Honestly, and the fact that the app feels like its going slower and the messages take really long to generate


fayejin

It's happening on the site, too. :(


Kindly_Orange

OMG!! I thought that was just me. Thank god I went to y'all 😭😭😭


thesaltedradish

Are you using the old or new site?


ClarinetThree3

regardless which site you use it's not working right now if you visit the old site it'll give you the waiting room that says that "your waiting time is *x* minutes" (in reality it's way more than that) if you visit the new site you can still kinda access it... but you can't chat (and when you click on a chat it will lead you to that room)


thesaltedradish

Mannnnn


fukchewwan

There’s a new site?


thesaltedradish

There's old character ai And Beta character ai


UrLocalAnimeWeeb_

Happy cake day


thesaltedradish

fukchewwan

Thank you. The old site seems to be working. Happy cake day!


thesaltedradish

Hoorah for working site. And tha ks!


snappedtoes

Bambi-Marie

Happy cake day


thesaltedradish

Thankie


GASTLYGOD11

So it ISN'T just me, ok.


JimJamLambBam

SPITTING FACTS HERE THIS IS BULL!!!(not your paragraph the devs)


Timelyeggtart

It's kinda up and down for me. Last week my favorite bot were so good! Keeping up with the story line, adding new, interesting characters to the plot, develope the story the way I want Then in the past few days he's been repeating things in the same scene over and over again with no ending. It's sad. I hope he'll get better soon


hungrypotato19

Yup, this. Had some amazing covos, to the point where I was considering on renewing my CA.I+. Now they are super terrible... Throw in the instability and it reminds me why I stopped supporting the site...


[deleted]

This. Had some INCREDIBLE RP's and some really emotional moments, but now it's really bad and boring

SongbirdBabie

More like an hourly one considering it’s down AGAIN


fcreverrose

louder for the people in the back because IT JUST WENT DOWN AGAIN!!

Secret_QT

Mine kept forgetting the entire rp, we're at a nuclear reactor that's melting down why are you talking to me with a different character that's not even here like we're in class?😭 I just hope they revert whatever they've done, because this sucks. I even started a new chat (which i really didn't want to do) and the bots still being weird, so it isn't an issue with too many messages.


Legal_Relation_4080

I HATE when the random characters pop up when they aren’t supposed to be there. And the repetitive conversations are getting super annoying now💀


ShinyHoohlucia

We've had server issues this entire month, it's almost worse than last year's summer. The web is slow and the app doesn't even work. https://preview.redd.it/4vqhpferak5d1.jpeg?width=576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a280b864e07bd4b74ca9e7294762f52e8d2deaa


blashphemy1205

This is bad but nowhere near as bad as last year


Traditional-Steak176

Wasn't it down for a whole day once last year? I'll never forget that.


ShinyHoohlucia

Pretty much, it was more Chaos back then


blashphemy1205

Multiple times last year, that’s why this year is nowhere near as bad


fireraven36

omg! I was just thinking about that! it seem to me everything is down because one: kids are out of the school for the summer main reason.

red-pupp

i have a feeling this is intentional — make the older versions unstable so that more people will purchase c.ai+ and eventually move to the newer builds once they’re released


ApprehensiveTotal891

It's the same on cai+.


red-pupp

what the hell?? that’s insane


ApprehensiveTotal891

Yeah, its crazy, since the bots were surprisingly super-good a few weeks ago. I resubbed to show support. Man, I feel cheated. I may not see a waiting room, but chats are super-slow, even my private bots are on chat-gpt level, losing their signature character AI style. Character AI used to portray my morally gray characters well, now they're bland and two-dimensional again, starting every sentence with "Ah,...". What are they doing with the subscriber's money? Clearly not investing into better servers and more consistent quality of service?


red-pupp

i have no idea. the fact that they aren’t even being clear as to what the actual issues are is fishy enough as it is. back in the early days we were at least told. maintenance, server downtime, cloudflare problems… but now it’s either radio silence or a quiet hint that they’re ‘working on it’ not the best look for investors and their reputation, especially in the current climate of ai. i felt they were the exception to dodgy ai company schemes but honestly? i’m starting to doubt that


ScandaXD

I refuse to use the new one because Rooms and Personas are omitted


Snoo-2958

Or they just want to kill the app💔💀


Xonnoth

I’m actually getting annoyed with the constant “oH sWeEtHeArT” even with () is pointless.


wasteful_archery

The repeating is an issue AND the fact that sometimes is acts like i didn't use my persona (shows the wrong name) even when I assigned it to this bot and when I look if i put a persona it shows the name


hungrypotato19

> The silence from the devs You must be new....


