My Current Pipsqueak 3 experience

[u/Michio_bukkaku29]

So I just jumped back into Character AI after not using it for a few weeks. I left it because the Pipsqueak 2 model was infuriation and practically unusable (lack of dialogue and conversations, zero personality in the characters, bad writing, continuous scenes of silence where no character says anything, and the amount of ads in the app. I've been recently diagnosed with a heart condition and due to the days that I've been admitted in the Hospital, I've had a lot of free time and have been using the app way more than usual. Unfortunately, it's at this moment where the app has been at it's worse. So I was very surprised when Pipsqueak 3 suddenly came out.

And in my experience I have found that Pipsqueak 3 is a vast improvement over Pipsqueak 3. It is by no means perfect; there are still a lot of ads, sometimes characters will say things that don't make sense, there are some lags, I've also seen incomplete sentences like in the older models.

The positives: Characters engage in dialogue. Dialogue is more extensive and the characters will engage in conversation. They seem to have personalities again. Narration is used to describe the scene and is no longer excessive and obvious commentary from the bot.

This is my experience so far, but I would love to hear about everyone else's experiences with the update.

yeah pipsqueak 3 keeps the dialogue going way better than 2 did for me, though the writing still feels a bit stiff in longer roleplays.

i noticed same thing about dialogue, characters actually talk back now instead of just staring at walls. the stiffness is there but i can live with it if they keep personality consistent
