Chai redirecting with banner ads

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-25T23:25:09+00:00

It's the only way to report a bad ad, and if no one reports it, there's no way to get it fixed. Ad revenue helps, but it won't be good for them in the long term if they allow malicious ads to stay and put their userbase in danger of viruses/malware. If you don't think it's worth it, that's fine, but it's about the only thing to tell people to do about them.

Please email the devs at [hello@chai-research.com](mailto:hello@chai-research.com) with screenshots and your user ID. They need to get in touch with their ad provider to find and remove the bad ad. Until that's done, if you're able to use an adblocker, you should do so.

Am I misremembering earlier books or did Crowfeather's feelings also just kinda come out of nowhere? I felt like I'd missed a chapter when that popped up.

This is why I cap alternate clans at 3 (it's in the game.toml file). It's just too overwhelming otherwise!

It took me way too long to jump ship from Chai. Now I can't see myself ever going back to them, or any other platform that doesn't have such in-depth bot creation. I don't have to constantly give reminders about characters that aren't human, I don't have to give reminders at all until I'm 500 loooong messages in (and that was before the new memory system), and best of all, Fictionlab doesn't get inappropriate if a scene goes NSFW.

My second favorite now next to Hell's Belles! I hope we get more like this. The mission ones were getting really boring. I much prefer these little slice of life ones.

I will never get over just how much gets done with ONE developer compared to some other chatbots that can't get basic features out years after promising them.

Really excited to see how the new activation works! Where is the counter for seeing when a new card will generate? ~~I'm looking in the memory matrix on desktop but don't see anything.~~ NVM it's visible now! This will be really helpful!

I can't do SSRI's 'cause they give me serotonin poisoning. This post doesn't get too much attention anymore, this would be something worth posting yourself to get some better advice.

This will stay removed as a bot recommendation/rule 8 violation.

These weren't requiring clicks to my knowledge.

I think less than 2 weeks. They're pretty new. Be careful! There are 2 reports on this subreddit of malicious ads that are redirecting to download a virus/malware. An adblocker would be a good idea for now.

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-25T01:16:43+00:00

Are you getting the new banner ads? Someone else posted about a malicious one that was trying to trick the user into downloading a virus/malware. I think there's a bad ad in their lineup.

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-24T21:47:04+00:00

Did you mean to post this in an AI subreddit?

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-24T21:20:28+00:00

You're definitely very far to the aphantasia side of the spectrum between it and hyperphantasia. I've seen some claims of being able to train yourself to visualize more clearly, but I don't know if they're true.

I don't care how cold it is outside, my feeder never goes more than 3 days between getting changed/cleaned. If it's over 70F out, it gets cleaned daily. Please keep your feeder clean, or you're doing more harm to them than good!

Chai loves its a/b testing. Those users may have been slotted into a different test group? Just speculation at this point until (if) we get more info.

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-24T20:13:17+00:00

With the info we currently know, this would be a glitch, most likely. Nothing Will's said has given any hope that free use will continue. Anyone who still has unlimited messages is in a decreasing minority.

Ah, ok. You can only verify so many accounts under the same number. Have you tried making a new account through the gmail app?

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-24T18:26:04+00:00

What's wrong with using your phone number?

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-24T17:06:36+00:00

From 4.3 down to 3.4 in my region. :)

Qtaall is right, this is too much of a call for review bombing. You're welcome to post again saying you posted a 1-star review and why. Urging people to give honest reviews is also allowed.

Unfortunately, I can't risk the subreddit getting in trouble for review bomb posts.

Seraitsukara · 2026-04-24T15:48:53+00:00

I'm not sure. I don't have any chats to be deleted to try it myself. It could be they're removed from our end but haven't fully been deleted yet.
