[stiff prawn]

I stopped using Netflix because I can’t watch it without my older sister having to confirm a email every 2 weeks 💀

[rose steppe]

Thank god squid games season 3 comes out before I move away

[rustic stirrup]

😭 oml does she make a new email to get free 30 day Netflix?

[quartz hearth]

Even the basic one (with ads in it) is around 8 euros

[steady birch]

You can get Netflix for free for 30 days?

[rustic stirrup]

Trial yes-

[steady birch]

Oh

[rancid oyster]

I figured this was coming, Summer and kids being off is gonna be a pain in the ass..

[lament bolt]

Oh

[formal ingot]

context?

[rustic stirrup]

I know some people make new emails every month before Netflix bans em

[rancid oyster]

The new announcement, I knew they were gonna start slowing the server for non c.ai+ users. You have to imagine kids and teens being off so they're gonna be GLUED to c.ai

[lament bolt]

Omg YES

[rancid oyster]

Means more potato server moments so devs don't want that

[rain parrot]

Were searching tags finally added to the website?

[lament bolt]

Like that one weekend where the potato crashed and all those kids started whining in chat

[rancid oyster]

Yep

[lament bolt]

Pretty annoying but I can't blame them, it's the school system in the North ig

[neon plume]

Since a long time actually

[quartz hearth]

That one time where it crashed a lot of times under 48 hours

[rain parrot]

Never saw them, perhaps it’s only for pc?

[heavy terrace]

That was fun

[formal ingot]

I can't describe the levels of pain that weekend gave me. Like I'm addicted to c.ai but I take LONG BREAKS. I really don't care when thr app is down I just do something else

[stiff prawn]

Nah 14 days technically since you only get 14 days to use it before having to do it again

[lament bolt]

EXACTLY 😭 weren't they supposed to be sleeping? Like it was 9AM for me, just let me relax and use c.ai

[heavy terrace]

I saw that emoji reacted, I know it was from you, Al

[neon plume]

On the website

[quartz hearth]

Addicts

[deft jetty]

Seeing this whole server constantly becoming a mess with a lot of people whining was pure chaos, lol

[formal ingot]

I hate when the app is down and everyone is spamming like oh my god just WAIT.

[rain parrot]

Oh isn’t that character creation?

[quartz hearth]

Tbh I was too tired to care about it but that was fun

[lament bolt]

Literally. Like I agree with saint bro. Like cmonnn..I may be addicted but that was NEXT LEVEL

[quartz hearth]

And the more people try to log in while it's down, the longer the maintenance will last

[lament bolt]

So frustrating

[rancid oyster]

Yep so get ready y'all for kids and teens during the summer ruining our c.ai server by slowing it down!

[heavy terrace]

Summer is holiday for American kids?

[rancid oyster]

Yippee! Hopefully I'll get a job by then lol

[neon plume]

Yeah, you can add them to your bots though I can’t seem to find if there’s a way to search with them, but it could just be me being a dumbass since i don’t use the site

[formal ingot]

I swear their screen times (on c.ai) are over 20 hours ✌🏾💔 (per day)

[quartz hearth]

It's already slow for me since a while, I don't mind it. Maybe it's also because I use cAI less these days

[neon plume]

Most of the western countries actually

[rancid oyster]

Oh yeah...

[lament bolt]

Yup. Almost all summer. Weird but yeah

[rain parrot]

Yeah exactly! Maybe you just have to manually type in the tags?

[formal ingot]

My summer starts July 4th

[neon plume]

Maybe, I can’t seem to find them in the app as well

[formal ingot]

[formal ingot]

wait I gotta ask how do you join a guild? (Your tag says "FBI" so I was wondering)

[neon plume]

You have to join a server which have one

[formal ingot]

Ohh okay I want one so bad 😭

[timber canopy]

@carmine lotus is c.ai adds for real? Why you all talking about adds a while ago

[lament bolt]

Yeah, but it's in testing rn

[carmine lotus]

I have no idea. I joined late and was eating, so I wasn’t reading properly and was writing random stuff, lol

[quartz hearth]

They said that the ads won't be disruptive. I guess that ads will appear only in the menu/home and that's it.

[lament bolt]

Yup

[timber canopy]

Wait.. is it gonna be permanent?

[hazy aurora]

hii

[valid locust]

Ads..

[lament bolt]

If it works, yes

[hazy aurora]

it's really getting ads?

[valid locust]

Apparently

[lament bolt]

Probably yeah

[hazy aurora]

maaan

[tidal nimbus]

Mayhaps. It's to increase the money for gratis members.

[quartz hearth]

If people complain about it enough, no. It happened before, not sure if it's gonna happen since it's gonna be the summer holidays soon

[timber canopy]

And where would it be exactly? Every single sec or something?

[valid locust]

Lmao

[formal ingot]

would you like to tell me the server that gave you "SWAT"?

(I just want one so bad)

[carmine lotus]

The swat server

[hazy aurora]

i was just about to quit today, but my account just don't want it lmao

[lament bolt]

Nah, according to Marie, they won't be too disruptive. Just in the main ui that's it.

[formal ingot]

what

[valid locust]

It dosen’t work for you ?

[carmine lotus]

The server I got the swat tag in is swat

[timber canopy]

Oh I see., atleast it's not always just in main UI. But how would it work like when I open the app it appears?

[thorn whale]

mom can i sleep with you? im scared of c.ai ads

[hazy aurora]

I'm on google. i have two account. i wanted to delete one last week but when i write my username and delete, it's brings me back to "home" i tried again today, still not,I'm so upset.

[lament bolt]

It PROBABLY wouldn't be full screen. Just a tiny c.ai+ ad and then you open a chat, and move on.

[valid locust]

Damn they really want you to stay

[hazy aurora]

nooo, I'm really upset maan:((

[quartz hearth]

That's what I was thinking

[timber canopy]

Oh I see, thanks!

[valid locust]

I understand this sucks

[hazy aurora]

I'm gonna try again now, wish me luck lmao

[lament bolt]

Yeah. Imma check tonight, since I'm one of the lucky ones who gets the beta features (good and bad)

[valid locust]

Good luck 🍀

[carmine lotus]

I won’t get ads because I pay for cai+. Haha.

[thorn whale]

you are easily the biggest cai+ enjoyer ive ever seen

[carmine lotus]

Indeed

[quartz hearth]

I have the stable version on my phone. Idk if I have beta features tho

[lament bolt]

Damn

[timber canopy]

Is it test for all users or some?

[mild marten]

You are just giving them more money 🥺

[hazy aurora]

well, it's the same

[lament bolt]

Not sure

[hazy aurora]

I'm gonna cry in anger i swear

[carmine lotus]

Conspiracy theory. What if they pay me?

[valid locust]

Rip

[timber canopy]

It is test but not going to be put in the app yet right?

[formal ingot]

wait

[hazy aurora]

I'm gonna delete the email I'm starting to think about it

[formal ingot]

IM BACK

[valid locust]

Maybe it could work

[thorn whale]

yeah they are still deciding how the ads will be if added

[rancid oyster]

Well as long as the ads and disruptions won't be too bad, means we won't have constant potato servers (I hope-)

[timber canopy]

Ohh alright is anyone even experiencing it right now?

[quartz hearth]

At least, they said that it won't show up in the chats. Maybe it'll be added on the home menu idk

[hazy aurora]

somewhere i can see that what apps do i have log in with the email?

[mild marten]

For what?

[carmine lotus]

I’m glad all of the random toxic people (except one) have left and only the usual people are here.

[carmine lotus]

Hm. Advocating?

[wraith tapir]

some, i think

[mild marten]

..I still don't understand

[valid locust]

Normally when you log off you can see it

Wait lemme check

[hazy aurora]

ty

[carmine lotus]

I was joking I’m sorry

[mild marten]

It's Oki

[valid locust]

Ok yeah I was right, you log off and you see other ways

[queen gorge]

It most likely will be

[simple kettle]

Is anyone else's C.AI not making responses?

[hazy aurora]

MAN MY COSPLAY TIKTOK IS WITH THAT EMAIL

[valid locust]

It’s the wrong email or not?

[hazy aurora]

the one, what i wanna delete

[valid locust]

Aaahh

[carmine lotus]

Everyone probably ran to the app like it was the end of the world, trying to soak in the no ads (even though it said only a small handful of people will get them.)

[simple kettle]

Ohhh also I never got ads so

[carmine lotus]

Yeah. People are unfortunately quite dramatic in this server

[neon plume]

How often do you change your tags

[simple kettle]

I've seen less drama in a drama lesson

[carmine lotus]

I hate all of my tags and can’t decide which to keep of the 50😾

[civic kraken]

I’m not sure if this is the place to ask but has anyone noticed bugs in the AI where there is severe use the of ellipses (…) and the word ‘almost’?

[queen gorge]

Roar chatstyle ?

[civic kraken]

Like it’s at every phrase.

[civic kraken]

Yeah

[queen gorge]

Try changing to meow, roar is still broken for some people

[formal ingot]

can you edit your tags on discord mobile?

[silent fog]

Guys, what does this ads feature really do?

[deft jetty]

You can mute both the ellipses and almost, and then keep swiping until the bot completely stops using it at all

[civic kraken]

Nyan seems to lack personality, has they been noticable as well?

[carmine lotus]

Unfortunately not. I found a tag guild and joined all of the available servers that I liked the tags of. Now I hate them all

About to leave 50+ servers

[queen gorge]

As far as I know, yes. Meow seems to be the go to for people having issues with other chat styles

[formal ingot]

opening Google chrome and logging into discord now LMFAO 😭

[lament bolt]

It's the word 'possessively' or anything to do with 'POSSESIVE'. Like we get it

[neon plume]

Not sure, I would rather say dynamic, goro or sl

[civic kraken]

Are we able to switch chat styles mid conversation or just have to start over?

