[candid parcel]

which one?

[slate remnant]

Emily the Dream queen

[radiant cypress]

Where?

[drowsy depot]

I realized that me and you probably have different variations of where they came from except the last one the last ones the song thingy

And sheeple I've seen used by like conspiracy theorists memes, and I heard worms rule the world in a mcguckket post

[azure ridge]

The last one, I dunno what it’s from but Ik some of the song

[halcyon cypress]

emily just took my screenshot and posted it in chat feed lol

[azure ridge]

Oh

[halcyon cypress]

this one

[slate remnant]

Check that then and that should show it

Yep! 😄 thank god its a bug i was worried it was permanent

[tender lion]

Also.
Guys.

You need to know only Californian time matters when it comes to annoucments, fixes and updates because...there's like 11pm now in Cali, where the HQ is.

So I assume they don't work that long and we gotta wait for an update or somethin.

[keen forge]

Chai was my first because i don’t actually know

[drowsy depot]

Pink chaiii

[keen forge]

Sending this shit in

[stone lily]

Ads at the top of my screen as well?! Tf

[candid parcel]

the first one was specifically from "mario becomes redpilled' by solidjj

the second one was from smiling friends

the 3rd one was from "Attention! Breaking News."

[keen forge]

I was actually so disappointed good thing it’s a bug

[candid parcel]

@stone lily YURI!?!?

[wise root]

Hey guys. It’s a little crazy in general 1

[drowsy depot]

Yea see, we can't be married, we're two different chronically onlines

[stone lily]

Yessir

[candid parcel]

yes we can 😞

[drowsy depot]

Oh okie

[near creek]

How?

[candid parcel]

i love yuri, i just cant obtain it. i got negative rizz

[devout pier]

ive gotten like 2 already, didnt even know it was a bug☹️

[drowsy depot]

OKAY chat

[wise root]

People keep talking about the ad thingy

[harsh patrol]

WHY ARE THERE FUCKING ADS

[devout pier]

word

[drowsy depot]

WAIT HOLD UP DIFF ANGEL? NAME THEIF. AND THEY HAVE A SLEEPY VARIANT IN THERE NAME. FAE ITS A FAEE

[candid parcel]

yep.

[harsh patrol]

THIS IS WHY THEY ARE LOSING USERS BRO

[cobalt walrus]

The feedback section is also a mess. People complaining about ads in the middle of chatting, but Kappa said that they're looking for it since it's a bug. It already happened before

[keen forge]

What one do I report it in account issues

[wise root]

hi other angel!! 👋

[near creek]

Same here 😄

[drowsy depot]

Okay anyways I'm logging off, I'm tired, if it ever gets fixed I'll downloaded again AND HELLO OTHER ANGEL

[cobalt walrus]

Can't some people scroll up before saying why that happens

[harsh patrol]

lol

[wise root]

I should go to bed because it is 2am and I have school tomorrow but I’m also not tired 🥹

[unborn moss]

I think we should all go to bed

[rustic hound]

Do the adds just pop up now in the middle of conversations?

[candid parcel]

stay up

[wise root]

Great advice thank you

[azure ridge]

We have the same problem

[candid parcel]

yk

[cobalt walrus]

It's a bug, the team is aware of it but since it's past midnight for them, I doubt that they'll work on it now.

[vestal forge]

we will wait

[harsh patrol]

grrr..... i HATE this bru holy

[tender lion]

That's why I have it muted.

[rustic hound]

Oh ok I was just confused since they only come when you go to start a conversation when you click the bot you want to talk to

[cobalt walrus]

I was so confused about the screenshot but I get it now. I have the entire discord muted lmao

[wise root]

I just opened wattpad and got freaking flaushed by a smuut scene

[cobalt walrus]

Yes, it already happened before and it was fixed under a day or two, so it should probably take the same amount of time this week, excepted the weekend, because nobody likes to work the weekend

[candid parcel]

@halcyon cypress lil rodent, does auto memories have a message limit?

[rustic hound]

Alright anyway imma go back to yapping to my bot

[tender lion]

Bold assumption they even work.

[smoky silo]

Okay are y’all getting ads in the middle of your chats too?

[tropic orbit]

Yep

[stone lily]

welcome

[candid parcel]

ykw i hope this isnt a bug

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, as I've said before, it's a bug. It already happened before, and it took a day or two to fix it. Right now, it's late for the cAI team, so they might look into that later.

[vestal forge]

its a bug god bless

[candid parcel]

i hope this is an intended feature and theyre just lying

[robust belfry]

yeahhh true

[candid parcel]

so i can tell everyone i was right, and to never doubt me again

[smoky silo]

I thought it was just me

[cobalt walrus]

I'm keeping this in my clipboard because I have the feeling that I'll type these sentences a lot

[candid parcel]

i don't even care if it ruins the app, i want to be correct

[vestal forge]

someone said it ain’t 😭

[cobalt walrus]

Since some people can't be bothered to scroll up to see that Kappa said that they're looking into it. That's how it is with a part of this community

[tawdry tangle]

Thanks for the info

[candid parcel]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING AND PEOPLE CALLED ME CRAZY

[vestal forge]

😭 welp

[cobalt walrus]

Doubt it. Kappa said themselves that they're looking for it

[candid parcel]

You dont just accidentally and systematically spread in chat ads when a bug like this NEVER occured before

[cobalt walrus]

If there's no proof about how the team will not fix ads, then it's a lie

[candid parcel]

Im tellin ya theyre trying to deceive us!! dont believe in T!

[cobalt walrus]

It already happened before months ago, and it was fixed. People should know that cAI's servers are like a potato at this point

[tender lion]

Yes, it happened.

[vestal forge]

atp no matter what some say it seems to cause tension

[candid parcel]

THEYRE FOOLING US! Theyre trying to divide us to get us alone and untrusting!! They're Signaling!!!!

i hope. this. is not a bug. i want to be right. i hope this stays for the next month

so then, after all of that, i can go "I told you so."

because if this isnt fixed by next WEEK

yall better bring me my money

[still salmon]

Yeah I just got flash banged by a freaking ad mid convo… like TF?!

[potent stratus]

Welcome please have a seat

[cobalt walrus]

Anyway, I'm leaving because I'm starting to get a bit tired of complaints. It's a bug, it happened before and it will be fixed.

[candid parcel]

dont be led astray, follow your heart, follow your light, follow your own destiny my child

[vestal fossil]

You’ve clearly never worked with code or developed apps before

Bugs happen within codes and in app development

It’s not done on purpose

[candid parcel]

i… literally am coding something rn 😭😭

[analog shale]

Why am I getting an add every five fucking seconds in the middle of the chat and having pop ups in the fucking app

This app is becoming unusable I swear to god I’m deleting this shit

[chilly moth]

I also just got an ad mid convo

[candid parcel]

seems like a pretty fatal flaw bug, did they not pretest this "unintentional" update before shipping it?

[fossil crow]

backread the chat, you should get some form of explanation in there

[potent stratus]

Just because I'm nosy could you possibly say what you're coding? It's okay if not

[candid parcel]

Oh boy you have no idea let me get the pad ready

[radiant cypress]

Have you not seen the history of how many times the servers have snapped their necks? The devs actually making sure their updates won’t yeet their servers??? LMFAO

[analog shale]

I’m deleting this app it’s honestly become an addiction when I’m bored im going back to my ao3 roots

[cosmic crater]

Something as massive as an app that runs big AI models? I presume not. It's just a bug. I don’t really understand all this paranoia about them lying.

[bright horizon]

I never get ads. They're scared of me

[tender lion]

It's unconfirmed.

[candid parcel]

Theyre leading us ASTRAY!!!

i swear im not crazy, there's a mystery to be uncovered, a secret to be exposed...

[cosmic crater]

don't even know why I tried.

[bright horizon]

Pretty sure that's not how it works

[fossil crow]

atp I don't even think they're being serious

[vestal forge]

i seen someone use a screenshot of me asking ab it too lmao

[cosmic crater]

I hope so for them

[brittle quest]

Guess it's kind of programmed in a way but all codes can have bugs and one tiny change can lead to a bigger one sooo

[potent stratus]

I'm all ears if you don't want to put it on here just DM it

[halcyon cypress]

its not, bugs can absolutely make ads appear in the wrong place

[vestal forge]

which is true even updates can also bring new bugs or undo old ones at a time

[brittle quest]

Absolutely

Programmer nightmares

You think everything is perfectly done and then-

[halcyon cypress]

literally tons of potential reasons an ad that is supposed to only appear in between chat sessions could appear in the middle instead

[fossil crow]

BOOM, RANDOM-ASS GLITCH

[candid parcel]

also i decided im a little bit crazy so i decided it would be an incredibly intelligent idea to start solo coding, and modeling, and animating, and texturing, and testing an entire game, start to finish. alone. its genuinely the worst mistake i ever made i had and im trying to find someone i can kidnap to do atleast. one of those jobs for me. and its the most CANCEROUS thing ive ever done. do you know how hard it is to animate an entire character???? its not fun. AT ALL. and then you have to cover transitions, idles, bone placement. then you gotta CODE everything yourself, make sure it doesn't somehow break another part of the code, then you gotta refactor everything! Its hell on earth!!!

