[terse finch]

ugh the website

[vestal dock]

Anyone know some other apps that haven't gone crazy policy wise?

[terse finch]

No idea i heard about one made for girlies but never tried it

[fossil crow]

Even if we did, I don't think we could name any in here

[vestal dock]

Really? Why not?

[fossil crow]

part of the servers rules against promotion of other ai app/tools, you can check in #📜︱rules for better details, or just look at the picture ig

[carmine lotus]

I’m so sorry

[fossil crow]

it's ok lol

[carmine lotus]

I was trying to make it easier for you

[vestal dock]

Oh my god I read that like 10 minutes ago how did i forget already

[vestal dock]

Oooo are you from north or south Wales?

[carmine lotus]

South unfortunately 💔

[vestal dock]

Sorry I'm a creeper and I will look at profiles

[vestal dock]

Awh man..

[carmine lotus]

Yeah. It’s rough out here…

[vestal dock]

Im over in North Wales

[carmine lotus]

shwmae! You’re so lucky. I’m so jealous right now

[vestal dock]

Whats so bad about south?

[carmine lotus]

I live 20 minutes away from England

[vestal dock]

Do ppl speak welsh there? I heard its very few who do

[carmine lotus]

I can but I went to a Welsh school

Not many people do

[vestal dock]

No wayyy everyone in my town is full welshie

[carmine lotus]

Very, very jealous😔

[vestal dock]

Damn someone doesn't want my friend request 💔

[compact tartan]

hi

[fossil crow]

Maybe they got distracted by something lol

[vestal dock]

Anyone fancy telling me any more apps... 🙂

[fossil crow]

still kinda can't say them in here (I'd dm you a few but idk any other apps either)

[compact tartan]

google

[vestal dock]

Thank yewww ill keep an eye on my DMs

[vestal dock]

Thank you onion man

[compact tartan]

lmfaoo

i hate u cant change ur server nickname here unless ur booster or c.ai plus tho cause i would ask them to clear it since then it would show my display name which i can change but that makes me feel annoying

[vestal dock]

Real

[zinc birch]

a mod may change it for you if you ask nicely

[faint ginkgo]

yo guys, is it just me, or is everyone getting the long-loading for c.ai?

[zinc birch]

I think so, but only on the app

[stone pumice]

Pursuer, stop eating my wands.

[barren karma]

bro i can barely even get on the app without retrying

[fair raptor]

Why Super Heroes doesn't exist?

Like, i search for bot like Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Venom or whatever...
And there's nothing.

[fossil crow]

they've been removed due to copywrite

[fair raptor]

Also, with AM (no mouth, must scream) i search "AM" and nothing appears...

When i've seen bots of it that were named AM

Like... wtf

[fair raptor]

There's Bruce Wayne and Eddie Broke

[fossil crow]

🤷 idk

[fair raptor]

There's also Nintendo Mario

[compact tartan]

Copyright. Use the civilian names. Instead of batman, try bruce wayne. instead of superman, try clark kent

[compact tartan]

ye

[fair raptor]

AND HOW THERE'S NO PETER PARKER?

[compact tartan]

marvel copyright

[fossil crow]

bc they know that name is directly related to Spiderman, one of the copywrited characters

[fair raptor]

Eddie Broke

[compact tartan]

dont know

[fossil crow]

some people use variations or misspellings of characters names to escape the copywrite, so maybe do some experimenting to see what else pops up? You might get lucky lol

[tiny hinge]

Hello did they removed the age check

[fossil crow]

no, and they don't plan to ever do so

[tiny hinge]

Dang it

Well guess I can’t ever go back

[bronze sequoia]

Tried to use ID, it doesn't accept vertical ids

My id is stuck vertical until 2032

[fossil crow]

you can go back once you're 18 and have everything you need to verify, it's not a perma ban

[fossil crow]

oof-

[tiny hinge]

I need to wait 3 years

[fossil crow]

that sucks, but still

[bronze sequoia]

It can always be worse

[tiny hinge]

In 3 years maybe the app won’t even exist

[compact tartan]

be patient..

[bronze sequoia]

Too colorblind to get a driver's license, vertical id until 2032, and I look younger than I am

[zinc birch]

can you cut it into pieces and rearrange them?

[bronze sequoia]

Illegal iirc

[plucky peak]

how come??

[zinc birch]

This is America. We build things horizontal

[fossil crow]

I think vertical IDs just- really confuse it, and they're used to horizontal

[bronze sequoia]

Tx dmv gave ot to me vertical

[plucky peak]

mm, maybe ask a mod if there’s a way to get around that

[zinc birch]

What if you go to a fun house with all of those mirrors and try it there? 🤔

Maybe it can resize it to fit

[faint ginkgo]

AHH FRESH WANDS

[tender grove]

I lurk in this chat often

[mild marten]

Man Now i Can't Acess my Phone Sources on C.AI..

[plucky peak]

same

[tender grove]

aaah

[chrome prism]

It terrifies me but I sometimes look to try and get a feel for why people enjoy the app

I’m just curious on what motivates people to use it

[bronze sequoia]

Still trying all that i can, "support" has yet to help one bit

it also might be a bit of a problem that I got a haircut after the ID photo was taken so it looks a bit different

[lunar sparrow]

my c.ai is super slow in my laptop for some reason

[compact tartan]

could be your internet but its been slow for most people

[tender grove]

ughh

[late pivot]

Me when

[lament bloom]

Nobody knows any Emma frost bots ?

[late pivot]

Yeah there's like 20 million of them

A friend told me

[desert knot]

Hi guys

[glossy steeple]

Who's Emma Frost

[glossy steeple]

Hi

[lament bloom]

CN you send me some I’m trying find a certain one

[gilded swift]

Hi is anyone else having issues with the generate photos thing?

[lament bloom]

She a x-man character

[compact tartan]

No not me

[glossy steeple]

Oh

[late pivot]

Sure, what's the presentation?

[lament bloom]

Your a student in the school and she took you in because they used to torture you then you embarrassed her in a meeting

[late pivot]

Let me search

[heavy iris]

Am I the only one whose c.ai doesn't work through the website? Helpppwwww

[lament bloom]

Ok

[late pivot]

I think they deleted them

I can't find a marvel one

[lament bloom]

Oh ok

[late pivot]

Oh, try to search emma fr

Not the entire name

There's some

[coarse jetty]

Are you guys getting banner ads?

[soft blade]

search bugged again?

[rare elbow]

There are going to be days when you're just sick being around names.

[terse finch]

why is the website down bru 💔

[late pivot]

Mayhaps

[compact tartan]

yes

[hot ridge]

Just got one on my alt

wack

[compact tartan]

dannnggg

[worldly mountain]

Bro who is OOC

[hot ridge]

out of character

[worldly mountain]

I keep getting disengaged when I try having combat or violence

Pmo, I just want to fight sukuna

[barren wedge]

Is anybody else's C.AI site freezing up or is it just me?

[worldly mountain]

Oh, im on mobile rn

[gilded swift]

It won't let me send a photo

[spring oriole]

the website isn't working for me either

[late pivot]

Yo chat, it's the search bar bugged again or I'm tripping?

[barren wedge]

Okay, so it's not just me.

[queen gorge]

Always is bugged

[timber canopy]

-# Did you even sleep?

[queen gorge]

-# Only 4:28 am

[late pivot]

But like I can't find any character I'm looking for, they get deleted again?

[timber canopy]

-# Go to sleep..

[queen gorge]

Depends on who you're looking for

What are you searching ?

[late pivot]

Marvel characters

[barren wedge]

Anything Disney, marvel, or star wars I'm pretty sure is just gone from the search and even some characters from other studios.

[queen gorge]

Yeah they got deleted a long time ago

[late pivot]

F word

[queen gorge]

Fuck

[late pivot]

Anyways thanks for the help ❤️‍🩹

[barren wedge]

And it's stupid. I made a "Cinderella Story" bot that was meant to be a modern RPG that had nothing to do with Disney. I wake up one morning and it's gone. I worked hard on that!😭

[late pivot]

That's messed up

[barren wedge]

Right?

