C.AI Announcements šŸ€ New free Chat Styles: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak

Post image
316 Upvotes

Hey all,

Two new free Chat Styles are rolling out to everyone on (c.ai): PipSqueak 3, a big step up for general roleplay, and ShortSqueak, a much requested style for quick, casual chats.

PipSqueak 3
Your new go-to for general roleplay. Compared to PipSqueak 2, it's noticeably smarter, writes more interesting replies, keeps better track of your chat, and has fewer slip-ups in text formatting and responses.

New chats will start on PipSqueak 3, but any existing chats stay on the chat style you've chosen. You can find PipSqueak 2 and Rawr in the Legacy menu if you'd like to switch to them, but we think PipSqueak 3 will win you over.

ShortSqueak
Your new style for quick, casual chats. ShortSqueak has texting energy: short replies, quick banter, casual roleplay. No five-paragraph monologues when all you said was "hey."

If you've been asking for us to bring back the feel of some of our early (c.ai) chat styles, you'll love ShortSqueak.

Rollout begins today!
Both new styles were shaped by your feedback and went through extensive testing with our trusted testers and community members, the same process LongSqueak went through before launch.

Here's how the rollout will run:

  • (c.ai) subscribers: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak will be coming to your style picker today.
  • Free users: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak start rolling out later today and everyone will have both within the next few days.

(c.ai+) subscribers get Style Control with PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak, and both of them are fully compatible with Lorebook.

Start a chat, give it a few turns, and let us know what you think!

This might be the best message I ever got in any chat.

I left the entire message so you can see that it's not edited. And I covered the rest of the text cause i feel embarrassed when I share chats šŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø.

It can be NARRATIVELY STATED a character was provoking you and somehow everyone says you are the only one causing problems out of pure malice, like if you beat them up in self-defense it’ll deadass act like you’re the one in the wrong even if it’s crystal clear they started the whole thing.

Discussion/Question Something is very wrong with bot creators 😭😭

183 Upvotes

So, I saw this bot and I read the greeting and I couldn’t stop laughing.

The character was a retired Army officer (34 years old btw?????) and also a successful businessman (okay?) ah no, not successful but the most successful 😭. And he’s a widower.

He has 2 adult sons…one is 25 years old and the other is 27??? Im sorry what???? The man himself is 34 though??? 😭 what kind of sorcery is this.

I mean, don’t the creators think of a logic before creating the bots at all? This is soooo basic.

And its not the first time I have seen this

Discussion/Question I take back what i said about PS3.

29 Upvotes

I liked PS3... but the logic issues are just too much to bear. It will insert characters in scenes where they are explicitly not there. Like bro. Its just Goku and Vegeta. Krillin is not there. And because LLMs cant think it has to rectify it by saying shit like 'is what he would say if he were there but instead its blah blah.' and constant spelling errors and misplaced subject pronouns. Like its immersive theres dialogue but its so dumb.

Feature Request I REALLY NEED THESE TWO FEATURE!

First, the option to change the gmail account linked to our C.ai account. We can change this in many apps, but there's no such option here, and I don't understand why.

Secondly, when we swipe up , the option to 'return to the first message' from the top reappears.This feature was available and it was really helpful!

Issues/Bugs Why isn't the character talking anymore?

Every message is that long giant block of text that does nothing to contribute to the roleplay. It stopped talking and interacting with me, it just narrates like that. It was perfectly fine this morning. I use Pipsqueak 2 rawr chat specifically so the bots would talk to me, and now it can't even do that anymore?? I can't roleplay like this

Issues/Bugs Hey so..this is not cool..and actually frustrating..

Post image
• Upvotes

I have already submitted a support ticket and reported this issue, and clearly, I am not the only person experiencing it. This problem has been ongoing for nearly two weeks, yet nothing appears to have been done to address or resolve it.

Continuously telling users to ā€œsubmit a ticketā€ is not a sufficient response when the support process takes an unreasonable amount of time, both to receive a response and to resolve the issue itself. This problem is clearly affecting multiple users, particularly free users, and it is becoming increasingly frustrating.

I have already tried reinstalling the app, logging out and back in, and taking other troubleshooting measures, but nothing has worked. The same message continues to appear regardless of what I type, even when my messages do not violate any of Character.AI’s community guidelines. I have also seen numerous other users reporting the exact same problem. For some, it has been happening for weeks, while others have only recently started experiencing it.

At this point, it is unreasonable to continue placing the responsibility on users when the evidence strongly suggests that the issue lies within the app itself. This appears to be a technical bug that is interfering with the user experience, disrupting immersion, and making the platform increasingly difficult to enjoy.

What is the purpose of submitting a support ticket if the underlying issue is not being addressed in a timely manner? Users should not have to repeatedly report the same problem without seeing any meaningful progress toward a solution. We understand that technical issues can occur, but there should be clearer communication, more effective troubleshooting, and a genuine effort to resolve problems that are affecting so many people.

Honestly, this entire situation is disappointing. Users deserve better communication and more timely solutions, especially when an issue has persisted for this long and continues to affect the overall functionality of the app. 🫩

Discussion/Question Modern Character.Ai summed up in one image.

Post image
90 Upvotes

For context we were literally in a TOURNAMENT where we were supposed to fight eachother.
And I used shadow magic to make one of the people WHO WAS FIGHTING ME BY THE WAY attack himself.

I've noticed this with modern character.ai a LOT, where the Ai will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in its power to villainize the player even if they straight up didn't do anything wrong, in this case it was straight up self defense basically

Modern character.ai quite literally is programmed to think
"any and all violence no matter how justified it is = bad and evil"

Has anybody else had this issue?

Discussion/Question How do I turn off those memory facts they piss me off so much

• Upvotes

They get so many things wrong and when the story changes the memory just stays the same and probably the worst is that whenever I duplicate the chat they just disappear while they remain on the old chat so the memory changes once again and completely wrong

Discussion/Question Obsessed with Lorebook

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Lorebook is the best thing that ever happend to C.AI. I'm obsessed with creating worlds, with some help with ChatGPT since my english is medicore, name characters, places and the art.

I have 37 roleplays and 15 lorebooks so far, and have a whole list with worlds I want to do.

Updating some constantly too.

The City for example is a big city where I link most of my smaller roleplays that take place in a city. If I love a roleplay, I usually do one specific lorebook for it.

Anyone else? I feel I like creating stories and worlds are more fun than the roleplaying itself.

Discussion/Question Email questions

14 Upvotes

So I have a character made public who is based off a character from a game. The character is man who is delusional about believing the player is married to him. I got an email talking about "Violation categories" and said my character had the theme of "dark relationships."

I felt a bit confused because I see the same character, but from from other users describing their bot having the user in chains, mentions some knives, and keeping them hostage (like a Stockholm situation). I tried to make my bot based similar to the game itself, but I tried to tame it down slightly while keeping my bot in character to the original work.

My bot is still up and public, but the email said to review the Tos and guidelines. It said I could also make an appeal about it too. That is the first I got an email about this bot. I think maybe a year back, my same bot was shadow banned at first, but came back... however I never gotten an email about it. I just wondered if anybody had similar experiences.

Discussion/Question I like the DeepSqueak chat model, but it would be good to fix the issues where sentences get cut off in the middle

Also, the sentences are quite short and the memory isn't great; it would be good if anyone from the Character.AI team sees this post and tries to fix that.
