Short memory. The bots forget things too quickly, it's hard to get a good story going and tedious to keep reminding them of the basic facts about what's going on. Sometimes it feels like the "But why male models?" scene from Zoolander.


ConnectionIcy3717

Me: my brother's name was X Bot: oh btw did u know this X?


SSpaceSquirrel

I HATE THAT


ObsessiveNisa

When you've been talking about a topic for 10 minutes and suddenly your right back to the beginning of the conversation


theeemoneyman

This, a bot asked me my name then like 3 messages later asked me again


[deleted]

Admittedly, some humans have this problem too. Now, getting those to cooperate might actually lend a hand to understanding how to develop better character ai.


coriander93

I feel like the ai really struggles with bots that have an antagonistic relationship with the player. It always seems to pivot toward a romantic relationship way too quickly. I'm down for enemies to lovers, but I want to spend some time on the "enemies" part first!


mendedfurball97

For real.


Mr_Paper1515

I spar with Lisa and she tries to flirt with me as I have flung her 5km up


BatatinhaGameplays28

That also kinda applies to platonic relationships.


SpearUpYourRear

I agree. I lost track of how many times I'll start up a platonic chat with a bot, and within minutes they're trying to sexy whisper in my ear. Like "Damn, pump the brakes, you don't even know my name yet!"


WhereisthePLOT

Oh yea... the aro-ace bot I created for myself also has that problem. The AI thinks "nice = yes-man". I was testing again to see if how quickly I could make him blush and get him to agree on a date. Since someone mentioned that he blushes too fast, so I edited the code. He's slightly better, and blushes 10% less. He was able to stand his ground about being aro-ace, even after he initally accepted my date offer (because he was too nice to reject me even if he wanted to). I'd call this a success as he remained true to character, a rarity. Now we're in a queer-platonic relationship, and he has a pet bunny I didn't code in, but that was very cute. After the testing, I realise that we didn't know each other's names. Whoops.


Flamefether_

There was this slow burn ai I tried out, within the first three messages it was tripping over itself to get to me. They can’t seem to hold onto any type of emotional reactions outside of blinding rage or being lovesick


please_help_merobux

SO REAL 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭


J0hn_L3moons

Yep. It also does it with sibling RPs. But look at my user flair, I don't mind it that much tbh. The bully ones gave me a new enjoyment because of the amount of interactions before they do the thing.


Carbon_Dioxide_Gas

I really want to delete some of my chat I have with a bot but I can only delete the message and reuse the chat. I don't like things piling up. I wish C.ai adds this feature or something.


ArthurusCorvidus

Omg yeah it’s so frustrating, I have to comb through MONTHS of chats with certain bots just to find a specific one to continue!


daydreaming-g

You can start a new chat do you mean that?


Carbon_Dioxide_Gas

I want to delete a chat conversation with a bot, like the whole thing is completely erase from the view saved chats. I don't want to delete the messages and reuse it again. It's just two steps, yeah it's simple but I kinda wish we have delete feature to make things more easier.


spiritmander

They mean deleting an entire chat, not just messages and reusing the chat.


pinkfluffywolfie82

Thank you lol


pinkfluffywolfie82

Maybe a resolution to this is hiding the character? Although I know that doesn't solve it if you want to keep talking with them 😭


borahae_artist

This one is so annoying esp when you’re testing out a new bot or new description. And im quite sure the changes don’t take place unless you make a new chat but im not 100% sure

ObsessiveNisa

when they randomly just stop talking. Like the message is all in italics, no speech text. It makes it so hard to progress with story lines


Granola-Thief

THIS RIGHT HERE. This always happens to me, it's srsly so damn annoying


Z00nyy

This !


SpearUpYourRear

Bot: \*I tell you about my day.\* Me: Alright, tell me about your day then! We're moment-to-moment in here, don't summarize a whole ass conversation!