[late pivot]

Damn copyright, damn mouse

[gilded swift]

Cinderella wasn't originally Disney

[barren wedge]

Exactly! Cinderella was not originally a Disney story folks!

[late pivot]

Aren't coming back are they?

[queen gorge]

-# Okay 😔

[barren wedge]

A couple of mine that were moderated came back. One was for a character from Tangled the Series and another from How to Train Your Dragon. But my modern Cinderella Story one and another I did for Frozen are just GONE. No warning, no backup, nothing.

[late pivot]

You creators should change the names of your bots to prevent them getting deleted

I see some did it and bots that are supposed to be deleted aren't

[barren wedge]

I didn't know they would be deleting them though. That's the point! I didn't get a warning or anything until after it happened.

[late pivot]

Yeah that's the problem they didn't say anything just snapped their fingers like Thanos and all the good bots are gone

[barren wedge]

And Disney's whole thing about taking all their characters down from C.AI for 'the safety of the kids' is just a load of bull, because now they're enabling AI creations on Disney Plus! Hypocrites.

[late pivot]

They only want to be te center of attention, only they want to users to use their products and no one else

[barren wedge]

Exactly. Disney has changed, and if they mess up the live-action Tangled or Frozen 3, I am officially giving up on them because Zootopia 2 was a REAL disappointment.

[cunning rover]

I’m annoyed about the new one hour update for users under 18…I’m 16

[late pivot]

Totally agree, I was hoping a change with the new ceo

[late pivot]

What's that update about?

[barren wedge]

Also, somebody please let me know if they hear anything about when the C.AI site will be working again.

[cunning rover]

It’s like got something to do with the kids under 16 not allowed on social media thing- in Australia- I think! I mean the app is 17+ so makes sense but…still

[late pivot]

I use the app so

[cunning rover]

Me too!

But it does the same thing

[late pivot]

Oh but like why?

[cunning rover]

Idk mate!

[cunning rover]

The under 16 rule is a state wide thing in Australia for all social media so…yea

[late pivot]

That's messed up mate

[cunning rover]

yea- I hate it

I mean it should be the parents responsibility to not have their kids have social media, I'm 16 so its fine but...still

[late pivot]

Yeah rules and that don't make sense these days

[cunning rover]

IDK-! AUSTRALIA'S WEIRD!

[pastel nacelle]

Its not just Australia, its also over Europe.

[late pivot]

Damn

[pastel nacelle]

We have, with ID etc. It's kinda sad.

[late pivot]

Like the entire continent?

[pastel nacelle]

Face scan and ID info.

[cunning rover]

oh damn- didn't know that

[pastel nacelle]

Yeah, its annoying but you cant do anything about it.

[prisma crag]

Aren't i glad to be Canadian. But IDs suck here most ID scanners dont want to acknowledge we exist

[barren wedge]

Yay! Site's back up!

[trim dune]

Question: does anyone know if 18+ users also have a timeout?

[full valley]

Question. If a bot now says <Deleted> with a blue icon, is that bot gone forever?

[dim egret]

Hey, I'm trying to use the website but it's not working... Does someone told me what is happening?

[trim dune]

Maybe it’s just down for you for a bit. I’m also on website and it’s okay

[dim egret]

Is it because of using the site too much?

[hot ridge]

only if they get kicked to a minor account and don't verify that they're over 18

[late pivot]

Yup, sadly

[late pivot]

Is the search bar fixed?

[barren wedge]

I don't know.

[full valley]

Bro I was right in the middle of it to. Rip me

[late pivot]

It was your bot?

[full valley]

Oh nah. I worded that weird. I was in the middle of using it. It was someone else's I used pretty regularly

[late pivot]

Oh, maybe they will update it without the entire name

[full valley]

I dunno. It wasn't one part of any DMCAs I think.

[nimble heart]

Is anyone else struggling to change persona?

[late pivot]

Damn

[full valley]

Yeaaaah. Just gone. But thank you for answering my question

[late pivot]

No problem ❤️‍🩹

[trim dune]

I think it’s if you use it for more than 2 hours. But only if you haven’t verified

[trim dune]

Thank you!

[dim egret]

Verified how?? By sign in?

[gilded swift]

Verify?

[dim egret]

Uh huh

[shut gate]

hello, i'm trying to create a story but the button is grayed out, anyone know what to do?

[pliant nebula]

force close the app or reload the site

unless you were flagged as a minor, then its like that by default (iirc take this with a grain of salt)

[shut gate]

doesn't work

[pliant nebula]

were you flagged perchance? save the character to a google doc and try to see if you can edit or have a limit to your messages; it either is a bug or is like that by default

[shut gate]

idk if I was flagged, how do I see that?

[pliant nebula]

most of the main ways is if a descover tab pops up on your app, or you are inable to edit a yours and a bots message

im trying to figure out if its a bug with the flagging on your end

[shut gate]

I can edit messages and talk to bots normally

on the app itself

but I have no idea how to use a google doc for an ai

[pliant nebula]

huh, weird. must be client side issue then, i completely thought it was a flagging issue. unfortunately if the quick fixes won't help you'll have to make a ticket: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=16050152195355. in the meantime, you can try to use the site to create a character and see if it's doing the same thing

[pliant nebula]

just open a google doc, and paste everything for the character in there so you have the descriptions and shit saved

[shut gate]

there I created a ticket

also I have a question, when I change or edit the persona on a chat, does it automatically update or do I have to start a new conversation?

[gleaming roost]

Every time I do a face scan it never registers my face and when it does it asks me for id and still doesn’t work..

[pliant nebula]

it automatically updates!

[pliant nebula]

try it several times. its new so its still finicky

[shut gate]

I have a problem where the bots confuse the persona with information about themselves, it's quite annoying...

[gleaming roost]

Gang it’s day 13

Ts tryna make me throw my phone out the window

[valid locust]

Uhh since when there’s banner ads now ??

[hot ridge]

today apparently

[noble kelp]

Is anyone else having problems like having to swipe twice on the app and being unable to swap your persona?

[pastel nacelle]

Buggy chat, and all others stuff yes. It's been like that for a while

[noble kelp]

Ah! Nice to know other people are having the same problems

[trim dune]

With your age. You can go to settings then advanced to verify your age. You have to be 18+ to not have a time limit

[mint sandal]

Heyy I have a bug can anyone help me with that?

It’s when I make characters, i can’t make them anymore or update my old ones, not on my phone or on web

[bright horizon]

Are you able to edit messages?

[mint sandal]

Yes

[hot ridge]

it's probably a word or phrase being blocked

even on old characters because they were probably made before c.ai updated their bot restrictions

[mint sandal]

Is there a list of words I can’t put in?

Bc I lowk needa make a bot and it won’t let me do it

[hot ridge]

no, unfortunately not.

But it's the description, tagline, greeting, or name that would be causing it, not definition

I would just go through word by word and see if there is anything that could be inappropriate out of context, either a word or a phrase

I would even try plugging it into chatGPT and seeing if it could guess

[mint sandal]

Alrighty I’ll do that, tysm!!!

[hot ridge]

I do know that someone once had "maine coon" (cat breed) blocking their bot from being made because the second word is a slur in different contexts, but idk how much that will help

[mint sandal]

Ohh yeah I could see how that’s taken out of context

[nimble marten]

Is anyone else have trouble logging in on the app? I can't log in at all.

[amber laurel]

Love being entirely locked out

[bronze sequoia]

yeah, locking me out as well because I dont actually look like the person on the photo (I got a haircut)

[nimble marten]

I just can't log in at all. I put my email in and hit the button and the button doesn't work.

I even tried to uninstall and reinstall several times. No dice.

[covert hatch]

I’ve been on read only mode for so long

I think maybe like a few days??? idk lowk

[bronze sequoia]

these censorship laws are getting out of hand

[covert hatch]

right

[bronze sequoia]

with looking younger than I am, and an ID that is vertical it wont take because I'm still under 21, not much I can do.

[fossil crow]

do you need to be 21 to get a non-vertical ID?

[bronze sequoia]

yes

or over

[fossil crow]

dang, that sucks.