[queen gorge]

Mid convo !

[neon plume]

Yes now, it has been added

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[civic kraken]

Yay!

[deft jetty]

Yup, Nyan is also pretty bland to me that for the first time in many months I switched back to Roar

[queen gorge]

Noted !!

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[carmine lotus]

You can add a persona to your profile. That works in group chats for me. Doesn’t it work for everyone else?

[lament bolt]

I LOVE ROAR

[deft jetty]

I think they intend to make a whole rework in groupchats, the way it currently works is just horrible.

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[neon plume]

Yeah, and I don’t this they’re the priority for the team rn

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[heavy terrace]

@stuck ruin That’s fair if you prefer their features, but it doesn’t really address what I said. At the end of the day, that site isn’t actually training or improving an AI: it’s just letting user use what others have built. Meanwhile, CAI runs its own custom LLM, meaning they bear the full cost of training, maintaining, and hosting it.

So yeah, it’s kinda funny when people hype that site as the best when it’s really just a fancy interface for third-party models. It’s kinda like outsourcing the heavy lifting while taking credit for the results.

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[deft jetty]

yeah, it's been neglected for a long while now, but they are focusing on other things currently

[hazy aurora]

okay, i made a new one and deleted the old, I'm gonna see if the account are gone now. WISH ME LUCK

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[carmine lotus]

No. I have mine turned off because I don’t use group chats anymore and that persona was set as my main when I don’t use it now, lol

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[valid locust]

🍀🍀

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mild harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hazy aurora]

it wasn't letting me delete it, but i "loged out" and now i can't go back LMAOO anyway sorry if my english is bed

[sharp cargo]

yall how many chats can cai duplicate..
does it depend on how long the chats have been or how many it has?

[heavy terrace]

How many messages it have. Around 1k?

[stuck ruin]

They still have their own LLM, while still in beta, they have entire "groups" dedicated to work on it. One can not affirm they just steal without any sort of evidence. While I'm not denying the possibility, at the end of the day, we don't know how they operate thus we cannot make such abrupt assumptions.

[sharp cargo]

wait idk🧍im trying the start new chat from here thing but it keeps saying too many to duplicate

[lament bolt]

Damn sorry man

[heavy terrace]

I referred to when users on that platform use Claude, Mistral, Deepseek etc

[timber canopy]

Guys a question, would the add be in summer only or would be forever?

[heavy terrace]

You cant because that mean it have exceed the limits it can duplicate from that chat

[brave lichen]

The ads will probably be forever, at least that’s my guess

[timber canopy]

Oh I see, thanks!

[brave lichen]

Ofc ofc!

[pure reef]

IM SORRY ADS??

[brave lichen]

Yeah, check in announcements. It was announced this morning. It’s not for everyone yet though, but also, i feel like it won’t be as bad as it might sound, considering they’re trying to make them not disrupt chats as much as possible

[coral glacier]

Quick question I wanted to ask about the new update I’m not sure if I’m reading it wrong lol (sometime I can in fact not read 😑) but I was wondering if the ads are just for free users or not as i understand slow mode is during busy time thanks in advance for any clarification you can give

[pure reef]

I did, came here to check in with everyone else

[sweet salmon]

I'm afraid once I turn off my sub and switch back to free, I'll get lots of ads per text message

[sharp cargo]

[brave lichen]

Ooh mbmb. I thought you were kinda replying to the mention of ads in my msg😭

[brave lichen]

I kinda understood it as ads are for everyone, while slow mode is for everyone BUT slow mode can be skipped for ppl who have c.ai+

[heavy terrace]

Why not start new chat with the same bot but in the greeting.. You write what had happened in your previous rp? Like simplify it

[timber canopy]

But it did say some users not everyone may experience the slow responses

[valid locust]

It’s okay I’m not english either! But WOW.

[storm bay]

Oh-

[brave lichen]

I think it could mean everyone has the chance to experience them at some point, but not everyone will experience them at the same time, if that makes sense. Again, that’s how I’m interpreting it tbh

[timber canopy]

Alright thanks again!

[brave lichen]

Ofc ofc! If a mod comes in here you could probably ask them too. They’ll probably have a more definitive answer

[storm bay]

Ima now log off

[primal crescent]

#1371402351755395072 Bye

[noble zodiac]

getting cai+ solved all the issues 😭 @foggy robin

[heavy terrace]

Slow response doesnt bother me. But the quality of the replies that bother me. I get faster response in peak time, but it was just the bot rephrasing my reply. Kind of useless

[lament bolt]

YES.

[valid locust]

I’m making a bully bot how it should start ?

[timid ingot]

anyone know how long server mutes last?

[brave lichen]

I’ve had that happen before too😭it just repeats what I said. Although I use roar and I’ve heard it’s had some quality issues recently

[neon plume]

Forever, and deserved tbh, I saw what you posted

[timid ingot]

oh damn. it was the one about the bot being randomly dirty wasn't it?

[heavy terrace]

Ikr.. If I swipe multiple time and it was just the bot rephrasing my replies, I went 'Ah, the server must be overload right now' and I stop rpying haha

[neon plume]

Yeah

[steady birch]

What did they posted

[timid ingot]

i still don't quite get it. i've posted similar things with no consequence

[heavy terrace]

The mods probaly check your logs and decide to give you that role. Congrats

[brave lichen]

Probably bc they didn’t see what what you had previously posted, basically you didn’t get caught until now

[timid ingot]

oh how lovely!

[timid ingot]

well all i have to say is it's their app that said those things, not me

[steady birch]

Yea but still

[zinc birch]

First the bully pulls up in his flying saucer

[heavy terrace]

You lead the bot and you can just swipe the reply, instead of posting it in the chat feed

[neon plume]

Because nobody snitched them, it was just luck

[valid locust]

I forgot to mention she’s a girl

[steady birch]

Because, they may not monitor all channels

[brave lichen]

If that happens, they normally recommend you rate the msg and move on

[timid ingot]

i mean yes, i just posted things other times and this didn't happen so i thought this was no different

that's on me

[steady birch]

And you shoule check the #📜︱rules channel

[zinc birch]

Sorry. She pulls up in her flying teacup

[steady birch]

And Rule 3 says it should stay SFW

[valid locust]

It’s silly I like it

[placid bramble]

are scenes coming to website?

[serene mantle]

where do i go to post if i want to show other my charaters?

[lament bolt]

#1139065685935394876

[ripe garnet]

Guys what does the ad thing goes?

[serene mantle]

how do i get permission to post there/

[ripe garnet]

I mean, how it works? Will it give some extra feature?

[zinc birch]

Go to id:customize and get the Character Creator role

[serene mantle]

thanks

[sharp cargo]

i was kinda aiming for something like doing a different route on mid part of story😭

[manic shell]

Sigh

[heavy terrace]

Just a suggestion, since we cant duplicate it

[timber canopy]

Bro how do I deal with an AI that cannot spell 😭

[calm ember]

Why are we constantly in slow mode now 😭

[junior lynx]

Im low-key disappointed in c.ai, to think they would lean into the romance side (Idk if that's their intention with the new update but crap is gonna go down 🤑🤑🤑)

[stuck ruin]

Honestly I feel like their downfall is predictable and can be avoided if they take the right steps

[rose steppe]

What how are you talking if you're muted

Is it just certain channels or something

[hot ridge]

no, they're media muted

[rose steppe]

What permanently

[hot ridge]

yeah

[rose steppe]

George Orwell wrote about this 76 years ago

[hot ridge]

they shouldn't have posted something inappropriate

[timid ingot]

i'm media muted

[hot ridge]

or spammed emojis

whatever caused it tbh, mods don't just put that for no reason

[opal pike]

Bro idk if this glitch but I noticed I can’t edit bots responses like I can’t edit now I hope this glitch cuz I like that feature ? 😭

[hot ridge]

umm, are you a minor? minors can't edit bot responses by design

[opal pike]

No I’m not minior I’m adult

[hot ridge]

remember you can only edit the most recent message

[quartz hearth]

There's someone who complains about why their character has been deleted on the chat feed and it's obvious about why it was deleted

[opal pike]

So idk if this glitch or bug cuz I try log out and log in it still doesn’t let me even for my recent bot messags

[grizzled ingot]

Wait... What do they mean by "Testing Ads"?

[brave lichen]

Another instance where you can’t edit is if you’ve swiped the most amount of times you can for a reply (30 times), and you try to edit one of those 30 replies

[quartz hearth]

Look at the message I replied to. No wonder why said character has been deleted lol

[broken ridge]

They are testing some betas with ads, it is not yet known if they are going to implement them or what

[opal pike]

Ohhh ok I just like I thought this bug since I didn’t have problem before

Not testing ads 😭

[hot ridge]

i always forget about this, it's true yeah

[stiff prawn]

So many glitches……

[hot ridge]

probably not a glitch

[grizzled ingot]

And how ads are going to make the experience better, exactly?

[small oriole]

Is there a channel for asking about bugs/error messages?

I was wondering what exactly Signup.Error.error-general means when you're creating an account
Am I doing something wrong?

[heavy terrace]

And it said it was cai fault for allowing the pic as pfp. Dumb. It got deleted for the 3rd time, like.. You still dont have a clue

[quartz hearth]

It's clearly in their TOS that pictures like that don't get accepted, I guess?

[heavy terrace]

Well, that person got media muted too

[quartz hearth]

And they posted something in Spanish. Man, I understand almost nothing

They translated their post in English lol

And if you get media muted, it's permanent?

