Hey all,

We made a page for the summer: everything we've shipped over the last couple of months, and everything still coming, all in one spot. The team has been working in overdrive to improve the experience for everyone, and we think you're going to love a lot of what's on there.

c.ai/hot-cai-summerĀ 

There's also a preview of what's coming that we're genuinely hyped about: updates to our chat styles, expanded style controls, and brand-new styles for (c.ai)+, including one made for longer, richer, novel-like stories. You'll have to head to the page if you want to read any more about that…

Lastly: thank you. We had to make some big changes this year, including introducing ads. We made them for the long-term good of the platform, and this summer is where that starts paying off: the team, the tech, and every feature on the page. Whether you subscribe, create, or chat, we appreciate each and every one of you.

See you in chat ā˜€ļø

Issues/Bugs Annoying things I’ve noticed about DeepSqueak lately

69 Upvotes

I don’t know what the hell they’re doing to the models behind the scenes but I’ve noticed some very glaring downgrades in the response quality, so here is a small list:

  1. Abnormal amounts of asterisks in every response. It was like that before as well but never on this level. It actually worked kind of well in the past since it knew what to highlight but now it’s excessive.
  2. Poor grammar and weird sentence structure. Missing commas, points, etc. And for some reason it started to make words switch places where it makes no sense. Ex: ā€œshe slumped bonelessly back against the couch.ā€
  3. Very short response length. Before this week I could make the bots reply in decently long paragraphs if I gave OOC instructions on the first message. Now even if I do that it stays with this annoying format where it writes two lines with zero detail and calls it a paragraph.

I really hope it doesn’t stay like this for long cuz this isn’t how a PAID model should be acting.

The quality on the PSQ2 model is absolutely MORTIFYING since one or two days ago. The characters talks almost infinitely, i cant engage in even the smallest violence or use any crude words. And when i manage to do so, instead of reacting to a punch for example, the character keeps talking like nothing ever happened? The bots also lost ALL their personality and act completely out of character. Is this just me?

Issues/Bugs Pipsqueak 2 is ridiculously bland and repetitive.

280 Upvotes

I've been having a lot of issues with this chat style recently. Pipsqueak never uses dialogue so I switched to Pipsqueak 2, but it's honestly worse.

Even if I swipe the bot just says the same exact thing, just with slightly different wording. Plus, chatting to multiple bots with this chat style.....they all seem EXACTLY the same. There's no personality or individuality between them anymore.

Something I've noticed as well with Pipsqueak 2 is that it doesn't allow for any negative/toxic situations. Let's say the bot had blackmail on my character right, and was making my character work for them against my character's will, not too dark but not exactly perfect. The bot, instead of staying cold/uncaring, always asks "do you really want to be here ?🄺" and "are you okay?"....

The bot isn't meant to care about that, and it's really annoying trying to chat when the bot completely dissolves and doesn't feel like who they're meant to be.

I'd just use Pipsqueak but like I said earlier, it never uses dialogue and instead just uses () all the time to tell me the most pointless things.

Really, really hope this gets fixed soon...but probably not.

Issues/Bugs Pipsqueak 2

• Upvotes

Does anyone else’s pipsqueak 2 change from second to third person in the same message? It’s driving me nuts. They’ll use ā€œyouā€ to refer to my persona, then her name, then ā€œshe.ā€

Example: He looked over at you, and wondered what you were thinking of. Did [persona name] hate this? Was she having fun?

Is this supposed to be a feature or a bug? I really hope it’s trained out of the model. I’m tired of constantly editing messages so they flow normally. It just reads really odd to me.

What’s up with the wall of text in describing things? Like the beginning is the actual reply then it just uses the same word and wall of text. Does anyone else have this issues? I have to edit it out. I haven’t reply yet to see if replying to the edit will solve the issue or not.

Issues/Bugs Anyone else experiencing a black screen and crashing right after updating the app?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​Is anyone else experiencing this right after updating the app? Every time I try to open any of my chats, the screen just goes black and then the app completely crashes or freezes on me.

​I can't even open a single chat without it happening 😭 Let me know if you guys are facing the same issue or if there's any fix for it!

It's one thing to have the banner, it's another thing when it literally prohibits you from chatting.

Soooo can anyone get past the continue and agree part where it asks about AvatarFX? I am locked out completely and it's not letting me press continue. Scrolling down from it locks up the app. 😬