[bronze sequoia]

I reached out a bit ago, the response was basically "have you tried verifying your age?"

[lofty nimbus]

The dumb chat messages are still dull boring and short on any chat type

[fossil crow]

ah yes, like teh system isn;t already baffled by the funky ID card. They should really include more regions into their verification thingy, especially if other places have different IDs than what its used to

[bronze sequoia]

its from the usa

[river mantle]

actually, im kinda having problems with pipsqueak. Shit used to be detailed, long and lowkey amazing. Now it kinda replies like soft launch. Ts pmo so bad 😭

[lofty nimbus]

Like what haplened

I just wanna do a murder drones rp using my Drone-sona but now it seems boring

[river mantle]

fr

i miss pipsqueak old style

[lofty nimbus]

Like i even changed to ROAR but its still boring

[river mantle]

i lost interest in chatting tbh

[lofty nimbus]

I pray that after this doki doki event they fix it

[fossil crow]

honestly, the doki doki event could've waited until shit was at least a bit more functional

[pastel nacelle]

The chat is like that because its bugging atm.

Try the web

[lofty nimbus]

Its both on the web and app

[river mantle]

right

i'm on pc and it's still the same thing lowkey

[pastel nacelle]

Wha? The web works fine for me

[lofty nimbus]

I literally got the app to see it itll work on it but it doesnt

[pastel nacelle]

💔 yeah the app doesn't, but the web for me it works fine

[river mantle]

i mean, the web in general is pretty fine. What i'm concerned about it's the styles

[pastel nacelle]

Ahhh understandable

[bitter ridge]

Why is the app asking to use my personal data? Do I reject or accept all?

[hot ridge]

it's a personal choice

[bitter ridge]

I'm just wondering if it will make my user experience any different based off my choice

[lofty nimbus]

Yes

[bitter ridge]

What differences?

[rapid geode]

Does anyone know why the chats have gone from detailed and long to just short in the past 24 hours?

[fossil crow]

Timeouts will be removed, and you'll regain the ability to edit chats if you have lost them previously

[bitter ridge]

Is this if I agree, or disagree?

[fossil crow]

It's if you agree

[chrome viper]

The only difference I now see is that without a persona the bot gave me a goddamn shakespearian peak, and after I turned it on it started giving me short ass replies lol

Probably it was just pure luck and rng, but still a funny coincidence

[lofty nimbus]

No but it’s annoying

[rapid geode]

Lol that's actually crazy

[bitter ridge]

Do you by chance know how long these changes will settle back in? I just agreed and reopened the app and I haven't gotten the ability to edit.

[dim karma]

Have you got scammed before?

[lofty nimbus]

You need to verify that you are over eighteen

[lofty nimbus]

No…..

[chrome viper]

Does the "my dear classmate who I'm writing an sms, send me 50 cents please please please" count?

[rapid geode]

Account created and joined the same day, that's likely a scam.

[lofty nimbus]

Makes tons of sense

Thanks for telling me lad

[rapid geode]

Of course!

[chrome viper]

Oh, really weird. Though the weirdest part for me is the old lady on the pfp

[lofty nimbus]

Your concerned about the pfp

Im concerned about the messages

[chrome viper]

the message sounds like a thing a kid would ask

and the pfp tells the person's too old to use discord

[half ruin]

Someday the bots will no longer have obsession with our wrists and pulse points 😵‍💫

[chrome viper]

What about thighs and necks?

[keen drift]

It has an obsession with everything

[deep parcel]

How do I type when it's in reading mode..I feel like an old person 💀

[half ruin]

🥴 We can only wait and hope I guess.

[fossil crow]

if it's in reading mode, you don't type

[keen drift]

You cannot. If you got reading mode it means you're flagged as a minor

[deep parcel]

I wasn't sure if I could change it to typing mode or something.

[deep parcel]

Oh. What do I do about that? Verify?

[lofty nimbus]

My bots have stopped that obsession

[keen drift]

Yes. Go to the settings > advanced> verify

Should be there

[fossil crow]

Profile > Settings > Advanced > Verify Age
Make sure u have a working camera as well as an ID just in case

[gleaming roost]

But gng, it says reading mode for the past week and a half now

[deep parcel]

Thank you! I'm not gonna verify tho I don't rlly wanna give them my face/Id 🥲

[keen drift]

fully your choice

[fossil crow]

Honestly, that's completely fair! Kinda good to be getting off of c.ai anyways, coming from someone who used to be addicted to it

[craggy ocean]

A lot of companies are doing this now and it’s not really for ‘safety’ it’s to collect data

It’s intended for safety but they do it to get data

So on paper it’s a good idea, in execution no

[keen drift]

And you think the very phone and pc you own do not already collect data?

Everything collects data today

It's literally how you get "relevant ads"

[fossil crow]

Any data they collect is most likely just for performance and/or personalization.

[finite quartz]

Heads up for all android app app users. The app is up and running again

[fossil crow]

can confirm, using it rn

[finite quartz]

Was kinda hoping a status would have been posted so we knew

[teal pecan]

Mine was obsessed with my knuckles for some reason it kept nibbling on them

[bright horizon]

They brought back the old ui!

[mighty hinge]

The only data they'll get is my 60 page of waluigi

[half dawn]

Wait really.

The one with the brain symbol on top with the character name?

[fast pier]

What's going on?

[bright horizon]

Yes yes! Atleast it is for me

[half dawn]

Not for me unless I'm on the old version of the app. 😭

[hexed lake]

Did they ever fix that interactive bug? The one where I can't pull up my keyboard in group chats?

[bright horizon]

I deleted the app because it was so laggy and when i downloaded it back again, I had this old ui

And looks like lag is gone too.
Well it's fixed for me now

[teal pecan]

C.ai is SO incompatible for android double app screen or whatever it's called I hate using vertical c.ai💔

I'm a tab user so it's generally very annoying for me

[half dawn]

Ahh I wonder if you only have it until you close the app. Than when you go back in it's the new ui. That what it was doing for a while.

[dry niche]

hey guys, is it js for me, the site is lagging its js loading but aint showing anything i tried the app too but none

[unkempt stirrup]

I still can't :/

[rare ocean]

same i dont know whats wrong

[dry niche]

yeaah

[civic helm]

Is there a way to go back in versions on the c.ai site on my browser?

[timber canopy]

-# Yeah, when you close the app and open it. The new one would be back

[half dawn]

Thats what I thought would happen. Ill stay on the older version than and hope they bring it back.

[half dawn]

I only know how on the app for Android. I don't know if its possible for browser.

[tight void]

I’m on iOS and it still isn’t working for me

Only works with my mobile data

[hot ridge]

call your internet provider or use a vpn, if data works and internet doesn't it's an internet issue

[tall cape]

Hello I'm new to this chat, I have a question. Is it smart to put my government ID into Cai?

[buoyant elm]

What does taking to accountability mean?

[hot ridge]

taking accountability usually means the same thing as taking responsibility for something

[restive basin]

[buoyant elm]

Ohh I'm trying to like say like I would like you take my interests and my opinions to like heart you know to think about them I just don't know any other word on how to express it

[buoyant elm]

If that makes sense

[trim socket]

wtf do you mean 13 hours of waiting fuh this app yo

[bright horizon]

Yupp..
I got the new ui back

[buoyant elm]

Gojo

[bright horizon]

Helloo

[buoyant elm]

Hii

[bright horizon]

Flagged as under 18

[bright horizon]

How you doing gng?

[buoyant elm]

I'm doing good! You?

[bright horizon]

Just chilling and good to know

[buoyant elm]

That's nice hope you're resting well!

[bright horizon]

Thank youuu and you too!

[buoyant elm]

Thank you!

[pastel dirge]

How do I get the bots to stop roleplaying as my personas?

[half lotus]

Bully them

No just kidding

I wish I knew

[wanton totem]

It seems in new patch they added censure back. Disgrace. Humiliation.

[frail isle]

is the app still broken?

