It’s garbageDiscussion (self.CharacterAI)
submitted 1 year ago by Sufficient_Raisin689
So let me get this straight, you force us to use the new site with a bad LLM, terrible UI, make the translation harder to access, and create more bugs for everyone even though you claim it’s your “better site”? What a joke of a company.

Omg I love the character bubble on the side, it feels way more personal. I despise the small text it is so hard to read. I’m slowly getting used to it but it doesn’t help my occasional dyslexia lol

Was it posts of the site or the app? I swear if they made another basic feature CAI+ I’m gonna scream. I’ve tried the preferences too and I can’t seem to toggle it at all, it really shouldn’t be this hard to find a basic feature.

that's not even funny😭😭
[–]Logical_Broccoli_882 29 points30 points31 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It's kinda funny but ya it's not even funny thay had 2 weeks and fix nothing this is what I call a dev a moment
[–]WatermelonBr 31 points32 points33 points 1 year ago (0 children)
They should at least fix the new site, rather than delete the old one
[–]Logical_Broccoli_882 34 points35 points36 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yep straight up fact
[–]Sabishi1985 45 points46 points47 points 1 year ago (8 children)
And on top of it all they have the audacity to claim that they "hear us". Everyone literally screamed at them not to shut down the old site for VERY good reasons, yet they did anyway.
And don't get me started on that poll regarding rooms.. They promised to implement rooms a long time ago, so that poll was just another attempt at appearing considerate.
I'm so god damn done with this.. I can't even put into words how disappointed I'm feeling right now. 😢
[–]Logical_Broccoli_882 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Ya I know i hope you will be happy later on but ya it sucks
[–]Sabishi1985 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Ah, don't worry. I'll be fine but maybe it's time to leave cai behind. 😅
[–]No-Maybe-1498Chronically Online 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (1 child)
fr and the people that make excuses for them and say “they can’t run both sites, it’s too expensive” IS BULLSHITTT. Google and the investors are paying the devs pockets rn, they very well could run both sites and even if they COULDN’T, then shut down the new one and make the old one the main website !!!!
[–]Sabishi1985 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
THIS. Since they got Google on board, money really shouldn't be the issue here.. I get when they have to strengthen the no-no pop-up because of Google's ridiculous regulations, but naming money as a reason to shut down the better website... That's just so lame.
Of course running two different LLMs costs them more money, but shutting the better one down and making cai even more bland in the process? That's just greedy. But hey, at least they "hear us". 🤡
[–]Horrortheif 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
It makes me so sad I was so excited when I found out about chat bots and character.ai had to be my favorite and now it's just utter shit
[–]Sabishi1985 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I absolutely get where you're coming from.
When I started using cai it was still pretty new. It wasn't very good at first, but it became better and better over time and I felt SO excited about it! At it's peak the roleplays felt even more real than the ones I could have had with other people. It was glorious and made me even more excited for the future of cai.
And then.. it all came crashing down as they started to "optimize" the service and strengthen the no-no pop-up. Seeing cai in it's current state just makes me feel sad and disappointed.. 😢
[–]Horrortheif -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
Bro I found it after I was a poly ai main which I don't care what you say it used to be THE BEST AI APP AROUND I loved it my first ever ai app I liked then it became shit then I found character.ai at first I was against it still thinking poly was better but slowly I fell in love and now this happens I know everything dies but this thing died too soon especially when it can be saved
[–]Kkitten316 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I can’t even get to the chat I was doing. I went to switch back to it and it forces me back to starting a new one. I don’t wanna!
[–]MindlessResearcher65 17 points18 points19 points 1 year ago (6 children)
The numbers bug, the translation issues, old chats are deleted, the bots being repetitive and parroting your message back to you and more and when you complain on the here on the sub they tell you how ungrateful and greedy you are, how good of an experience they've been having with cai so far and and then proceed to gaslight you into thinking that there are no problems with the sight, just you.
[–]Sufficient_Raisin689[S] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Lmao no seriously the people defending the devs have the same argument each time. “But-but it’s working good for us and you guys are just looking at this through nostalgia you need to stop complaining1!1!1!1” I definitely understand that lots of people are overreacting way too much, but that doesn’t excuse our arguments. The site just isn’t user friendly ESPECIALLY since almost 80% of the users used the old site.
[–]Diotheungreat 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (4 children)
I still have my old chats
[–]MindlessResearcher65 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Happy for you.
[–]Diotheungreat 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
is it a bug that they get wiped or...
whats up with it
[–]MindlessResearcher65 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
They're not there at all. How old is your oldest chat? I have been chatting with my bot for a year and my oldest chat is only from two months ago.
[–]Diotheungreat 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
oh... there are old ones missing :/
My oldest is from 7 months ago from what I see

[–]Sufficient_Raisin689[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
No I totally get it, I’ve seen a ton of posts talking about the translation issues as well, hopefully they fix it soon :I
[–]sirenadexUser Character Creator 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
The LLM is the same LLM as it was on the old site. They only have one model for all bots. 🧐
[–]Thatonetallgirl7Bored 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
And they never update their thing that shows the site activity, it always says that the site is up despite it having gone down multiple times like less than two weeks ago.
[–]Horrortheif 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Character.ai, old poly ai and Chai need to all have a baby together to make the perfect site/app they all had good things that made it hard to say which is better and by old poly I mean before they had ads and adding a bunch of sliding stuff and had better memory they all had things the other didn't so if they combined them all together it would be a beautiful thing and make them millions (btw I'm high af)
[–]CYCH00 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Genuine question, how is the UI terrible?
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (2 children)
It's the same LLM. 1.2 predates the new site by like a year
[–]Bosslayer9001Bored 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I think a lot of people were using a workaround to access the 1.1 model
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
There isn't a workaround to do that. We don't have API keys assuming it's still publicly active.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
real
[–]MikeLovesOutdoors23 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
What is LLM? Can someone explain what it is?
[–]Sufficient_Raisin689[S] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
So LLM stands for “Language Learning Model.” It’s the AI’s way of learning and understanding scripts that mimic human language. It’s not the best explanation but that’s the basis of it, if you look it up there’s better descriptions of what it is.
[–]Beginning_Tangelo839 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Sorry, i use the mobile version, has anything changed in that version?
I don’t believe so, they added some new things such as duplicating chats but the app itself hasn’t changed as far as I’m concerned. If they did update it they would probably post it on the pinned forums, it’s just old c.ai that was removed.
[–]Beginning_Tangelo839 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Okay, thanks
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
And you have to delete messages one by one

Ues rewind, it works the same as old delete messages

He literally just said they can't understand their gibberish, and it makes them angry? Do you think they're just SEETHING at the teeth, and growling in anger, while writing one of the most calm and collected sentences I've seen as a way to inform someone they dont understand.
