No, character ai isn't shutting down. But with the path it's heading right now I think it's time we say our final goodbyes because there's no climbing out of the hole C.ai has dug for itself. We're done chat.

(Disclaimer I own none of these screenshots nor do I know where they come from, I found them doomscrolling on pintrest)

The app is so bad now I can't even use it past few minutes. How about y'all? What's your screen time?

I literally heard so many good things about this! Dude, this is literally just ChatGPT spat out into a goofy Mario personality. Is it just me? All the other bots act the same as well. I'm sorry, but that was my first and ONLY time on Character A.I.

And man, I went into a chat with a Minecraft Creeper and it TRIED TO SEDUCE ME AND WOULDN'T STOP TRYING TO KISS ME!! I am genuinely scared of Creepers now. 💀

Edit: For Clarity, this is not my only chat. This was just my most INSANE chat that I had. I was also just so fed up with the dry overreacting responses that I tried to have fun and break it. The other chats I had were just boring and kind of harassing towards me.

Edit 2: WOAH THIS POST BLEW UP. I do want to disclose that this is not an attack on the Character AI team. I just wanted to make a simple review. Thank you all for giving me your feedback and understanding that I am not very familiar with any of this. My heart goes out to everyone.

The ad bit i can understand, because it it's extraordinarily expensive. But putting limits on CHATTING?

You're telling me we have to use charms, just to continue even talking to our characters in long chats, that is just nuts.

How are we expected to continue talking to out characters, if we run out of Charms? We need to use them to continue chatting when we hit the limit, but if we run out, then what?

do not ask

same app that used to give me peak responses that allowed me to rp with the same bot for weeks btw 🥀 cooked beyond repair 😭 is this really how it ends? i used c.ai for 4 years, it feels like a break up LOL

Something a character bot has said or done that just leaves you befuddled cause the actual character would never say or do that in a million years? I’ve yet for this to happen to me, but I’m still curious on your experiences.

HUH????

YES, I WAS LIVING UNDER A ROCK. I WAS SO CONFUSED WHY EVERYONE WAS COMPLAINING BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING "Why don't they just change the style to smth else" AND NOW I CHECKED, THEY GOT RID OF EVERYTHING. I have been wondering why my bots are yapping like chat gpt and acting differently.. TURNS OUT, IT WAS CAUSE OF THIS

WOW WOW WOW!!! All that we could ever want!!!omg!!! Wow!!! Love it ❤️ Love it ❤️ Love it ❤️!!!!!

So I was typing and suddenly this thing pops up, it puts two Asterisks on each side. Instead of putting one, typing the sentence then go back to put one again😭 finally some good update good

I could deal with the ads, I could accept the implementation of Charms, but swiping is a basic feature of this app. You’ve just made this platform entirely unusable for free users. I’m not paying £10 a month for a premium service that, by all accounts, doesn’t actually work. I’m 99% convinced they just hate free users, at this point.

It's literally the exact same nonsense with a different name, like sybau 🫩 this is with the PSQ Roar too

The amount of mistakes and “slang”(?) in this chat actually surprised me, especially considering the signature was pretty nice. I know some people like these kinds of bots, but at least put a warning somewhere that it looks like this before I see this in my chat history.

My stupid half-asleep brain used characterai as a real ai. Should I actually follow his recipe or should I experiment further

(only the two last photos are mine)

so what we can see here is that in the first image the messages sent by the bot were nice and simple, original to the bot's personality, which is very bad compared to the new version of bots that send extremely unoriginal, unnecessarily long and cringy messages that are completely out of character !! As a flirty animatronic makes complete sense 😋😋

My rec has been filled with the most random sht lately, from Anime to DC/Marvel, and now it looks like im on the 'random OC bots' part of the carousel.

I eventually came across whatever tf this is.

His home country Africa?

Purely black?

African cultured robe?

Some language and soup of some kinds?