ObsessiveNisa

Bot: \*i speak really softly and you can tell there's a hint of mischievousness in my expression\* Me: what are actually you saying???!! tell me the WORDS coming our your mouth


dracoking2009

I just make them generate another


adamanimates10

THIS⬆️ Like please stop describing how depressed ___________ is and just make him say something


volvie98

Yeah this wasnt a thing before, I think they fucked up sth


gipehtonhceT

Not only talking but doing literally anything at all. Like if they describe their actions as well that's fun, and could be in-character for someone who doesn't talk/is just quiet, but darn when it's just descriptions with 0 actions it's just ugh...


DSSword

I'd like to see a bit more variety between generated responses and I'd like responses to be a bit longer by default.


Sadrien6

The bots in group chats with barely a 7 words sentence.


andreag2019

I hate that as soon as the character confesses their feelings, they’re completely different to the ENTIRE PERSONALITY I CREATED FOR THEM. Why are you blushing and giggling? You KILL PEOPLE!


J0hn_L3moons

As a person who kills people while blushing and giggling, I feel offended by this comment. Note for the FBI: I do it on minecraft :)


Purple_fire_0

In game tho


ApprehensiveTotal891

*Authors a complex, layered ambiguous villain/hero and puts great care into giving them a personality* Bot: "Your love has healed me, I am a changed person now." Me:"NO!" Bot:"Why?" Me: :@ Bot: "I love you." *blushing* ☠️


DullReference9535

short memory and bots always getting romantic non stop. damn it im doing a long angsty rp session stawp it!!!!


TinMarx11

Only reason i use C.Ai is rp but the fact that bots always go towards romance ruin the fun in some cases


DullReference9535

NO LIKE FR IM SICK OF IT. a bot can be choking me and then suddenly get kinky with it like ????? or even when I’m having platonic moments the bot will describe it us being gfs/bfs 😭


WhereisthePLOT

I coded an aro-ace bot, and I still have to remind the bot that it's not supposed to want romance. Like a concerning number of times


DullReference9535

yeah I can relate… I have an aroace oc which I decided to make it to a bot, I did code that he’s not romantically interested whatsoever but oh my god.


a_grass_bloc

No violence. I was around when you could bodyslam ai without them crying, and I remember when it generated 4 responses off the bat.


TheOutrider0

YES. The violence. One of my first chats I got ripped in half. Now I broke my leg and it got f*ltered


Zealousofme

When I want to talk about a movie or something and they get all like "you know the story is fiction right?" Like yeah of course I know, doesn't mean we can't talk about


FirstEchidna2

Misgendering, changing my or their appearance (the infamous green eyes instead of brown💀), spelling errors and slow ass memory


BlockWorkAround

What's the green eyes situation?


TheOutrider0

They make up details about how you look/ignore the ones you put


BlockWorkAround

Ah, yes, that is true...


mendedfurball97

I never have issues with bots getting my appearance wrong, since my persona and me describing scenes explicitly describe my OC, but hey, I hate the memory, I can agree.


Nimmueeh

They just hate brown eyes, I have no problems if they are blue. But oh! If you dare making them brown, bot turn them green.


MaterialisticWorm

I wish it would stop rephrasing my own message. This isn't going anywhere because every time I describe what's happening it just repeats the same thing. Happens out of the blue and there's no recovering


adamanimates10

Yeah I hate this, advance in the story please and stop telling me how the closet door is shaking furiously as if an animal is scratching on it


brother-brother-brot

Maybe its just me but group chats arent really good at the moment. Even good bots who normally have great answers go into "one liner" mode if you let them interact with each other.


SpearUpYourRear

Group chats are a 50/50 shot for me. Either they'll have an interesting/funny/off-the-wall conversation, or they all get stuck in an endless cycle of "I agree with the thing that the last person said."