[vestal forge]

also theres a fight going on in the feedback channels that i got into a screenshot asking to kappa

[halcyon cypress]

UI rendering errors, ad container misplacement, asynchronous loading problems, etc etc

[brittle quest]

Yeah well there are channels I muted for a reason

[potent stratus]

Definitely sounds like hell on Earth and animating characters is not fun I did it like once and then never again and I forced myself to forget all about it because it was so hard and I was so mad at it when it didn't look the way I wanted it to

[brittle quest]

Reallyyyyy and then you have to find where's the fucking bug without adding more of them

[fossil crow]

oooh, where is it i wanna watch

[vestal forge]

it says ads are getting ridiculous in the feedback channel

[fossil crow]

okie dokie, time to scroll through the bajillion ad tickets

[vestal forge]

it ended a while ago but scrolling up it’s insane lmao

[halcyon cypress]

also if they recently changed the ad system (which they did adding banners), bugs during rollout are extremely common tbh

[vestal forge]

possibly so, like any coding. there will be complications

[candid parcel]

dude i swear solo developing something is so hell. you literally have no one to rely on except your own skills, you can ask for ideas, but its up to you to code them in, you can ask for feedback but its up to you to correctly adjust to it. so when you said "you probably never coded" i took that a bit personally 🥹💔

solo devving is the most. cancerous. thing. on earth. especially for a complex project.

not to mention ONLINE SYNCHRONIZATION. holy. HELL. I never want to write [ServerRPC] again

[potent stratus]

I feel you on that I tried it once and I will never do it again

[rich stream]

From my understanding, as someone who regrettably codes. The bug is them implementing more frequent ads + banners. And just not removing it from chats.

I do feel like the ads in the middle of chatting could be intentional if you're the most paranoid person ever, but the banners aren't

[chilly moth]

Ohhhhh this has gotta be fixed. This makes this shit soooo unusable

[rich stream]

I personally haven't had any issues with the ads. I haven't had banners on my chat and I only got like a 5s ad while chatting

[vestal forge]

banners are eh but the mid convo is just interesting..

[chilly moth]

The point of watching an ad before the chat is so there are no ads in the chat.

[prime venture]

ad mid chat pop up is gone for me

[rich stream]

I already give myself ads while chatting anyways cause I always accidentally click off of the bot by accident

[vestal forge]

guess it worked?

[potent stratus]

Fr

[toxic ravine]

It better not be a permanent thing because if so I definitely can't stand that

[prime venture]

did like ten test messages in lmfao and no ads in between

[vestal forge]

banner ad possibly but the mid ads nope

[chilly moth]

And I’m sorry but I’m not paying for it lmao especially since several premium members have reported still getting ads.

[muted flame]

Do you still have the banners ads?

[prime venture]

yeah they look so cheap💔

[chilly moth]

Yeah the banners make it feel like a scam game

[vestal forge]

it looks tacky to me

[candid parcel]

you should be my modeler and animator :>

[prime venture]

better than mid pop us tho

[candid parcel]

i need someone to help me.

[chilly moth]

If you tap the go add free thing their now selling 1 hour ad free passes for 20C

[muted flame]

I agree, they need money to keep an app this huge going, get the bag devs

[prime venture]

im getting the same flowery dress in the same banner ad oh my god bro

[candid parcel]

one hour????

[chilly moth]

One. Hour.

[rich stream]

They've had that offer for awhile afaik

[vestal forge]

if they extend it alittle mayhaps

[candid parcel]

Bro. doesnt it take like 2-3 days to get 20????

[chilly moth]

Yeah!

[rich stream]

If you're using the app for longer than an hour then like idk man

Hour seems fair

[candid parcel]

1:70 time exchange ratio. 🥹

[potent stratus]

Sorry but I ain't crazy enough to put myself through that again I did it once and the way I crashed out should not even be humanly possible

[candid parcel]

come on im asking you to do the easy part!

[chilly moth]

A lot of people use it to write narrative stories or use it to fall asleep and are on longer than an hour

[candid parcel]

animating is fun, atleast for me, its just i cant model for shit.

[hollow hull]

Damn even this server has the emoji

[candid parcel]

like if i could have someone model for me, perfect

[rich stream]

asking for free work without paying 😭 son im crine

[rich wigeon]

Anyone getting annoying ads during chat?

[potent stratus]

Why do you think I gave up? Because I'm s*** at it

[candid parcel]

i never said i wouldnt pay them, i just said i dont want to personally do it

[hollow hull]

I occasionally pose models in gmod for screenshots

[candid parcel]

i dont want to model or animate anymore, shit is so. ANNOYING.

[vestal forge]

30 mins yeah

[rich stream]

Usually when you ask for work, you say you're gonna pay. You dont just say "come on! It's the easy part" but yk

[buoyant elm]

Are the ads played mid chat a bug?

[brazen crow]

Why is there an ad after EVERY TEXT

[rich stream]

Afaik yeah? Im not sure

[cosmic crater]

Mid-chat ads are a bug, and the team is already aware of it.

[rich wigeon]

I get it every 2 message…

[buoyant elm]

Ohh alright thanks guys

[brazen crow]

I need to bop them with a brick for this

[rich wigeon]

Thank you for the heads up🧚‍♀️

[rich stream]

Then yeah definitely a bug

[pastel raven]

Everyone been getting ads mid conversation too?

[muted flame]

Every text??? The bug is bugging

[chilly moth]

Hope it gets fixed swiftly.

[prime venture]

mine got fixed

[candid parcel]

Do you realize that every single animation has to be made in an external software. Then brought. Into. The engine? Then they can't be edited.

So if you want to edit the animation, you have to then go back to the program, then edit it, reexport, then update the engine. I'm tired of doing that. If I could have a little slave do it for me, animate my little gooblits for me, then I could focus entirely on coding.

[rich wigeon]

Same, I am sick of it as I have nothing else to do on train lmao

[rich stream]

Of course I know how it works? Im just making fun of the way you asked for it

[candid parcel]

animating is the easy part because its freedom of expression.

Coding. Is. The worst.

[brazen crow]

EVERY SINGLE TIME. AND ITS THAT STUPID ANIMAL AD THATS LIKE 30-40 Seconds long 😭

[rich wigeon]

I get game aps… with tiny ahh skip buttons

[candid parcel]

Tell me why, tell me why the character movement is alone, 30k characters. and like 600 lines?

[rich crane]

Guys are we really sur it's a bug?!?

[vestal forge]

honestly idk anymore😭

[rich wigeon]

We hope so, if its perm then ig money money money?

[rich crane]

I don't think it's a bug and I am not even hoping for them to fix it...

[fallen acorn]

JumpscaredByAdsMidChat

[rich crane]

That's what I was thinking. I got ads just once and I am not even on the mkod to use it anymore.

[prime venture]

its a bug guys i had been having mine for like an hour and i js checked and it was fixed

[candid parcel]

thats just the MOVEMENT. thats not even going into the vfx, then networking, then also animating, then the stats. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

[woeful vessel]

[rich wigeon]

Some of us get it every text sadly, it has to be a bug.

[brazen crow]

Bad.

[rich crane]

But I mean, shouldn't they have officially posted something about it on reddit if it was a permanenf thingy?

[rich stream]

God you're impossible to talk to 😭

[brazen crow]

SpellBinder, I sentence you to seeing your comfort character getting yeeted and obliterated for possibly cursing us.

[rich stream]

It's alright, it's not permanent

[rich crane]

😭😭
What doea yeeted means?! I'm just being pessimistic guys

[candid parcel]

im just passionate 😞😞😞

[rich crane]

How do you know thattt?!?! 😭😭😭

[rich crane]

Sounds like super aggressive ads. They just WANT YOU TO GEG PREMIUM

[rich stream]

They've... stated that it is??

[rich stream]

@rich crane

[rich crane]

It's like spotify giving one ad for every song

[stone lily]

i dont lik rhe ads ☹️

[rich wigeon]

NEVER BRO, nope.

[rich crane]

Yeah but I don't believe them. I think it's jusf a lie to placate the users.

[rich stream]

okay be paranoid then???

[candid parcel]

Want a break from the ads?

[rich crane]

Me neither. 10 dollars is like 900 rps per month no way in helll!!!