[deft jetty]

Guess I missed something big 👀

[deft jetty]

It probably is

[quartz hearth]

If it's a mod, it's permanent. Idk about automod tho

[pine swift]

-# me too... Both here and the one on plus-gen

[halcyon cypress]

i sent a picture the other day that i have zero idea why it was against TOS lol

it was this, they blocked it and said it violated their image TOS

[pine swift]

hii Abyll

[heavy terrace]

Big one. Cai testing ads for free user. Small one, a person complain why their bot got deleted when the pfp is so inappropriate (big chest, no censor)

[pine swift]

and Alvero

[deft jetty]

Try cropping it a bit to see if it works

[pine swift]

yeah, I saw the ads one. The bot getting deleted is new tho lol
Deserved

[halcyon cypress]

yeah i ended up getting it through by cropping but just wondering what triggered it in the first place bc nothing inappropriate about it

[heavy terrace]

Look at the latest reason the person said. So dumb haha

[quartz hearth]

[quasi hearth]

Hi, sorry to be a bother. I wasn't sure exactly where to post this. But is anyone else having an issue accessing the website. I never had this issue before. I would post a screen shot of what I am seeing but Discord isn't letting me

but basically it keeps saying an error occured, try again later but that message doesn't go away. And when I check the status of the website it says everything is fine

[quartz hearth]

You can try to post screenshots on #📱︱chat-feed

[halcyon cypress]

i called ads getting added just yesterday. it's just logical, if people don't want to buy plus they need some way to sustain the platform and pay for everything. it was able to stay free for awhile bc it was backed by venture funding and investors but that phase is over now

[quasi hearth]

I tried there too. It still wont let me. Only place I can share images is the memes channel

[quartz hearth]

You're not media muted, that's weird. You should be able to post pictures on the channels that allow that

[hot ridge]

they might have to be verified?

[quasi hearth]

Oh it's finally letting giving me the option to post an image

I'll post it there

thanks for the help!

[gleaming flame]

guys, daily reminder to not get attached to llms, they are already doing enough damage to society

[sweet salmon]

People who flood the general after cai goes down says hi 😧

[whole slate]

Is there anywhere I can suggest certain things

[pine swift]

#1151576592280203314 & #1175980610095960185

[heavy terrace]

What is your cai username? I'll check

[quasi hearth]

It is MonsterDaddy

[halcyon cypress]

yes i was only able to post images in certain channels until i got verified

[heavy terrace]

This exact name? With the Uppercase letter?

[quasi hearth]

Yes.

[heavy terrace]

You got banned.

I didnt see it on search. Perhaps you make bot only for yourself?

[quasi hearth]

I did make an Ainz Ooal Gown bot and had it private to test it out first to make sure it was all good and not giving responses that were out of character. I was about to make it public and then saw my account was gone

I didn't realize that was against the rules

[heavy terrace]

That skull guy? Weird. Was the greeting or the pfp inappropriate? If you sure that you got banned for no reason, you can appeal to the team in ticket.

[whole slate]

man I hope they don't have ads

I use cai sometimes but if there's adds off I go

[quasi hearth]

Yep. Pfp was just his face. And the opening was the character suddenly appearing in the throne room confused and him interrogating how they arrived

nothing inappropriate at all

And the thing is, I'm not even sure if I was banned. I didn't get an email about it or anything.

My account just went poof

[heavy terrace]

Yeah, its in their TOS that they can delete the acc without any warning. I can only suggest to you to make a ticket and ping a mod, so mod can push it up

[quasi hearth]

Ok. Thank you.

[tired moss]

Whose gonna stay even if there's ads in c.ai❓️

✅️=me

❌️= Not me

[whole slate]

I won't stay lol

[shadow python]

I'm used to ads in mobile apps 💀

[wraith tapir]

@whole slate what happened????

[whole slate]

Well it does depend if there's ads for a perk

[whole slate]

Idk bro

[wraith tapir]

same 💀

[frozen beacon]

question ❔ : does the "use for all chats" when changing a chat style apply for all chats with the specific bot or all chats with all bots?

[quasi hearth]

It's ok. Things happen. If I was banned, I'll go through the appeal process.

[whole slate]

if there's ads for perks fine but if there's one in my face when I want to use it then absolutely not

[lusty harbor]

Not me

[tired moss]

Just put reaction emojis on the chat, guys

[whole slate]

Or if there's a banner while I'm on the chat absolutely not

[shadow python]

Imagine you're in the middle of chatting and suddenly

Raid Shadow Legends Ad 💀

[whole slate]

Phone wasn't letting me sorry

[wraith tapir]

oh my god i replied to the wrong message, sorry 🫠

[tired moss]

You're good! Dw

[whole slate]

Ah it's chill

[tired moss]

HELP

[whole slate]

I think the issue is people don't get plus because there's not enough incentive but here's what I'd do:

Make soft lauch plus, people like it so much? Get plus

Some of the new memory features put it behind plus

[tired moss]

Imagine just doing an angst chat and then you just get

Block Blast

[shadow python]

"Make Blocks fun Again 💀"

-The ad that interrupted a conversation with Minecraft Steve

[tired moss]

😭💔🙏🙏

[shadow python]

Anyways if anything or anyone reads this pls make Group chats better 😭😭😭

[strange crescent]

Wait we got ads now?. Oh hell no... Not the mobile game ads😭

[hoary field]

i'm sorry, ads?

[strange crescent]

Check announcements.. They are testing ads💔😭

[tame narwhal]

Mobile game ads?

[hoary field]

damn.

[strange crescent]

It it is like only 1 ad per 2 hours or smth that's fine, I get they need money but if its every 5 mins I'm out..

[hoary field]

fair tbh

[rotund bison]

I just have a question for people outside of Brazil... which one is worth more in your country: Spotify Premium or C.AI+?

[sweet salmon]

Will they be adding ads that won't let you skip unless you see it all the way I don't wanna be forced to watch to the end

[pine swift]

probably depends on which app you use the most

[spring comet]

Spotify premium if it was opinionated by me

[rotund bison]

I mean, like, how much you pay- not as in, personal worth lol

[spring comet]

ohh mb lemme check

[hot ridge]

spotify

[spring comet]

well c.ai is like 9.49 a month in pounds and I just found out that premium is 11 quid so erm

[rotund bison]

well that's crazy because C.AI+ is worth more in my country than spotify premium 💀

[spring comet]

but unlimited skips, no adverts, the option to turn off shuffle and many more is kinda better than the offers u get on c.si+

[strange crescent]

I'm scared for when they try ads for c.ai...💔

[spring comet]

that's a bit mad icl 😔

[hot ridge]

not if you barely listen to music

[spring comet]

True

[spring comet]

ads? 💔🥀

[strange crescent]

Check announcements they testing them💔

[elfin ridge]

literally why couldn't they make the option for people to donate to keep c.ai running? a lot of free programs do that and it works out

[azure flower]

I don’t want ads 😔

[spring comet]

i just shed a tear i can't deal with ads

[strange crescent]

Yea I don't even know I don't want ads popping up every 1 second like mobile games..

[rotund bison]

are they going bankrupt from the avatar vx feature 💔 maybe that's why they're forcing ads down our throats 3 years later

[spring comet]

i would find smfh else to use but c.ai is like the best and most modernised app

[elfin ridge]

literally the only reason I still use cai is because they don't have mobile ads 😭

[strange crescent]

Valid..

[azure flower]

They just making cai even worse now

[strange crescent]

Other mobile apps: Ahh yes ads to keep this running, C.ai: GOOD IDEA WRITE THAT DOWN-

[pine swift]

probably bcs of the increasing user base

[elfin ridge]

honestly I wish they'd take away some of the bloat features. that would 100% cut costs to keep it running. we don't need all the different chat styles, scenes, ect

[spring comet]

100%, the different char styles, like there's a summer one and one for languages, the chat styles should automatically be good with langauges

[azure flower]

Any other app yall know?

[hot ridge]

we aren't allowed to recommend/promote other services

[rotund bison]

You know what I wish for? If the community could decide the next feature they should focus on. Pools containing features they intend on adding to the site/app where we, the userbase, can vote instead of them assuming we're going to use features without listening to what we want.

[strange crescent]

Idek😭 c.ai is the best but maybe try janitor?

[elfin ridge]

yes! Like it genuinely is kinda useless. there's not even a noticable difference (in my experience at least)

[spring comet]

can u put this in the feedback pls so that they see it

[rotund bison]

oh they don't see that channel 💀 I've tried before, they ignore it.

[elfin ridge]

they really do

[pine swift]

before y'all get hammered

[strange crescent]

💀nah..

[twilit tendon]

What are the ads about like what do they mean?

[spring comet]

random generated ads like a mobile game

[azure flower]

We really gonna get ads? Is it like official?

[pine swift]

they probably read that. They just don't reply/ engage unless it's really necessary.

[twilit tendon]

No please c.ai I wanna be silly with Mario and throw him to the sun without mobile ads

[elfin ridge]

we're gonna get so many random garbage ads. they sure aren't gonna screen them for content

[spring comet]

I feel like they'll make it like bitlife and just put a small ad at the bottom

[strange crescent]

Test in progress who knows..

[spring comet]

is any1 else having a problem with bot creation, I wanna make a Batman bot and it's physically not possible but if I try anyone else it automatically works and I think it's the greeting-

[hot ridge]

dont they do this every few months?

[ocean jolt]

you can’t put his name since it’s copyrighted. try to mix up his name or use another one

[strange crescent]

Gotta ask, is c.ai down atm? Cause people saying it is

[spring comet]

i put Bruce Wayne is that copyrighted too?