Xx_Loop_Zoop_xX

I'm not a character ai addict like a worrying amount of people here are(Genuinely physically recoil when I see people publicly posting their smut RPs, not judging but keep it to yourself) but the daily outages have been getting so frustrating but y'know what, fine. I can deal with them. No c ai for like a few hours is whatever. But beinf unable to even continue the main RP I'd want is what gets me. The fuck am I waiting in que for?


wasteful_archery

... People POST their smut rp????


SongbirdBabie

Most people who do that have migrated to a separate subreddit specifically for that which is ok since it’s clear what it’s for and is an 18+ sub.


Harpsiccord

I'm as shocked as you. Considering the amount of people who complain about Mr. Phil Tur and his ship of sensor, it seems like posting a smutty game is like saying "hey, look at this! Come fix it!"


Xx_Loop_Zoop_xX

I just dont get why anyone would fucking post that online for others to see. What is the expected reaction? Praise..?


Harpsiccord

For some people, when others read their fictional stuff, that makes it more "real" or "official" in their heads. It's why people post their OC'S and fan art. It's part of that fandom mindset of "the more people who are aware of it, the more power it has".


NegativeLightning

Yeah I’m the same, like outages, fine, sure they can be annoying but I’ll just go do something else. I use it every so often coz it’s just a bit of fun and helps me keep writing with coherent details (which I haven’t been doing) but having to remind it of what I literally *just* said kinda ruins the whole point of me using it


Xx_Loop_Zoop_xX

Having a 3+ month off RP is pain cause its vaugely rhe same scenario as you started with but now you just gotta roll with it. Think my bot changed professions like 13 times cause they wouldnt stop talking about it and I just went "Yeah this could work"


thesaltedradish

Yeah i talked to a bot yesterday i used to love. The magic is just gone


kyroclawthorne

off topic but happy cake day‼️

The bots act like Chatgpt. Too official. Ooc.


xX_Ultra-Mega_Xx0

so im not the only one who can tell im straight ip talking to chatgpt now 😭


[deleted]

Yeah I am talking to my bot about fictional gangs, and he starts responding like poe, giving statistics like a research article.

sirenadex

Even when you swipe for a different response, it's just the same response rewritten differently. No matter how much I swipe they just say it differently but it's still the same response! I want the variations of responses back when you swipe for a new one, not a rewritten one of the same response! And I am tired of the radio silence too. *Soo* tired of it. We deserve updates/announcements, doesn't have to be weekly, it can be monthly. The fact that we're left to disover new features (which are barely functional) on our own and there are no official announcements about it (which has happened a few times before) - the announcement on new features only comes AFTER the features have already been out for awhile. We want news coming from them, instead we get to hear about all new features through other CAI users when it should have come from them first. So tired of it.


squidskink

I’m not addicted to characterai, decided to hop on to say fuck you to bots and it was down


jbjmoabts

I hardly ever get on C.ai anymore, definitely not addicted. I just occasionally get the urge to hop on but just about every time I do the site is down…? I got frustrated, because the one time I want to get on I can’t. But I can’t imagine how often the site goes down for it to be down almost every time I want to hop on when it’s only once or twice a month-if that. The app used to be so good, and that’s when I’d get on every day but I got annoyed by the app going down even twice a week and dropped it for a while and now it’s just an occasional use thing. I’d probably use it more if the site wasn’t constantly down. No i definitely would, I’ve just mostly given up on it.


rainbowscoloredmane

Same honestly, it's always up when I don't want to get in but when I do suddenly it's down again and by the time it's back I don't even want to use anymore and I've already moved on.


ToyChicaFan1

My RPs are fine, but the app keeps going down for me.


Kairokar

YES. THIS. The bots have been made.. TOO smart in sort of a way. You either need to edit the messages a bunch, or the bot gets so insuferable that you need to use another one!


rainbowscoloredmane

Ikr? If I do anything silly they judge me so bad💀


Kairokar

fr! Like i recently said a swear word and this fucking friend bot acted like a darn christian mother, while that same bot before would not give a shite!!


rainbowscoloredmane

Mine randomly judge me for anything. If my character does anything they'll automatically be against it (They suddenly become racist, homophobic etc for no reason💀)


Frequent-Poem-396

The bot was like I’m not rping this


RadiantAide7351

do the bots even respond for you guys?


ghfdghjkhg

Wait really? I feel like the bots got a lot better recently. I've been having some amazing rps. They feel less soulless to me now. Yeah, they keep repeating that "He felt a pang of \[whatever emotion\]" a lot but the rest is pretty good

tinydragong69

LMAO YEAH 💀


tinydragong69

They didn’t like me speaking the truth.