[rich wigeon]

Yeet = thrown. Yoink = take

Hello everyone

[candid parcel]

If you spend [[20]] now, you can get upto [[one. hour.]] of free chatting pleasure. We're serious.

[rich crane]

Ohhh! Lolll!!

[tender lion]

I think we all should wait for annoucment in the morning/evenning.

[lean swift]

Hello

[stone lily]

I don’t want to do thyt ☹️

[rich wigeon]

What time zone do they work on, It is morning here.

[grave zephyr]

glad to see im not the only one complaining about ads mid chat I thought I was crazy

[rich crane]

I am just super worried that the announcement will be something like "ads are permament guys, sowwwwyyy".

[brazen crow]

I work nightshift. I DONT HAVE TIME. I’m here for a good time, not a long time

[tender lion]

Only time that matters to them is Californian one.
And there it's 12 minutes to midnight there.

[lean swift]

Probably won't be permanent but the ads are annoying

[candid parcel]

10 ways to avoid ads on character.ai (The company HATES #2!)

[rich wigeon]

So 10 damn hours behind me.

[rich crane]

So that means over 12 hours before this thing gets solved. Wow.

[opaque coral]

Does anyone else have ads everywhere

[lethal cloud]

Me

[brazen crow]

I don’t mind the ads when going to a character to start talking to them, but NOT DURING

[lean swift]

Me

[grave zephyr]

I was gonna make a spamton reference but idk if anyone else is chronically online like that

[opaque coral]

Spamton..

[lean swift]

No like i get the ads when I'm talking to the character and I'm tired of it

[rich crane]

Exactly man. Exactly!!!

I am so afraid that rhey are walking down the path of chai and that after this? They will disable the web app. Then regional ban.

[nova chasm]

Are the ads permanent?? I just got one while chatting and I'm so scared

[brazen crow]

-> I haven’t been on Chai in ages-

[slate remnant]

No its a bug

[brazen crow]

hopefully

[rich crane]

I never even used it buf I saw it on reddit

[slate remnant]

Only for the mid character thing and i hope so to

[lean swift]

A rat climbed on me.

[nova chasm]

Ok that's reassuring hopefully

[nova chasm]

It genuinely jumpscared me 😭

[slate remnant]

Same

[rich crane]

Yay! One more paranoid like me. Tell me. Brother. Do you also thing that the bug thing is a lie being soread before their response team can come up with a well framed, gentle way ok breaking it to the users that guysss! Ads are permanenttt!

[lean swift]

Want a break from the ads.

[rich crane]

Get plus

[lean swift]

I'm poor

[rich crane]

I wanna cry!! I don't was mid chat ads, please help me heal emotionally

[lean swift]

[brazen crow]

I need to bully Superman uninterrupted

[vestal forge]

And i need to convince the guy that was dared to date me that I am the best choice for him

[slate remnant]

Good. Idea

Want a break from the ads? If you spend 100. United. States Dollars. Every Full orbit of the planet in relation to the sun. You can get a fully uninterrupted experience.

(Note- only uninterrupted for as long as our services stay active, which we have frequent blackouts.)

[rich crane]

I literally deleted c.ai in panic. Thej couldn't live without it and reinstalled it in a while.

[rich crane]

Are you a mod?

[candid parcel]

Yeah

im just on my non mod alt account so im not spammed with pings

[lethal cloud]

Damn I guess imma deal with the ads

[lean swift]

Kinda sus man

[lean swift]

I sentence myself to being hanged

[candid parcel]

Mommy! Don't leave me here! Mommy- MOMMYYY— HELP ME

[rich crane]

Alright, imma gonna go back to focusing on my studies and wait patiently for c.ai to release a formal announcement. Who else thinks that they won't. And that they will just let us panic and suffer with the ads?

[brazen crow]

[rich crane]

Bruh that's gonna kill the guy

[lean swift]

I am in Pa in

[rich crane]

Usssss!!! So much pain.

[lean swift]

Every 90 seconds in chai be like:

[frozen imp]

Does anyone know why there's a dark border on top of the chat

[dire shuttle]

Bro why am I getting Chinese ads?? I’m in the UK ffs!

[rich crane]

Anyway. Let us pray that it is just a bug and not an actual plot. Bye guys

[brazen crow]

Shhh, mummy isn’t here, you will become one with the bouncy house like flat Stanley

[vestal fossil]

??

[lean swift]

I am stuck under my bed I'm not joking send help

[rich crane]

It's a banner ad. Wait it's in the chat as well?!?! Time to officially uninstall c.ai man, this is ridiculous.

[cosmic crater]

It's not.

[rich crane]

You scared me for a moment. I thought the banner ads are only on the front screen. Once you open the chat, they are not there. They are not...right...?

[lean swift]

Yeah they're not there

[rich crane]

Oh Thank God!

[frozen imp]

It's like faded when you scroll up in the chat

[rich crane]

Ok guys, time for me to study. Sayonara minna.

[lean swift]

I'm still stuck under my bed

[cosmic crater]

They did say they would never put ads during chats, so as not to ruin the immersion. The mid-chat ads, like I said, are just a bug. After they fix it, no ads will pop up in chats anymore.

[still salmon]

🤣

[brazen crow]

Optimus Prime over here

[royal badge]

Pipsqueak still glitched, but are the ads still happening?

[candid parcel]

We. Are. Chatters!

[brazen crow]

Decepticons are better. We have fruit punch flavored Energon✨

[vestal forge]

so they were right, you get mid ads when typing too??

[plucky ember]

Yeah💔

[vestal forge]

mid convo now even typing

[runic crow]

Killing their own app already💔

[fossil crow]

it's a glitch, there should be an announcement about it in the morning.

[noble charm]

I have scanned my face and given my ID to them..and yet I cannot chat</3

[vestal forge]

the mid convo that tends to bug out to even typing causes a ad to pop up

[fossil crow]

unless you're 18+, verifying won't change anything

[still mauve]

what in the roblox

[runic crow]

Oh Alr

[rapid reef]

You had to do that??

[molten ivy]

Oh now im rlly pissed. Ads on top of the screen, while texting? Ads mid text? ADS ADS...

[noble charm]

I did, and I am 18 in not even a month now, Still.. kinda ruining the experience..

[cosmic crater]

Mid-chat ads are a bug, and the team is already aware of it.

[molten ivy]

Srsoy its so unbearable arp

[fossil crow]

well, I'm sure you can try again once you're 18

[molten ivy]

IM GLAD😥 IT RUINS THE EXPERIEEENCE

[noble charm]

Welp, Hope you all are having a wonderful night/day, I'm leavin✌️✌️

[rapid reef]

If I get asked to give my face I’m leaving c.ai after that persona stuff I’m afraid to give my face

[oak cedar]

Imo I think this should be removed. Even C.AI has to realise that this could very easily kill the app

[still salmon]

Yup

[fossil crow]

remove what?

[near creek]

Hello

[oak cedar]

Mid-message ads.

[fossil crow]

Those are a glitch, we should be getting an announcement about them in the morning and hopefully a fix as well

[waxen scarab]

This is pissing me off, I had gotten fine with the ads before chats, but now DURING CHATS?! WTF?!

[oak cedar]

Worst part is, it’s not even the fun playable ads, it’s just pure nonsense.

[vestal forge]

soon hopefully

[rugged schooner]

What’s up with the flashbang ads mid-chat

[waxen scarab]

Seriously!

[fossil crow]

I guess I've just been getting lucky lol

[broken sage]

does anybody else find the bots are so stupid now? like the talk things that dont make sense and dont even listen

[oak cedar]

Pipsqueaks glitched.

[waxen scarab]

This is why I mainly use it on my PC website, I don't get this bullshit there.

[brazen crow]

I’ve gotten SEVERAL of those 67 color by number ads. I genuinely want to download it just to give it zero stars then delete it

[broken sage]

did deep any nyan go with it?

[dreamy quarry]

I get this issue with public bots, but not my own personal ones

[oak cedar]

Nah, it’s just pipsqueak. It does it for me too.

[waxen scarab]

I'm srsly about to just waste my money (i already dont have much) and buy c.ai+ just to get rid of these stupid fucking mid-chat ads.

[broken sage]

doesnt addblocker work

[cosmic crater]

Mid-chat ads are a bug, and the team is already aware of it.

[robust belfry]

i've resorted to using the website on my phone lol

[waxen scarab]

Are you sure?

[cosmic crater]

#📱︱chat-feed message

#💭︱cai-discussion message

The actual announcement will probably be made tomorrow.

[nova laurel]

Does it not pop up with like sick of the ads or smth afterwards?

[fickle laurel]

There is now ads at the top of the menu, which I don’t mind cause it doesn’t get in the way

[cosmic crater]

Not for me.