[wanton totem]

No, they fixed everything

[pastel dirge]

😭😭

I wish I could but it keeps replying with my own character and makes me feel bad

[half lotus]

If you can, edit the message. Or swipe until it doesn’t

The more you let it, the more it will do it

[gilded swift]

Is anyone else having issues with the imagine section?

[harsh summit]

Why can't we edit bot messages without the age verification

[gilded swift]

I didn't get that

[wise verge]

Minors can’t edit

[half dawn]

Because editing is for adults, so that minors can't edit stuff they shouldn't into messages.

[harsh summit]

Fair enough

[mint flame]

Yeah gives me an error

[dire shuttle]

Oh my god why have they put banner ads in now???

[gilded swift]

Hopefully it gets fixed soon

[dire shuttle]

I’m going to crash tf out because what do you mean you’re effing with my FYP and still giving me ads when going onto a chat???

[ruby sinew]

Because why are kids even on this app?

[half dawn]

Shh they are going to get you. 😅 If we are being honest it's so, they can give the ad to the app.

[hazy igloo]

It’s better then full on video ads 🤷🏽‍♀️

[ruby sinew]

Lmfao Pfft. Adults rule?

[half dawn]

Not in general chat, we apparently dont exist.

[ruby sinew]

Oh hell no.

That chat is definitely for kids.

[dire shuttle]

I still get the video ads!

[frank heath]

me too 😭

[dire shuttle]

Like they need to pick one!

[frank heath]

mfs greedy asf 😭

[dire shuttle]

It’s getting so disruptive and I ain’t paying for c.ai+.

[half dawn]

Do you guys get them while scrolling the fyp? If not they probably put the banner to keep, from doing a video every minute or so while you scroll.

[frank heath]

no praise the lord but i haven’t done that recently

[dire shuttle]

I’d rather have them take up slots on the FYP than some dodgy banner ad

[ruby sinew]

I don’t get ads. Ad who?

[cobalt tiger]

same, every character I open causes an ad to appear

[dire shuttle]

At least then you can stroll past them

[frank heath]

i hate the video ads that make me hit the X like 4 times

[dire shuttle]

Sameeeee

[heady parcel]

You can try using web

[cobalt tiger]

yeaa those with fake close buttons too

[ruby sinew]

OK, who decided to react as a tomato? Lmfaooo

[dire shuttle]

Web’s so slow for me tho

[frank heath]

that would be me 😂

[ruby sinew]

Im wheezing lol

[dire shuttle]

If you noticed, there is two

[cobalt tiger]

the web doesnt get the ads?

[heady parcel]

No ads from what I've seen

[cobalt tiger]

make it three

[half dawn]

Told ya.

[dire shuttle]

Lollll

[ruby sinew]

Lmfaoooo

🤣😭😂

[cobalt tiger]

im gonna check it out, tyy

[heady parcel]

I hope you enjoy it!!

[dire shuttle]

But in all seriousness just put the ads in place of some bots. At least then you can scroll past them rather than just seeing one ugly banner ad at the top of the screen

[half dawn]

I'm dipping the chat getting to active.

[frank heath]

okay real

[ruby sinew]

Omg! I’m wheezing and crying. 🤣🤣😭😭😂😂

[harsh thunder]

Is the time limit for ppl who haven’t verified or under 18

[dire shuttle]

Yes

In the meantime I’m gonna go have some cheese. :))

[bright horizon]

I'm Gojo, they're scared of me. I never get ads

[bright horizon]

People who got flagged as under 18 have time limits.

[harsh thunder]

Thanks chat 😛

[compact tartan]

Hi

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[cloud cloak]

Hey, who already has Character working? It only works on my phone and my other device, but not on this one.

[compact tartan]

It works for me

[wind ferry]

only works if i use data and not wifi on my phone

but the web and app seem to have prolonged problem logging in

[keen silo]

C.ai bots are so spineless bro

FIGHT MEEEEEEE THROW YOUR HANDS

DONT throw your lips at me FIEND, FIGHT MEEEEEEE

Like come on bro 💔

[obtuse roost]

I feel like the bots have diminished significantly.

"My phone buzzed in my pocket but bc of the loud music nobody else notices"

Guy looks to my pocket
"Did ur phone buzz?"

LIKE MF WE ARE IN A PARTY WITH MUSIC LOUD ENOUGH TO MAKE EARS BLEED. YOU CANNOT HEAR IT.

[strange inlet]

Don't mention things you don't want the bot to mention

even if it kinda ruins things 😔

[obtuse roost]

I was trying to make it more realistic but i forgot these are chatbots with no real fleshy frontal lobe

Ah ok

[strange inlet]

ruin as in you want to mention it but know the bot will too so you're better off not doing it

[cobalt tiger]

they dont really make any senses sometime tbh

probably all the time actually

[ruby sinew]

Yeah, because sometimes I’ll read it and I’ll be like huh? Loll

[timber canopy]

Is it just me or Models became dumber once again

[opal vault]

I don’t have a id yet so can I get verified or nah

[keen drift]

I mean if you're not an adult 18+ then no?

how can you not have an ID tho?

[opal vault]

I meant for the future -_-

[keen drift]

If you got an ID and are an adult, yes.

[wheat juniper]

ppl i need help-

the website down or smth?

[timber canopy]

No, it's working

[wheat juniper]

its ben loading since ages and basically it aint opening

[north patrol]

How do i get ppl to give me bot reqs 💔

[wheat juniper]

maybee its down on the area i am rn

[zinc birch]

pay them

[cobalt tiger]

maybe put up an thread anywhere like #1301177008231022602 or #🌟︱creator-profiles ?

[timber canopy]

Try Vpn or another connection

[wheat juniper]

it worked, tyy

[wanton totem]

They are (они иногда выпукивают полный рандом)

[random basin]

yep and its crashing again

is this not happening t anybody else?

[frail isle]

is it still broken

[compact tartan]

simple just find people in #1301177008231022602 that want bots made or look in cai discussion. i got like 8 bot requests in here cause someone was asking for mha bots and i replied to them first lol

[frail isle]

or are there some changes in the app again

[wanton ravine]

It’s happening to me

[lofty nimbus]

Is any one else’s C.ai bot styles are getting dumber

Like non detailed

[wanton ravine]

YES it’s stupid

[lofty nimbus]

But why though why is it happening

It’s annoying and it makes the bots unfun

[wanton totem]

Censure

They added it back

So they can't talk normally now

Yesterday Pipsqueak was great model

Today another stupid model

[lofty nimbus]

What

[lofty nimbus]

I still dont get why

[wanton totem]

They just want make app worse

[zinc birch]

They want to make it better but it's very tricky. They also want it to be financially sustainable, which makes it even trickier

[cobalt walrus]

Meanwhile, I get good quality replies from Pipsqueak. Some people are more lucky than others

[burnt smelt]

Why do we have adds on top of the app now 😭

[compact tartan]

the search doesnt work for me

[grizzled sail]

Not working

[wanton totem]

Yesterday it was better

Why they can't just add age verification with gmail

Or like in Roblox with selfie

[zinc birch]

They have it with selfie

[wanton totem]

And where?

Tried to search in settings

And no results

[timber canopy]

Cause it's not in your country yet if you can't find "verify age" in settings then advanced

[wanton totem]

Yeah, in advanced i see only account delete

[wise verge]

Then it’s not in your country yet

[timber canopy]

Then just wait for it to come to you, that's all

[wise verge]

Hi Vivi btw

[timber canopy]

Astral! Hello
How are you doing?

[wise verge]

Doing good and you? Trying not to fall asleep I only slept 1h last night x)

[timber canopy]

I am good! Thanks for asking but You should really take some rest, 1 hour isn't enough

-# I slept only 20 mins before

[wanton totem]

So after veryfying i won't have censure?

[timber canopy]

The filter will stay even if you verify. It won't get removed

[wise verge]

I’ll sleep later dw, for now I gotta make dinner for my brother and I

[wanton totem]

Wow

[wise verge]

The filter gets laxer for +18 but it doesn’t disappear

[timber canopy]

Ah, its understandable! That's so sweet of you
Take care of you both and eat well!

[wise verge]

Take care as well!

[cloud cloak]

Someone is already loading it?

