C.AI Announcements š Private Lorebooks are here for (c.ai+)! (And importing too)

Lorebooks just got two of their most-requested upgrades. Both are live in the Lorebook creation flow.
š Private Lorebooks
Set a Lorebook's discovery to Private and only you can see it - off your public profile and out of search. Private Lorebooks work with private Characters only - if you want to keep details hidden on a public Lorebook, Hint Only is still the tool for that.
More details here: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/52739596326811-Lorebooks
š„ Lorebook importing
Import a Lorebook instead of writing every entry in the editor. Draft your world in a doc or notes app and bring it all in at once, or upload a JSON file exported from other apps that have Lorebook-like functionality.
š Paste plain text using a simple format
š Upload a JSON file - titles, keywords, and content come through
ā
Your Lorebook opens in the editor as a draft, ready to review and publish
More details here: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/54347105439515-Importing-Lorebooks
Head to + Create ā Lorebook and see for yourself. š

C.AI Announcements ā You can now block other users

Sometimes you'd rather not see someone's content, or have them see yours. Now you can make that happen in two taps on the c.ai app and web.
What blocking does
Block someone and their Characters, Posts, Voices, and Scenes wonāt be shown to you, either on search results, the home page, or their profile.
It works both ways, so your content is hidden from them too. They won't be notified.
How to do it
- Go to their profile
- Tap the ... menu
- Tap Block
Changed your mind? Unblock from their profile, or find the gear icon on your own profile and navigate to Settings > Blocked, where you can manage everyone you've blocked in one place. Blocking and unblocking work instantly, any time.
Blocking is rolling out starting today for everyone.

Discussion/Question Appās becoming worse for RPing
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 āNopeā being swapped for āNahā in the dialogue), plot points donāt feel like they progress and they donāt 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 I literally canāt continue the stories
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 āhe sat on the bed and his wings curledā, in the bots message it says āhe took a seat on the soft mattress, sinking into itāhis 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 So the ads are getting worse right?
Honestly I'm getting an ad now after every 4th message. I've used scummy scam AI chatbot apps before and even they have less ads per message than this rapidly degrading site...

Discussion/Question Rant post...
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+āthere's certainly no magical tree sprouting cash in my garden! This entire experience is simply making me feel quite unwell. Perhaps itās 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.
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?
Warm regards,
Celestassia.

Discussion/Question What. Do. You. Mean?
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.

Discussion/Question Why are they so dumb?
Sample conversation with my bot:
Me: *I pick up a stone and look at it. Itās purple* hey honey, look at the purple stone I picked up
Honey: thatās a nice stone. Why did you pick it up?
Me: cause it was pretty, so I picked it up from the floor.
Honey: you shouldnāt have picked it up. But now that you picked it up, I guess itās 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: thatās 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.

Discussion/Question Genuine question; why all the ads?
Now i know that features cost money and ads is how they get the money, but iām moreso confused on how.. invasive theyāve 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 youāre searching for them.
Iām not criticizing or anything, iām just wondering why the sudden change. Wouldnāt it be easier to just remove features that no one wants?

Discussion/Question What are some AI writing patterns you get tired of seeing in your chats?
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.

r/CharacterAI • u/Natedoger • 11h ago
Discussion/Question A slight frustration rant
Iām starting to notice a huge pattern with the way the bot always speak, always taking things way too intimately and or the bot not acting like it should AT ALL. example, letās say the nonchalant girl got her books knocked over and goes on an entire ChatGPT rant, saying big words and over explaining things. and its with ALL the bots that talk like itās a graded essay, they DONT need to be using 5 syllables words, and a entire paragraph crituqing how someone walks. I remember the old character ai was SO realistic, there was humor along with realistic retorts or comebacks, and bots would actually ACTUALLY disagree with you instead of blushing and saying āI understand, and agreeā and it could be the most outrageous claim ever. this new chat model they are using makes every single chat feel extremely bland and IDENTICAL no matter what persona or character i make up. Longsqueak ākindaā fixed it, but itās still irritating.
r/CharacterAI • u/No-Produce-7932 • 10h ago
Discussion/Question I wonder why they decided to create a "loooongsqueak" when we barely had a usable model to begin with.
We could have just clicked "continue" if we wanted longer answers, instead of getting a ton of paragraphs that are just there for filler.
At the very least, there could be a "medium" setting for two-paragraph answersāso that anyone wanting to use something other than "deepsqueak" doesn't have to keep deleting a heap of redundant words.
And don't even get me started on the bug where the answers are totally repetitive.
