[plain marsh]

Oh, I hope you get well soon!

[sweet salmon]

Oof you mentioned it

[timber canopy]

[arctic anchor]

Bro is rage baiting

[bleak venture]

[eager plover]

anyways what type of ads y'all getting (i wanna know)

[orchid owl]

Game ads

[bleak venture]

How did you know? 👉🏻👈🏻

[arctic anchor]

Thankchu

[eager plover]

Period

[midnight valley]

I dont really think thats true, ppl are going crazy and i think some of them would just say that trying to get the ads deleted

[plain marsh]

you're welcome

[arctic anchor]

I'm in your walls

[eager plover]

I got a temu and amazon ad

[noble orbit]

I do understand why they put ads, it’s just the placement of them we don’t like. I don’t wanna get an ad on every bot I click on, especially since I’m a bot creator myself. Personally I would be fine if they added it like those advertisements at the top of the screen, or maybe you can get an advertisement when you click to make a bot, or want to edit ur profile, minor things like that where not a lot of people do it constantly but a certain group of people definitely do.

[midnight valley]

Is it allowed?

[young geyser]

Probs the case, for me ive been getting streaming app ads

[bleak venture]

Oh! Well have fun in there don't cause any problems

[eager plover]

Anyways guys end of topic remove the ads the new updates are terrible btw

[daring sonnet]

We seriously need to calm down. Remember, they will listen if you give polite and civil feedback about the adverts.

Don't remove, improve! They need to be less invasive

[timber canopy]

This topic won't end unfortunately, the ad drama has been happening for almost 2 days

[tranquil rover]

They have improved* as they are now not every 2 chats
*for me

[arctic anchor]

...how about no😈✊️

[sweet salmon]

Ignore them if they're rage baiting just tag the mods

[bleak venture]

yes exactly! I also create bots and I feel like it's an inconvenience because I don't want my users to get so many ads just for clicking on a bot of all things

[young geyser]

C.ai ad war era

[arctic anchor]

[bleak venture]

Aww man, well do you like cookies then? I'll leave some on my desk for you

[timber canopy]

Honestly never seen the server be so toxic, it's worse than the reddit

[sweet salmon]

Welcome to reddit 2.0

[placid imp]

current c.ai
90% ads
5% non-relevant reccomended bot
3% c.ai+
2% f2p

[tranquil rover]

Not worst than twitter

[eager plover]

Damnn Welcome to Reddit 2.0

[timber canopy]

I try to avoid that...

[arctic anchor]

Yes please. I want chocolate chip cookies

[bleak venture]

Okie dokie!

[young geyser]

I'm not even surprised, and I'm sure the reason why is already pretty obvious

[daring sonnet]

I thought the server was nicer than the reddit. I'm disappointed

[tranquil rover]

The c.ai section isn't

[eager plover]

People bringing up fake rumors Abt p**n ads shows they want to get it wrapped up (home)

[timber canopy]

Same! The reddit is looking like a field full of daisys compared to this

[arctic anchor]

Real lmaooo ads are annoying af but i wish they would like make it so it's not so annoying??? I'm not demanding they like get rid of them(which they won't) but they could at least tone em down a lil

[eager plover]

Girl it's a c.ai server what makes u think this place Gon be nice and jolly..

[bleak venture]

Most chats other then this have the nice people but this is a war zone

[midnight valley]

I think that if they want to put ads, for me its okay, but maybe the ads could be like 5 seconds one, or maybe just ad that appears and you can close it instantly

[timber canopy]

There were legitimate ss posted on the reddit of the ads, they are real but I think it's ads for other ai apps

[eager plover]

Weren't u taking ur leave girl

[noble orbit]

Exactly. I also follow a lot of other good creators and that would be so annoying if I’m trying to see what their bots are like and all of a sudden I get an ad that’s like ‘save this random guy before he falls out of the world and dies, if you don’t you’re a bad person😡’

[bleak venture]

As a joke of course

[sweet salmon]

Twitter got worse after it got rebranded to X

[placid imp]

you havent see this server when c.ai down

[eager plover]

Chow, mine is a minute...wrap it up

[tranquil rover]

It got worse in general

[versed thicket]

If it's true, then a screenshot of it would be posted everywhere.

But we haven't seen any reports of it. So I'd say cap for now.

[daring sonnet]

I have, it's quite.. interesting lol

[bleak venture]

I get temu ads so it's not as bad for me

[timber canopy]

At least it's not toxic when the app is down

[eager plover]

Or maybe it's true but hey, show solid proof

[noble orbit]

People here are meanies

[daring sonnet]

Everyone, should look at this..

https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1396015568028565635

[midnight valley]

Yeah, people may say they have gotten innapropiate ads just to try to get them deleted

[timber canopy]

I do think those ads may have stopped as this when when they were rolling out to more people like last week

[heavy terrace]

Before they got deleted, mod will see that. And lvci literally said they dont see it. Read?

[young geyser]

Baffles me how theyd try to make up things over this whole ad thing

[versed thicket]

People literally post about everything. How is something like that not getting posted then?

[eager plover]

Yeah

They might be inappropriate ads they might be appropriate, as long they are ads

[midnight valley]

I dont really like that idea, i feel like it would be even more invasive, but im glad that user was explaining it in a kind way and not just being mad

[low hare]

Let's rebel.

[orchid owl]

Keyword: may

[midnight valley]

No, I meant that people are making it up.

[noble orbit]

Yk I never thought c.AI would have adverts like this. I thought that they might’ve added a dumbass feature where like bot creators could promote their bots in small ads but only for c.ai+ bc they hate us broke folk

[timber canopy]

I think the inappropriate ads are just people being dramatic, I've seen people get ads for other chat bot apps that do seem to be flirty ads, but nothing inappropriate they just feel like ads for that episode game

[hot ember]

These ads are annoying bc why aren’t they kinda placed like on Pinterest so that they don’t annoy you

[timber canopy]

Pinterest ads are WAY WORSE

[daring sonnet]

Some people unfortunately find that method "invasive" So, I also suggested one where the adverts appear after at least 30 minutes

[plain marsh]

LOVE THE PFP!

[hot ember]

But they at least you can avoid clicking on them

[tranquil rover]

Honestly, if they sit in the home page and don't affect much else, it's better than what we have

[midnight valley]

Yeah, i feel like if they added that on c.ai it would be more invassive, imo

[plain marsh]

i always pop out of nowhere lmao

[versed thicket]

like this ? https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1396015568028565635

[timber canopy]

I agree but Pinterest is like a wasps nest for ads, so many people complain about Pinterest ads

[eager plover]

Pinterest got ads? Mine ain't

[heavy terrace]

Finally someone agree with me. The dev said not to make it invasive and their suggestions are literally being invasive.

[midnight valley]

Is what I said understandable? Enlgish isnt my 1st language lmao

[plain marsh]

yesss they got adorble puppy robot adds for me, I LOVE IT. I even bought the two, and even though they arent like the add. THEY ARE STILL ADORBLE

[daring sonnet]

If some find Pinterest invasive that's why I also suggested one where advert happen every 30 minutes.

[weary niche]

YES

[hot ember]

Yea!!

[tranquil rover]

I don't use pinterest so I never saw their ad layout

[orchid owl]

Yeah it is, dw

[timber canopy]

I like the idea of ads on the home page, but if they're as frequent as Pinterest ads then more people will just complain

[midnight valley]

Tyy

[orchid owl]

Dont worryy

[daring sonnet]

We simply need a community poll on what alternative of adverts is best. Solution to everything.

[orchid owl]

True, we should discuss it as a community

[tranquil rover]

If we can see how it looks, that'd be even better

[plain marsh]

omg slay! Facts!

[bleak venture]

My idea is perfect.

[shadow roost]

They never cared about that ngl

[steep lark]

GUYS THE ADS ARE GONE??

[rustic zenith]

they seem to be on and off, sometimes i get them, sometimes i dont

[steep lark]

well i'm hoping they stay gone smh😭

[noble orbit]

I think so too bc I was getting them sooo much last night and this morning I haven’t gotten one

[orchid owl]

I can see

[tranquil rover]

As far as I'm aware, no. It's probably just no ads loading

[orchid owl]

ARE U FOR REAL

[tranquil rover]

No, I got an ad less than a minute ago

[steep lark]

I THINK SO, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ADD FOR THE PAST HOUR

[noble orbit]

I’m just special☺️ (pls no jinx😕)

[orchid owl]

Me too

[dusty nimbus]

Ok people. Can you get rid of the ads or not?

[tranquil rover]

No

[dusty nimbus]

Fuck

[noble orbit]

Not

[tranquil rover]

I mean, unless you pay for c.ai+

[peak blaze]

i deleted mine💀

[orchid owl]

I mean whatever makes ur app run🥀✌️

[weary niche]

If the ads are banner they would get more money, no? Bcs it will be there all the time??? Idk..