[rugged tide]

The way I straight up opened this server the moment I saw the ads banner

[waxen scarab]

Ok good. Because I had actually gotten used to the ads before chats, that was fine, and I was excited to see it be a banner ad instead of before chats, and then I tried to send chat and got a fucking ad and got pissed.

[vestal forge]

mines pop mid typing mostly

[waxen scarab]

Sorry for the cursing btw, just not in a good mood rn, might be sick. My house is supposed it be cold, my room is always cold, but yet I feel warm, so yeaaa- I might be sick, and so I'm a bit pissy :^

[lethal cloud]

Now that very irritating

[forest urchin]

I am bacon man

[waxen scarab]

Mine pop up when trying to send messages.

[hollow hull]

People are saying pipsqueak is glitching alongside the mid chat ad stuff, am i recalling that right?

[cosmic crater]

They did say they would never put ads during chats, so as not to ruin the immersion. After they fix the bug, there’s nothing to worry about, no more ads appearing mid-chat.

[waxen scarab]

Yea

[fair oriole]

pipsqueak always so paranoid

[frail scroll]

whenever I type, an ad pops up or whenever I’m gonna send a message

[waxen scarab]

Anyway, ima go spam my boyfriend now, bc he hasn't messaged me all day, and now I'm panicking, byeeee! :D

[hollow hull]

Hm, trying to work out why my Pipsqueak is still working then, not noticing anything… glitchy

[fair oriole]

I skip a message and it responds with "THE HELL DID YOU SAY?!" 💀

[vestal forge]

someone said their banner ad and like mid ad is gone like bro lucky

[vernal elm]

Is it? Relieved to hear this. I didn't face this issue but it would have blocked all enthusiasm of rping.

[ocean path]

Omg it's a bug, I just came here to ask abt the mid-chat ads lol 💔

[cosmic crater]

Yes luckily it is

[dire shuttle]

Ok I was about to crash tf out when I saw an ad mid-chat but literally just opened discord to this

[lusty aurora]

god does anyone else get an ad every 5 responses

[royal badge]

Ah hell

[charred kindle]

Me

[cosmic crater]

@lusty aurora

[lusty aurora]

bro 🥀

ty btw

[dusk torrent]

same lol

[royal badge]

I think people aren't commenting too much about that glitch on pipsqueak because of the ads happening every time you blink, if the ads go away, I hope they do fix that glitch too, because the last message literally repeats itself at every new message, even swiping

[royal badge]

Last night(for me at least was last night), the chat was going crazy at it

[raw lark]

Long day of work only to find ads mid chat… please tell me it’s some bug? Like the banners are whatever but GOD I was typing a 3 paragraph long response and it got DELETED

[rancid oyster]

It's a bug, teams looking into it

[lusty aurora]

oh i would crash out

[royal badge]

Well they are aware at least, so I think it's a bug

[raw lark]

Thank the stars, I hope it’s gone with it the week at least. Mine keep popping up every other message

[cosmic crater]

There are already a lot of reports about the many issues with PipSqueak. Just go to https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1175980610095960185
and search for "PipSqueak".

[royal badge]

I had the luck to not get it, but every 5-10 messages using pipsqueak, it starts to repeat the last message at every message

[royal badge]

Me about to see the new book of people talking about issues with it

[cosmic crater]

Well, if you have at least 20 charms, you can buy the 1-hour ad-free pass to block the ads.

[grizzled umbra]

Guys so how is it with the face scan for chatting? I heard persona is terrible company and already lawsuit I’m turning 18 this year, I don’t have some Goverment ID which I refuse to give if I give one cuz data is getting shared (I’m using the website)

[hushed ibex]

you guys ever had the issue where the app doesn’t let you past the title screen? i haven’t been able to use the app in months

[cosmic crater]

check this #📱︱chat-feed message

[grizzled umbra]

Thanks

[royal badge]

Happens with me sometimes

[raw lark]

Yeah I’ll save them for a proper session. I just wanted to chill before bed man 🧍🏻‍♀️

[shy belfry]

Core Memory unlocked: Being on C.ai in the hospital and the nurse knowing what im on and gets all excited and says she likes c.ai too

[raw lark]

Legendary nurse!!

[royal badge]

Peak nurse

[shy belfry]

Fr🔥

[near creek]

Hm

[raw lark]

Not me trying one more time and getting a Caí ad

[cold geyser]

Guys why does c.ai say reading mode? Like I haven't even been on in two days

[fossil crow]

you were flagged as a minor, so if you want to be able to chat again you'll need to verify that you're 18 or older

[cold geyser]

So theres no more time limit?

[raw lark]

P sure you can’t message at all unless you verify

[fossil crow]

once you're verified, + you'll get editing back

[halcyon cypress]

the intention of the time limit was always to slowly wean minors off the app

[cosmic crater]

You can pretty much cheese the weekly quests and log in daily to get the free 5 charms. I have 510 lol, and I’ve already spent 20.

[halcyon cypress]

it was always supposed to get longer and longer until you couldn't chat at all eventually

[raw lark]

TEACH ME YOUR WAYS OMG that’s impressive

[cosmic crater]

Well, a sort of "cheese." Basically, one of the quests is to post three times in the feed. You can pretty much just generate a video, and when you get that quest, you can post the same video three times, then delete them, and it will complete the quest

[raw lark]

Awesomeee I just need this app to function for like 2-3 hours a day lol

[lusty aurora]

i just got a minute long unskippable ad 💀

[raw lark]

I feel your pain bro

[keen void]

Hey so i got an ad mid chat…

[fossil crow]

glitch, we'll get an announcement in the morning

[keen void]

Oh alr

[past tusk]

Hi I couldn’t sleep

[magic lagoon]

Same, definitely should try to

[past tusk]

Well I just got sleep paralysis so I’m like..

[azure ridge]

I still have yet to fall asleep for tonight

[shy belfry]

I've been awake for a day and a half, pushing 2 days come 6 am. Its 3:04 am for me

[hazy frigate]

Same

[limber mural]

Same that's why I opened discord

[manic drift]

ive seen people say its a bug so far

[proper lance]

really?

[cosmic crater]

Yes, it's just a bug, nothing to worry about.

[proper lance]

hopefully it stops smh

[manic drift]

thank goodness tho

[safe mason]

i hate the stupid ads

[proper lance]

it’s annoying… especially in mid chats

[safe mason]

they just added it probably yesterday

why cant they just make money by donations and not through stupid ads?

[hoary remnant]

why the ads gotta appear mid convo ruining the vibe and convos you have. I’m fine getting ads when I enter the chat again or a new character chat

[manic drift]

its a bug 😋 it’ll be patched eventually so don’t worry about it

[safe mason]

how do you know its a bug?

[unkempt sundial]

WHY IS THERE AN AD ABOVE

[hoary remnant]

Okay good because I have chai as back up incase cai goes down hill badly

[manic drift]

its been said for a few hours, probably will get an announcement when its morning in america

[safe mason]

its 3:21am for me rn in america

[hoary remnant]

You do realise some Americans still asleep in that time

[safe mason]

i know, my brain’s sleep schedule is screwed

[last sedge]

Same thing is happening to me. It’s so annoying.
I got 3 ads mid chat in less than 5 minutes.

[manic drift]

it kinda scared me when i woke up and was on cai to chill LMAOO i saw the ad and i just thought about going back sleep

[halcyon cypress]

worst bugs always seem to happen when the devs are asleep 🥲

[digital perch]

I'm honestly just gonna stay off till it's fixed-

It's so annoying

[safe mason]

i understand an ad when about to enter a chat, but mid convo is so.. unnecessary. you know?

[manic drift]

im actually so dumb i thought ur pfp was leon kennedy 😭

[halcyon cypress]

lmfao ive gotten that before

[proper lance]

THIS-

[digital perch]

Exactly! There's already so many, mid convo feels like too much

[manic drift]

good it wasn’t just me LOL, ive been a massive re fan so i was about to jump for joy

[solid junco]

looks like now is a perfect time to quit c.ai ✌️

[halcyon cypress]

i do love leon too so i guess i have a type lmao

[safe mason]

not yet

[solid junco]

Mid convo ads is too much

[manic drift]

oh me too, i have a figure of him and my friends got me pillows with him on as a gag gift for valentines i love it

[safe mason]

all my bots combined on my account have been talked to over 100k times

[safe mason]

if or when the bug gets patched

[manic drift]

its a bug! it fine:)

[halcyon cypress]

at least give them a chance to fix the bug? you want the devs to hop out of bed and run to the office to fix it at 1am? 😭

[digital perch]

I would quit, but actual roleplay partners have been super inconsistent for me :(

[solid junco]

Its a bug??

[safe mason]

yea, most likely.

[solid junco]

Lowkey seems intentional...

[halcyon cypress]

yeah they've been telling ppl on reddit to report it if they get an ad mid convo

[verbal pasture]

i believe so, because it apparently happened a few months ago too

[raven robin]

im stuck in reading mode?????