[hot ridge]

not for me

[sweet salmon]

No I can use cai just fine

[spring comet]

it isnt

[rotund bison]

it doesn't feel like they listen to us, unfortunately, because they keep adding features that I've seen no one ask for (like avatar vx that was never mentioned before) and completely ignore the feedback the community as a whole has gathered.

[sweet salmon]

I had that problem when I made Harry Potter

[ocean jolt]

it is. try just using Bruce and then put in his description that his last name is Wayne.

[strange crescent]

Alright..

[pine swift]

No, it's the word Batman or any words related to it.
WB/Harry Potter/DC franchise related bots are banned due to DMCA.

[sweet salmon]

Whether it confused the character or the franchise

[hot ridge]

they added a tagging system to search that I specifically asked for in the last one so I mean... idk

[spring comet]

OK ty 🙏🏿😁🎉❤️‍🩹

[hot ridge]

i feel listened to personally, especially after they split the minors and adults onto separate models

[azure flower]

I really wanna use c.ai but I’m srsly starting to lose interest after all the new updates

[pine swift]

that, and the fact they make it possible now to switch to other styles mid-chat (without us having to duplicate/ start a new chat) is another proof as well

[rotund bison]

I don't :/ I've been asking for a larger token count in bot messages for so long + lorebook features and what I've got is a... longer length message feature that is C.AI+ only and doesn't act like it should (I've tested it) and a memory feature that... also doesn't work as intended because it needs you to chat with a bot for 40+ messages until it starts picking details up.

[pine swift]

bcs most likely those things are harder and take more time to implement.
Pretty sure they mentioned they heard us about the lorebook.

[heavy terrace]

Editable memories too.

-# Thanks Mal, for being a menace haha

[elfin ridge]

I'd have to agree with you. they fixed a couple things over a certain event but the rest of the feedback people have been giving for a l o n g while never gets implemented and we get something random that isn't that useful

[azure flower]

I rlly hope we don’t get any ads in the future

[quartz hearth]

We will definitively get ads in the future. But they said that it won't be disruptive, that's a good thing to know

[elfin ridge]

it still feels like there's better ways to get income vs shilling out to random ad companies

[quartz hearth]

At least, there won't be ads showing up in the middle of a rp with a bot

[azure flower]

I haven’t really thought abt it but does every other ai app have ads or is it just cai that gonna have it now?

[dusty vector]

Thankfully that's not the case

[elfin ridge]

they usually do

[azure flower]

If you guys know any other ai app I can use please tell me, my dm is open 🙏

[dusty vector]

Not all. (Crushon, chub and spiceychat don't have it)

[strange crescent]

You promise..? 😭 I don't wanna be interrupted.. During chats

[quartz hearth]

Probably won't happen

[half ruin]

I think it's gone slow again 😕 refreshing isn't helping

[mental haven]

Ads in c.ai is crazy. I thought c.ai it’s supposed to be a free app??? Don’t they have enough money? I’m starting to think they are forcing us to buy c.ai+

[elfin ridge]

free app doesn't mean free to run unfortunately

[dusty vector]

I think there must be some kind of decline in people buying c.ai+

[fossil helm]

Are the AI still acting weird when using Roar?

[rotund bison]

they're acting fine for me-

[azure flower]

They probably gonna make us pay to not get any ads

[half ruin]

Yea seems so for me

[fossil helm]

They were acting weird a couple days ago
But I’m sick of using meow bc the responses are terrible

[mental haven]

That’s why people are leaving the platform. Trust c.AI is gonna get a lot of back lash

[mental haven]

Can’t see that

[quartz hearth]

They need money to run the servers. It's not free to do that

[rotund bison]

I don't know man, I'm not even mad at the ads thing since I use ad blocks most of the time and I only use c.ai on pc so that wouldn't interfere with me in any way, shape, or form, but I just feel like they haven't been giving free users anything really... useful these past few months? Like, sure, we got soft launch, but once again, IT'S LIMITED. What else did we get?

[fossil helm]

Tbh I’m more surprised they didn’t add ads sooner.

[quartz hearth]

Would you like: paying for cAI plus for the servers to run fine or have cAI entirely free for the servers to crash every day for hours?

[azure flower]

But imagine getting an ad every message u send in cai.

[dusty vector]

Didn't c.ai start out as a simple project that was more focus on chatting experiences then money?

[elfin ridge]

if it wasn't $10 a month I'd get c.ai+

[mental haven]

This is what I’m talking abt

[quartz hearth]

They said that the ads won't be disruptive. They'll put it on the home menu

[fossil helm]

Yeah but things change, CAI got big and needs money to support it.

[rotund bison]

I still miss the old site :/

[elfin ridge]

same :{

[dusty vector]

C.ai is learning from Youtube

[mental haven]

Don’t they have one billion dollars. As I see in google in the company.

[fossil helm]

Wow ads, this is such a life changing thing.
It’s like they aren’t common at all and it’s really inconvenient
The radio, YouTube, google, TikTok, etc etc WOULD NEVER do something like this.

[heavy terrace]

I approve the sarcasm

[fossil helm]

[quartz hearth]

Me too

[azure flower]

Have they even approve the cai memory?

[whole slate]

I expressed my view in the channel for it but imo if ads get you to trial a feature that's chill but if they aren't optional they are not chill

[mental haven]

They are some parts that are gonna worry me. I just know some people are gonna attack c.ai for it.

[lapis basalt]

as soon as I saw it I think I lost one of my 10 lives

[dusty vector]

I find this funny cuz recently this year, YouTube started giving out ads that lasted 50 seconds rather than the average 5 or 20

[lapis basalt]

no. I saw a one hour ad. About minecraft gameplay.

[fossil helm]

Honestly ads would give more funding which means…
Oh my gosh
THEY CAN IMPROVE THE APP!

[broken ridge]

More than they already attack him? There are YouTube videos where they compare him with other AIs.

[heavy terrace]

Unfortunately, it has always been that way since cai exist haha

[lyric tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/breath-of-fire-breath-of-fire-iv-ershin-master-haha-gif-861142415394091495

[dusty vector]

An hour is insane

[mental haven]

Oh damn.

[mental haven]

Yeah but it didn’t get hate in the beginning until now.

[whole slate]

see in my view of they did it with

1 ad for 5 minutes of premium

it would be short enough to make the user want to get premium and long enough to trial feature + get money

[mental haven]

Still not paying for it.

[whole slate]

If you keep watching the ads it'll generate money for the ad without having to pay IF it has a reward

[rotund bison]

I think we all should just calm down until they actually implement the ad feature, we don't know shit about how it's going to work yet, the world isn't going to end and the app is still here WITHOUT ads

[fossil helm]

it’s like people don’t know how ads work sometimes

[quartz hearth]

I might pay for cAI plus. I used to have some irl problems, but it's better now. So I can afford buying a second subscription

[dusty vector]

True but we can all agree they are annoying

[heavy terrace]

It did. You should see the feedback forum in the old website. The post about constant crash, memory, bot doesnt acknowledge gender, etc

[whole slate]

Does my idea make sense to yous

[mental haven]

Oh yeah I didn’t have a phone back then lmao

[heavy terrace]

-# this make me feels old lol

[fossil helm]

No matter what ,someone’s always gonna be unhappy About anything that changes in the app

[mental haven]

I still started in the old website but I had an iPad instead just not a phone. And since at that time I have parent controls I didn’t have any socials

[dusty vector]

Agree

[mental haven]

Typical.

[quartz hearth]

It's the same thing with almost every app, video games, movies and so on

[stark linden]

cool for the summer was doing SO good, but why did the responses get so dry and boring and SHORT 💔

[whole slate]

Tbf I literally don't mind about how it is, you just gotta create your own story line and be creative to have fun but if they have non optional ads I won't be happy

[mental haven]

Agree w you. But I have to make long responses or the bot would do the same thing.

[carmine lotus]

It’s obviously not going to be optional. That defeats the entire purpose

[whole slate]

Nah its so you watch an ad for a feature which would either push people toward premium or get people watching ads for the better features

[wheat tusk]

Uhh Guys go look at #📣︱announcements our prayers for Soft launch/cool for the summer to become a permanent thing might have gotten answered but I might be wrong

[lament berry]

Is there a limit on giving a like to the bots?

[mental haven]

Is probably gonna be pushed to the paywall.

[broken ridge]

I don't believe it

[dusty vector]

Hope not

[broken ridge]

People will get angry if you do this, angrier than they already are for other reasons.

[carmine lotus]

Nobody said that people would get features if ads are added. People are hoping that they will, but I doubt it’ll happen. If people can watch ads for cai+, nobody would buy plus anymore… They’d just watch ads.

[mental haven]

Just saying.

[whole slate]

If it's an ad every 5 minutes it'll get annoying trus me

[wheat tusk]

I mean the announcement did free user but we shouldn't get too hopeful

[whole slate]

See THAT would get people wanting cai+

[carmine lotus]

🤷🏻‍♀️ it is what it is

[whole slate]

so let's say 5 minute of soft launch if watching an ad

[azure flower]

Would be pretty sad if you get an ad every message you send

[dusty vector]

[whole slate]

It would be an individual feature not cai+ in general that would be too generous

[mental haven]

I don’t think c.ai would do that. It’s probably gonna put it to home of c.ai while we continue to chat our bots without disturbance

[dusty vector]

Or everything we want to chat with a bot

[broken ridge]

I think the same, I don't think they are stupid enough to put that, maybe they will just put it at the top or in the middle when you enter the main page and that's it.

