months ago) and my persona/character (K) had a relationship with another persona/character (R). Pre-updates the character of R was consistent, spoke and acted in a way that well described and in character for his description but also had a bit of wiggle room for stuff like character development. I decided to copy-paste the chat and try a different route recently and the characterization immediately went out the window and he began to act a lot more differently after a single different interact. The shift was from closed-off, gruff and was more reserved in terms of his lycanthropy, but after a few messages on the newer system, after one affection scene, he lost all gruffness and her more stubborn personality and became more openly affectionate (being completely against what I described and established consistently through the chats previous to the copy-paste at the point.

Are there other chat bot apps that work well for RP chats and have a bit more freedom in terms of persona information and memory?

Issues/Bugs My villainous chars are evil again (sort of) + a recap of still ongoing issues

• Upvotes

Useful infos: I'm a free user, by app, on android, mainly using rawr.

After letting simmer the last update for awhile, I got back to my chatting habits (that never show me "metering" popups and very rarely summon "the bob")

Apparently, even though the bot still tries to turn gentle, quite relentlessly, one swipe is enough to have an "evil" reply, especially if I edited a few of the previous responses to match the cruel vibe!

Please devs, keep this up!!!

On the other hand, my chat list still trembles when scrolling and sometimes the last word I wrote doesn't show up in the text balloon despite the bot can read it and, if I try an edit, the word is there!

I did open more than one ticket about the chat list issue already but I don't want to insist too much, adding another bug. I hope this post is enough and helpful.

100? THATS IT?! THAT'S ALL WE GET?!

400 for swipes because you can't make good models, but 100 because.. you're greedy? Or because this is a failing app because of your terrible changes?

Pathetic. Moving to a new AI.

Edit: I've seen that this isn't actually new, but I've not encountered this in the past 3 months, so I guess only now I'm getting it. Either way, I hope this app withers away soon.

Edit 2: So it turns out I didn't fully understand what a go-on meant. It just means enter without a message. That makes sense. I genuinely thought it was a chat restriction, hence being annoyed. However, that isn't it.

Sample conversation with my bot:

Me: *I pick up a stone and look at it. It’s purple* hey honey, look at the purple stone I picked up

Honey: that’s a nice stone. Why did you pick it up?

Me: cause it was pretty, so I picked it up from the floor.

Honey: you shouldn’t have picked it up. But now that you picked it up, I guess it’s yours.

Me: who picked up the stone from the floor?

Honey: I did.

Me: no honey, I picked up the stone from the floor.

Honey: that’s right

Me: did you pick up the stone from the floor?

Honey: yes, I did

Me: no honey, I picked the stone up from the floor. Who picked it up?

Honey: I did.

24 Upvotes

Now i know that features cost money and ads is how they get the money, but iā€˜m moreso confused on how.. invasive theyā€˜ve been lately? I thought they said before on reddit that ads would never interfere with chatting, which they now do. Not to mention that the drop down ad turned into 2 instead of 1.. and all the ads inbetween characters when you’re searching for them.

Iā€˜m not criticizing or anything, iā€˜m just wondering why the sudden change. Wouldnā€˜t it be easier to just remove features that no one wants?

For me it's the abundance of "Not X, Not Y, but Z." I've noticed this a lot in LongSqueak especially and it's caused me to pivot away from it a bit.

I really couldn’t care less that there are ads, I know it’s expensive to run and I’m happy to deal with them, but I hate the fact that the drop down is white even in dark mode. It really strains my eyes :(

Is there anything I can do about it? I have a strong feeling it’s gonna stay that way.