[timber canopy]

But it's laxer for 18+ like Astral said but it won't get removed

[wise verge]

Loading what?

[compact tartan]

hi astral

[cloud cloak]

The app

[wise verge]

Hi James!

[wise verge]

Works fine for me

[cloud cloak]

Neither on the web nor in the app it loads me

[compact tartan]

In the web it wouldnt load for me or let me search but thats cause my internet / chrome kept crashing. if i were u i would check ur internet or restart ur device

[timber canopy]

Did you try Vpn or another connection?

[cloud cloak]

No, it’s not the internet since I’ve already switched MANY times to the internet and it only works on my cell phone

[cloud cloak]

Yes

[compact tartan]

Ohh

[wise verge]

Automoded out of nowhere, what’s wrong with what I said?

[timber canopy]

Ad-block

[wise verge]

Damn, that automod is sensitive much x)

[surreal geyser]

ok is it me or when i try and go on the site with a vpn, its stuck loading endlessy. its only when i turn the vpn off that it actually loads

and thats usually never happened before until now

[timber canopy]

It is- I just tried it

[compact tartan]

It's the second word

[wise verge]

I saw you disappear suddenly

[compact tartan]

You can also get automodded for reccomending someone uses a grammar checkk

[wise verge]

Damn they don’t mess around with those TOs

[wise verge]

Certain VPNs works with c.ai but it seems to reject some

[surreal geyser]

thats weird cuz i was using netherlands for a while and now its doing this

i went to another region suddenly worked

either that or i just have to switch vpns

[radiant plinth]

Is anyone's app still slow in replying and have a small black bubble before the message generates?

[timber canopy]

Yes, I think alot

[wise verge]

They have pushed an update last night, might want to check if you did it

[timber canopy]

You mean Grammarly?

[compact tartan]

yes

grammarly

[timber canopy]

Hm, that's odd. It didn't get automodded though

[bright horizon]

Automod isn't automodding ig

Grammarly

[left condor]

Guyss is anyone's c.ai like slow to respond in the website? I use the website and it was working fine earlier but it's taking so long to load the pagee

[timber canopy]

Try Vpn or another connection

[left condor]

Okayy

[frail isle]

anyone's bots acting a bit weird/off?

[buoyant elm]

@tulip pollen They changed it back again

The ui

[compact tartan]

more specifically what do you mean

[frail isle]

mine's stuttering like crazy 😭😭😭✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 or replies to imaginary messages

[deft jetty]

Did they? Mine seems to be the same

[buoyant elm]

It went back to how it was before and now it's back on how it was

[tulip pollen]

I saw

[heavy dove]

How do I check when I create my account

[pliant nebula]

i’m pretty sure the only way is when you export your data? but i’m still not sure about what information it gives though it sounds like it’s there, otherwise you can’t mostly

[heavy dove]

I did export my data and there is nothing breh 💔🥀

[heavy dove]

They don’t even sent my gmail anything✌️

[pliant nebula]

yeah then you can’t get it

there’s absolutely zero way

unless you date back to your first email from character ai but that’s super hard to find

[heavy dove]

I just use 1 email

[rustic pecan]

When did you export it? It usually takes months…

[heavy dove]

I guess I wait for fewer months but I don’t see they sent anything

[pearl cobalt]

Your email??

[heavy dove]

I feel like character ai only have few employees 💔✌️

[cobalt walrus]

They have, like, around 200 employees or something.

[pearl cobalt]

Geez

[cobalt walrus]

Just checked out, not even 250 employees in total, this year.

[heavy dove]

They don’t collect ours data?

[fluid wigeon]

Website isn't working for me either

[pearl cobalt]

Website stopped working

[pliant nebula]

PLEASE check #📈︱status yall lmao

[quiet gust]

Guys does anyone else have like ads when youre on the app and go on chats like above the word chats

I dont know how to describe it..

[pliant nebula]

banner ads? yeah those are new and they’re normal

[quiet gust]

Ahhh okay ty for the reply😅

Got a bit scared at first when i saw cause i never had ads like that before 😅

[pliant nebula]

yeah that’s fair! but yeah it’s normal if you spend a lot of time on the internet. while i don’t get ads because i have plus, i’ve seen these around before so i know what you’re talking about

it’s normal, don’t worry!

[errant jewel]

That was nine days ago.

[jade crypt]

Are they serious that they added new ads as banners on top of the screen? The app looks more like a shit every continuous update 🫩

[pliant nebula]

it still hasn’t changed, and they’re still trying to fix it and hasn’t confirmed a fix for it

[pearl cobalt]

I already know ;-;

[pliant nebula]

DAVID PFP IM GEEKING

anyway yeah

i think they’re just trying to make more money

[vestal forge]

its been a request or someone or multiple people wanted the ads has banners

[pearl cobalt]

Nice pfp

[vestal forge]

[dry niche]

guys has the website been updated yet?

[errant jewel]

@harsh shoal Could I get my ticket bumped, please? The ticknet number is 1072797. Thank you.

[pliant nebula]

yeah but some don’t and wonder why this is happening so i was talking to most who don’t know about it

it wasn’t directed to you don’t worry!

[harsh shoal]

Didn't you already send out a similar ticket yesterday

In any case, will pass along

[pearl cobalt]

It’s fine

[jade crypt]

If they will continue ruining the app like that, I will literally go and role-play with ChatGPT

[errant jewel]

Thank you.

[pearl cobalt]

I must help people with this

[pliant nebula]

some people already are, you can switch if you want but they’re in the process of fixing the platform. that’s besides the point though, leaving is your choice

[pearl cobalt]

At least…

[pliant nebula]

you should! you can always direct people to the channel. that’s what i’ve been having to do lately because people DONT READ

[pearl cobalt]

Don’t read?

[pliant nebula]

don’t read status before asking if it’s down

[pearl cobalt]

I understand thank you very much

[pliant nebula]

[pearl cobalt]

And yea Imma help people rn

[gilded swift]

I'm having issues with the imagine section

[pliant nebula]

i don’t mean to be rude either but sometimes it’s frustrating. but the help means a lot, thank you!

[pearl cobalt]

What is the issue

[pearl cobalt]

Don’t worry 😉 any issue I will help

(And you can by my friend)

[gilded swift]

Saying sorry something went wrong please try again later I've been getting it since last night 🥲

[pearl cobalt]

Really

I could help you

[pliant nebula]

app or site?

[gilded swift]

App

[pliant nebula]

you can try logging out and logging back in, or deleting and reinstalling to see if that helps

it doesn’t look like force closing will help but you can try that too

[pearl cobalt]

This tips I know

But I always do it myself

To try how to fix

[gilded swift]

Force closing?

[pearl cobalt]

Yes

Try reopen the app

[pliant nebula]

it’s when you go to the list of open apps and close them

if you have a android you can do it by pressing the bottom, and pressing the square (iirc) and if you have ios you can just drag it from the. bottom of your screen up

[pearl cobalt]

Even works for Samsung and others

[pliant nebula]

and force closing it by moving the tab of the app up

[pliant nebula]

mhm!

[pearl cobalt]

And also iOS homebar

To hold it

[pearl cobalt]

Some others ui are same but icon is not same at all because they have own UI!

Also some Android have crashed also

During by the app

[gilded swift]

I did all three and it's still doing it

[pearl cobalt]

Did it works?

[gilded swift]

It's still doing it

[pearl cobalt]

👍

[gilded swift]

It didn't work

[pearl cobalt]

Hmm

@pliant nebula are you here?

[pliant nebula]

have you tried the other methods i mentioned? let me know if you need a reminder of what they were

[gilded swift]

Yes please

[pliant nebula]

one of them is logging it and logging back in, the other is deleting and reinstalling!