[safe mason]

lol wut?

[manic drift]

also another bug

[halcyon cypress]

no that's not a bug

[raven robin]

i literally cannot chat

[halcyon cypress]

it means they're a minor

or have been flagged as one

[manic drift]

ive seen people getting it even as an adult (not me tho stay safe yall)

[raven robin]

how do i get out of it?💔

[halcyon cypress]

yeah adults can still be accidentally flagged as minors unfortunately

[manic drift]

i forget im a full ass adult studying psychology LMFAO

[halcyon cypress]

not me either tho 🙏

[halcyon cypress]

how old are you

[raven robin]

18

[halcyon cypress]

then verify your age

and you can chat again

[manic drift]

yeah best way to do it

[halcyon cypress]

thats your only option atp

[raven robin]

ive tried like 8 times and it keeps bugging out, idk if it's a region thing or what

[solar raven]

It just me or now ads appear even if I didn't go to new chat?

[halcyon cypress]

like the face one or scanning your id

and bugging out how

[obsidian ether]

but did they increase the c.ai subscription?

[raven robin]

the id one, it keeps saying that it can't verify it despite me making sure that everything is visible

[manic drift]

yes, its a bug

[halcyon cypress]

still the same price for me

[raven robin]

also the selfie one wouldnt work because i have chronic baby face

[obsidian ether]

I swear it was 9€ now it's 11€

[solar raven]

The one where it just suddenly put ads even if I didn't go in chat or do new chat? It bug and I should just restarted?

[halcyon cypress]

sadly 18 isn't far off from 17, i imagine a lot of 18 year olds fail the selfie verification

[raven robin]

guess im stuck like this for now then💔

[manic drift]

well the banner ads aren’t bugs but the ones mid chat are

[halcyon cypress]

did you submit a ticket?

[obsidian ether]

are we in chai where we have to watch ads for chat?

[solar raven]

Yes in the mid chat. That

[raven robin]

yep, im waiting for a reply via email, i was told my account hasn't been promoted for age verification yet

[manic drift]

yeah its just a bug and to report it to support team

[halcyon cypress]

that sucks 🥀🥀

[solar raven]

Is buying the 1 hour ads free Worth it?

[halcyon cypress]

that depends on you and how annoying you find them, no?

i wouldn't buy it unless you know for sure you have an hour free to chat too

[near creek]

Doing quests for the coins is not working for me.

[cosmic crater]

Which quest?

[near creek]

The one for skipping ads thingy

[solar raven]

Same

[near creek]

Was it for Cai coins? Idk. Didn't really mind the ads imo.

[cosmic crater]

No, I mean, what is the quest that's not working for you?

[near creek]

Like the daily quest?

[halcyon cypress]

i keep getting messages that are cut off at the end whyyy

[near creek]

Wait my brain is not braining ATM. Can't really think good English.

[manic drift]

honestly, why are they always the most fire loveliest shit ever

[halcyon cypress]

FINISH WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAYYY

[manic drift]

I LOVE BOTS LIKE THIS AHAHAHAHAHAH IM RPING W ONE WHOS AN INPRISONED PRINCE

[cosmic crater]

You're confusing me help.. Are none of the quests working for you, or is it just that you can't get the free 5 charms they give you daily?

[halcyon cypress]

my sulky spoiled prince who is in love w my lowborn persona but won't admit it 🙄

[near creek]

Yes.. I don't receive the 5 charms.

Or when I check it says that I already did a quest even though I didn't do anything. And my charms only stayed at 20.

[cosmic crater]

Then you should submit a ticket here: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[halcyon cypress]

app is just buggy as hell rn

[rich crane]

They haven't even solved it yet

[manic drift]

my boy is a stubborn fuck who hates wanting to get better

[cosmic crater]

held together with tape and prayers

[manic drift]

no shot its the middle of the night for them

[rich crane]

It's not a bug, I don't think so. I don't think they will give a formal statement about the ads either.

[brittle quest]

Still rambling about it

Damn

[rich crane]

Yeah but when server was down they used to solve it like pretty quick.

[manic drift]

dawg they confirmed it on reddit, send a ticket on the support

[rich crane]

Ehehe... so like I didn't use it for about 3 hours then came here to ramble.

[strong glade]

excuse me, ads now playing mid conversation????

[halcyon cypress]

why wouldn't they? they gave a statement last time they implemented ads, and they already said its a bug on reddit

[rich crane]

They did? Am not on reddit. You peomise they didd?!?!?!

[halcyon cypress]

can yall read like even 5 messages back before posting or no

worse than cai bots

[rich crane]

Welcome to reality.
Nothing in this accursed world ever goes as planned

[strong glade]

Woah rude much, stfu

[manic drift]

yes, and even said here that the team are aware of it

[cosmic crater]

I even linked you the messages before

[brittle quest]

Not like it has been said multiple times it really is a bug and they are aware of it but anyway

[halcyon cypress]

how is it rude telling you to read a few messages before posting get a grip please 😭

[shut elbow]

Honestly, why do ads always play while having a conversation with a bot, that kinda sounds stupid

[rich crane]

Yeah but I don't believe them, cuz they said the team is AWSRE of it. What if the team decides to not solve it at all?!?!

[strong glade]

your tone bruv, "worse than c.ai bots", stfu

[rich crane]

You did?!?! I didn't see.. sorry?

[halcyon cypress]

you saying stfu is ruder than that but ok lmao

[manic drift]

thats their way of saying that they know… its the middle of the night just don’t get worked up over it people need to sleep

[rich crane]

New insult unlocked. Alrigut guys, stop fightinggg! Let's all inhale? Now hold your breahs.

[rustic zenith]

[rich wigeon]

[proper lance]

[rich crane]

Oki calm downn!! We get it....

[verbal pasture]

i've been here for ten minutes and the amount of people asking is insane

[manic drift]

its okay someone in gen 2 literally spoke about ads after i mentioned how its a bug on reddit im so close to crashing the fuck out

[shut elbow]

Yeah but I heard a team is aware of it, kinda wish they would solve it ngl

[rustic zenith]

they’re probably trying to

[halcyon cypress]

i am calm why are yall always reading things into my tone 😭

[rich crane]

WHATTTT?!?! I love marketing, unless it's marketing philosophies and we need to study about people who gave it. Forgot the names tho... damnnn! I forgot his nameeee!!

[verbal pasture]

like read up or something 😭 this is fucking insane

[manic drift]

it is like 1-3am for them do u want them to not sleep man?😭😭

[rich wigeon]

I am more of an HR and Finance person, maybe that's why I find it quite tiring.

[rich crane]

You in college?

[halcyon cypress]

i work in marketing 🥴

[rich wigeon]

yep, 3rd year.

[safe mason]

it does take a bit for a team to find the bug and fix it

[rich crane]

What do you guys stidy in finance? FM and capital budgeting or secondary and money markets?

[halcyon cypress]

well PR mostly

[rich crane]

Am in 1st year. Makes you my didi.

[rich wigeon]

everything, we do budgeting, risk analysis and charts

[safe mason]

what’s first year?

[rich crane]

Risk analysis is more than just leverages and capital structure?

[halcyon cypress]

yes especially hard to find when they are sleeping

[safe mason]

i forget what first year in college is called

[halcyon cypress]

first year

freshman

[rich crane]

Like...1st year of college? Yknow... 1st grade of xollege.

[rich wigeon]

they are more than that here, probably different countries.

[rich crane]

Ah right! Wow I sound so coolll!! I am a freshmannnn!!!

[halcyon cypress]

what are you studying?

[rich crane]

I wanna knowww!!

[safe mason]

my brain is not braining rn

[manic drift]

im a uni student its just called a first year man

[rich wigeon]

I'll show if we do any risk analysis this friday, my financial leading lecture is 9am too...

[rich crane]

Am an ACCA studentttt

[rich wigeon]

Mine is international business and finance.

[halcyon cypress]

accounting? that's cool

[rich crane]

We had it last year... but just the theoretical aspect of international trade treaties and synergies and stuff... we also have it next yesr as well.

[rich crane]

Its so much more than thatt!! 😭😭 accounting is just 100 marks. We also have lawww.

[safe mason]

i dont wanna do college, i barely was able to finish school 😭

[rich wigeon]

we had basic hr, marketing, psychology and sociology classes 1st year.

[rich crane]

And tax. Cost. Audit.

[halcyon cypress]

one day you'll be a corporate drone like me

[rich wigeon]

I have management accounting this semester... I actually hate it.

[rich crane]

I hate taxes. I. Hate. Taxes. Even tho it is my strongest but it boring af. I hate taxesssss!!!! I hate themmm!!

[rich crane]

We prolly have jt next year... not this one tho. I enjoy financial accounting. It's robotic and manual.