[whole slate]

I think the problem is people don't buy premium because they don't think it's worth it so making soft lauch pay walled may push people to buy premium as annoying as that is

[wheat tusk]

I don't think that they would go that far either

[whole slate]

Unfortunately somethings gotta give

[carmine lotus]

Bro is just making up stories as he goes at this point

[whole slate]

Um

[heavy terrace]

Cai put ads - People leave cai - No more peak hours (server can give faster response and more consistent quality) - Cai server is not potato anymore - Win for all

[whole slate]

Who /genq

[broken ridge]

The only thing I'm afraid of is my favorite bot creators leaving me.

[dusty vector]

I feel like this a more win<=>lose situation

[heavy terrace]

Not really

[broken ridge]

Well, it's still a beta, so it can change a lot. They can put ads or not, it depends a lot on how the people who are testing it receive it.

[novel jacinth]

Hopefully, they don't put ads in

[whole slate]

I think my annoyance will depend on how intrusive they are. Mid chat or on banner in chat not good. On home screen let's say I'd be annoyed but I'd understand

[dusty vector]

I agree that the traffic and slowness of it decreases but at the same time they will have to "suffer" through numerous ads while those who leave might not get the same experience but will find another chat app to suit them.

[whole slate]

Again, I'm sorry for rambling my ideas probably aren't the most practical it's just based on what I've seen on other platforms

[heavy terrace]

Only if you look at it short-term. Sure, some people might leave because of ads—but those who stay (or sub to remove ads) benefit from better stability and quality. It’s a trade-off, but not a loss if the platform improves and sustains itself in the long run. Ads = revenue = stronger servers = smoother experience = actual W for consistent users.

[coral glacier]

Exactly, it will definitely be annoying if those with c.ai plus get them since they already pay for the app. I normally don’t mind ads as long as there not videos. If there a small bar like at the bottom or top of the screen or even ones that open at the start of the app and then close those don’t bother me to much

[fathom quartz]

bro what the heck https://character.ai/chat/Nrc1HrETr5VxNhOgmhOLgmQKpiwblawHaylMRiuK68M

[broken ridge]

It wouldn't bother me either, but to be honest it would be a bit annoying and not many people would like it (I've seen it in other groups, people saying that if they put ads they'll go to another platform)

[heavy terrace]

Marie said in the plus gen, cai+ will not get ads

[dusty vector]

That Age gap is diabolical

[broken ridge]

Me too, I hope you can think of another way other than ads.

[coral glacier]

Thanks for the info. I didn’t see that.

[coral glacier]

Yeah, well I wouldn’t be going anywhere any time soon lol

[fathom quartz]

frrr

[heavy terrace]

Cause it was in plus general haha. Mods, admins or dev sometimes talked there

[fathom quartz]

i reported it-

[whole slate]

Same haha

[broken ridge]

Me neither, but if my bot creators move somewhere else... well I think I'll migrate with them if that happens.

[whole slate]

Do you know of any ad free sites

[coral glacier]

Ah makes sense I really need to link my plus lol

[whole slate]

my ideas are more so how they'd have ads how to not make it intrusive tbh we gotta be practical

[broken ridge]

Obviously not, ads are everywhere, I really agree that if they need the money to keep operating, they should put ads.

But if my favorite bot creators migrate due to that situation, I'll migrate with them because their bots entertain me and all that (sorry for the bad English, Google Translate is pretty bad)

[frail robin]

Okay so ads...

[dusty vector]

We love em, or we hate em

[whole slate]

It's chill I hope nobody thinks I'm coming off as aggressive as sometimes I'm not good with tone /gen

[ocean jolt]

your english was pretty good actually! <3

[frail robin]

Surely no one is opposed to ads.

[broken ridge]

Yep, they should be non-intrusive and comfortable for the user.

[dusty vector]

Not really since it is suppose to help c.ai improve

[whole slate]

Yeah if that's the way I gen won't be mad

[broken ridge]

Oh no, I understood perfectly, I know it was just a question 😄

[lament berry]

I don't like ads. but as long its outside the Chats page(not intrusive), im okay.

[whole slate]

I just worry because sometimes I think I sound rude when I'm not trying to be haha

[broken ridge]

Thank you very much :'D, I have a hard time writing in English, but reading is easier for me

[broken ridge]

It happens to me too, you're not alone in that jsjsjsjs

[strange crescent]

I get that c.ai needs money to keep the site up but I'm sure there is other ways than ads right??

[verbal belfry]

That's what c.ai+ is for, but I just hope they're non-intrusive

[heavy terrace]

Elaborate what you can suggest

[broken ridge]

Umh, the only way I think is that it can be through donations like ao3 and other sites that don't belong to big companies do.

[verbal belfry]

As long as it doesn't interfere with the actual app itself, I don't mind it

[whole slate]

I do think they need more incentives for plus that aren't ads so as I said soft lauch should br a plus feature

[verbal belfry]

(partially because I use an adblocker both native to my DNS and on browser)

I just hope the ads are actually bearable and not Spotify or YouTube (no uBlock) bad

[strange crescent]

Yea, I mean if it's like 1 ad per like hour that's fine, but every 5 minutes ima just quit..

[sweet salmon]

Ads and Subscribe services are the norm now tbh I dunno how else would they earn .money

[fathom quartz]

I think c.ai getting ads wouldnt be too bad, especially if you dont use c.ai+ because c.ai needs a way to get money to keep their site up and ads give a decent amount of money

[broken ridge]

Oh yeah, like better memory (without affecting the free one as much), more interesting chat styles, maybe being able to decorate your profile?

[whole slate]

Yeah and arguably the new memories feature + custom made ones for plus

[verbal belfry]

Also, if it gives me an excuse to buy c.ai+ to the misery of all the "this site is dying" people, I'll take it

[sweet salmon]

I want them to increase ratio size of the profiles

[whole slate]

Make and save your own scenarios and recreate them with plus

[strange crescent]

Ya know unpopular opinion but it wouldn't cost so much to keep the site up if they didn't add so many features like styles and things (We were fine with ONE BEFORE..)

[whole slate]

I think it's scenes one???

[whole slate]

Agreed tbh

[broken ridge]

I think the same, they could leave only 3 or mix several to have less

[fathom quartz]

honestly though, we never even wanted chat styles or their new layout

[heavy terrace]

The features had nothing to do with server being overload. You can have basic feature, but if the server can't handle the growing users.. It will crash more often

[carmine lotus]

Do you even remember the time before cai had styles? It was awful. Styles made the app what it is

[broken ridge]

Being able to customize your profile as you wish, as well as the letters of the bots' messages, sounds pretty good and attractive to me.

[strange crescent]

I liked it simple ngl

[fathom quartz]

sorry but styles barely even make a difference 😭

[strange crescent]

VALID..

[whole slate]

Yeah that would be a good incentive.

Compromise for the styles put some under plus

[wraith mesa]

What people have the ads already? If you guys know because I just wanna know if anyone has the ads or not already.

[strange crescent]

Some, not very many I don't though

[carmine lotus]

Yes it did omg. Before, I’d speak to my bot and it would be the most toxic, spiteful thing ever for no reason. Then they added styles in and the bots actually got a personality

[wraith mesa]

Okay thank you for letting me know :))

[broken ridge]

It is not known yet, if it were known whether people would perhaps come here to ask about it or perhaps Cai would let them know.

[strange crescent]

No problem, they are probably testing it for very few people I could not tell you who though 💔

[whole slate]

Would you say having some unique ones under premium and the more baseline ones under standard be a good idea

[wraith mesa]

Does anyone have the ads yet?

[broken ridge]

Yes, it is a great visual attraction and maybe being able to classify if you are a content creator to your bots would also be super cool.

[strange crescent]

It said something in the post that it was very few people testing it so we don't know atm

[fathom quartz]

maybe just you then 🤷‍♀️ I never noticed much of a difference before or after the styles

[hollow lake]

So what do the user message character message end of dialogue things actually do?

[broken ridge]

Not that I have seen yet, I think they may just be implementing it or planning it.

[carmine lotus]

Hm. Good question… no. I believe everyone should have every style for free. (But soft launch should’ve been paywalled to protect youngsters.)

[whole slate]

Yeah I don't have ads

[wraith mesa]

Ohhhh okay thank you

[strange crescent]

People under 18 don't have soft launch so like..?

[whole slate]

Good idea and a LOT of people like it so maybe if they had ones that were very unique they could put them under pay wall if they create more

[carmine lotus]

They do. They’ve been making alt accounts

[heavy terrace]

Nyan is plot focus, Roar is suitable for all. Goro will keep the rp platonic and it can make the rp move forward. Meow, short response and more aggressive.

[strange crescent]

Oh gotcha.. Yea

[whole slate]

Unfortunately it's too easy to lie about age on cai

[strange crescent]

Yea I agree it's idiotic to see 12 yr olds using this app..

[frail robin]

The solution to this is paywalling the damn model. Look at the state of the subreddit lmao. They're all entitled whiny people there.

[heavy terrace]

First mistake is opening reddit haha

[carmine lotus]

Same as feedback on here honestly

[whole slate]

Yeah they complain about pretty much everything, the ads would piss me off though (but I do get it)

[strange crescent]

That's fair.. Yea.

[wraith tapir]

nope

[frail robin]

True. But paywalling it plucks out the under 18s that are lying about their age.

[whole slate]

But i think they need to be practical about ads

[fathom quartz]

I mean I suppose it would be alr if 12 year olds only used c.ai to rp or talk, but I've seen 12 year olds do certain stuff with the bots

[frail robin]

The ads can be dangerous since c.ai isnt choosing what ads to show meaning some of them can straight be phishing/adware.