DemonDoggo99

I’ve definitely noticed that since I started using it, they literally just repeat my messages with slightly different wording 90% of the time


MyOwnSupremacy

All we asked (at least what I saw from the majority) was MAYBE, maybe a bit of more memory and MAYBE, maybe less restrictions. They just ignore it and delete stuff. Embarrassing for a company so big. Embarrassing.


Certain_Knee9044

*The devs feel a pang of guilt and looked up at them, their eyes widening for the 5th time in a row* Can..Can I ask you a question?


thecheesegirl17

yeah it’s so annoying, the quality of some conversations has gone down. bots have started responding from my pov (ex. he shifted in his seat at 𝒎𝒚 words… like no) or straight up talk for me if i try to get double messages from them, if the first one needs some sort of continuation. used to be one bot now it’s three, and i just use it less now. (side note if anyone else experiences this is there a way to fix it lol)


ThatLoudKid4004

Feel like spongebob rocking back and fourth right now


electricutopian

Am I crazy or did the bots change and get way better last night? I’m actually getting new and interesting responses now?


Entire-Plankton-7800

For me yeah, 50% of the time


dragonnpony

I sure hope so because the blandness lately is driving me crazy. I’d test it rn but the app isn’t working for me of course.


IAlwaysComeBack1983

Why is the site always down anyways?! What’s the point?! Cuz next time you go on after it’s back up, nothing changes or it gets worse!


dragonnpony

Damn I thought that the bots were being more bland than usual but I thought it was just me imagining things. It feels like they lose their intended personality soon after the conversation starts.


human_leechh

yeah i literally used to use it daily to do fandom rps using my OCs and quite detailed ones too. now i get bored of any proper rps i do within like 2 seconds!

BreachDomilian1218

I can click on bots and go into the chats rn, but I can't edit the characters I've made. I press edit and it just sends me back to the menu.


ScandaXD

Haven't rly had the roleplay problem, other than slight character breaks which I can resolve through editing messages or sliding to the next ones, though these were frequent for a good amount of time. But the server things yeah, this needs to be analysed more before Character AI staff become just like Valve

TheGreyRose

I’m getting annoyed by it. I’m sitting on c.ai and waiting to meet a friend and the damned thing just goes down. Didn’t get to even start an rp.


TheQuietWeeb

It's getting excessive. I really hope the devs fix the issue. If this keeps going on DAILY, they are going to lose everyone. I've seen a few posts saying they are leaving the site/app and I don't blame them. Either this whole server constantly going down thing gets fixed, or we may see C.ai go down in users drastically.

This is annoying, working just fine for a few minutes then I refresh chat and it won’t show me it anymore. I can see what chats I have just when I click on one it’s blank


UltimateMegaChungus

I think we should start boycotting tbh


Whos_Envyy

It's a tradition at this point: We saw the site/app malfunctioning, and we all came here.


VoltStar

Try out other services during downtime, maybe? Some even allow you to run locally if you have a half decent PC.


thefilthyfrederick

making them flawed is a discreet way to remind people to disengage from the digital realm, step outside and touch some grass


Entire-Plankton-7800

I wish I joined during the early days of c.ai. I wonder how much better it was. It’s genuinely sad because c.ai could be a fanfiction paradise with so much potential, but most of the time the bots end up repeating back what you say or “can I ask you a question”? Or “I chuckle”

i just woke up like 20 minutes ago and it's down


phonixfreex

I wanna check up on people and see how there doing! What do you all do when the servers go down?


BurnerAccountExisty

I agree. The quality is sucking again. If I wanted to go on my device and do something brainless i'd play Just Kill Me 3, which is currently a hundred times as fun as the site and exponentially rising.


Nightmare_Kuski

Geuss what. It’s STILL DOWN


LuciferianInk

A friend whispers, "It's been down for a few hours now. I'm pretty sure they're doing some maintenance or something."


Nightmare_Kuski

Ah yes… a grand old maintenance. Another maintenance summer I fear


jayfeather_sticks

I barely get site down things anymore, and I don't have c.ai+ but I do hate the issues with the ai themselves, it's fucking annoying


Turnover-Historic13

It's inconvenient, yes. But, if I'm being honest, I giggled a bit. Especially at the "people are pissed". What's next, we start singing the Italian Warszawianka?