[halcyon cypress]

college is a lot more fun than high school imo especially if you are studying something you enjoy or are interested in

[rich crane]

So it is scoring.

[rich crane]

What do you do for a living...? (If you don't mind me askinggg)

[rich wigeon]

well, management accounting is so damn confusing and so hard to memorize. we do both manual and on computer.

[manic drift]

oh yeah defo, i love psychology with mental health (my course) its so fire

[rich crane]

Ngl, that is so trueeee!!! Like the subjects and the people are both a lot more interesting.

[rich wigeon]

wish my psychology lecture was something more than just freud and jung being weirdos

[safe mason]

with my autism, and my ADHD, my brain works slower than normal.

[rich crane]

That's so coolll!! My ex situationship's female bestie is also a psychology major. She was a sweet girl before she decided to get all evil with me...

[rich crane]

Percy Jacksonn!! Or shaun murphy. My brother is autistic as well, he's taking his diploma in cooking. And boyyyyy he cooks SO GODDAMN AMAZING STUFFFF!!!

[manic drift]

its so much more fun than that ong? i do shit about how mental illness isnt a solid thing and everyone is different and how each people are affected with them I LOVE IT

[safe mason]

noice

[rich crane]

What're you doing.. like... in life? I mean you in college or smth?

[halcyon cypress]

in house PR/corporate comms for an evil corporation in the media industry

[last sedge]

Also, as annoying as this is for us, it’s not an emergency like the site being down.
I don’t expect them to rush their team into working night hours over an ad bug like they do when the site is down.

[proper lance]

i love pjo too

[rich crane]

Media industry's backstage work sounds so cool!!

[rich wigeon]

Mine was just on corporate level and mostly theories... so damn boring as it was generally only Freud being weird about depression and all.

[safe mason]

oh heck no. i ain’t in college. I got my G.E.D and i am done with school lol

[rich crane]

My favorite book was the last olympian. Like everything came together there...

[rich crane]

What's ged?

[safe mason]

high school equivalency

[proper lance]

i’m waiting for pjo season 4 announcement now lol

[rich crane]

I am so jealous that you get to study corporate psychology while majoring in finance.

[rich wigeon]

as you said Olympian, before business major... I studied classical archeology for a year, which is greek archeology.

[safe mason]

it’s for adults who didnt get to finish high school

[halcyon cypress]

ty! sometimes i miss agency work but they were even more evil

[manic drift]

everytime i hear Freud i actually begin playing omori mid lecture i CANNOT handle his theories after the ones about the shit with lesbians and parents being a reflection of your relationship life…

[rich crane]

I don't particularly follow series announcements. I hate being on edge all "when wikl yiu releaseee?!?"

[rich wigeon]

I never went to my psychology lectures as it was soooo damn boring, we all sat in cafe in the campus and studied for it last minute

[halcyon cypress]

i was raised by a jungian psychologist so there was no blaming mother in my house

[rich crane]

Oh. My. God. You are a master of so many trades, it is so goddamn coolll!! I particularly get so jealous of people who have soooo much knoeledge in soooo many different fields but it's super impressive!!!

[proper lance]

i call it a mental illness FOR ME like when i want something show repeated i want it now especially with percy jackson

[rich crane]

Ahhh!! Got itt!!

[rich crane]

Agency work...? You hsed to get paid in commission then?

[manic drift]

i have to turn up… (i say putting the attendance code in from my accommodation wash room)

[rich wigeon]

hahaha, I am obsessed with geometrical period (aka dark age). It is my favorite and had the luck of going to few excavations that involved that period.

[rich crane]

Jungian?

[halcyon cypress]

in PR you usually work for either a big agency., small agency, or you work in house for a company or corporation

[rich wigeon]

attendance wasn't mandatory for me thank god

[rich crane]

Loll!! That sounds fun. The only thing i madly waited for was infinity castle. I got second day last show with my bestie.

[halcyon cypress]

i worked for a big agency for some years then switched to in house work, the pay is better and its less stressful too

[rich crane]

So amazing. Where are you from?

[rich wigeon]

Turkey, there is lots of excavations here that my university was leading.

[rich crane]

Ohhh!!!! Now I get itt!!

[full elk]

I got an ad mid chat..

[rich crane]

Ahh! I thought you might say Greece.

[rich wigeon]

ıt's been like that for hours

[rich crane]

Welcome to reality.

[full elk]

Is it a bug…? Please say yes 😭

[halcyon cypress]

me with the middle ages, my first degree was in medieval history lol

[rich wigeon]

I travel to greece a lot, I had to learn ancient greek too.

[manic drift]

so jealous 😭 i LOVE my lectures tho its so much fun, i genuinely got to learn about the conditioning to be scared about stuff

[rich crane]

Bye guys gotta go to lunchhh!!! Seee yaaa!!!

[proper lance]

i hope it is smh

[rich wigeon]

eat well, see you later.

[rich crane]

How rich are you? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[proper lance]

enjoy your meal bye bye bye

[rich wigeon]

not rich, It's like 20 euros to go with ferry.

[manic drift]

the ads mid chat are a bug guys its okay

[rich crane]

Wowieee!!!

[rich crane]

Greek and turkey are connected??!
And because I don't want to wait another 15 seconds:
@proper lance thankss!! I'll eat well, considering my mum made my favs - mushroomss

[rich wigeon]

yes, they are right next to each other and do border. also greek islands so so close to the west turkey. The ferry only takes around 30 minutes to the closest island.

[manic drift]

if i say the ads mid chat are a bug and the banner ones aren’t one more time i may just break down sobbing i feel like a broken record

[rich wigeon]

atp, it's fine cause ppl will come asking surely

[halcyon cypress]

just take a shot every time someone comes in here saying "wtf i just got an ad mid chat"

[manic drift]

yeah people are bound to ask but when i said it in gen 1 like two messages before 6 people asked i was just gonna bash my head into a wall

[manic drift]

its 10am but it may have to happen to get me through this

[rich wigeon]

better than typing it every time actually

[halcyon cypress]

girl are you crazy stay out of gen1

they're rabid in there

[rich wigeon]

idk what's that, I've been chatting here only once every few months... You may never see me again.

[manic drift]

someone went to verified and said it and then went gen1 and then sas like “ITS UGLY” ok.???

[rich wigeon]

I get spawned here if there is an issue.

[manic drift]

is ur pfp ghost by any chance

[rich wigeon]

I do listen to Ghost, but no, it's Gesaffelstein.

[manic drift]

ahhh makes sense

[tulip pollen]

You don't go into gen1

[rich wigeon]

I like ghost too, my music taste is heavily metal, industrial and darkwave

[nimble scarab]

hi

[manic drift]

yeah its an unspoken rule but sometimes its funny 😞

[rich wigeon]

welcome

[manic drift]

im an emo lmaoo, i did see violent vira with kim dracula yesterday

[rich wigeon]

I've never been to a concert but only Hayko Cepkin, local metal singer here in Turkey. he is popular globally too I think. He does symphonic metal.

[nimble scarab]

i like metal music

[manic drift]

ah i’ve been to so many now its insane, im literally running out of bands to see

[rich wigeon]

I love metal, my usual go to styles are industrial metal like KMFDM, sometimes j-metal and death motel like rotting christ

[nimble scarab]

i like Rammstein

[rich wigeon]

I love rosenrot and Mein teil from them, my go to songs

[halcyon cypress]

i lurk sometimes but leave when i feel myself losing brain cells too quickly, usually takes around 5 min

[tulip pollen]

Gen1 is a nightmare

[nimble scarab]

i like most of their songs but yea

[rich wigeon]

never been there, I am glad I've never been there.

[halcyon cypress]

ive even seen mods admit to avoiding it lmaooo

[manic drift]

oh my god LMAOO they r so valid

[tulip pollen]

Then you know it's bad

[rich wigeon]

wild actually.

Now I wonder what's going on in there.

[halcyon cypress]

its more of a containment pen than a channel

[tulip pollen]

Yup

[manic drift]

honestly some people are pretty funny there tho

[halcyon cypress]

its brain rot

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[halcyon cypress]

low quality and dumb but can be entertaining or funny at times

dont want to overdo it

[rich wigeon]

Imma check it out sometime, y'all got me so damn interested.

[manic drift]

the person whos mocking them is great

[halcyon cypress]

lol depends on the time of day too

usually not as bad at night

[rich wigeon]

Must be like midnight for majority I think. It's 1.30pm here

[manic drift]

yes…

[halcyon cypress]

take a shot meg

[rich wigeon]

FR

[manic drift]

im gonna hit my vape instead of my shots rn but im gonna chug a cocktail later in solidarity of this

[rich wigeon]

I added some hard liq to my americano

marketing and hr management lecture same day. can not handle it.