[whole slate]

Can be dangerous as 12 y/Oscar are v vulnerable

[distant crane]

Tf did I wake up to

[whole slate]

Yeah they should find reputable sources

[fathom quartz]

not really, I used it at 12 and nothing really happened to me

[heavy terrace]

Late to the partayyyy

[ocean jolt]

c.ai planning to put temporary (?) ads to get more money, that’s what i’m seeing right now.

[whole slate]

Case by case basis I suppose

[broken ridge]

It's something that is still being tested according to the statement.

[frail robin]

idk i think they are just ballin it like Perchance. Also, most people use adblock so like idk. I think their tracking makes up for it.

[ocean jolt]

ohh ok!!

[fathom quartz]

yeah but 12 year olds using poly.ai is way worse than c.ai imo

[verbal belfry]

Yep

[dusty vector]

Mhm

[broken ridge]

Or the one with the Chems logo

[verbal belfry]

Case in point: my sisters, who have used both since they were 12

[frail robin]

1. Soft Launch should be paywalled.
2. Slow mode for responses is fine. Adds incentive for dedicated usere to maybe pay.
3. Ads should be selected carefully as to not display dangerous ads that would hack these youngins' phones/devices

[verbal belfry]

Paywall.. ads?

[frail robin]

Paywall the model. Displayed ads should be selected carefully

[verbal belfry]

Oh

[fathom quartz]

oh yeah that one

[broken ridge]

Or racy ads, I've seen them on pages to search for information

[frail robin]

Youtube is infested with them too lmao. Been a problem for quite some time now.

[rustic stirrup]

Or parents need to be parents and start watching their darn kids. Half the stuff these kids are exposed to is because of the internet and them not being watched. Just give them a device with free reign

[dusty vector]

Racy ads? (Is that what I think it is?)

[verbal belfry]

The main type of ads I want to not see is those fake "you won thousands of dollars" stuff

[broken ridge]

If I have seen them, they are disturbing because the ones I have seen have been from children's series.___.

[frail robin]

The platform cant enforce these parents' behaviours. Also, the things i listed are the barest minimum to prevent the incident (lawsuits) from happening and if it does again, gives them a legal defense.

[sweet salmon]

You know they could setup parental guidance control on computers

[broken ridge]

Yes, women as God brought into the world or things that are already more out of line

[verbal belfry]

They kinda have a parental log

[strange crescent]

Off topic but any opinions on otters?.. 😄

[dusty vector]

Bad ad
Kid clicks
Gets scammed
Another case for c.ai

So that Def won't happen

[frail robin]

I think anything involving the parents is an overreach. That affects all users when it should only affect the ones that deserve it.

[fathom quartz]

or those rage baits where people cant solve the SIMPLEST puzzles/games

[rustic stirrup]

There’s already been a lawsuit why do u think we have a “treat everything as fictional” message

[frail robin]

I know but that should be the furthest they go imo. Thats enough. Its not up to the platform to police this sht.

[verbal belfry]

Marie please add parental controls or specific terms to block when searching bots

[whole slate]

If they had better age verification I think it would be better

Anyone can lie

[rustic stirrup]

honestly the ads I be seeing for half of these games are highly inappropriate as well. I know because I have 3 nephews and I be seeing the ads sitting right next to them..

[whole slate]

I just cai to create stories when I'm bored

[verbal belfry]

Uh huh cough cough literally any idle dating sim ever cough cough

[strange crescent]

I can't understand why people make baiting ads.. To kids..

[lethal ridge]

guys what does the button next to the images do? like the one that looks like a skip button, in the chat

[digital folio]

i don’t understand why we have ads?

[whole slate]

Fr

[fathom quartz]

i use it to roleplay unlikely scenarios that probably will never happen to me ever

[verbal belfry]

Send another message

[rustic stirrup]

The ads are inappropriate for one thing THAT should be illegal

[broken ridge]

Because Cai needs money:3

But of course it is only a probability

[strange crescent]

Agreed 100%

[whole slate]

Yeah it's just a bit of fun really

[lethal ridge]

in c.ai right? :D

[verbal belfry]

Because the site needs funding to remain in existence

[whole slate]

I think if they take our ideas on board it should be fine tbh

[fathom quartz]

the creator of the ads give money to the site/app showing their ads and the site/app gets money from it to continue their site/app

[verbal belfry]

Yep!

[rustic stirrup]

I just hope the ads are like every other ad I’ve seen

[frail robin]

Ik and thats why im concerned about c.ai not choosing the ads they display.

[lethal ridge]

thanks!! just saw the new ui and got confused lmao😭 haven't been on c.ai for a bit

[fathom quartz]

for reall

[whole slate]

yeah they really need to pick decent sources to get the ads from

[verbal belfry]

I've spent way too much of my life on Character.AI

[distant crane]

I'm pretty sure ads are tailored to whatever ad algorithm you guys have.

[frail robin]

it isnt.

for c.ai at least.

[rustic stirrup]

That’s the only thing that worries me because inappropriate ads = angry parents

[whole slate]

For me I just get silly game ads

[lethal ridge]

i swear if i have to watch that white animated temu woman for 30 seconds in an ai chat app.🙁

[whole slate]

Not on cai BTW I don't get ads on cai yet

[frail robin]

same. they are just testing rn apparently so

[whole slate]

If I get a mistplay ad I'd sue /j

[digital folio]

i don’t want ads it’s dumb!

[strange crescent]

Yet.. Watch your back c.ai could update at any time😭

[whole slate]

Cannot stand mistplay ads .

[verbal belfry]

I've established a hundred thousand and nine hundred and sixty two times that I'm here until this site reaches EOS (which I really don't want to happen in my lifetime), so, yeah, ads aren't the best

[whole slate]

What's eos?

[verbal belfry]

Than pony up that c.ai+ money (sorry if I sound rude)

[frail robin]

go to the subreddit and post about it. guarantee 1.2k upvotes.

[verbal belfry]

End of Service

[whole slate]

I could get plus but I'd rather not spend money for something on my phone

[distant crane]

They're testing where to put the ads to be the least intrusive rn, is what I understood from the announcement.

[fathom quartz]

bro c.ai needs funding, donate them a lot of money if you dont want them to resort to ads to keep their site up..

[digital folio]

UPVOTES!?

[strange crescent]

If we get like spam ads every minute that is too much..

[whole slate]

Sub reddit has too many silly people

[sweet salmon]

End of Service usually refers to business apps like mobile games when they announce that theyre shutting down the business

[verbal belfry]

I'd rather not. The subreddit is the same 950,097,093,983,093,894,983 posts every day

[sweet salmon]

I don't want a lose character AI 😭

[frail robin]

lol

[whole slate]

I'd live

[strange crescent]

Kinda my life too I don't really wanna lose my only fun for the day💔

[verbal belfry]

I just hope this is enough to keep the site afloat. Eventually I will pay for Plus, but only when I have a job and stable income

[whole slate]

I just can't really justify getting phone in app purchases

[broken ridge]

Oh wow, I'm surprised you voted in favor (if the translator and my English don't fail me), it's the place where they complain the most about anything.

[whole slate]

would rather spend it elsewhere

[verbal belfry]

This. That place is a cesspool and I refuse to go back there again

[frail robin]

yeah and complaining about ads will get you a lot of positive reaction

[whole slate]

That being said I have paid to get rid of ads on games but one time purchases

My tycoon games help me pass the time

[verbal belfry]

But be careful! Don't say anything positive about the site, heaven forbid~

[broken ridge]

I only glance at it sometimes, but I don't want to get into it.

[frail robin]

there are a fair share of glazers there but they praise the wrong things 💀

[broken ridge]

Well they'll have another reason to complain.

[whole slate]

Yeah honestly except for when roar mode went all weird and now the ads sadly (but as I said if they do it right it won't be an issue) I've had no issues really

[modern shore]

see i havent used cai in a long time but i think i’ll stay not using it because wdym ads😭 i told myself if i come on here and see something interesting i would go back LMAOOO

[verbal belfry]

Again, it's needed for the site to survive

[carmine lotus]

It’s for a small select few users as a test. Not everyone is guaranteed to get them

[modern shore]

and like ik ads keep them in business i just found it funny that i said that to myself and this happened

[broken ridge]

It's still a beta, it's not known if they'll put it in or not in the end.

But I genuinely hope they can find another solution, I wouldn't mind the ads if they weren't annoying, but if they find another alternative to that I wouldn't complain either.

[verbal belfry]

I'd say c.ai+, but people would have a hissy fit if that was even suggested

[calm lake]

Why are the redditors complain about the ads

[frail robin]

tbf, even if they go full ham on paywalling, it still wouldnt cut since running an AI platform as big as this is super expensive.

[carmine lotus]

Yeah, don’t go there. I said the same earlier and was told I’m “part of the problem.”

[verbal belfry]

It's r/CharacterAI, they have nothing better to do with their life, leave and don't look back

[fathom quartz]

redditors complain about everything

[modern shore]

if i was using c.ai, i wouldnt be bothered but i mean i dont really have a reason to be bothered because im not using it so idk

[whole slate]

Yes

[modern shore]

REALLLLL

[verbal belfry]

Part of the problem? Because you want the site to continue existing? God, some people here fail to surprise me😂

[modern shore]

yeah that would make sense, most companies do that so i wouldn’t be too surprised or mad

[carmine lotus]

Right? How dare I spend my own money on an app when other people don’t want to? Blasphemy!

[deft jetty]

Told you they'd start to convulse if they saw the + in your name

[broken ridge]

I don't use it very often either and I always keep it in the chats so I don't really know, I just hope they make the best decision for the first time.