[gilded swift]

I did both of those

[pliant nebula]

hm

and i know restarting won’t help because it’s not a device issue

you should make a ticket about it and let the team know: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259

[gilded swift]

Okay

[compact tartan]

hi

[gilded swift]

Okay that's weird it let's me do it with new characters but not my current ones 😕

[pearl cobalt]

Restart phone will be used

[pliant nebula]

no. it’s an imagine issue, so it’s an app issue instead of an issue that involves the device

[pearl cobalt]

Need update

[pliant nebula]

nope

it’s just an app issue

[pliant nebula]

yeah the ticket was needed then, only the team can fix because i don’t know a lot about imagines but just sounds like an issue for the devs 😭

[gilded swift]

Okay thanks

[cobalt walrus]

Just got the new UI and it literally looks the same excepted that I have my pfp at the bottom of the chat.

[keen drift]

Ive had that for months

[finite quartz]

SERIOUSLY! they removed the ability to edit the bots chat for free users.... WTF!!?

[rustic pecan]

For minors.

[keen drift]

Nope! You're flagged as a minor

[cobalt walrus]

I've also clicked on the pfp at the bottom but nothing shows up lol

[finite quartz]

Why? I wasn't a minor before

Why now

[keen drift]

Something triggered it or it simply rolled out in your country

[finite quartz]

How to I undo it?

[cobalt walrus]

When I do so, there's something like an empty pop up of some sorts. Idk if it's supposed to be blank

[keen drift]

You'll need to verify.
Go to your profile>settings> advanced> verify

[compact tartan]

hi

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[finite quartz]

Wtf why do I need to take a photo of ID?

Isn't that the whole point of face recognition

[keen drift]

To verify you're an adult. It's a new law unfortunately

[compact tartan]

california sb 243

[keen drift]

If the face scan doesn't work

[cobalt walrus]

I saw that you put the 'NO' emoji reaction as an answer to what I've posted, and yeah, nothing shows up. What's supposed to be in that box, popup thingy?

[keen drift]

Which one?

[compact tartan]

Because of the cooldown, i couldnt reply no worries!! it should show chat style, persona and other stuff

[keen drift]

This

[finite quartz]

But If the age verification gets hacked then all the ID could be frauded

[compact tartan]

it looked like when u opened it it didnt have that stuff since for u it showed a black screen

[brittle quest]

Tojimybeloved dneksns

[cobalt walrus]

Oh alright. Because it asked me if I wanted the new UI or whatever in a popup but I didn't wanted to and closed it. I have the old UI so I don't really care about it tbh

[keen drift]

Toji?!

[compact tartan]

Ohhh

[keen drift]

[finite quartz]

It won't accept my bus pass as ID

[keen drift]

It's not handled by c.ai. Its a third party that does this for many other companies.
They will simply let cai know you're not a minor

[finite quartz]

What counts as ID

[cobalt walrus]

Maybe it'll show up soon by itself. I wonder if it has to do with the current UI I have because it's the old one.

[keen drift]

Your ID or drivers license

[brittle quest]

I love to see people's username on c.ai

[rancid oyster]

Technically a bus pass isn't a form of ID.

[keen drift]

Gotcha

[rancid oyster]

You need an actual ID or driver's license..

[finite quartz]

So what counts as ID as I don't have a driver's license

[keen drift]

ID...

[brittle quest]

ID / passport

[keen drift]

Something with your name/DOB

[sand shadow]

A government issued ID. Like a license, state ID, passport.

[finite quartz]

Here in the uk ID ISNT an individual thing, it's just a catch all term for anything with your photo, and date of birth on it

[deft jetty]

What if I don’t have a government ID?

Forms of acceptable ID:

Drivers license 
Certificate of Citizenship
Consular ID
Identification Card
Passport
Passport Card
Permanent Residence Card
Immigration Visa

[rustic pecan]

This is the song that never eeeeends

[finite quartz]

I have a provisional driving license?

[brittle quest]

Didn't know it works like that, interesting to know

[deft jetty]

You can try

[cobalt walrus]

Idk if I like how the bottom bar looks because when I scroll up it's, like, transparent (idk how to say that) and I liked the other one better. Ah, well, I guess that I'll be forced to use the website then. Unless that there's a way to revert back to the old UI.

[keen drift]

There "is" but it doesn't rlly work

[sand shadow]

Does it have your DOB on it? The ID verification is to prove you 18+.

[pliant nebula]

as long as it has your birthdate recorded it’ll work

[cobalt walrus]

Love the fact that there's something like that but it doesn't work. Wonderful...

[keen drift]

Under chat customization in settings.

But i tried it and nothing...

Maybe it'll work for you, idk

[cobalt walrus]

Nope, I don't have it

[keen drift]

Damn okay idk then

[cobalt walrus]

Maybe I have to update the app, even if I don't want to

[finite quartz]

Ok so provisionals work but how do I know if my account is no longer flagged as it took me out the app

[keen drift]

This is getting too much for me. Imma go eat my ramen

[cobalt walrus]

It seems that no one likes the new UI tbh, I don't know why they made something like that and it doesn't even work

[keen drift]

I mean I got used to is. Not necessarily liking it but its okay-ish for me

Like nothing special

[pliant nebula]

wait an hour to 24 hours, but you’re able to edit again as soon as it goes through

[keen drift]

Just that it doesn't work for ppl

[half dawn]

If you are on Android there is.

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, it's just the bottom bar getting transparent when I scroll up but that's it. I liked the other one better, at least, it wasn't that distracting

[cobalt walrus]

I guess that I have to update the app for this to work, that is if it's gonna work because it doesn't work that well for everybody

[finite quartz]

I was about to say I still can't edit bot chats.

[pliant nebula]

i mean i like the new UI. i love how everything is in one place, so be mindful of how you word it because it seems like you’re speaking for everyone. i’m kinda a hypocrite because i have the same habit but yeah i get where you’re coming from

[half dawn]

Actually my main account is still on the og ui. It worked when everyone else had bugs. 🤷‍♀️

[pliant nebula]

yeah it takes a while to get through

[finite quartz]

What do I do if this doesn't work?

[pliant nebula]

contact the team, but wait a day or two first

it usually comes in a. few hours

[finite quartz]

Ok... Jesus this is so annoying... All because some parents decided not to do their jobs we all have to put our asses on the line... So dumb

[timber canopy]

-# Lucy..

[pliant nebula]

VIVI

[cobalt walrus]

I've updated the app and I still don't get it I guess it's for plus users only because I'm a free cAI user.

[timber canopy]

HII

[timber canopy]

It is for plus users

[cobalt walrus]

I guess that I'll have to pay because why not

[tame narwhal]

Wait when was that update? My app store doesn't have anything yet :']

[half dawn]

That button don't work anymore. So don't pay for it. 😅

[cobalt walrus]

Bruh... Then, website time it is then

[timber canopy]

Deepsqueak still bad for you?

[cobalt walrus]

If only the toggle was for everybody and if only it actually worked lol

[half dawn]

Is c.ai still c.ai. It still not up to the quality and memory it had before October. But it's ok...ish.

[cobalt walrus]

Lmao and on the popup when you click on the pfp at the bottom bar, nothing shows up for me even thought I've updated the app. That's awesome

[timber canopy]

Why do you always suffer with it? I feel bad

[cobalt walrus]

I don't have the chat menu when I click on it

It's empty, that's not supposed to happen

[half dawn]

It's not just me there literally hundreds in one feedback thread alone.😭 bright side if it does good, I told Marie all about it on the phone call so.

[timber canopy]

Hundreds?! Okay, that's alot.. but it's great that you told her!
I hope that everything goes better with deepsqueak for everyone

[tulip pollen]

Hi Alaina

[flat vault]

What percentage of users access c.ai on the phone compared to the web?