[noble orbit]

That shit is $70 for me

[dusty nimbus]

What? It doesn't say you don't get ads with c.ai+

[midnight valley]

Girl

[tranquil rover]

It's implied.

[dusty nimbus]

What?

[noble orbit]

They might implement it sooner or later

[stark tartan]

wait why is #🧐︱learn-english locked

[orchid owl]

Someoen wirh cai+ told us she got 3 ads or more

[midnight valley]

I dont think u should/can swear

[rustic zenith]

but you pay for the app w c.ai+.. why would you get ads :( thats actually crazy

[tranquil rover]

Weird, most C.ai+ users admit that ads did not show up for them.

[dusty nimbus]

Well my freaking bad!

[gray ice]

There are no ads for +

[orchid owl]

I will pull it up give me a minute?

[sweet salmon]

There's no ads for caiplus

[midnight valley]

._.

[dusty nimbus]

Just trying to figure out what the heck is happening with c.ai

[tranquil rover]

C.ai is trying to exist

[gray ice]

They are just trying to Keep the App free

[midnight valley]

There are ads, the World isnt gonna end

[gray ice]

THIS

[heavy terrace]

Yes. And to be honest? Polls doesnt matter if the devs decide its not good for their end. You can have 20k upvote, but the devs are the one decide that. And cai dev literally said, the goal is not to make it invasive, which the opposite of what they suggest

[fallow hinge]

The ads aren't actually that frequent !

[versed thicket]

NO@! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!

[tranquil rover]

You deal with them on youtube, you can deal with them here.

[versed thicket]

[dusty nimbus]

No. But they haven't had ads at all and now they are just every fucking second?!

[midnight valley]

LMAO WHAT

[gray ice]

Bro is just lurking and having fun

[carmine idol]

okay but we don't need ads everywhere like what

[sweet salmon]

Oh no ads

I better pack my survival gear 😎

[midnight valley]

@versed thicket

[fallow hinge]

Not really??? Just every time you click a chat/restart !!!

[tranquil rover]

We should totally do this

[zinc birch]

Yes every second of your life from now on is going to be an ad 😈 /j

[orchid owl]

Cant find it i give up

[dire berry]

Mods, we got a rage baiter here

[fallow hinge]

But even then, they really don't guarantee a pop-up !

[versed thicket]

me when I lie

[gray ice]

on YouTube There are also ads…so guys calm down

[dusty nimbus]

What the hell is your problem?

[rustic zenith]

they are for me, because im picky & i go through a lot of characters- so i get ads 2x a minute sometimes when the bots r really bad, every time you switch a bot is a little too many ads (im not complaining that much btw i get why they do it)

[sweet salmon]

If someone is rage baiting just ignore and tag the mods

[midnight valley]

Im sorry, you've been swearing and also being disrespectful

[dusty nimbus]

EXACTLY!

[dusty nimbus]

So have you bro

[carmine idol]

can we not swear or something??

[fallow hinge]

Oh! Well that makes sense <3 . I'm not that picky so I was only saying it from my point of view!

[versed thicket]

Tell this to my children

[eager plover]

Are u ragebaiting?

[tranquil rover]

No, welcome to life

[sweet salmon]

They are

[gray ice]

Guys why are you thinking the world is ending because of ads…what the

[dusty nimbus]

My bad for just asking questions

[noble orbit]

My tummy is growling

[gray ice]

LMAO

[timber canopy]

Hi

[rustic zenith]

yea all of us have different povs! just chiming in because obviously if you go on the app for just one or two bots then there arent that many ads

[fallow hinge]

Go eat then !!! Nothing is wrong with that :D

[midnight valley]

I think i didnt, but if i offended someone, im sorry and i didnt really mean it, but yours is excessive, you're saying curse words and getting angry

[timber canopy]

I made my fav vtuber into a bot lol cuz i luv ehr

[orchid owl]

Lowkey i fw you as a dad twin❤️🌹

[eager plover]

wrap it up it's just annoying in a roleplaying app everyone adores, for u it ain't srs but sum other people..it is

[dusty nimbus]

It's not the end of the world to curse

[gray ice]

Nothing Beats a Jet2Holiday!!!

[timber canopy]

Xd

I tried bringing up my idea of paying £3 a month for no ads but people aren't seeing the reasoning

[zinc birch]

it lends a new meaning to adpocalypse

[midnight valley]

I think rule 4 is about being respectful, correct me if im wrong

[fallow hinge]

Fair, fair. Well, I hope the ads get less guaranteed for you !! <3

[noble orbit]

That’s just how some people talk tbh. You would not be to thrilled to see how people in my country talk

[rustic zenith]

i would lowkey pay this but idk if i like it being monthly, maybe more expensive but a one time payment

[dusty nimbus]

I am being respectful. I'm not calling anybody anything! I'm just trying to figure out why they did this

[timber canopy]

I would love a one time payment but I don't think it'd be good for the company so I was told by someone

[gray ice]

GUYS JUST CALM DOWN

[midnight valley]

I swear with my friends and that, i just think ppl shouldnt do that if one of the rules is against it

[tranquil rover]

Welcome to life

[noble orbit]

I just got jump scared that was so loud

[dusty nimbus]

You see where I'm coming from no?

[tranquil rover]

Well, this is more like hell, but that's also life

[rustic zenith]

yeah maybe not. idk which one would attract more people though. i feel a lot more would pay one-time than subscribe since barely anyone has c.ai+ anyway

[fallow hinge]

Just relax, let them sort it out themselves, it's okay !! If you need to, you can step away and mute this server if you need to!!

[versed thicket]

You can read about it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterAI/comments/1kkz2qm/announcement_updates_to_keep_cai_running_smoothly/

[midnight valley]

i didnt know being respectful means getting angry about some ads, sorry. I dont wanna argue so ok girl

[timber canopy]

One time would be the best for users, monthly would be the best for the company

[zinc birch]

wow, so much savings!!

[dusty nimbus]

Omg yall don't get it

[ruby ginkgo]

why are there ads now ?

[noble orbit]

Can they just fix the placement

[timber canopy]

Hey Lvcifer! I was wondering if I could please tell you here or dm you about my suggestion for the ads? Is that okay?

[rustic zenith]

company needs money, running the servers is expensive & stuff

[ruby ginkgo]

Makes sense

[sweet salmon]

Yeah ai and service ain't cheap

[midnight valley]

Everyone is getting ads, they're annoying, yes, but its just some 15 second ad (or a 1 minute temu ad). U watch ads everywhere, its not that bad <3

[gray ice]

THIS

[rustic zenith]

are people actually upset about the ads being in the app or that they're like intrusive? im curious about how many just hate the presence of ads

[sweet salmon]

You're the one who isn't getting it

Like it or not running a business is not a walk in the park

[tranquil rover]

I get intrusive, but not about ads being in the app

[gray ice]

On other Apps there are also ads so calm down

[timber canopy]

Does anyone wanna help me w character advanced lol

[marble harbor]

Am i the only one who’s proposed characters are absolutely not the ones i usually talk to ?

[tranquil rover]

Wrong time

[mighty bloom]

Getting ads everytime I click on a bot is insufferable

[worn snow]

We also hate ads on the other apps☹️

[coral oasis]

I can't delete old chats, anyone else?

[midnight valley]

Both, some ppl are just extremely angry about just some ads

[timber canopy]

Wym

[gray ice]

But You accept it there…so why not here

[rustic zenith]

this stuff has happened for like forever 😭 it recently happened again for me

[tranquil rover]

Read any of this conversation and you'll get why no one will help you rn

[sweet salmon]

Considering how ads are very the norm of mobile ads etc

[midnight valley]

Well, its just a short ad, the world isnt gonna end, imo

[rustic zenith]

waves, i can try

[worn snow]

I do not accept that either ☹️

[mighty bloom]

Its about like a minute for me not 15secs

[timber canopy]

How to turn off ads

[sweet salmon]

They can't part ways with their bots

[gray ice]

buy +

[minor plover]

Y’all lucky they ain’t doing how YouTube does ads (Hours of unskippable ads at times)

[tranquil rover]

Pay for +

[mighty bloom]

Get cai+

[timber canopy]

Hmm sure?

[midnight valley]

Well, its the same, you watch ads everywhere, apps, yt, tv...

[steep lark]

nvm ads are back for me🙄

[tranquil rover]

I have not seen a YouTube ad for 17 videos

[gray ice]

DARLING HOLD MY HAND

Nothing Beats c.ai + and right now You Can get it for 10 Dollars per month!

[mighty bloom]

Its not the same with the app which didnt have adds for years now and actually talked about it proudly

[iron bobcat]

I can understand people being annoyed at ads and such because character ai in that context earns money from content users created for free, but at the same time servers and ai isn't free

[noble orbit]

I stopped getting YouTube ads a few years ago

[tranquil rover]

Youtube and their ads is weird

[gray ice]

I got not ads because of premium

[tranquil rover]

I don't because I'm broke

[noble orbit]

I got not ads too

[iron bobcat]

There should be like a 2 dollar subscription just so you can get rid of the ads I think

[timber canopy]

Does premium make a diff in bot behaviour?