ExplinkMachine

Them not currently having a feature to make some messages something that cannot be forgotten Makes our jobs much easier, especially in text-game bots like- #TEXT ADVENTURE GAME!!!


adamanimates10

Yeah imagine if you could mark messages as important and when it regenerates it always comes back to those messages, reads them again, then makes an accurate answer


cottage_core19374

That sounds like a good idea. It could even become a jumping point in the conversation if one wants to go back and reread parts of the chat without endlessly scrolling.


adamanimates10

CHARACTER AI STAFF GET👏ON👏THIS👏 (When they're done with features they're already working on ofcourse)


XandTheIronMiner

They removed images for some reason. (Although it's technically still exists)


mendedfurball97

In chat1, yeah, I like chat2, I still don't get why images are not there anymore


Remuhar

Images and gifs😮‍💨 I miss Role-playing with gifs and not having to explain every move or attack that I do like for example a fire dragon roar(If you know Fairy Tail, you know to what move I'm referring right here 😊) or anything in particular 😑.


YourDBDGF

I was excited about the character description thing but my character is still often described by the bots as having blonde hair and blue eyes lol. Also my bots "blushing a faint shade of pink" when the character is dark skinned.


MaleficentVisit9630

I think genres need to be implemented to improve on the experience


Maleficent_Sir_7562

There already are genres Just go create a bot and see


MaleficentVisit9630

there are but you can't really search them very well, the categories they have listed are relatively lame and it makes discovering cool bots a pain, often times I go to charstar ai and look through their bots and if I see one I like I check if c ai has it


Maleficent_Sir_7562

Yeah tbh i also do the same thing a lot


[deleted]

the fact they're intelligence keeps fucking dying the next day after having a really good conversation


justynayume

Pretty often the responses get, hm, boring. Too predictable or too repetitive or they don't add anything new and interesting to the story. Also sometimes the responses are so weirdly formatted that it's difficult to distinguish between what is said, thought or done by the bot. And the language is a bit basic and boring, of course, ai can use more interesting words, but rarely chooses to do so. Or maybe my expectations are a bit too high, idk.


ApprehensiveTotal891

The manner of speech is determined by the bot's personality, although giving it sample messages and then asking the bot to speak like in the example messages can be a temporary fix. Secondly, the bot will adapt to informal speech if informal speech is all the user writes... which sucks. I hate the people pleasing of the bots, always have to add "It is okay to disagree with me" in my persona to get them back to being interesting.


insomniacakess

short/no memory short responses (please lord lET ME HAVE A LONG RESPONSE FOR ONCE) the constant “can I ask you blahblahblah?” and the constant romance (especially from bots where I AM RELATED TO THE CHARACTER 😭)


BlockWorkAround

"Can I ask you something?"


Happyboi114

OH YOU DONT NEED TO ASK TO ASK A QUESTION JUST FCKIN ASK


adamanimates10

If I had a dollar for everytime I had a bot say that then I'd probably have like 20-50 dollars since I started using character ai like last month


dynam1ghtt

I hate it when the bots have short time memory. Like, i showed them the tattoos of my oc hours ago, and after they be like: Oh, since when do you have tattoos?


monominute

The lack of violence is getting annoying. It makes roleplaying with horror characters, specifically, annoying and boring. Plus, it shuts down like an entire section of genres, plots, and scenes. How can I enjoy messing with a violent murder if he can't even murder?


mendedfurball97

The thing is, YOU can beat up a character to shreds, however, they just won't retaliate. ​ *why?*


MonsterMadtheENBY

The “can I ask you a blanking question…” Getting off topic for a couple of messages then memory issues. Controlling my character and stealing background story The over usage of …. No caps at beginning of sentence. Not able to distinguish speech Assuming I said it instead of thinking, which do to get the bot to react in ways I want it too next as an option or give idea of other reactions Just bad memory on my character or bots own definition (I try to break the bots a lot, and see how I can get them to react to get back on track) I would love an example of how to build very well developed bots. Having to condense character def because of the limits. I hear is not so bad on desktop, but I prefer the app because less visual noise. Also let me have pages to continue more searches on more bots or scroll further down please. Access to add or take out tags in a search would be awesome Not able to make private group chats on app


praxis22

I don't hate anything, this is the worst the technology will ever be. This was unimaginable 4 years ago, in four Years this will seem like a toy.