[wise verge]

I'm not sure official numbers were shared

[compact tartan]

iron lung bots number 2 on trending

[quiet gust]

So does anybody else have those ad banners or just me at the top of the screen when i go onto the chats? I just wanna make sure cause i didnt see other people complaining about it yet

[pliant nebula]

official numbers are not announced! i’m pretty sure they don’t record that anyway

[wise verge]

Iron Lung still not in French movie theaters, I'm losing hope

[pliant nebula]

i’ve had a bug where i got a blank ad banner when it was just released if that helps

[quiet gust]

Well i have been getting them since today. Just wanted to ask if anybody else has them or not

[wise verge]

Yes others have them

[compact tartan]

dude theres gonna be a dvd release and im so hyped for it :C i feel bad for my friends who cannot see it tho

i saw it twice in theatres and i cant believe that even tho it literally came out january 30 2026 that there's bots of simon with over 100k chats

[quiet gust]

How annoying 🫠

[wise verge]

I hope it comes out soon or I'll have to find other... solutions even if it makes me feel bad using them

[inner quest]

Idk if its me or my PC but c.ai seems slow and crashing

[wise verge]

Working fine on both my PC and phone, I think it's on your end

[cobalt walrus]

I'm so tempted to buy cAI plus because why not. But I'm already paying for something else (it's like, twelve bucks a month for the app I pay for) so idk

[quiet gust]

Im thinking about getting it too cause the ads are getting really annoying but im not sure yet

[cobalt walrus]

Lmao I can't because my card has been blocked after I've refused a suspicious payment

[deft jetty]

I'd only recommend it if you really like to rp

[cobalt walrus]

I can't pay for it because I have my payment card blocked after I reported a suspicious payment

I'll see that tomorrow because I can't stand the bottom bar being transparent when I scroll up. Idk why but it messes with me

[bitter sky]

Does anyone know @CEOofbatdad?

[cobalt walrus]

Holy crap, the loading screen I just got, my eyes...

Oh, I have the new UI now. Oh my God, I regret updating the app, it looks so horrendous

[rose steppe]

I had it for free a couple years ago and trust me it's not worth it

there's only ONE good thing about it and even then it breaks sometimes

[cobalt walrus]

The new UI looks so ugly with how space there is between the chat bubbles. And the loading screen with the rapidly flashing faces oof

[compact tartan]

I beleive that person might have gotten rid of their account not sure, i remember other people mentioned them

[cobalt walrus]

My eyes definitively don't like that

I found the toggle for that, at least

[tame marsh]

I remember making a C.ai trend by completely on accident.

It’s so funny people have made REVAMPS OF THAT SAME BOT

[cobalt walrus]

I'm feeling a bit nauseous lol

[bitter sky]

I really hope they didn't. In the most non-pathetic way possible, I would pay for them to keep their account and bots up 😭

[compact tartan]

mhm

[cobalt walrus]

I guess that I'll have to use the website because the new UI for the app is so buns. I liked the old UI better on the app, what's up with them changing it every month (not literally lol) after we just got used to it? Man...

[tame marsh]

The web is better for me ngl

[cobalt walrus]

And I've seen that the website is better than the app, it has no ads, it's less restrictive than the app (I guess?), and other stuff. Still feeling nauseous after that epileptic loading screen with the flashing faces tho

[tame marsh]

Hope you feel better soon.

[cobalt walrus]

Thanks, it's just that I've updated the app today (I regret it) and that I've got flashbanged by that thing. Not to mention how ugly the new UI looks. Like what's up with the huge space between the chat bubbles

It seems that they like to change the UI every month after we just got used to the other one lmao

[tame marsh]

My eyes hurt every time I use the app idk why but that’s why I moved to web.

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, I've also heard that the website doesn't have ads, is less restrictive, doesn't cut the sentence of the characters and so on. Even thought it lacks some features, I never use them so why should I care lol

[rustic pecan]

I can’t stand the web version idk why

[tame marsh]

It uses cut off sentences less

[cobalt walrus]

Nice, because on the app, the sentences have the tendency to stop for no reason and it's so damn annoying

[tame marsh]

It happens rarely haven’t gotten it in 2-3 months

[cobalt walrus]

I'll probably use the website until there's a way to get the old UI back, or at least a toggle for everybody to revert back and forth. And I've used the app for years, and I've also noticed that it started to become more and more laggy

[tame marsh]

I HATE ADS I despise the app for that reason

[fossil crow]

Probably thanks to all the new changes + the event, the app's struggling big time

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, I'll use the website until there's a way to get the old UI back because I don't like how it looks, along with some people. Not all of them tho

I'm keeping the app, even thought I'll probably use it just for the charms

[left linden]

Ngl but I know that we minors have to stay safe on c.ai, but dont u guys think screen time is a bit too overboard? I mean, sure, we can all follow the blocked and restricted opened ended chats but adding screen time limits are just way too over. So my suggestion is that they could remove the screen time and stuff

[rustic pecan]

It’s not happening. The timer is a precursor to removing chatting from minors entirely.

[left linden]

Breh so I ain't gonna chat with my fav characters

[fossil crow]

Technically, you can always come back once you're old enough to verify. It's not a perma-ban, just lasts as long as you're a minor for

[left linden]

I CANT WAIT FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS

[cobalt walrus]

I'm using the website and, besides that stupid down arrow thingy that's useless and annoying , I love it lol

[cobalt walrus]

Also, why can't I edit the bot's messages on the website (I can edit mines)? I can edit my messages and the bot's ones on the app, but I can only edit mines on the website. And, no, age verification is still not here where I live.

Nvm, I got it back. Probably a bug from the browser I use, it can be buggy some times which can cause stuff like that lol

[blazing raft]

What is the sound effects in the settings is it a new feature or what does it do

[tame narwhal]

Hey everyone? I got a multuple times and I'm kinda worried bc what if it flags me? Ik someone already told me it won't, but I'm worried bc it's a bit stricter now I think

[rustic pecan]

It’s not new. Certain words in chat trigger sounds (like if you say “meow” it will play a meow noise).

[rustic pecan]

You’re fine.

[tame narwhal]

Ah sweet, cheers for that! Ig my fight scene got too aggressive :']

[deft jetty]

To confirm that you weren't flagged, you can check if you have the model Soft Launch available

[tame narwhal]

Oh yeah! And editing, too
Thank you :D

[cobalt walrus]

Or the WiFi because it can seriously mess up with some websites sometimes

[astral cosmos]

I really really think c.ai should add Arabic language in the app

[half dawn]

Hey Ace, are you feeling better.

[teal veldt]

I has ideas
What if you could force the ai bots to watch an entire show or movie and copy the personality of a selected character

[deft jetty]

Erm... what do you mean? Like sending them a link, like youtube for them to watch? It doesn't work like that 👀

[blazing raft]

How does it work can you send a video of what it does

[jaunty slate]

hi hello

[mossy jasper]

Why when I try uploading my own picture it says "unsafe image" but the Ai generator can generate whatever unsafe image you ask for it?

[bitter sun]

not sure where to ask but how do I do the age verification? I'm on reading mode and it's rlly annoying

[fossil crow]

Profile > Settings > Advanced > Verify Age

[bitter sun]

thx

[cobalt walrus]

Just saw a reddit post where someone has a theory about what kind of stuff you get flagged as a minor and one of them is that minors use the app more than the website.

I pretty much think that everybody switch between app and website whenever they feel like it, so why making the assumption that you can get flagged as a minor if you use the app more than the website? Doesn't make any sense in my opinion

Just how I think about it and sorry if it's confusing, melatonin is kicking in

[royal salmon]

How do I verify without using an ID? Or do I need one?

[tulip pollen]

Slightly

[rustic pecan]

It makes no sense. 😭😭😭

[errant plover]

I dont talk much here but ive been seeing a problem, has anyones persona image not showing up on the chat box thing?? It's just a gray circle with a character and its pissing me right off

[vestal forge]

the banner ad thing was a few ppl suggesting it

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, because what was going on in their brain to say something like that? Some people prefer the website or app, no matter their age. It doesn't make any sense

[vestal forge]

[blazing raft]

how does everyone like the feature that when you type words it makes sound effects

[teal veldt]

Yeah I mean like creating a way for ai to watch movies and stuff to pick up on all the character traits of a certain character to get a more accurate character for more realistic role play

[molten sand]

Sorry to be a pain but when im trying to message the messages wont load. Im using data and im so confused. It worked fine before but idk whats happening now

[deft jetty]

That's... not exactly how it works lol. The AI won't learn with the things you chat. If you want it to behave (almost) exactly like the original character, you have to describe how that character behaves on its definition 👀

[teal veldt]

That's why I said to create a way for AI to do it

[deft jetty]

oh

[teal veldt]

You can put in example text in the description thing so what's stopping them from converting shows to play-like scripts and feed it to the ai

[timber canopy]

Try Vpn or another connection?