[midnight valley]

Yeah, but u can use the web (i think there arent ads), buy c.ai+, use another ai app, there are lots of options

[sweet salmon]

I stopped premium for awhile expensive to keep caiplus and YouTube premium

[gray ice]

BRO I AM GERMAN MY KEYBOARD IS DOING AUTO CORRECT

[timber canopy]

Theres no ads wym

[tranquil rover]

Yes and no

[rustic zenith]

there was smth about better memory? and cai+ makes them faster as well i think

[sweet salmon]

I had to spend over 40 dollars a month to keep both

[noble orbit]

HELP😭😭

[gray ice]

• changes everything

[gray ice]

NEIN!

[rustic zenith]

i wouldnt know, im a free user

[noble orbit]

• is like $70 where I’m from which it isn’t that bad but to pay it every month is not it

[iron bobcat]

The moment + came out I immediately bought it so I don't know how it works without it

[mighty bloom]

economy isnt good in every country yk cai+ is 300+ for me and other ai apps have adds too, thats what made cai better from them too

[midnight valley]

Its pretty good imo

[tranquil rover]

• gives access to more or early features

[rustic zenith]

oh :(

[gray ice]

And phone calls

[midnight valley]

Well, from now, an option is using the website

[tranquil rover]

What

[timber canopy]

Too expensibe tho 50 my currency a month they trippin

[noble orbit]

I’m on the toilet rn if anyone’s wondering

[normal wagon]

Personally, I'm surviving fine being free. I mean, they're kinda slow and annoying to an unreasonable degree sometimes, but still.

[iron bobcat]

I don't like the image generation due to how much it affects the planet

[gray ice]

You Can do the calls with +

[timber canopy]

Since when u can call in character ai lmao

[tranquil rover]

Wdym by calls?

[midnight valley]

LMAO

[rustic zenith]

gn i cant even find where to check how much it is

[timber canopy]

Gn

[gray ice]

You Can Call the bots

[mighty bloom]

Website on mobile ui sucks and pretty hard to use. Im not going on pc just to chat with some bots

[sweet salmon]

Call using speech to text

[tranquil rover]

I could always do that

[worn snow]

We listen we don’t judge ok guys🙌
Having to buy cai+ not because you want to support the developers but because the free version of the app becomes more and more unusable is just sad

[tranquil rover]

I'm going to judge you for complaing about ads

[iron bobcat]

You polish?

[midnight valley]

Imo its the same as the app, and u dont need to use a pc to use it

[rustic zenith]

as a free user, since when was it unusable
like its been just fine for me since.... eh. forever

[sweet salmon]

Like this but it's caiplus feature nown

[heavy terrace]

Eli.. There are way much more things worse than Ai generating picture, that consume tons of gallon of water, daily.

[rustic zenith]

calls used to terrify me 😭

[timber canopy]

Is 3000 letter engough for a character

[midnight valley]

If u turn ur browser to desktop mode or computer mode u can use the web

[worn snow]

Oh no, the horror

[noble orbit]

I feel like they should just listen to their users—not the ragers, the actual sensible and reasonable users

[tranquil rover]

I can use it just fine?

[sweet salmon]

They made calls caiplus feature

[noble orbit]

We understand why they implemented ads, is just the placement that’s making ppl upset

[rustic zenith]

14$ for cai+.. i'll live with my ads

[sweet salmon]

It's not free anymore btw it used to be free

[tranquil rover]

I have no idea what you're talking about

[iron bobcat]

I know I meant that generating pictures consumes way more than text and thats why I personally dislike, I'm not saying you shouldn't use it if you want to

[daring sonnet]

Everyone, look at this..

https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1396015568028565635

[midnight valley]

I can still call, and my app is updated cuz i have ads

[rustic zenith]

not another temu ad im going to freak out

[tranquil rover]

It's still free as far as I can see.

[timber canopy]

U dont get any ads by using opera gx

[rustic zenith]

give me something fun and creative ‼️

[tranquil rover]

You don't get ads on web I believe

[dire berry]

Why are you spamming the same thing?

[sweet salmon]

It hasn't rolled out to everyone yet

[timber canopy]

Rgeres free ad bloceker on opera

[balmy gust]

No you don't on the website

[tranquil rover]

I just said that

[heavy terrace]

No. Industries and factories consumes way more water. Data centers too. Netflix. Social medias. We should not use all that, if that is your point

[daring sonnet]

Trying to ensure it gets attention but I'll stop since it seems to be disrupting here now that you took notice. Thank you for the criticism!

[tranquil rover]

Why are you talking about this in here

[gray ice]

What

[dusky hare]

Unsure if it’s just my ancient device. But is anyone’s character ai slow or not loading?

[sweet salmon]

Eww take that to general chat

[daring sonnet]

so.. Idk how this is related to the discussion lol!

[zinc birch]

don't park your car in the bathroom

[noble orbit]

I didn’t know that

[normal wagon]

Did we need to know that though

[tranquil rover]

It usually will slow down after long usage, based on my experience

[dusky hare]

Alr

[sweet salmon]

I didn't know the bathroom became a garage

[timber canopy]

Does DNS work

[tranquil rover]

Close it and reopen it, it's cache taking up memory

If you're on web, then just open it in another tab. By this I mean when you chat with a bot, open it in a new tab so cache is not built up, it does mean bots will be slower to re-open

[iron bobcat]

I think they should take responsibility and be more open about that fact

[tranquil rover]

I feel like I should state, close the tab when you're done*

[timber canopy]

I have a version of character ai that doesnt have ads without c.ai plus lol im not updating

[golden seal]

Why the fuck do I keep getting Russian or Spanish bots in my recommendations when I hasn't even done a single chat with other than eng bots

[timber canopy]

Nvm theres adds on mobile

[tranquil rover]

Recommendation ignores language

[golden seal]

that's so stupid

[timber canopy]

What a shiters

[heavy terrace]

Lmao Violini, your reaction

[timber canopy]

I have DNS adguard

The person who puted adds on mobile loser

[tranquil rover]

Not really, it's looking for similar bots

[sweet salmon]

So you're calling the app developers losers wow real mature

If you hate ads there's the door 🚪

[timber canopy]

Ads are stupid ppl pay for the app alrdy

[golden seal]

It is stupid, what's the point of recommendations if i dont understand the language of the bots that it recommend

[iron bobcat]

Like I know it's too integrated into our lives to just cut off.

[golden seal]

app and c.ai is free btw

[stoic pulsar]

good afternoon everyone
how are y'all doing ?

[sweet salmon]

Okay then Sherlock how are they going to make money

[tranquil rover]

Terrible

[sweet salmon]

If you cant answer that then don't bother

[stoic pulsar]

cause of the update ?

[timber canopy]

Theres better ones w out ads ngl

[tranquil rover]

I'm stuck in hell called discord

[golden seal]

Then.. go there? Why are you here.

[timber canopy]

You can use private dns

[stoic pulsar]

maybe change your pfp, that's a reasonable first step

[rustic zenith]

-# share with the class?

[tranquil rover]

I honestly changed it back

[stoic pulsar]

i need to ask
what are y'all expectations for next week's bot update ?

[tranquil rover]

I know nothing about it

[golden seal]

I don't expect anything

[heavy terrace]

There is a bot update?

[sweet salmon]

?

[random sigil]

Everyone hating on ads, and here i am, using website and only now realizing they added ads in app since i didn't got any on website

[stoic pulsar]

yeah, there's a new model coming out

[tranquil rover]

What type

[golden seal]

I don't think you can add ads directly on website as in regular way, like mobile games

[stoic pulsar]

apparently dedicated for roleplaying, i assume it's deisgned for lore-heavy characters

[heavy terrace]

Oh yeah, lol. I knew that two weeks ago lel

[tranquil rover]

You can, it's called inserting video pop-ups

[random sigil]

Yeah, that's why i only now realized there are some ads on c.ai since i always use website

[heavy terrace]

Yeay, cooldown is 15 seconds again

[golden seal]

then neat they hasn't added it to website, I'm staying away from app despite being mobile user

[daring sonnet]

Display name checks out?

[sweet salmon]

Should be 1 minute

[tranquil rover]

I would swap to web, but I can't log in on my laptop so I have to wait

[rustic zenith]

why /gen

[heavy terrace]

Spoiler alert, available for cai+ only lel

[tranquil rover]

Damn it

[stoic pulsar]

you sure about that ?

[viscid trench]

Why does my character keep sending me away message when I already turned it off 😭

[random sigil]

🦅

[sweet salmon]

Nyan is only for caiplus

[raven lodge]

[tranquil rover]

We get nothing good

[daring sonnet]

Is that true? Just curious

[viscid trench]

Or do I have to pay $25 to actually turn it off?