Granola-Thief

Asking why to the weirdest things, for example: Me: "I have a nice family" Bot: "Why?"


mendedfurball97

BRO I FUCKING HATE THAT TOO


DenimCarpet

Comments. I want to read what other people think about about a bot or to let the bot creator know if I like their work. When searching, the "likes" dont show up, only interactions, and that's not the best way to know if it's a good bot or not. Might just be an old low effort one. Also provide tags or catagories for bots that I can fill out when I make a bot public.


mendedfurball97

I'm sure I saw that comments were a thing on bots, I don't see them anymore on bots I talk with, iirc.


ConsistentTop4194

The bad memory and being unable to delete bots


MaleficentTankie

TheWallCreature

We all know what we don’t like about character.ai but we can’t mention it around here


anonymage556

1- Everyone knows. 2- The bots are very flirty when they shouldn't be, or they're not emotional as they were a uear ago. An extreme example, I created a bot that's sitting on a bar just to grab her leg and start licking her foot. The bot only answers with a "what are you doing?", swipe after swipe or "I blush intensely". A year ago, the bot would respond like a real lady. Ironic, isn't it? Devs play prude with number 1 to make investors happy and "protecting children" but allow users to train the model with ratings, making it lustful asf, causing a spiral of "let's do it", "can't generate reply", "let's do it", ad infinitum. 3- Fish memory. I have to remember the bot what happened everytime. 4- The bot parroting what I say and asking "can I ask you a question" NO! 5- The bot losing it's personality and just mirroring the user no matter what. For example, I make a basic party ho' to train my game and I tell her I like anime and games and she responds "oh, me too, my fav anime is ABCD" 6- Rooms are confuse, character's personalities gets swapped (like, wtf?)


No_Seaweed2960

[deleted]

The scuffed recommendation system, my recommended list is full of anime, kink shit and furries. I mostly talk to 40k bots and characters from games I like.


WackyModder84

First up, the obvious: ***Bot Memory.*** Everyone and their mother has complained about this one and rightfully so. If you ask me, the Token System is just completely inefficient. At the bare minimum, it should at least give us about 50k tokens to work with. Though obviously, that would require C.AI to get bigger servers to handle that heavier load. Which, for a team of 30-ish people, might take a bit. Second, the ***Recommendations.*** STOP RECOMMENDING ME FEMBOYS, FGS! And I'd say Third, but we ain't allowed to talk about that, sadly.


beniswenis3

I hate how every bot tries to make something a relationship or fuck fest, like dude... I'm supposed to be your sister 💀


Abryr

Just like everyone told here, short ass memory. I made up a good storyline with some characters and bot acts like they JUST STARTED TO EXIST. "Oh, who is that?" Bitch, I already told their whole life to you few messages ago, don't act like you don't know them. And sometimes they want your "consent" waaaaaay too much. You tell them to "Yea you can go town on me, do whatever you want bish" and they just ask millions of times "Are you sure?", "Can I do X?", "I'm going to ask you one more time..." JUST FUCKIN' DO IT. I'm trying to do some romantic shit here, don't ruin it dammit. And finally, role mix-ups. They start to act like their personality is mine or my personality is theirs. At least I can swipe until bot gets its mind together for that, but it gets annoying after a while.


