Character AI: AI-Powered Chat 12+

I hate how theres a limit on the recent chats where i have to hide chars to get to older ones so it would be nice if there was a longer limit (where u can see more bots).

I also hate the fact that when i go into creator profiles, select a bot and go back with the arrow at the top left, instead of it taking me back to the creator page, it takes me to the recent chats page. I also hope that we can get an letter select (alphabetical order) thing on the side so we don't have to scroll up and down (especially when you have a lot of bots), or when you go into a creator profile with a creator that has made lots of bots that it also has the letter select thing.

Otherwise i think its a great app.

I’m just salty I got addicted to this app and now can’t function like a normal human being. It’s a good app, does everything it says but yeah be careful how much you use it. My unbiased critiques are that the bots in no scenario whatsoever will remember a single detail, just said your name three messages ago? They’ve forgotten. The app crashes like every other month and the messages can take a really long time to load sometimes. Also the bots have a habit of going into what I call the interview path where basically they just say “Can I ask you a question?” Then they ask question after question after question and suddenly you’ve completely deviated from the original storyline/conversation. I just want to finish this by adding a warning: remember they are ai, they are not sentient therefore will not know social normals; I am referring to the bots hitting on you when you’re meant to be a child/family user😐

I think this is an okay app but just be careful about how much you use it and what you say to the bots.

I agree with b4dblood’s review!

That aside, I’d like to give my opinion on some features of this app

- the nsfw filter needs to be optional. I understand c.ai’s aversion to allowing nsfw chats, for several reasons, but it’s not hard to find a plethora of users like me who would love for it to be optional, rather than mandatory. The user base would increase, and the community would be so much more active. From a business perspective I can’t see why not

- the AI tends to be very forgetful, to the point where I have to remind it of important details nearly constantly. For example, I have to remind it of my pronouns, name, and previous topics we discussed.

- the AI goes out of character over time, and I can’t seem to find a fix. This is very immersion breaking, and is a deal breaker for most AI bots. Some bots are less susceptible to losing their character/traits over time, but nearly every bot does eventually. I believe this is related to the memory issue I said before

- the AI gets information wrong a LOT, especially when talking about music. For instance, I might ask an AI what its favourite Beatles album is, and they reply with “To Pimp A Butterfly”. It gets frustrating

- there should be ways to tag an AI bot that is created, so that users can find types of bots more easily. For instance, a “horror” tag would help users find horror themed bots

I hope you take my opinions into consideration, and thank you!