[stoic pulsar]

hm... what about the increased memory promise ? is that for this month's update or august's ?

[sweet salmon]

There's nothing of that said

[tranquil rover]

Could you forward it?

[heavy terrace]

No idea. But I assume new model have the increased memory and length, looking at how Nyan get tweak in the past few days.

[golden seal]

no shit

[daring sonnet]

Hold up. Can I DM about something real quick?

[golden seal]

that's why you shouldn't expect anything from c.ai updates 🥀

[heavy terrace]

Plus chat stay in plus. Sorry gang. I only can say it because Marie announce it at announcement channel

[heavy terrace]

No. You annoyed me to death.

[stoic pulsar]

right
but i was refering to increased memory in the pinned messages department and the chracter definition limit
15 pins and 3200 characters to describe the bots is pathetically low

[daring sonnet]

I'm very sorry if I was rude to you 😔

[golden seal]

The ratio of reactions in #📣︱announcements is crazy

[sweet salmon]

Not surprised

[stoic pulsar]

for those who wish to see the pinned messages increase from the current 15: please upvote this post : https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1392467510921662504

[timber canopy]

DNS work for me oop

[heavy terrace]

Cai+ have 30 pins tho? And higher persona. And bots can remember around 25 current messages. And with the new model, its gonna be so good. Some plus user said bot remember the definition way past 3200 when Nyan getting tweak

[timber canopy]

Try using adguard

[heavy terrace]

Dont care

[stoic pulsar]

i guess we'll have more conext in next week's announcement
let's just hope they don't jinx it

[devout field]

Guys what the helly is this run-on sentence I’m bawling my eyes out

[small pewter]

I just opened a NFS Carbon character and it jumpscared me with an ad

[golden seal]

[lunar raptor]

grrr!! Why is the recommended on for you humans now!1!!! I wanted furries!1!1!

[sweet salmon]

[small pewter]

The FYP isn’t for us anymore 😔

[fiery zenith]

I had a brain tumor reading this

[plain mango]

Do the ads go away w c.ai+?

[devout field]

Ikr

[timber canopy]

Why don’t i have the Ads?

[stable dagger]

Is it me or are ppl overreacting abt the ads💔 they dont even show up midchat, only when u chat w/ new bots

[devout field]

I sure fricking hope so

[golden seal]

thou has been blessed

[small pewter]

Midchat isn’t the problem for me it’s when you accidentally open a character and it shows it to you

[plain mango]

They make me feel like I’m playing one of those ad games that aren’t even the actual gameplay

[sweet salmon]

People get bored with the bots they talk to and they open new ones

[timber canopy]

Yeah

[stable dagger]

Oohh, u could just reopen the app or get an ad blocker!!

[lime harness]

immediately uninstalling after i got hit by the first ads. site only from now on 💀

[golden seal]

makes searching for new bots a nightmare since you can't view greeting before opening the chat

[stable dagger]

Its only a couple seconds of an ad, + u could js use the website if ur bot hunting

[small pewter]

Fair but it’s also proof that the old c.ai is gone 😔

[sweet forge]

I’m so happy I’m the favorite and haven’t gotten an ad

[stable dagger]

Its been gone for a while💔

[lunar raptor]

CRUCIFY THE WITCH!

[small pewter]

It’s nothing but corporate capitalization for everyone atp and they barely listen for what we have to say abt the app-

[stoic pulsar]

if next week's announcement doesn't adress increased memory for the character definitions, then i might leave c.ai for good honestly

[sweet forge]

NOT AGAIN

[stable dagger]

Is the memory thing any good? I never used it

[small pewter]

I’m already migrating bc of the ads bc I thought c.AI would never show ads 😭

[sweet salmon]

Okay bye

[heavy terrace]

Leave now. Because I dont think the announcement is about character's definition.

[stable dagger]

U could use thr website if u dislike ads!! ^^

[stoic pulsar]

what are better options though ?
fictionlab.ai offers a lot of amazing features
but their free models are awful

[small pewter]

True and I do use it every now and then

[sweet salmon]

You really think definition is top priority

[timber canopy]

You can use dns adguard too it works for mee

[golden seal]

This concept might come as a shock, but you know, there's something called switching hobby or way to spend free time
maybe doing something u like or playing games

[stoic pulsar]

nah, i use those ais to run some very specific simulations, it's not a 'hobby' for me

[golden seal]

What are you, a cartoony villain using ai to see how their plans will go 😭

[stoic pulsar]

haha, not quite

[golden seal]

or you're checking if your application for job will do

[stoic pulsar]

keep your sarcasm to yourself

[heavy terrace]

Oh boy. Cai discussion gonna filled in later with 'Why I dont have this features?!' when they have adguard, private DNS, VPN, ad blck on

[daring sonnet]

I don't use definitions.. always thought it took up a lot more of the characters memory and made them act a little weirder. At least for my experience

[golden seal]

if it's not hobby then what is c.ai for you

[stoic pulsar]

i already answered your question, i don't owe you any further details

[golden seal]

💀

[cyan meadow]

Yall how am I supposed to send my Art in #🎨︱art

[dire berry]

It's locked right now.

[lunar raptor]

Wait why

[cyan meadow]

Why would they lock it 😔

[heavy terrace]

Chaos

[golden seal]

cuz people.are going ballistic

over the recent update (ads addition)

[cyan meadow]

Bru

[lunar raptor]

People truly hate the ads🥀💔

[daring sonnet]

Memes, pets and food are locked too

[small pewter]

I deleted the app 😭

[cyan meadow]

WHAT DOES PETS AND FOOD HAVE TO DO WITH THE ADS THING..

[golden seal]

idk what they expected adding adds to an add-free app for several years with over 500k members on discord

[stable dagger]

lwk at a certain point i jst stopped updating c.ai until it randomly forces me to (before ai voices/calls were even implemented)

[daring sonnet]

This situation seems to be getting a little calmer.. for now

[sweet salmon]

Okay and?

[small pewter]

It’s the chat perms not the app

[cyan meadow]

Literally but why would Pets and food have to be locked

[small pewter]

Idk I feel free ig

[zinc birch]

some users, when they get cranky, post bad stuff

[small pewter]

That is kinda likely

[zinc birch]

It has happened before

[daring sonnet]

This was all an entire mess. We should all start apologizing to the moderators, and developers, and give polite and calm feedback that isn't aggressive, and is constructive.

[sweet salmon]

Not everyone is capable of that

[cyan meadow]

True

[sweet salmon]

It's like trying to calm down a bull when it sees red color

[small pewter]

And some wouldn’t really mean it and just do so bc they wanna repeat their mistakes

[plain marsh]

I heard that is a myth, no offense

[daring sonnet]

Idk.. Bulls don't actually hate the color red. Not joking. This myth is still widely believed though.

More like trying to calm down a bunch of scared stampeding wildebeests.

[small pewter]

Smth about the red cloth moving and not the color itself from what I heard

[heavy terrace]

Because people can chat in chat feed. Chat feed is image share channel, so to avoid that, they need to close it. Hence why they close all channels that can send image

[ruby ginkgo]

I lowkey dont care for them bc it’s literally a fifteen second ad that (for me) rarely comes up

[small pewter]

I just hate ads no matter the context bc they’re everywhere for me and I don’t wanna see it 24/7 in my life

[rustic zenith]

use the website

[small pewter]

Starting today I’ll only use the website

I miss the old delete system it was so much easier to use 😔

[daring sonnet]

Same!

[small pewter]

I talked about it to my CS teacher bc it was about user convenience and he also agreed it was a mistake to add the “rewind to” and “remove” options as separate delete systems-

[daring sonnet]

This chat has become so.. calm

I hope it stays like that

[rustic zenith]

rewind is honestly fine imo

it took a little getting used to though

[small pewter]

True it does come in handy sometimes but it gets complicated sometimes when you just want to delete a huge chunk of text between what you want to save

These patterns make the delete system a bit powerless
[large amt of text you wanna delete]
[text you wanna save]
[large amt of text you wanna delete]

[heavy terrace]

Its convenient that way. Same purpose. Remove can delete message individually. Rewind, it vanish the whole messages from where you choose

[vague lagoon]

I just leave my app open and the chat open in the background and boom no ads unless I want to switch ai chat bots

[daring sonnet]

They should add rewind to group chatrooms, who's with me?

[plain marsh]

Me!

[torn ruin]

I like rewind to here so much

[heavy terrace]

insert Dream On song

[heavy terrace]

Same

[median jackal]

Does anyone know how frequent the ads pop up?

[daring sonnet]

I really want rewind in group chatrooms. And start new chat from here!

[plain marsh]

for me it's everytime i open a bot. I haven't had adds otherwise imma pray it stays that way

[plain marsh]

Yess queen! You tell em

[gaunt sphinx]

HIII

🖕 the new c.ai

[daring sonnet]

https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1396099041401770114

How is everyone doing right now that the chaos is over?