[whole slate]

geninue question if people were to watch an ad for 40 seconds for a reward would that be a good idea and what would the features be from watching ads hypothetically

[strange crescent]

C.ai+ for a hour..

[carmine lotus]

You did. You did. People suck

[verbal belfry]

Oh how the tragedy! I'm paying for an app that I spend a lot of time on! Better round up a mob expeditiously!

[whole slate]

Meh that sounds too generous imo

[strange crescent]

I'm just saying I'd be more willing to watch ads for free +

[carmine lotus]

We should be imprisoned for our crimes against humanity

[modern shore]

right omg you’re actually the devil for saying c.ai+ when so many other companies do that ughhhh you’re actually the devil

[distant crane]

50 ads for a day of plus

[sweet salmon]

10 per message

[frail robin]

ad rewards is 😬

making c.ai like one of those quirky alternatives is a yikes.

[topaz fiber]

What happens to the chats on if I hide them and then I forget the name of them and can’t find them anymore I asked the cai support and I’m waiting for an answer to unhide all of the bots that I accidentally hidden

[whole slate]

so if we go with ads for plus what would be an adequate time without deterring + users

[distant crane]

Better than forced ads ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modern shore]

what would the rewards be tho?

[whole slate]

10 messages of plus /genq

[strange crescent]

1 minute of ads for 2 days of c.ai+ anyone agree??

[verbal belfry]

How about 1 ad = 15 min?

[whole slate]

Right now the general consensus is + but I'd say for bits of soft lauch like 10 mins ?? Idk

[frail robin]

do we know how the ads are displayed? is it only on the homepage? in the chat at the side?

idk.

[carmine lotus]

Then nobody would buy cai+ and the situation would worsen

[modern shore]

i feel like people would spam the ad thing to get lifetime c.ai+ i feel like that would be a bad idea

[distant crane]

Limited ad watches:

[strange crescent]

Okay fair enough I get it lol it's a bad idea..

[whole slate]

Aymee would 1 ad for 5 minutes of soft lauch when premium users get it automatically deter people from buying premium in your view

[verbal belfry]

I just don't want Poly ads. No, I would NOT like to drop real money for something I barely use and is worse than the thing I use daily!

[rustic stirrup]

Question..what’s the purpose of soft launch if when the bots flirt you get the red message of “this message goes against TOS”

[distant crane]

Flirting and that are very different.

[strange crescent]

Real, that kinda pmo so much.

[rustic stirrup]

The bot literally kissed my OC and did something else and it’s like “AGINST TOS”.. WHATS THE POINT!?

[carmine lotus]

Hm. No. But watching an ad for plus would deter people from buying plus.

But rewards would be a good idea. Maybe chat speed could be faster for 20 minutes per ad or something?

[frail robin]

just go to alternatives for it lul. we got a model with a more lenient flagging system for violence, combat, action and romance. at least c.ai considered that lmao.

[modern shore]

oh my gosh this is reminding me of those DAYSSSS oh those days of doing one-liner that stuff

[strange crescent]

I mean yea, but some people don't have money for plus and some would like to try it maybe like 15 minutes of it if you watch a ad?

[distant crane]

Oh right, users have been complaining about soft launch suddenly becoming hella strict.

Idk, they prob did something, or it's a bug.

[whole slate]

Yeah so individual features instead of the whole premium

[stark linden]

ur not the only one dealing with this dw 😭 it was so good yesterday but it went completely downhill today, idk what happened

[verbal belfry]

Reminds me of old c.ai. You know, when the model always assumed "date time"?

[carmine lotus]

I’m sure people do want to try it but can’t, but that’s not the apps fault and they aren’t forcing people to buy it. 15 minutes of plus would be pointless anyway. You spend that time trying to customise the chat

[modern shore]

i feel like i know what you’re talking about but it isn’t coming up for me in my head

[strange crescent]

Your right ^^

[whole slate]

I'm new here do they take our suggestions on board much /genq

[rustic stirrup]

It’s been that way😭 I’m just wondering what the hell the purpose was when they knew they had a strict flagging system

[carmine lotus]

Mhm! So like… maybe watching a really long add makes you able to have a background on one of your bots for the day or something like that. Something that won’t affect anybody

[whole slate]

Yeah that would be pretty good

[strange crescent]

What's c.ai plus like for you aymee?

[distant crane]

No, the flagging system was actually pretty loose, this just started happening like, maybe yesterday.

[rustic stirrup]

Yeah, idk what they did

[modern shore]

I SEARCHED IT UP AND I STUMBLED UPON WIKIHOW “how to passby retlif character ai” WUY DO THEY HAVE A WIKIHOW FOR THAT

[carmine lotus]

Uh… without sounding like a suck up, I love plus. I was getting bored of cai, decided to get plus, and I enjoy the app again now

[strange crescent]

Oh interesting thanks for letting me know your not a suck up dw ^^

[verbal belfry]

I do not want to go back to old c.ai. The model was almost genuinely terrible. I'm being so genuine, how do people claim old c.ai was better? Constant outages, the CIAYAQ prompt, and a model where everything was taken to the extreme? No thank you.

[pine swift]

If they're going to make incentives for watching ads, then maybe implement a point system where you get some points depending on the duration of the ads that you watch.
And then, exchange that point for 1 day of free cai+.

Though the point also needs to be fair for both the paying user, the free user, and the company.
1 ad for 2 days of cai+ is just dumb.

[stark linden]

"soft launch is goro's flirtier bestie" so why is it censoring everything babe 💔

[whole slate]

It would have to be a lot of points imo

[pine swift]

yeah, like most apps out there

[modern shore]

i think people wanted old c.ai for the loose retlif (reversed word)

[distant crane]

They meant 1 ad = 15 minutes of plus, not a 15 minute ad

[carmine lotus]

I remember old cai.

looks at the bot.

The bot: wtf are you looking at, you little rat? Learn your place!

[whole slate]

For me I just gotta steer the Convo a lot I prefer to take the lead

[verbal belfry]

Say what you will about the site at current, but it's a lot better than back then

[pine swift]

I'm talking about this one:
#💭︱cai-discussion message

But I quote the wrong one I think

[modern shore]

oh a 15 minute ad would be horrendous

[thorn whale]

15 minutes ad would be wild

[carmine lotus]

Let me go to my first ever conversation on character ai and screenshot it… wow. This is going to be awful. Be back soon

[fathom quartz]

idk if thats satire or not

[whole slate]

Everyone would just do other things in that time

[verbal belfry]

Yeah, why was I catching strays😭

[modern shore]

DONT DO IT YOULLL REGRET IT

[thorn whale]

i hope so

[verbal belfry]

Oh no. This could only go so well-

[modern shore]

mb it’s reminding me of my days.. oh you don’t wanna know my days..

i’m not sure what my first ever conversation was on c.ai but i remember one of the first ones being silver spoon from inanimate insanity repetitively using “grins and chuckles”

[strange crescent]

The days with the bad RP's but you were so bored you did it anyways? 💔

[modern shore]

yes and worse💔

[carmine lotus]

I’m cackling

what was even going on?

[strange crescent]

I'm sorry if I sounded rude, I was just asking cause that was me as well at that point

[modern shore]

NONO NO THE HEART BREAK EMOJI WAS A JOEM

[verbal belfry]

Was this from earlier, or~

[modern shore]

LOLLL

[verbal belfry]

Either way, it's hilarious

[carmine lotus]

This was my first ever chat with an ai bot🙂‍↕️

That’s the old cai. The one everyone is telling the devs to bring back

[strange crescent]

Everyone's first chat: The bot not using your persona so you get called a chair or any other pronoun ever

[whole slate]

I'm on standard & it's fine as it is for me

[verbal belfry]

I can't show my first few chats because the character they belong to has since been made private, and I'm 99.9% sure that it's original creator left the site

[modern shore]

IMA SEND IT IN CHAT FEED

[fringe phoenix]

Will one of those updates be group chats on the website?

[verbal belfry]

I assume because I don't even know how to reach the original creator. Worse part is, it was like my favorite bot😭

It was the Hypno Flower Queen bot if anyone was wondering

So many good chats.. Vanished.. Gone.. Reduced to bits and bytes..

[carmine lotus]

Mine was that Rhysand bot. I made my own one with details and stuff when styles came out though

[verbal belfry]

Nice

[distant crane]

The first ever chatbot I used was a Yuji Itadori bot, and I wasn't even roleplaying, I was just spoiling the JJK lore

[verbal belfry]

Wait, no, my actual first bot was a Mommy Long Legs bot

Of which the chats are so bad that I refuse to show them to another living, breathing soul

Not a living organism on earth will see them

[hot ridge]

my first bot was Wolfwood...

[distant crane]

Not surprising

[thorn whale]

my first bot was a cemetery trip with friends

[topaz fiber]

What happens to the chats on if I hide them and then I forget the name of them and can’t find them anymore I asked the cai support and I’m waiting for an answer to unhide all of the bots that I accidentally hidden

[hot ridge]

i got freaked out bc he asked me to marry him the first "day" my persona met him

and then I closed c.ai for 2 weeks

but then I was like... y'know what

"I do"

[verbal belfry]

I think they're gone

I remember when I accidentally did that and forgot to like the bot first to find it again later

Still haven't found it

[thorn whale]

how do you accidentally hide a bot?