[halcyon cypress]

i have a lecture today i am seriously considering skipping 🥲

[manic drift]

so valid skip

[rich wigeon]

Don't do it, save it for the end of the year... hot warm sunny days.

[manic drift]

im skipping all mine today because im not even at my uni LMFAOO

[halcyon cypress]

(i work full time and go to school part time bc i hate myself)

[rich wigeon]

I skip the hot days mostly, I hate the sun.

[manic drift]

i live a bus ride away from the beach, its gonna hate to see me coming when the sun comes out in britain

[rich wigeon]

same here, coastal city but I have fear of fish. I think it is called like megalohydrotalassophobia(?)

[manic drift]

ive always lived so undeadly far from the beach like its 3 hours away from my home city

but the moment that sun comes out? ill be drinking a lovely cocktail by a beach and thinking that life is amazing

[steep sphinx]

I live like a 10-ish minute walk away from the coast. Unfortunately the nearest open beach is in the next suburb

[manic drift]

i thought you was about to mention ads i was about to pray for my mental sanity

[rich wigeon]

I like to swim but like not not every week or so.

[proven thorn]

WHY is there ads in the middle of convos now

[rich wigeon]

you mentioned it yourself, hit the shot friend.

[tidal rapids]

I really thought that they said the ads wouldn’t affect our chats. I’m disappointed

[steep sphinx]

I mean, this is kind of Cai discussion so this would be the place to bring it up, this is more general type conversation

[tulip pollen]

Bug

[oak cedar]

You shouldn’t trust the words of a corporation lmao

[rich wigeon]

I JUST TEXTED IT.

[proven thorn]

Where does it say that?

[tidal rapids]

If that’s true, thank god

[manic drift]

wuhaaaay

[primal nexus]

reddit they haven’t said it here

[weak fjord]

Do you have the link by chance?

[rich wigeon]

It comes up for me when I search for it directly.

[primal nexus]

no </3 i’m pretty sure if you look it up it should come up

[steep sphinx]

Is it by Cai officially?

[primal nexus]

“cai ad in middle of chatting” or something

[weak fjord]

Thank you!

[manic drift]

yes an official person in the reddit

[orchid shard]

I was killing people then the bot said "I cannot assist with that" then I replied "Womp womp" and all it said was "Why must you act like this."

[halcyon cypress]

why do bots i put no effort into get interactions but ones i put effort into get none

[steep sphinx]

So it is confirmed a bug and not a test update? That seems a little fishy to me. How do you accidentally code an ad to trigger upon pressing the send button?

[manic drift]

it happens in the past tbf so its fine

[rich wigeon]

and they get flirty and so damn weird after around 30 messages. despite how you code it.

[nimble scarab]

i dont even c.ai anymore since the moderation

[steep sphinx]

Maybe I’m just being skeptical but what if they’re testing the waters with how far they can push ads and brushing it off as a ‘bug’?

[azure pebble]

I agree

[halcyon cypress]

like i make bots and if i make the greeting message "uh, hey" i get a bunch of interactions but if i write a bunch and put effort into making a story i get nothing lol

[manic drift]

honestly they wouldn’t make it so intrusive and horrid

[steep sphinx]

I have my doubts

[rich wigeon]

It'd only happen to few if it was a test, not majority.

[steep sphinx]

They’re really money-hungry and more ads=more money

[proven thorn]

They deleted half their bots with no warning, they’ll definitely throw ads in the middle of convos

[rich wigeon]

btw even the words you censor comes out in the messages sometimes. It's so damn tiring.

[halcyon cypress]

every company on earth is money hungry. this is a meaningless statement. companies exist to be profitable, if they didn't they would be shitty companies. or they'd be charities.

[cosmic goblet]

If you're talking about the moderated bots I'm pretty sure there was an announcement for those

[steep sphinx]

That was a legal issue I believe, they didn’t really have a choice there

[azure pebble]

For 4 years I have been using the app, this is the worst decision I have ever known at c.ai

[steep sphinx]

Of course all companies are money hungry, but a lot of them try to balance profit with user satisfaction. Character ai notoriously does not

[west blaze]

Uhh guys? Have you noticed the ads rate have increased?

[manic drift]

its a bug for the ones mid chat

[nimble scarab]

i have less ads on YT

[west blaze]

Yea mid chats..

[halcyon cypress]

people when when a company wants to make money 😧

[manic drift]

and they are a bug and teams aware of it

[west blaze]

Ohhh ok

[halcyon cypress]

then why call them money hungry, call out the real issue which is lack of customer satisfaction and communication

[cosmic goblet]

I have so many on YT it's crazy, ads on other apps don't even bother me anymore cause of how many there are on YT

[rich wigeon]

I'd talk about it as I am a business major... but I'd not shut up so I am chosing to not comment.

[steep sphinx]

Because they are prioritising monetisation over user experience

[nimble scarab]

i have less ads on my pc then my phone on yt

[halcyon cypress]

them wanting to make money is completely fair, but its also fair for customers to expect value in return

[orchid shard]

Everyones talking about ads apparently

[halcyon cypress]

don't blame you lol

[tulip pollen]

Hi Ingo

[orchid shard]

I haven't noticed anything personally but that's just me

[cosmic goblet]

Hiya Ace!

[rich wigeon]

I have so much stuff to say about it...

[manic drift]

oh my goodness i have been given another cinnamoroll plush.

[orchid shard]

gib me

[rich wigeon]

I need more hard liq in my coffee...

[halcyon cypress]

i'm sure you have a better take than "omg they're so money hungry!"

[manic drift]

i made a baileys hotchocolate for this

[rich wigeon]

Yeah, it is much more than just being money hungry...

[rich wigeon]

I put votka hahahfh, I had it in my bag smh

[manic drift]

im a massive cinnamoroll fan i even have a tattoo LMAOO

[halcyon cypress]

cai's worst issue imo is lack of a good comms team

they are horribleeee at communicating with users

[rich wigeon]

they prioritize the usage of the app rather than customer satisfaction and PR.

[nimble scarab]

i want the bots to come back

[halcyon cypress]

exactly

[tulip pollen]

FR

[halcyon cypress]

a lot of backlash and anger could be mitigated if they just had a better PR/comms team imo, but i guess i'm biased

[copper ledge]

I dont understand why these people who are so upset about the ads dont just use the website...

[rich wigeon]

I think most likely they are investing in coding and making sure they get more deals and ads to grow their shareholder value.

[cosmic goblet]

THISS!! If we just had good communication regarding updates and bugs I'd be fine...trying to escalate a bug is like trying to speak to the wizard of Oz it's impossible

[rich wigeon]

some people are on phones yk, browsers are laggy and hard to use on phones.

[primal nexus]

prob because they dont think about it

[tulip pollen]

Exactly

[halcyon cypress]

yep but what good is that if customer retention fails bc everyone is pissed off at you 😭

[tulip pollen]

Exactly they need to think about that

[rich wigeon]

shareholder value and revenues weights heavier than customer satisfaction. They are focusing on bringing in more customers rather than keeping the customer.

[manic drift]

yeah im oblivious of business stuff tbf

[cosmic goblet]

Like you submit a ticket that gets drowned out by thousands of others, you ping a poor mod who isn't even part of the cai dev team to boost your ticket and then have to bug them consistently for updates regarding the issue because even they're not sure if things are bugs or new features

[halcyon cypress]

yeah but brand image is important too

[tulip pollen]

Yup exactly like that

[rich wigeon]

it is but I don't think they prioritize that rn

[halcyon cypress]

definitely not

[cosmic goblet]

I feel like I'd have better luck wandering up to Buckingham Palace and speaking to the King himself

[tulip pollen]

They for sure aren't doing it

[proven thorn]

Back in my day there was no ads, no edit button, horrible memory, delete buttons that told you how many messages you were deleting

[tulip pollen]

Same

[halcyon cypress]

back in your day everything was propped up on venture capital lol

[rich wigeon]

yep... They have to start prioritizing it and focus on having the users stay and suggest it to some people rather than trying to bring in new users.

[cosmic goblet]

Tbf the edit button is an absolute godsend of a feature, one of the only decent things they added alongside pinned messages

[tulip pollen]

I agree the edit button is a life saver

[halcyon cypress]

agreed. especially bc an app like cai is really advertised mainly by word of mouth

[proven thorn]

Oh definitely. I’m just saying the app was a lot more simple when it was relatively niche. I’ve been using it on and off since 2022

[rich wigeon]

I remember the app was morely focused on user experience back then... like 2 years ago.

[cosmic goblet]

Oh same I've been using it since early 2023 and I do miss the old website, but it did have it's flaws

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[tawdry patrol]

Mid convo and I got a ad…oh nah

[rich wigeon]

welcome to the gang.