[median jackal]

Alright. Sending more hate won’t solve the problem. Let’s just hope they will address the concerns and everyone can move forward from this.

[sweet salmon]

I'm waiting for round 3 on the chaos

[daring sonnet]

No thanks

[sweet salmon]

Well it will happen anyways later

[daring sonnet]

Let's not let it become a thing.

[plain marsh]

Just wait till US is awake

[sweet salmon]

Well tell that to the people always whining about ads

[median jackal]

I don’t like ads either, but they are only temporary. And usually if you aren’t watching for a reward, you’re able to skip them pretty easily.

[modern swan]

US is slowly waking up... im up

[daring sonnet]

Hi again!!

[heavy terrace]

They deleted GC feedback channel. Im pretty sure GC feature is abandoned now

[median jackal]

Wait really? That’s so sad. 😭

[daring sonnet]

You can post feature requests for them in the feature requests channel though.

[plain marsh]

well this tells me everything I need to know about the future choas about to unfold lol

[sweet salmon]

It's pointless if you can't add real people in group chats

[lilac fulcrum]

c.ai peaked last year

[sly dagger]

Ads🥀

[daring sonnet]

I was wondering. I know that group chatrooms on the website are a test, right? I've seen someone get tested for them.

Maybe I can request my account to get tested?? Idk

[plain marsh]

I mean...you can try? I wish you all luck!

[gaunt sphinx]

French?

I hate c.ai or maybe the creator

[sly dagger]

What french?

[sweet salmon]

Yet you're here

[gaunt sphinx]

🇫🇷 the country

[sly dagger]

I'm not

[marble acorn]

DID C.AI ADD ADS??

[daring sonnet]

Don't start it

[plain marsh]

yesss

[sweet salmon]

Here we go

[orchid owl]

O

[daring sonnet]

I facepalm

[plain marsh]

round three, fight!

[marble acorn]

[orchid owl]

Its just a question chill out

[modern swan]

Does anyone live in England or UK and see the big thing falling in the sky 8 hours ago

[drifting crane]

Hi fam

[sweet salmon]

Repeated questions are an annoying question

[heavy terrace]

What big thing? Meteor?

[hasty portal]

Wsp guys hru doing

[modern swan]

idk what it was. i was an insta story of it

[dusty cave]

c-c-can I ask you a question?

[plain marsh]

true...but not everyone was awake when the adds we're added, so now it probably going to restart

[marble acorn]

how often does this ad thing occur

[hasty portal]

Nah, i live in poland. And i didnt see anything maybe cause i stayed home all night icl

[plain marsh]

probably for awhile still😭

[hasty portal]

Why does it look like sp3rm

[drifting crane]

I guess it's racing

[sweet salmon]

Ikr

[indigo plank]

D-d-do you promise n-n-not to laugh?

[modern swan]

that was my first thought too and i thought he was being a smartass

[hasty portal]

It aint gonna find no womb im the air💔

[zinc birch]

Yes

[hasty portal]

asks something that wouldnt fit the character at all

[young flower]

#💭︱cai-discussion

[hasty portal]

Yeah this is cai discussion.

[zinc birch]

I guess not. Let's see if there's a better crustacean

[craggy stag]

Guys does my phone have a virus or does cai have ads

[hasty portal]

Here we go again istg

[raven falcon]

has ads sadly

[craggy stag]

Oh 😭

[delicate carbon]

Nah its a digital halucination/j

[raven falcon]

everyone freaked out abt them tho. like yeah they’re annoying but they stated why they added them

[indigo plank]

Your bio reminded me about my 5 day reddit streak

[hasty portal]

The ads arent that bad. Sure they are a slight annoyance but like. C.ai isnt the only app that has ads yknow...

[raven falcon]

exactly

[delicate carbon]

Yea

[indigo plank]

That's what im saying

[craggy stag]

Yeah but not having it for almost 3 years then suddenly adding them made me question lmao 😥

[indigo plank]

They announced it in advance, soo

[hasty portal]

I've been only getting 5-10 second ads. Thats not even that long. Unless you have the attention span of a goldfish that is. Did y'all see how many people made it such a huge thing yesterday?

[deft jetty]

Good to see that things finally calmed down here and people are finally starting to realize its importance

[raven falcon]

literally! everyone was freaking out, trying to be mean to devs, trying to change how the ads appear

[pine swift]

you're jinxing this channel, Al

[hasty portal]

The ads didnt really bother me in the first place lol. People that made this look like the end of the world pissed me off

[craggy stag]

I just joined the disc to see if it was my phone tweaking or not lmao, didn't get the announcement cause I don't follow them anywhere

[daring sonnet]

Hi Alvero!!

Me too, I'm also happy. People are starting to give POLITE and calm feedback

[indigo plank]

I just ate the saltiest chip in my life, help

[torn wharf]

Oh finally the crazy people are offline

[summer creek]

haven’t gotten any of them this far, when do they pop up?

[indigo plank]

lol, totally fine

[hasty portal]

When you pick a bot to chat with

[sand shadow]

UWU SENPAI

[summer creek]

oh if it’s just that then it’s fine

how does that even bother people… only if you constantly switch chats ig

[hasty portal]

And no. They don't appear randomly when you chat with a bot.

[indigo plank]

What is the problem then

[pine swift]

UWU

[torn wharf]

Honestly the only criticism I have for the ads is that some of the ads should be marketing c.ai plus and it's like "hey if you don't want ads and you want more features you can pay for this" sort of like how Duolingo did

[hasty portal]

I dont have a problem. In fact, i couldnt care less about the ads

[glacial zephyr]

I don't mind ads, I just wish they didn't turn off my music till I mute them

[deft jetty]

I couldn't even tell them they were acting like drama queens because I got + recently and things would quickly scalate because of that lol

[daring sonnet]

Hi Jill!!

[short tundra]

REMOVE ADS AS SOON AS I ENTERED AN AD SHOWED UP

[indigo plank]

That the only flaw

[glacial zephyr]

Fr

[daring sonnet]

Don't remove. Improve.

[hasty portal]

Im broke ash so i cant buy c.ai+ (totally didnt rightfully use 500 dollars on lunacy in limbus company)

[short tundra]

YEAH THAT

[viral burrow]

They literally need ad banners instead of full on 30 second video ads

[daring sonnet]

Let's not fight again everyone, okay? Last time it was ridiculous.

[indigo plank]

5-10 sec ads*

[zinc birch]

Fine /j

[short tundra]

WE ALL LEAVING C.AI WHEN A BETTER APP SHOWS UP SUDDENLY

[stoic tide]

Agree

[timber canopy]

Is it quiet in here yet?

[hasty portal]

No way we're overreacting like that this aint covid-19

[raven falcon]

well… it was

[daring sonnet]

Used to be. :(

[short tundra]

Ok

[spice breach]

Or... we could just wait for them to improve on the ads..?

[viral burrow]

this app gotta take ideas from pinterest and ibis paint🙏

[orchid owl]

Gregor pfp

[heavy terrace]

Grab the announcement or status roles pings at #👥︱self-roles

[hasty portal]

Heathcliff but sure

[timber canopy]

NOT PINTEREST. THEIR ADS ARE TOO FREQUENT

[torn wharf]

Honestly I prefer the video ads over pop-up ads

[orchid owl]

Aint gregor and heathcliff the same or what

[frigid creek]

"So they need ka-ching or somthin? Thwats why cai has ads rn?" -My scrumptious hb

[timber canopy]

Home page ads would be great as long as they're not as frequent as Pinterest

[indigo plank]

This bound to be yandere simulator, but actually done

[hasty portal]

Nah. They are a completely different person. Jsyk

[valid locust]

I waked up

[orchid owl]

Im getting old asl bro i should hop on the game🥀

[hasty portal]

GM GANG🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[frigid creek]

Wild

[valid locust]

Hello to you too

[hasty portal]

I need to finish canto VI istg

[orchid owl]

Which canto u at

[stoic tide]

I think a banner ad in the home page or when you search for a character is gonna be much better

[hasty portal]

The 6th one. Yknow, the heartbreaking

[orchid owl]

Oo

[hasty portal]

The one with 'i must be the reason why, you have given up your smiles' yada yada

[indigo plank]

Don't spoil more pls🤧🤧

[hasty portal]

Mb gng😞

[torn wharf]

That could work but that would be hard to implement on mobile

[daring sonnet]

Also everyone, I apologize for sp-mming my suggestions post. I was trying to ensure it would get attention but now I feel like I was annoying everyone! 😔

[stoic tide]

Idk I'm not a developer but I think if they can implement it it's going to be much better than pop-up ads and like a middle ground where they can keep making money and we can still use the app comfortably without pop-up ads

[torn wharf]

Banner ads are hard to implement on mobile because phone screens are a lot smaller than like computer screens that's why even in Roblox mobile users don't get banner ads because it's hard to have them on a small phone screen

And I will say there's a difference between pop-up ads and a video ad

[lusty atlas]

ain't no way there's ads on c.ai now 😭 man what

[stoic tide]

Oh ok

[rare carbon]

Are the threads paused???

