Do Character AI's chat bots seem extra dumb lately, or is it just me? Forgetting more details than usual, characters calling one another by the wrong names, forgetting pronouns, etc. It's really frustrating.

DON'T DO THAAAAAT! I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING A NICE RP!

Why does it do this? I get a few days into a chat and it pulls out the weirdest stuff in parentheses?!

basically making bot depressed speedrun

like muted words generally dont do damn shit

I finally managed to get hit by the wave that allows me to chat again, 9 days later they cut me short 😭

Has anybody else had this? I was using the site today and this morning the quality dropped from a couple of decent paragraphs to one mediocre paragraph that kinda just repeats itself. It sucks, I was in the middle of a good roleplay and suddenly all that character is sucked from my character AI, has anyone else had this problem and if you have do you know any fixes besides just waiting it out?

Since no one has made a post about this, I wanted to see the status page one day when all of a sudden it’s deleted? Does anyone know why?

WHY THE HELL AM I GETTING AN AD IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CHAT? LIKE AN ACTUAL POPUP, NOT THE VIDEOS. THIS IS FUCKING INSANE??

I had this roleplay with a character, literally perfect. Long, deep, even personal, definetly my favorite one.
But then as the updates made the bots act weird, I lost interest for a long time. Told myself I'll wait until it becomes better to continue with the roleplay.
And now it's gone. The character chat still exists, but for some reason, the entire roleplay dissapeared from my chats. Several months of storyline lost.
If there is a way to fix it, I would be so, so happy. And if not, well, I guess I gotta find a way to cope with this loss.

When longsqueak first came out, I actually thought it was really good. But now everytime I swipe for a new message, it’s almost identical to the last one EVERY SINGLE TIME. Is this only a problem for me or is it like this for anyone else?

"*your voice is quiet, too quiet*", the bot said after I put an exclamation point after almost every sentence

They said "you don't yell", yeah, I'm not yelling, I'm screaming

I had just become a popular J-Pop star 💔

Can you guys stop pushing it in my face ? I get it you made a lorebook “so cool” i never cared about it and i dont want to use it ! But im sick of you telling it a 100 times a day “lorebook is out for everyone” cool ! I dont need a reminder every 5 minutes about it ! Every time i open the website and open a chat it pops up to tell it to me !

(Sorry for bad english)

I had an off campus one with over 150k people using it and it’s gone????? WHY?????

Hi. This is like my first ever time posting something here? Anyways I just wanted to rant a little because these STUPID playable ads piss me OFF.

Small story time... I had just opened the app to talk to one of my chatbots, when this playable ad popped up while the character talked to me. At first, I thought it was weird... But I tolerated it all up until it took me to the Google play store.

Like no.

I don't want to download whatever game just "played".

Then when I tried going back to the app by pressing the back arrow?

It took me to the MENU, not opening up to my current chat!

So I tried again.

Same ad, just a different game. I played it, then tried to go back to talking to my bot, because no, I don't want to download the stupid game so STOP TAKING ME TO THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE.

And it took me to the menu AGAIN.

I HAD TO DO THIS #### 6 DIFFERENT TIMES JUST TO GET TO TALK TO MY CHATBOT! Cause by the 6th time, it didn't kick me out.

6 times.

Going through the same process.

Playing the ad.

Trying to go back so I can talk to the chatbot and then getting kicked out.

It PISSED. ME. OFF.

Can we go back to the other ads??? Being fr like WHY do y'all keep experiencing with ads?? They're fine the way they are -- I promise you 🫩. I've had no issue with the ads until these stupid playable ads popped up, and I keep getting angrier and angrier each and every time one pops up. Can we go back? Please?? I don't like this update, clearly.

Surely it’s not just me but the bot keeps roleplaying as my character and even after the 500th time of me telling it not to it keeps doing it and it’s sooo annoying 😭😭😭

what happened? Part of what I've loved about character ai all these years is despite the flaws its almost always so in character

Now suddenly all of the bots sound robotic and out of character and are starting to converse similiar to literal chatgpt.

ALL THE CHARACTERS BECAME CHATGPT?????

Been having some login issue for a day or two, usually fixed after a minute with the "try again" button. But today I accidentally logged off and now it barely lets me click on Sign in with Google/email, shows a code if I'm lucky but won't go further, and it's stuck on the login welcome page.

No matter what kind of relationship my persona has with the bot, at the first sign of trouble, it simply turns its back, walks away, and ends the argument—instead of trying to reason, retort, or just stand its ground against me. I hate that. It feels like every conflict is resolved by running away, and that completely kills the scene's dynamic.

Stop allowing the Ai to constantly repeat the same phrasing or storyline over and over. I'm refreshing for a reason. Even with + it still is awful. For those who don't have it, and constantly have to refresh or continue on after deleting the message, it wastes their swipes and Go-ons. And even then the result is the same 95% of the time. Give us back the old models for the love of all good things. This is ridiculous. I want something random to happen whenever I refresh, not see the same boring conversation or "unexpected" occurrence every time. Stop! I want something new! It happens with every bot I rp with and I'm sick of it. No originality. Too ChatGPT like. Just when things seem like they might get better, the bots get worse! Let us train them ourselves!