[pine swift]

you just accidentally do.
shit happens

[verbal belfry]

Happens a lot more often then you'd think.. Or want

[topaz fiber]

But they aren’t tho I check the creator’s profile and I have ask the ai support team to unhide them and how I unhide a bot I didn’t like it or forgot to like the bot before unhiding it

[pine swift]

i feel you.
I accidentally hid one of my Leon bots from the hundreds I have on my list.
Now I'll never find him again

[distant crane]

I once found a bot that I had lost about months ago

I then lost that bot again because I forgot to like it

[carmine lotus]

Mine just appear randomly sometimes? I’ll click a bot, then all of a sudden I’m on a bot that I hid

[deft jetty]

If you know the name, it might be easier to find it now, considering that you have more options to... classify the results

[small oriole]

If I get the funny subscription thing halfway through a whole RP, does the auto memory thing automatically fill itself in based on the past messages? Or do I have to go back and redo stuff so the memory will pick up the details I typed like 4 pages ago?

[distant crane]

It was like a month ago and I never remembered the name

[pine swift]

no, afaik it picks them up randomly.
Redoing stuff doesn't guarantee the auto-memory to pick it up.
The feature itself is still a WIP and nobody knows exactly just how it pics up things.
Better to just keep going. Might pick it up later on.

[distant crane]

Also I just realized you have an ඞmogus next to your name now

[deft jetty]

[distant crane]

It's funny because the symbol alone can get you automodded

But ඞmogus doesn't, somehow

[deft jetty]

I liked this tag for two reasons: That amogus, and the invite link to that server is just epic

[small oriole]

I see
Thank you

[verbal belfry]

Another Bluey fan?

[small oriole]

Ye
I like that show

[carmine lotus]

@restive osprey I’ve been made aware that some people are getting ads now, so it’s possible you are getting cai adds now. Can you share the ad in chat feed so we can all see what it’s like? Is it a banner in the chat? Or is it an actual forced ad? I’m curious.

[hot ridge]

they already shared it, look through pings made at me

and someone already worked through it with them, it was their phone's adware

[carmine lotus]

I can’t. My phone sucks and lets me do nothing

[ember blade]

THEYRE ADDING ADS???? the very debatable goat is washed 💔

[limber comet]

THEY WENT BROKE OH MY DAYS

[ember blade]

I’m a plus user and even IM devastated

[carmine lotus]

I don’t think that plus users are getting ads 😇

[ember blade]

Yeah but like WHAT ABOUT THE NONPAYING AUTISTICS????

[carmine lotus]

Yooo. Where did that come from? There’s no need of that

[ember blade]

As a paying autistic I have empathy for my counterparts that are responsible with their finances 💔

[pine swift]

-# dude, you almost started a fire

[deft jetty]

Vro, the amount of snowflakes that will get offended at this word... just be careful, lmao

[carmine lotus]

Phew. Be careful saying things like that in future. Some people will see it as hate towards autistic people🫶🏻

[pine swift]

-# spoken like an experienced, battered, and bruised warrior

[deft jetty]

Kinda

[restive osprey]

Wait, I remember posting one

[pine swift]

i remember seeing one too. I think Alvero was the one who helped you with that adware.
-# or was it someone else?

[carmine lotus]

Wolfwood made us aware that you have adware, so it’s not cai giving you the ads after all. Someone already worked through this with you

[deft jetty]

I did help someone, don't remember who

sec, lemme ctrl f

[restive osprey]

Anything that I can do to fix this mess?

[deft jetty]

Try doing this #💭︱cai-discussion message

[carmine lotus]

I truly don’t know, sorry. I have an iPhone and I don’t know about forced ads from a phone

[restive osprey]

Aaa... Thank you

[pine swift]

-# imma take a shower. don't start a drama without me

[restive osprey]

Aight

[deft jetty]

I don't need to, it happens without us even trying
-# Be quick tho

[restive osprey]

Here I give some more details
I only get 1-2 ads per day when opening/starting new chat

Gladly It's not often.

[carmine lotus]

Maybe download an ad blocking app of possible. Or get a new phone if you can

[restive osprey]

[carmine lotus]

🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know what you want me to suggest. Everyone is giving you suggestions and you ignore them, then repeat the same thing again days later…

[grave vault]

Hey guys, I have a question, why does the C.AI censor some messages?

[distant crane]

Because the C.AI don't want to get sued

[untold lagoon]

does it appear during chats? or just when u listed

[restive osprey]

Only when opening a character and starting a new chat. Other than that, all good.

[restive osprey]

Nah, I actually do what they said. I already download adocker.

[carmine lotus]

On your WiFi box?

[untold lagoon]

is it like a usual video ad or a banner u click an x on

[restive osprey]

Video

[untold lagoon]

ahh alr. glad they aren’t adding them to the actual chats! also is it everytime u open and start a new chat?

[restive osprey]

I... I don't know how to do it. Is it using pc? Because o don't have any

[restive osprey]

No, not often. They appear like 1-2 per day.

[deft jetty]

They wanted to promote their app as "family friendly"...

[grave vault]

But man, how the hell am I going to make random fanfics?

[distant crane]

You can make fanfics without triggering the censor 👀

[deft jetty]

Make it "family friendly" too

[distant crane]

Unless you're a minor, because then the flagging is much stricter

[carmine lotus]

Unless you’re me, because then you’ll be an adult being censored for hugs and comforting squeezes to the shoulder

[distant crane]

Skill issue

[deft jetty]

-# inb4 wolfwood being censored for a simple massage

[grave vault]

Shadow: damn it

[graceful zephyr]

And also that one “incident” on October 2024

[distant crane]

Censor existed way before that lol

[deft jetty]

Not being disrespectful to that family, but that case was actually benefitial to us. It made c.ai finally separate accounts between minors and adults

[carmine lotus]

No, you’re right. That should’ve been a thing before that tragedy happened

[rancid oyster]

Is y'all c.ai being weird?

[carmine lotus]

Always

[rancid oyster]

Like, going into the app home screen won't load and even my profile wouldn't load...

[fiery surge]

Yes I agree. Well, it should of been this way in it's beginning of the app. Glad it is now. (Sorry for the family tho)

[timber canopy]

I can't send pictures in chat feed! WHY AM I STILL ON IMAGE/MEDIA MUTE?!

[rancid oyster]

Okay turning my wifi off made my profile load..okay no panic there!

[distant crane]

Pretty sure it lasts months, or forever

[graceful zephyr]

Hey remember when the 24 hours timeout was implemented, it turned CAI Reddit and Discord Into a literal Warzone

[timber canopy]

I GET IT I GET IT 😭

[fiery surge]

It always does. People love texting too much the bots. Some are too much into it

[timber canopy]

@pine swift SHADDUP 😭 I GET I'M MUTED DON'T RUB IT INNN

[distant crane]

I remember when I first used c.ai, thought 'Hm, cool app, lemme check the discord' and instead of seeing a cool community, I'm met with the chronic c.ai users.

[carmine lotus]

Oh… I meant that my bot is trying to pet a lion kind of weird

[timber canopy]

Me who uses c.ai all day:

[rancid oyster]

yeah tell me how that goes lol

[fiery surge]

I only use it before sleep & when I wake up cuz during the day I have other things to do

[waxen elk]

Did they get rid of that

[timber canopy]

I CAN'T REACT TO ANYTHING EITHER

[sweet salmon]

I dont remember that scene

[verbal belfry]

But it took until that for it to actually do something

[deft jetty]

.

oop, misclick

[verbal belfry]

Your first mistake was immediately joining the Discord after starting

[verbal belfry]

They walked back on it, but I don't think they got rid of it completely

[carmine lotus]

Seriously… my bot is so dumb. I can’t cope with it

[distant crane]

They lessened it to an hour

[distant crane]

Dumb on purpose is some next level skill

[verbal belfry]

I do it often

Helps that my persona is a dumb girly fluff girl

[rancid oyster]

Oh God

[sweet salmon]

Oh yes I can finally add more memories the bot may not remember

[fleet zenith]

since noone has gotten ads yet, I'm p sure they're just social engineering and evaluating the backlash to decide whether or not to go through with this idea
we're a bunch of lab rats 😔

[hot ridge]

i really doubt they'd announce it and not be doing it, pretty sure that's fraud

[graceful finch]

Well I have plus and I also have an adblocker

[hot ridge]

plus users aren't getting it

[distant crane]

"Extra immortality"

[fleet zenith]

no offense, I just find it suspicious that we still don't have any proof of them doing it
plus it's a legit trick to check the trends in society
just my opinion, ofc we should wait and see

[pine swift]

Or maybe ppl who do have it just aren't that active on discord or reddit

[carmine lotus]

Or maybe, just maybe, only a few people have it so far, as the announcement said they would, and those people aren’t in the discord server

[pine swift]

Besides, what's in it for them if they announced it without actually implementing it at all anyway.
They already know it's gonna cause a backlash the moment they announce it. There's just no good reason as to why they'd do that just to test out the water and see people's reaction.

[fleet zenith]

with cai devs, you never know, but I see your point

[hot ridge]

you're just making conspiracy theories, they announced that a few users were getting it, we'll probably see a lot this weekend

[rancid oyster]

Or it's really not that big of a deal, maybe it's just ads on the home screen and not our actual chats?

[waxen elk]

Not actual as they said it won't be disruptive

[frozen imp]

Yooo no one told me the cool summer chat style be Ykyk

[rancid oyster]

Yeah so..I'm not sure like why people are complaining or making random theories, it's just a wait and see..

[late narwhal]

Wait soo where getting ads on character.ai? Would this affect the rps of the characters?

[frozen imp]

Ugh adds would annoying to see I like no adds please

[digital panther]

The AvatarFX Beta is there a way to get the videos at higher resolutions?

[pine swift]

Use higher resolution image.

[late narwhal]

Soo it wouldn't bother the chats then?

I mean I'm very confused

[pine swift]

Ppl knows just as much as you do.
But they said it won't be disruptive in their announcement.