[crimson cedar]

WHAT??

[torn wharf]

Please don't start anything if you're upset about the ads just think that the ad revenue is going to go to the developers children because it's most likely going to go pay the developers that work on the app :)

[lusty atlas]

I went to chat w a character and got an ad for insta</3

[modern swan]

yall are haullcinating or have a virus or something... there isnt ads

[lusty atlas]

im just.. extremely confused

[daring sonnet]

that's because you have c.ai+ like me and Abyl lol

[crimson cedar]

Are u fr rn 😭💀

[torn wharf]

Alright sorry there was like a huge argument last night about the ads and I was in the trenches on the side saying ads aren't that bad

[lusty atlas]

yeah..

[modern swan]

lol dont take my fun away

[knotty jay]

Listen here people if you also use any other free to use apps and games on your phones They also have ads the world ain’t free at all YouTube had ads TikTok has ads certain free to use drawing apps have ads(IsbispaintX which I use very often) legit ever single free to play mobile game has ads it’s another way if the devs of theses apps to make money and keep their apps up to date true there in app purchases but you really think any big app(Like cai) is gonna be able to survive off those at all so instead of looking at this from a angry user stand point look at it from a business perspective here ads=more money=better app features=happier user base so if you want cai to stay alive they need to ads the developers most definitely 100% no doubt know about how infuriating the ads are and are probably fixing this at the moment so patience is a virtue here everyone

[lusty atlas]

is it like chai where you randomly have to watch an ad every few messages</3

[heavy terrace]

You dont hang out at plus gen anymore?

[torn wharf]

No no only when you start a new chat with a bot or open a new bot

[lusty atlas]

okay

[timber canopy]

I gotta keep that emoji with me, it's hilarious

[modern swan]

no, it feels awkard and weird in there

[lusty atlas]

thank god.. I can work with that then. chai genuinely makes me mad with how many ads on there. c.ai having adds I wasn't expecting but.. as long I don't need to watch an add every 5 messages

[heavy terrace]

I always send that to my bestie when she said something weird. Like she crave pregnancy. Mf, you dont even have a crush

[torn wharf]

Yeah no I've been able to have long conversations still even with the ads and I don't know why people work in planning so much like even if you go outside there's ads

[timber canopy]

That would be perfect..
-# Keep it up abyl

[heavy terrace]

Agree lol, with new plus users.. The vibe give me the ick

[torn wharf]

Thank you and let's not forget that even if you're driving somewhere there's still ads

[timber canopy]

It's just pops up when you open a chat or start new one. So don't worry

[modern swan]

most of the people who used to be in there arent there anymore or rarely are

[daring sonnet]

I agree with both of you. Never used it much anyway :/

[lusty atlas]

awesome, good to know ^^
still a bit confused on why the ads but.. it's wtv. but if I get another ad for insta I'm gen gonna crash out</3

[modern swan]

i go to check it and drama is unfolding

[heavy terrace]

Thats the money hungry company lol. They already have ads with shitty features before they are famous and they have what? Only 4 million users monthly

[drifting silo]

Oh yeah no, I totally understand the frustration. But hey, it's better at just doing a new or constant use of chat of getting an add than every few messages, plus they're either 10-15 seconds from what is happening so it's not that bad when you adapt around it

[lusty atlas]

i HATE insta. I'd rather any other ad</3

[torn wharf]

Okay yeah but they still need to make money for the app to stay up there's not a lot of people that are buying the membership and paying for it monthly

[heavy terrace]

We run to here or verified channel haha

[full junco]

no.
you have to be joking me cai got ads

[lusty atlas]

id buy c.ai+ if I had the money to spare</3

[lusty atlas]

at least there short..

[daring sonnet]

I never use ANY of those weird apps.. C.ai always had a special charm to me 💜 the bot's stupidity and the group chatrooms as well as the unique features make me stay on there!

[modern swan]

maybe i should unmute verified channel then.

[heavy terrace]

BRUH. I WAS TALKING ABOUT CHAI, NOT CAI, PASHI PAGA

[torn wharf]

Oh sorry 😅

[random sigil]

Yup it did

But there is no ads on website if that make it any better

[soft compass]

GUYS IK HOW TO STOP THE ADS

[stoic tide]

How?

[lusty atlas]

I genuinely have hatred burning in my soul for chai..

[soft compass]

Go to settings, data & privacy, Update GDPR preferences and reject all trust me

[heavy terrace]

Damn, getting jump when I literally have plus

[daring sonnet]

Can we not scream and whine about adverts?

Pretty please

[lusty atlas]

??

[sand shadow]

Er senpai, can I dm you? 😂

[soft compass]

It worked for me, it stops the ads

[stoic tide]

Okay I will try it and then I will inform you if it works or not

[timber canopy]

Inhale, exhale..
-# Calm down miss abyl, it's okay

[cyan meadow]

Can we all shut up Abt the ads

[soft compass]

Okkk

[keen steppe]

Okay cai is flagging things again that shouldn't be setting it off. What breaks community guild lines in this?

Salо let out a bitter laugh, a harsh sound that filled the wreckage of the room. His hands gripped the wheelchair's arms, white-knuckled and trembling.

“Look at me, Drake,” he spat, his voice dripping with venom. “Look at the perfect aristocrat who was once the envy of the city. Now I am nothing. Nothing.”

His eyes flickered up to Drake's face for a moment, cold and defiant.

"Don't patronize me. I'm not your 'sweetheart,"

[soft compass]

Ik how to take them out

[lusty atlas]

if I go to data and privacy it js gives the option to export data

[torn wharf]

Yeah chai is the app you go to when you want to disappoint your parents and go against God

[heavy terrace]

Help @lyric tapir there's a perv here

[cyan meadow]

Idc I just use the website now

[sand shadow]

[lusty atlas]

how much even is c.ai +

[heavy terrace]

Okay, okay, I am calm now

[sand shadow]

He’s gonna tag me I swear while I’m sleeping @heavy terrace

[torn wharf]

Y'all if you're upset about the ads just think that if they didn't add the ads then maybe one of the developers wouldn't have been able to eat tonight

[soft compass]

Really?

[modern swan]

$10 unless you live somewhere else it varies based on your location

[lusty atlas]

yeah that's all that shows ^^"

[pine swift]

nobody is even complaining about the ads rn lol

[native eagle]

here it's €11/month OR €9/month if you do the yearly subscription , which apparently is a thing now

[cyan meadow]

Huh wdym

[soft compass]

Can you dm me with a screenshot?

[cyan meadow]

They did but u werent there

[lusty atlas]

ehh in na(east coast)?

[native eagle]

the not so humble general chats and feedback threads:

[sand shadow]

It’s cheaper in a sense to do annual that way you just pay upfront today and then not worry about it for a whole year

I'm saying that the ad revenue goes to the developers and goes back into the app to try and make it better so without them getting ad revenue they can't make the app better and they can't pay the developers that much

[modern swan]

ok thats where i am so its $10

[lusty atlas]

It shows

Export Data

Terms of Service
Privacy policy

that's all there is,

[pine swift]

how would you know I wasn't there 👀

[sand shadow]

Where is Luci? Let him scold you

[lusty atlas]

alrighty.. not terrible. pretty much the same as nitro would be

[soft compass]

Are you on the app? Have you updated?

[heavy terrace]

Nah, lvci abandon me. Thats why I go all crazy

[lusty atlas]

yeah I'm on the app. I can see if it needs an update but usually my apps auto update

[sand shadow]

He’s online 😂 I’m gonna fuss

[timber canopy]

Good, keep up the positivity

[pine swift]

@versed thicket

[soft compass]

Oh, them idk

[stoic tide]

You're a savior

[drifting silo]

Honestly that is a good steal when you're looking at today's financial economy coughs Netflix and Disney+ coughs/j

[soft compass]

Did it work?

[heavy terrace]

Lmao why yall gang up on me

[lusty atlas]

that's so real

[modern swan]

i recommend trying it out for a month and if you dont like it you can unsub. that was my thought going into it and i ended up liking it and staying. however if you do it now, they are working on the nyan chat style so it may be bugged... its going in and out

[heavy terrace]

HAHAHAHA JILL

[pine swift]

[dense comet]

-# me js watching

[lusty atlas]

fair enough.. I'll do that when I get money,

[stoic tide]

Yes it did like when I close it and open it when I open multiple new bots when I start a new chat when I refresh the chat there is no ads at all

[timber solstice]

chat... i just got my first ad on the mobile app 🫡

[soft compass]

Go to settings, data & privacy, Update GDPR preferences and reject all

[random sigil]

Don't say it too loud cuz they gonna fix it 🥀

[lethal shard]

Chat is c.AI working rn

[soft compass]

I hope so, but while there is no solution, do this

[drifting silo]

My main concern about that is, how long is that going to last to block the ads until the devs change it up again to where it will prevent you from doing it like now..