[analog crane]

everything is about money 🙁

[tawdry patrol]

They lost they rabid ass minds

[cosmic goblet]

I'm honestly surprised people are only just getting mid convo ads, I've been having them for 2 weeks

[rich wigeon]

I do miss the old app.

[manic drift]

buuuuuug 😞 its a bug

[tulip pollen]

Same here

[proven thorn]

The devs know that they could do whatever they want and they’ll still have a large user base because people are addicted so they included ads (if it’s not a bug) and will just wait for people to accept it

[rich wigeon]

how many shots has it been?

[tawdry patrol]

Fix that bug now….

[manic drift]

too much my baileys hotchocolate is almost gone.

[violet drift]

It better be. Because I swear man.

[rich wigeon]

noo, I had 2 shots of votka only...

[cosmic goblet]

I feel like the devs are prioritising things for investors to make the company look better after all the legal issues rather than prioritising the userbase

[manic drift]

confirmed on reddit so don’t worry

[tawdry patrol]

And they just don’t post anything to the discord why??

[rich wigeon]

I've been talking about this past 5 minutes

[cosmic goblet]

Sorry twin I didn't see your messages 😭

[rich wigeon]

It's finee, there is so many messages. It is kind of behind

[violet drift]

I know right, I'm waiting for it too. Sickening really

[manic drift]

because its so late for them so its fine

[tawdry patrol]

Nah them getting a copyright strike about the marvel bots is so dumb

[cosmic goblet]

Disney were concerned about what people were using the bots for after seeing all the lawsuits

[rigid copper]

Has anyone gotten annoyed by the ads on cai lately or is it just me?

[near prism]

Did they just have another update with adds on the top of the screen plus whenever you press a single button

[manic drift]

ads mid chat are bugs

ive actually become so used to this ive mixed ad and bug together they are becoming one in my mind

[tawdry patrol]

Wait I just noticed other ai chat bot places still haven’t gotten copyrighted so maybe there is hope

[halcyon cypress]

they're too small and irrelevant for the companies to care

[tawdry patrol]

Poly.ai my beloved

[tawdry patrol]

Good!!

[halcyon cypress]

yeah disney has never heard of them

[tawdry patrol]

And I hope they never will…

[rich wigeon]

someone needs to pin the damn message.

[tulip pollen]

Really?

[manic drift]

im gonna be thinking of this in my sleep now

[halcyon cypress]

that would require a mod, they're in bed letting their heatless curls set

[cosmic goblet]

Literally we need an announcement to stop people from spreading panic and false information

[manic drift]

everytime i say ads im gonna be conditioned to just sob and take a shot

[rich wigeon]

gonna have androgenic alopecia.

[tawdry patrol]

No fr

It’s a lot more calmer in here rhen when the site goes down

[hot ridge]

wait it was confirmed???

[heavy grove]

Hello, people.

[manic drift]

yes on reddit

[cosmic goblet]

Every channel and even the subreddit is flooded with people talking about the ads, if we had an announcement confirming that it's a bug everything would be much calmer

[heavy grove]

Mhm, just saw it in Reddit or Discord.

[tawdry patrol]

CARROT MENTIONED

[halcyon cypress]

even if they have its, again, too small and irrelevant for them to really care about it.

[hot ridge]

thank christ

[heavy grove]

Might be a bug but I heard someone said it's not...

So, I don't really know who to believe.

[hot ridge]

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[manic drift]

im gonna get ready to go out for lunch w my sister so ill see u guys later maybe 😞

[halcyon cypress]

they wouldn't be asking people to report if it were an intentional roll out

[heavy grove]

Hmmm, I kinda see now.

[tawdry patrol]

How are you able to use emojis from diffeent servers??

[hot ridge]

i think you have to verify your discord on c.ai to do that

[tawdry patrol]

Thanks twinn

[hot ridge]

go to web c.ai and settings, then go to community (discord), then link account

[maiden bison]

the ads in the middle of my chat are so annoying holy shit

[manic drift]

OH MY BELOVED MESSAGE

[tulip pollen]

No I think you need nitro actually because I know you can't use emojis from other severs unless you have nitro

Edit: Oh wait yeah you have to verify to use them

[hot ridge]

they have nitro

[tulip pollen]

I noticed, my bad

[maiden bison]

how do you report them? It's getting so annoying now

[hot ridge]

you're right though

[fleet flume]

Just woke up, did they get rid of mid chat ads yet?

[hot ridge]

people do need nitro too

[tulip pollen]

Yeah I just noticed they had nitro already that's why I edited it

[hot ridge]

on reddit they said to report it if you're experiencing it so it's presumed that they are a bug!

[fleet flume]

THANK GOD

[hot ridge]

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=16050152195355

[maiden bison]

hopefully they're a bug bc the ads at the start as you open them is annoying enough

[fleet flume]

Agreed

[tawdry patrol]

I did it

me if you care

[tulip pollen]

Yay

[tawdry patrol]

[harsh olive]

I’m actually so done I just got an ad after sending a MESSAGE, I didn’t even change the chat

[tender lion]

I appriciate what you're doing in here.

I'm a bad mood so I lashed at some guys in feesback but I appologised.

I envy your patience.

[halcyon cypress]

i've been called rude and told to stfu multiple times tonight lol

appreciate you saying that

[verbal pasture]

took a break from discord in hopes of people not saying "what's up with the ads in chats???? i hate it!!!!" . oh how wrong i was.

[serene laurel]

Why is there ads when im trying to chat? I thought they said that wouldn't happen

[verbal pasture]

oh my fucking god bruh

[umbral oriole]

so gang…the ad evey 9 messages

[serene laurel]

Mine has been every 10 minutes

[runic egret]

It’s so annoying

[umbral oriole]

ur lucky! mines every 9 messages

[hot ridge]

Yay! Glad it worked! Sorry I was cleaning up cat mess

[hardy lark]

Same here!

[tender lion]

No problemo
I think you do good job in here.

Among misinformation here.

[serene laurel]

Surly they have to fix it right?

[verbal pasture]

do you people need to be personally told it's most likely a bug????

[small loom]

do you need to be personally told your rude

[tender lion]

Most likely cause it's a bug probably.

It's 3am in California from where team works.
They don't work yet.

[verbal pasture]

read up in the channels oh my fucking gooooood its all thats being discussed atm its been said many many many times its a bug

[serene laurel]

Sorry I didnt see that message why are you being so rude? If you are annoyed dont take it out on everyone else

[small loom]

right

[serene laurel]

Thank you

[hot ridge]

bruh chill it's not that serious

[halcyon cypress]

why is everyone complaining about the banner ads now

[hot ridge]

a new wave got them

[halcyon cypress]

literally a few months ago everyone in feedback was begging for banner ads

[runic egret]

I can live with the banners but those mid chat ads are terrible

[hot ridge]

there was a thread but a lot of people don't go in feedback. Also the reason people were begging for banner ads is because they didn't like the ad popup every time they opened a bot

now instead of replacing it we have both

[runic egret]

Feels dystopian

[halcyon cypress]

how

[placid dagger]

Oh i'm not the only one ! It's annoying !!

[umbral oriole]

ooooo it’s 7pm for me

[runic egret]

It doesn’t I just want a reason to r i ot

[runic egret]

Yep. Worst thing since the electric mouse trap

[placid dagger]

Why do they do that ?

[halcyon cypress]

it's a bug

[placid dagger]

A bug ? Are you sure ?

[halcyon cypress]

the devs are sleeping. its 3am where they are

[analog crane]

i feel like they just wanted to add the banner ads and accidentally added ads during chat

[halcyon cypress]

yes they already told people to report it if they get an ad mid chat bc its not supposed to be happening

[halcyon cypress]

yes that's most likely it

[placid dagger]

Ah great so it's gonna be removed ?

[halcyon cypress]

they recently changed the ad system and bugs during rollout are extremely common tbh

[hot ridge]

idk I feel like they added ads mid chat on purpose and then called it a bug after backlash

but im cynical

[halcyon cypress]

since when do they care about backlash

[iron spire]

You guys still get ads mid chat?

[placid dagger]

Yes

[hot ridge]

they've reversed updates a few times in the past year over backlash

[halcyon cypress]

the backlash over this isn't even half as bad as the age verification stuff

[iron spire]

I only got 1 yesterday and never got it again😭

[hot ridge]

the updated filter that they tried to implement for one

and then the accessibility settings

[halcyon cypress]

the backlash over adding ads in the first place was worse too

[harsh stratus]

So are the ads permanent or not

[hot ridge]

I didn't say they reverse every update over backlash, just some over the past year

[hot ridge]

ads are permanent

but the placement between messages is not

[frank owl]

I’m back are the mid chat adds gone

[hot ridge]

at least as far as people presume, since a mod on reddit said to submit a bug report about it

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=16050152195355