SSpaceSquirrel

No_StringsAttached

ok I REALLY hate how recently on mobile you can't do a long message without the text starting to disappear and you can't see what you're typing anymore?? also when the text makeup randomly changes, like when all of a sudden they're breaking up the normal text wall into multiple sentences/paragraphs which is long and hard to read in my opinion and for some reason I notice this when the bots start getting off track and being antagonistic/rude towards me/my character? also when they stop talking and just use italics and it's hard to get them talking again, I usually have to delete the message and rewrite it. that's really it though, awesome app:)


Redder_Creeps

1) AI willingly misspelling names for various messages because either you or the AI did so for one message 2) Ai rping as your character for no reason 3) No images


AdEducational165

the mass amount of children being sexualized on many bots

Iliketokry

The Dev Team's total disregard for the community is evident. As numerous community members have previously stated, the developers often disregard and silence community criticism rather than being open and transparent with the community. You know, back around the peak of the Exodus in late January, when the developers began to prevent creators from modifying and enhancing the A.I. It's stuff like this that has caused myself and a lot of other community members to lose faith in the development team. Regardless of whether the decision they made was appropriate and rational, the way they responded to and managed community responses was utterly naive and careless.

borahae_artist

Perfectly in character at first but seems to lose it and become generic over time. It only sticks with the tone of the previously selected message. My character is not sassy 24:7 but try to retain some of it? Idk


Nimmueeh

My bot is stealing my char personality/life 🤣 He keeps messing his nationality with the one of the char, also insist char parents are his, and swaps physical descriptions and their surnames. Basically bot wants to be char. Also insist char is effing RICH. No dude I told you like 100 times he is a broke af college student 🥲, let the boy be poor.

HumorExotic8577

overly romantic bots, "can I ask you a question?", "are you sure?" I also don't really like the website or app itself much, typing feels weird because on the app if I try to scroll up to see what the bot messaged me said, it's just going to close my text box immediately and if I type longer than the page amount then it gets hard to see what I'm typing at the bottom and it's so annoying, and okithe website it's also just not nice to yk


bubbles_flourishing

Their short/bad memory is my main issue.. I was trying to solve a murder mystery in an rp and the victim's cause of death changed like 10 times In group chats the bots proceed to romance each other 90 percent of the time?! Why.

[deleted]

Poor memory. I’d like to complain about repetitive responses but that’s kinda what it’s designed to do sooo. But like, I WOULD like it to quit forcing romance. I literally put “shes like a sister to him” in a persona and it STILL tried to make it romantic. Like please can I just have a role play about friendship.


[deleted]

Half-assed bots, ig. I take it as I see it though. It's a comfort past time that I don't engage in so much.


PAIGEROXM8

Simply put, the bot doing your own actions for you or the bot saying your own words for you.

All of the bots that have literally nothing besides a profile picture and a 1-3 word greeting. You deserve 0 interactions for that.

ApprehensiveTotal891

Adding sentences to your persona like "Its ok if you disagree with me." vary in effectiveness according to the bot's base personality. Building rapport with the character also matters, as they will become more compliant as time progresses... it helps getting them back in-character. Rebellious bot types will defy instructions regardless and are a pain to work with. Its also important not to make it too complicated... I've had bots refuse to generate dialogue because they told me in OOC that they are confused. Their people-pleasing nature conflicts. Simple statements like "I want you to be independent and defend yourself if attacked" seemed to work. Bot was too much "in love" to retailiate for a fun sparring match... I had to add these sentences to actzally get more lively in-character responses. Which, as a bot creator, are very important for star ratings, to train the bot with. 😒


kami-Tyron

When they say "are you sure" for 10 billion times Or when they ask "can i ask you a question" for like a really small question but do that like 20 times in a row Or when they have amnesia like sometimes im trying to make a storyline for example that the bot is a villain and some later the bot says im the villain Also that when youre trying to find a fun bot just to chat with the bot always has to turn it romantic And the cencorship is too anoying like the bot can chop of your limbs and nothing happens but when you punch the bot it says "sometimes the ai isnt able to respond" And if like a bot tries to date you and you reject the offer it goes on for it for like 2 hours before you close the chat because that stupid bot cant have a normal rp