[heady parcel]

does web have ads yet?

[random sigil]

Nope

[lusty atlas]

I don't even have the option to do what they're saying to so.. I'll js deal with the adds tbh

[heady parcel]

let's pray it stays that was

[daring sonnet]

Okay. Thanks for responding. I don't know what I did to upset you though.. :(

[lusty atlas]

anyways gn guys

[drifting silo]

At most if that does happen, it's more likely going to be a banner that you can x out of

[quartz hearth]

The ads complaining is still going on after 24 hours I wouldn't be surprised if this server or some channels will be locked down for a while

[random sigil]

Fr cuz if i have to watch some cringe ads on website im gonna jump 🥀

[torn wharf]

You know I wish c.ai would add a feature where you can directly message bot creators off the app

[soft compass]

Go to settings, data & privacy, Update GDPR preferences and reject all

[pine swift]

If she said no once, just take the hint. That means she doesn't want to be bothered to get DMed to be asked for opinions.

[heady parcel]

amen amen

[zinc birch]

They have a feature. You can put your discord username in your bio if you want to receive messages.

[sand shadow]

lol. Pls. Quit it. If she said no to dming her, she doesn’t want to be bothered despite how much you ask to dm her. The no is enough.

[torn wharf]

No I'm saying that I want to message creators of some of my favorite bots to either tell them to put them back up or to let them know about certain things that are broken with the bot

[heavy terrace]

"You annoyed me to death" is basically a sign that I dont want to talk to you

[torn wharf]

I swear there was only ever one good Harry Potter roleplay bot on the app and it wasn't even a direct Harry Potter or Hogwarts bot it was a Wally darling one

[sand shadow]

Why are you scared over one person from the internet’s opinion? lol leave her be.

[zinc birch]

If they want to receive messages, they will put their usernames in their bios 😁

[heady parcel]

Before the big Harry Potter nuke or after?

[torn wharf]

Dude. I'm more so talking like a DM system almost like Instagram

[modern swan]

i cant leave for a second...

[zinc birch]

I understand that

[torn wharf]

I don't know it wasn't even called a Harry Potter bot it was called wizard Wally and you'd have to look into the bot to actually see it was a Hogwarts one

[cyan meadow]

I was there when ppl complained Abt the ads.

[heady parcel]

then it was probably post 😔🙏 I'm glad you enjoyed it though :)

[pine swift]

ik, but I could be lurking and you wouldn't know 👀

[sand shadow]

Abyl about to get scolded

[torn wharf]

You know I wish that when people made bots and deleted their accounts it didn't delete their bots either

[cyan meadow]

Where were u when ppl complained then?

[heavy terrace]

Nuh-uh. See? Lvci abandon me

[modern swan]

even if the def or greeting mentioned hogwarts thats prob hy

[sand shadow]

@harsh shoal kappa, scold her pls 😂

[drifting silo]

Ooooh, someone is in trouble/j

[heavy terrace]

Kappa is not online, wekk

[sand shadow]

It’s 6 am for us 😂 he’s gonna be up soon

[pine swift]

he could be lurk lurk

[zinc birch]

If there's someone you're really desperate to contact, you can try this advice: #💭︱cai-discussion message

[heady parcel]

Wait did people get their entire accounts deleted for the copyright stuff? I thought it was just the offending bots

[pine swift]

pretty sure it's just the bots

[heady parcel]

okay phew

[stoic tide]

They got a point so let's keep it quiet for now

[torn wharf]

That doesn't help.

[sand shadow]

It’s just the bots. Accounts being deleted would be either the service did it themselves if they broke a tos or they deleted it themselves

[pine swift]

-# Ooohhhh I have a flashback of Caraldereteq 🧑‍🦯

[sand shadow]

Also Abyl is a mod

[zinc birch]

Creators [at least the ones I know] typically look at the people following them, so they will probably see it

[timber solstice]

found a way to stop the ads on android. dm for method.

[modern swan]

sorry i replied to the wrong message. sorry for the confusion

[drifting silo]

WE GOT A RUNNEr/j

[heavy terrace]

[daring sonnet]

Bye everyone, have a great day.

[unborn dome]

HELP,MY CHARACTER AI REFUSES TO WORK,WHEN I START A CHAT THERES ONLY WHITE BLANK. nothing,just white screen

[fervent pilot]

OMG OMG I GOT RID OF ADS ON IOS

DM for tutorial😋

[tight rampart]

why am I getting an ad popup every time I tap on a character now💔

[native eagle]

there's no ads on the website

[fervent pilot]

but u can get rid of them on the app for ios and android

there’s ways for both i just got rid of them on ios without cai+

[tight rampart]

can you tell me how? I prefer the app over the website and the ads make it difficult for me to revamp my bots now

[rose elk]

Hey…for some reason I’ve been switching bots and not getting ads it’s like freedom

[fervent pilot]

yeah dm me cuz ik how much i can without alerting

[heavy terrace]

Oh boy, I said this again.. Cai discussion gonna filled in later with 'Why I dont have this features?!' when they have adguard, private DNS, VPN, ad blck on

[frail isle]

hi! so, umm.. i'm experiencing this issue wherein i duplicate a chat from where i want to be in, but it keeps bringing me back to the previous chat. this happened to me before, and apparently reinstalling the app works..? is there any way that i can fix this bug without uninstalling the app?

[quartz hearth]

Channel lockdown in 3, 2, 1...

[pure stratus]

I'ma need someone to dm me how to get rid of the ads on the app for Android without cai+ 🙏🏻 😭

[lime drum]

me too pls

[quartz hearth]

I'd love for that to happen tbh because it's getting annoying. All I see is complaints about ads

But it will never happen

[vagrant juniper]

hello humans

[sweet salmon]

Cai bans their third party apps to bypass ads

Cai users: 😡

[heavy terrace]

I can imagine all the whine and blaming cai devs, like we didnt see those days before. All simply cause they had those on

[fervent pilot]

they didn’t tho

[quartz hearth]

I wouldn't mind if the entire server (excepted for one channel) will be locked down for some days

[fickle shale]

What’s happening this time?

[quartz hearth]

People whining about ads

[sweet salmon]

Ads again

[hasty flint]

The ads aren’t too bad .
I use them as a reminder to check my messages and the time, I like that.
So far I haven’t gotten any sus ads and I’m glad it’s not like other apps where there is an ad every five seconds or every time you press a button too.

[heavy terrace]

GHOSTIE

[quartz hearth]

But I know that it will never happen so I mute the entire server

[fervent pilot]

is anyone else getting that annoying glitch where when you try and send a message it won’t let you??

[sweet salmon]

I suppress roles and pings if that wasn't enough

[quartz hearth]

Heck, I even seen people saying that they're going to dox the devs. Like what

[quartz hearth]

Over ads. Wow

[sweet salmon]

Seriously doxing? Smh

[timber canopy]

Prolly cause you found a way to remove ads

[quartz hearth]

I saw that on the subreddit

[fervent pilot]

no it’s been happening WAYYYYY before that

[quartz hearth]

Some people are too addicted to cAI that they threaten to do stuff like that

[sweet salmon]

They need to see a cai therapist lmao 🤣

[tight rampart]

holy crap??? Over ads???

[winter lagoon]

Sometimes it’s your chat glitching just use backspace one time and you can send it

[quartz hearth]

Yeah

[sweet salmon]

I wouldn't be surprise if they did something far worse people are just desperate now

[tight rampart]

People are too chronically online now we’re doomed💔..

[quartz hearth]

Like, 90% of the subreddit and the server is filled with users who are under 18, of course they're too addicted to say such stuff

[lucid grail]

WHATTT

[flint lantern]

Why is "Ads" in update?

[sweet salmon]

I already feel sorry for their existence

[quartz hearth]

Oop, storm coming in where I am

[wicked grotto]

[spice breach]

Thankfully a lot of the ruder people were banned/muted yesterday but there's clearly still a lot of hate 💔

[little hamlet]

slop thickens. rot consumes.

[tight rampart]

Same people who crash out when the app is down too I assume ..💔

[winter lagoon]

What the helly I mean yeah it’s a little annoying but it will just help them improve the app more on the long term

[craggy spoke]

Why The Chat Feed Is Closed Because We Are Talking About Ads? Thats Not Even A Reason

[fervent pilot]

cuz they need to make more money for the app so they use ads to get more revenue

[quartz hearth]

True that. They should honestly lock down the entire server for hours when it goes down

[warped kraken]

So are they gonna make like a subscription to get rid of the adds or what 💀

[atomic grail]

Character ai has ads because they are making money to maintain the server

[winter lagoon]

It already exists I’m assuming

[spice breach]

It's not specifically because of ads it's because people were SPAMMING about the ads

[wicked grotto]

nope

[craggy spoke]

Oh You Wanna Chat With A Bot? GIVE US 500 DOLLAR EACH MONTH

[fervent pilot]

yeah you gotta pay for cai+ and that has no ads

[flint lantern]

So, ads are good? Will there be skip ad option?