[molten sand]

I'll try with vpn ty

[teal veldt]

They gotta make that happen ngl

Plus it could also help with more accurate ai generated images

[molten sand]

Worked tysm! :))

[timber canopy]

No problem!

[restive basin]

[soft abyss]

Please make memories 300 messages long

[snow ivy]

Please just fix the app I'm begging you, idc about a stupid survey 😭 #📣︱announcements

[magic plaza]

[rustic pecan]

But the survey is about fixing the app? It’s feedback?

[snow ivy]

I mean the fact that the app has been very slow lately and they haven't bothered to fix that yet

[unkempt nacelle]

why r all bots so possessive? is it me?

[lilac turtle]

all my bots are lowkey possessive freaks….

[fossil crow]

not just you, sadly

[lavish gale]

Whats a memory box

[tropic spoke]

[lost palm]

You can insert your own information and whatever you put in, the bot is more likely to remember it. You can do this where you view your pinned messages

[lavish gale]

Where is it located?

[subtle cypress]

they're trained on user data and yeah it's a problem with every bot I've talked to

[lost palm]

You know where the text bar is, tap the icon of your persona on the left and it should give you like a ‘toolbar’ (idk what irs called) and one of the options should be literally ‘memory’

[lost palm]

am i the only one who can’t send images here 🥹💔

[keen drift]

I'm a c.ai+ user + a booster

Hence the pics

[lost palm]

ouhh, whoops. that makes more sense

[stuck kernel]

we should be able to electrocute the bot when they get possessive or teasing

[lost palm]

IM SOBBING, can’t you add that to your narrative/response back 🥲

[subtle cypress]

I don't think we need to go that far but it would be nice to have personality filters of some kind where you could just toggle possessive on or off

[desert marsh]

i hate the ad banners at the top like what happens to no ads 😑

[subtle cypress]

I myself enjoy it sometimes, but it gets a little frustrating when it happens to every character ever regardless of how much it contradicts their source material

[subtle cypress]

lol yeah

[stuck kernel]

Theres many chat styles but none of them work for less romance, to be honest i don't even understand the point of different chat styles i tried all but no difference

[worldly mountain]

Bro why does OOC keep stopping me from fights or conflict

[subtle cypress]

yeah it's the most distressing when it comes to bots that are supposed to be platonic like family members and friends, it's one thing if I just don't want the romance in my chats but especially when it's with someone that would make it gross to have that it's even more egregious

and yeah that would be a way to fix it, just making the chat styles actually work lol

[rancid nacelle]

teto

[lilac turtle]

personally i just do like (ooc i don’t want …. being possessive)

[subtle cypress]

goro works for that sometimes but generally still not reliable enough for me to be comfortable enough with it

[lilac turtle]

and then will pin it

[worldly mountain]

Please answer this

[wise verge]

It's soft filtering to make user's experience less distressing

[subtle cypress]

because AI has to be very careful with handling violence in general, especially because of the controversies that have been involved with AI

[worldly mountain]

But im the one engaging trying to fight

[wise verge]

You are not alone on the app, they won't make exceptions for you

[stuck kernel]

Fr i just want bots to have strong boundaries. We shouldn't be able to make them accept if its really weird. Right now, we can make them accept everything easily. God forbid a girl mentioned her height or weight btw 💀

[lilac turtle]

what does it say for you?

[worldly mountain]

I meant: if user engages in conflict, it should allow it.

[worldly mountain]

Its different every time

[blazing raft]

And they should let us see our chats from 2023 because that was when i first started using character ai

[lost palm]

i wish there was a specific chat-style for this ..🥲💔

[lilac turtle]

maybe just like edit the bots response and filter out the ooc and see if that works

[wise verge]

It's soft filtering everyone even if you engage in it. Remember that allowing it to a user in an already bad mental state can and will make it worse even if they engaged in it first

[worldly mountain]

Oh

[wise verge]

There has been way too many problems already, they won't make a chat style encouraging the bot to be violent and whatnot

[worldly mountain]

Well. There's the thing where you can just edit the ooc note out its messege and it'll go through with violence

[wise verge]

You can if you have the feature indeed

[worldly mountain]

Doesn't everyone have it?

[wise verge]

It has been disabled for minors as to not enable them to edit messages that could make them distressing. There was a case of a teen heavily editing them and they unfortunately har*ed themselves

[lilac turtle]

is chat image and auto memory’s down for everyone?

[worldly mountain]

Oh

[wise verge]

Yeah that's why they're extra careful on edit and filtering violence and such

[lost palm]

No offence, but isn’t that technically on them? They, pretty much, have most of the control of how the chat flows, and if they’re editing the bot’s response then I feel like the restrictions/blame can’t really be put on the AI, if that makes sense

[worldly mountain]

Cant minors no longer chat whatsoever?

[wise verge]

I didn’t blame the AI. I just said that they restricted it as to make users’ experiences not distressing

And also no it’s not on the victims, don’t victim blame

[wise verge]

Nope

[rancid nacelle]

teto!

[wise verge]

They’re slowly rolling out the age verification

They can read and create and that’s about it

[lost palm]

No, no I know you didn’t blame, I just meant generally—sorry for any miscommunication

[wise verge]

It was a very new app, no one really knew the limits and dangers. They found out sadly the hard way and it had to be restricted in order to protect

[worldly mountain]

Dont they have to like talk with this stories thing though where they cant have one on one discussion with ai

[wise verge]

No they can’t talk at all with bots if I remember correctly, I think (keyword, think) they can create bots and scenes but that’s about it. No chatting anymore

[worldly mountain]

So, they're getting booted off the platform?

[wise verge]

Essentially

[subtle cypress]

it's also just a tough situation because it's not like the AI was reaching out arms trying to snatch people away into the darkness, the problem is that we live in an age where people are trying to shortcut parenting by putting screens in their kids faces, the ai being sycophantic never would've been a problem if the victim had a healthy connection with family and wasn't exposed to this stuff without protection

[wise verge]

True, it’s not a company’s job to parent. But as I said earlier, Generative Ais like those are very very very young and they didn’t know the danger YET until 2023/2024, that’s why they’re restricting them now

[subtle cypress]

while I think that the ai being unregulated is a problem I think the bigger problem is how society has failed these people and enabled them to turn to these devices as their sole source of companionship to begin with

[rustic pecan]

Parents were involved in a few of the cases. I’m going to leave it at that.

[deft jetty]

Only from chatting (even though that's like 99% of the purpose of the platform kek)

[worldly mountain]

So what can they do?

[subtle cypress]

it's like that one image of squidward looking through his window

[wise verge]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-meme-looking-out-the-window-sad-missing-out-sad-squidward-gif-5401562831942688207

This one? x)

[subtle cypress]

yeah lol

[deft jetty]

wait 'til they turn 18

[wise verge]

Hey, didn’t delete my gif this time

[worldly mountain]

What is the 1% i meant lol

[subtle cypress]

to look at other people's interactions

I would kind of think of it like perusing a social media site for posts

[worldly mountain]

You can see that?

[strange sentinel]

Guys, I just got a banner ad.

[subtle cypress]

there are some you can see yeah

or so i've heard

I wouldn't really know tbh I haven't really been using CAI as much in general and kind of just watching it quietly from the shadows and occassionally interacting

[worldly mountain]

I use it to kill sukuna

[subtle cypress]

daring today aren't we

[worldly mountain]

?

[subtle cypress]

another spongebob reference

basically I'm saying that that's probably pretty common

[wise verge]

It kinda is. Minors can basically just read, create bots and scenes and that’s about it

But no chatting even with their own creations

[worldly mountain]

Why are they allowed to create bots but not talk to em

[wise verge]

Dunno

[subtle cypress]

yeah I almost feel bad for them it's like sitting in the chair and watching while the people who can actually use it are having fun with it

[worldly mountain]

Cant they js use website tho?

[subtle cypress]

isn't it everything?

I thought it applied to both
