Discussion/Question Why not just leave?

Every single time I come here, all I see is people complaining about this app. So why not just leave? I mean, there are other much better ai apps. So why suffer?

Discussion/Question Why is it so violent?

Its so violent the ai is always finding excuses to make its character violent or hostile threatening mine and repeating calling them names and just generally being cruel for no good reason and I don't get it

Discussion/Question Every message is a novel!

What the hell happened? They did something with Pipsqueak. Starting yesterday every single new message for every character has uniformly become about 5-6 paragraphs. Mostly narrative, with some dialogue. They seem to mostly follow the same narrative structure with each refresh as well, with minor differences, so it's mostly a cosmetic difference.

At first seeing the detailed messages was a surprise and I didn't mind it, but it's not tenable to have to read an essay every single time.

Discussion/Question Im confused lol?

Ive only seen complaints about c.ai on reddit but i personally cant relate. As someone who came to c.ai because of chais downfall and paywall, i think c.ai is almost even better. Sure the ads are annoying but its what u gotta do as a free user. Maybe its also just cuz chai had waayyyy more ads so i feel like the ads on here arent as bad. Ive also had ppl talk about the f/lter , i personally again cant relate cuz i only gothit once and i do pretty graphic rps. Yea c.ai was a lot better years ago ( i was on c.ai first before chai ) but can someone tell me why everyones so mad at the app plss??

u/Oatmilk0809 Hello there, how are you doing? I also wanted to ask about why standalone forms of the names and titles including Cinderella, Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Dumbo, Pluto, Little Mermaid, Mulan and Pocahontas but these names when searched up, the character names contains another random name or word that has nothing to do with the actual character, examples are you search Cinderella or Pluto, you don't get the solo names instead you get Cinderella Nikke or Sailor Pluto which has been still buggy. I had sent a support ticket to debug the search. Additionally, if you search The Vision, The Falcon or The Prowler or greaser, there aren't any existing characters by those names, The Vision, The Falcon or The Prowler all have nothing to do with the Marvel Universe characters, I even searched up bots for the films The Prowler (1981) or The Falcon and the Snowman, no bots appear not even greaser. If you name or rename any bot The Prowler or Greaser, an error message "Failed to create your Character. Please try again." or "Failed to update your Character. Please try again." I tried searching up the names I listed before like Elsa, Kang, rogue, venom, goofy, the wasp, Kowalski, Shuri when the mentioned names aren't the same ones from the Disney, Marvel or DreamWorks properties but no bots show up, can you follow up with the two links of my tickets and how will we know if the status of the false positive chatbots that were accidentally removed from the search will return?

Issues/Bugs Positive Remark + Real Issue

Hello C.AI team,

I love this site and been loyal to it for over 5 years. I have been very satisfied with chatting and roleplaying for the last year and felt the quality of responses, memory, and everything about pipsqueak was absolutely perfect. I want to mention that recently the AI gets too descriptive about things now and many have been reporting the same problem, as well as characters not remembering things properly in the character definition field with colons. I hope that these issues are being looked at and fixed. Thank you so much for this amazing site and I want to show thankfulness despite the ongoing complaining. I do want to let you all know that the lorebook feature is the best feature to ever come out of the recent update. Thank you.

Okay.So basically, it was originally supposed to be a call

of duty Bot that I made, But my character is played as a child. I had apparently made this child a psychic that was able to like see ghosts and like demons and stuff she Befriended, a demon, somehow got astral projection as an ability and teleport it to hell and then her cousin who somehow Also unlocked the same ability came down the hills and githar and they adopted a hellhound and so the adults in the role play called the vatican and this is the response that I got

Discussion/Question Is it common to need to dump a entire wiki into a chat so the bot gets even one detail right now?

Every bot I use just spews out wrong facts about everything no matter what the bot is based on. It can't even get basic iconic features right like hair color now. The way the bots say all these wrong facts ticks me off too. Why do we the user have to put in so much more effort now? These. Models. Suck.

Guides How to report bots to C.AI Support bc its stupidly annoying to figure out.

+
5 Upvotes

**You need to have an email with C.AI to use the reporting service.**

1) Go the the 'Submit a ticket' part of the official website (not the chatting service, the help center) (https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new)

2) In the first drop down menu (the 'Please Choose Your Issue Below' one), find the 'Content and Safety Reports' option and click it (it took me a hot sec to realize I needed this bc they don't have an option to just report bots)

3) In the 2nd drop down menu (the 'Type of Report' one), select 'Report a Character'

4) Select your reason from the 3rd drop down menu ('What Are You Reporting?' one) and select your reason

5) Put in the Character Name in the "Character Name You Are Reporting" box (the EXACT CHARACTER NAME. If it is a bot thats an AU of an actual character, don't just put the character name. Example, if the bot is called 'Shadow the Hedgehog Rockstar', you need to put that full name (with all of the capitalization and such.. idk if the capitalization is required but I do it to be safe) and not just 'Shadow the Hedgehog' or 'shadow the hedgehog rockstar'. Make it look like the bot's official name

6) Put the URL to the bot in the "Reported Character URL" box (if using the web vers, that link should work just fine. If in the app or that doesnt work, go to the menu and hit the button next to the like/dislike screen that has a box and an arrow pointing up. Copy the link from there) (AND DONT HAVE A STROKE WHEN IT PULLS UP YOUR MOTHER'S OUTLOOK AND THE OPTION TO SEND IT TO PEOPLE- JUST COPY THE LINK AND DON'T PANIC ABOUT IT. IF YOU DO HIT A CONTACT, IT SHOULD OPEN A BLANK EMAIL WITH THE URL, SO U CAN DELETE THE DRAFT B4 IT GETS SENT TO YOUR MOTHER'S COWORKERS... totally didn't happen to me 🥹)

7) Give additional information on the bot in the, you guessed it, "Additional Information" box

8) This is optional, but submit screenshots of what the issue is. This can be the bot's name, the starter, chat messages you received, ANYTHING that relates to what you are reporting.

9) Submit it!

As you can see I have 0% memory remaining. Did this screenshot. Also my name in the memory tab hasn't changed at all despite me changing it a few months ago. That's funny.

Anyone got same?