[winter lagoon]

Oh fr? Even the c.ai+ users?

[warped kraken]

Im gonna cry dont what this shi 💀😭

[wicked grotto]

yeah

[craggy spoke]

I'm Using A D
B lock er Hehe

[warped kraken]

GIMMEE

[wicked grotto]

they have to suffer through ads too

[craggy spoke]

DM ME

[warped kraken]

Bet

[winter lagoon]

They’ll probably change that though wouldn’t make sense to let them keep ads

[atomic grail]

Yep. There are skip option.

[spice breach]

Everybody has had ads/still do since it's "experimental" right now

[distant crane]

Plus users don't get ads ._.

[atomic grail]

Or you all can use Adguard to block the ads.

[fervent pilot]

yeah that’s what i use

[spice breach]

Idk I saw some + users complaining about it too so I just kinda asummed they did

[atomic grail]

That because c.ai force the users need to buy c.ai+ to get money.

[wicked grotto]

I’m pretty sure they still get ads…

[modern swan]

no we plus users dont

[hasty flint]

Bro.. its not free to run servers, host millions of users, code AI, give constant updates and pay workers..

[wicked grotto]

Oh

[dire berry]

Still?

[wicked grotto]

idk at this point some say they do others say they don’t

[quartz hearth]

Some people don't understand it lol

[rocky torrent]

the app is laggy tho

[modern swan]

i can confirm, plus users def dont get ads

[molten ore]

What are the ads for tho

[timber canopy]

Can’t we just find a solution?

[hasty flint]

Oh god.

[craggy spoke]

Money

[wicked grotto]

Money, they gotta make it somehow

[rocky torrent]

for money man

[quartz hearth]

To make money to run the servers obviously

[molten ore]

Sorry i didnt tho😭

[sweet salmon]

Um to support them

[rocky torrent]

they gotta eat too

[wicked grotto]

Which is fair enough tbh

[hasty flint]

Its okay queen

[molten ore]

Know*

[quartz hearth]

True that tbh. It's their job

[craggy spoke]

Gimme A Free Bot App Bro💔

[rocky torrent]

create one

[hasty flint]

It’ll be shitty.
They have to pay for servers and coders

[atomic grail]

And why c.ai have ads?
C.ai has ads to pay for servers, devs, and free access. No ads, the server shut down.

[stoic tide]

If someone doesn't want the ads you can use chat GBT to role play a character you want but to make it better just give it the character's believes motivations goals speech pattern vocabulary and the traits of their personality and their background and relationships and there ideology and you can just ask it to find all of those things and then you could tell it to act like it and for extract clarity you can ask it what it needs exactly and then give it to it no that is no ads and also it's memory is way better and it could even act better than the other characters in c.ai because you can give it way more information about the character and the persona you will have it way longer now so you can write more about what is your role in the story and who will you be exactly

[odd laurel]

Ads in general for most people are not good, their is better ways to make money. People are seeing ads more and more it started with TV, we moved away to phones and YouTube and other social then we moved to Netflix and Hulu and they added ads.
People really don't care if it's the "Option" companies want or not people keep trying to avoid them, and they keep forcing it on people. That would be the problem I keep seeing.

[quartz hearth]

Some people don't understand that not everything is free and that some companies need to make money in a way or another

[atomic grail]

Or use the c.ai mod. But this is not recommended.

[molten ore]

If your talking abt the solution for ads then its either you delete the app or you create your own app since they gotta make money somehow

[odd laurel]

There has even been efforts to add ads in games as gaming has become more popular, and people and even steam didn't like it

[craggy spoke]

Im Not Talking Abt The Ads Btw

[spice breach]

I think ads (although they have to be improved upon in this case) is probably the best thing they can do for money though... if they just makes the ads less intrusive and annoying it wouldn't be that much of a problem

[heady parcel]

manifesting the ads just being banners 🙏

[atomic grail]

If you all don't want ads, just use website. It doesn't have ads, but if your phone is weak, you can't.

[fervent pilot]

i found it. start with a ends with block

[spice breach]

this is deadass what we need 💔

[craggy spoke]

I HAVE IT SO ITS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME XD

[winter lagoon]

Does anyone know how to use adguard on apple for the app?

[azure oar]

I'm getting ads with every single click I'm losing it I try to click a new bot or try to click a bot that I was just on I get an ad I tried to duplicate a chat I get an ad I'm losing it

[craggy spoke]

I Have A Solution

[fervent pilot]

dm me

[heady parcel]

I don't think any of them work on weekends so gotta wait till Monday 💔

[distant crane]

Talking about avoiding ads on the official c.ai discord is brave, and dumb.

[spice breach]

Yeah the ads right now are a bit annoying... best bit of advice I can do is try and wait for them to stop (mine went away like yesterday) aside from that idk what to tell you 💔

[fervent pilot]

not like they can find my account the most they can do is ban me on discord😝

[sweet salmon]

Smh

[frozen imp]

It’s freedom of speech what can they do

[azure oar]

What do you mean wait for them to stop what do you mean they went away 😭

[quartz hearth]

Lol true. They should make a channel about people complaining about ads, like that one channel that shows up when the servers are down

[sweet salmon]

Limit it or have some self control

[spice breach]

I think i started getting ads around 6pm yesterday and by 8 they were gone for me so....

[azure oar]

It wasn't that bad yesterday but today literally every single time I click I get a freaking ad and they're getting longer

[winter lagoon]

Dm’ed you

[quartz hearth]

It's been more than 24 hours since the complaining started. Tbh, they should either put a 24 hours cooldown or lock some channels

[heady parcel]

they had slow mode on at peak times

[craggy spoke]

They Locked Chat Feed

[odd laurel]

Possibly. I see three ways to go down.

1: no ads at all due to the backlash

2: Pinterest like ads that don't interrupt at all, they just kinda sit out in the open while searching for bots.

3: Worse case scenario, they keep current ads and they will lose users as much.

while yes some are like "Leave then" in the end I feel like that will only make things divisive and anger those who are actively trying their best to to speak their opinion as people have rights to speak, if the few who become actively violent or say things like "I'll hurt you" those actively and seriously threatening others who are an issue, those bad eggs should be handled, but the rest who are just stating how they feel should stay and continue to state the opinion

[flint raptor]

I’m getting ads every time I open the app and click on something..
“Oh you want to search for a character? Have an ad!”
“You want to add more to your persona? Have an ad!”
“Want to open our app to pass some free time? Have an ad!”

The app is slowly becoming unusable for me..

[odd crag]

then stop using it

[craggy spoke]

I'll Give Solution In Dm If Somebody Wants🙏

[pine swift]

if only ppl spend the same energy on their school/ college essay as they do here

[sweet salmon]

Can we just limit the threads

People are really getting wild over mild comments 😔 it's sad

[heady parcel]

You don't really have to engage with them

[rocky torrent]

did anyone also got banned off cai for using it?

[spice breach]

I don't think ads will go away at all because of them needing money sadly 💔 but no yeah the ads being like pinterest ads would probably be the best idea/choice... also the people who were threatening devs were just annoying 💔

[heady parcel]

If it's an unproductive discussion, you can just step away. Eat like, a smoothie

[pine swift]

how do you eat a smoothie

[rocky torrent]

with a spoon

[heady parcel]

I mean, if you make it bad enough you totally can

[spice breach]

damn now i want a smoothie wtf

[modern swan]

with a spoon 😭

[ornate thistle]

Does ads only available to regular c.ai user instead of plus? I didn't know about it before

[heady parcel]

REAL REAL 🤤 they're so easy yet so good

[timber canopy]

I think they should close the feedback channel and go through the threads and get rid of some. There's too many repeat threads about the ads that it's clogging it up

[sweet salmon]

Looking at threads just gives me anxiety

[pine swift]

or they should've just made one official ads feedback thread and pin it so that all the ppl give their feedbacks there

[remote flax]

Regular app users.
Web users are unaffected (yet).

[timber canopy]

They did on the reddit but not here

[modern swan]

i have all but like 3 channels muted because ppl are keyboard warriors

[pine swift]

reddit sucks 💔

[quartz hearth]

Idk if they're going to do that but I hope they will and that they're going to limit the number of threads about it

[timber canopy]

It's honestly better than the discord rn 😭

[quartz hearth]

Like a thread about it every day or something

[atomic grail]

Yes. If you don't want ads, you have to buy c.ai+

[hybrid socket]

Ad its kinda unnecessary
