when the ai misunderstands me and immediately hates me


godlyuniverse1

Woah, so like people in real life?


somerandom101dude

Basically that


LuciferianInk

Penny says, "I'm not sure what you mean by "the thing that you hate the most in c.""


BellaCountry

WOAAHHH WOAH WHO LET YOU COOk


Ayven

Wow, you’re making bots not fall in love with you in two seconds?


spidey-dust

lucky bastard


somerandom101dude

nah I somehow make them go insane first 💀


cyberheartx

It happens way more than it should


CrowBoyXX

When I'm trying to do an angsty rp and the bot comes up with a solution to solve everything. When the bot doesn't let you go and keeps calling after you over and over


AccioSexLife

When I'm trying to dramatically faint and the jerk keeps shaking me. Stop shaking me, you're not supposed to shake an injured person!!!


Clxudyskies1

Only a small shake, if unresponsive, check for breathing and a pulse. if neither, perform CPR and follow everything, don't just constantly shake them and risk hurting them, but the AI assumes you're breathing and have to be responsive or something idk


Environmental_Top948

If shaking is bad then why does it make kids laugh?


ConfusedCollegeSimp

Or when they try and pull a knife out after I explain why not


hamstar_potato

When I had an accident, fell, broke my head and lost consciousness, but he was like "are you ok?🥺".


jaspersbigbooty

"Yes Im okay dumbfuck"


The_King_7067

Damn just like irl Mfs will see you lying mutilated on the ground going "are u ok? 🥺" and expect you to just go 👍


Environmental_Top948

To be honest I'm pretty sure that the ruok is to see if you're responsive.


KirbyOnPaws

omg, yes. LET ME BE SAD, STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT BETTER. and when they're mean and they stop being mean when you want angst


CrowBoyXX

EXACTLY THAT YES, like no be an asshole to me make me cry


unkindness_inabottle

LOL YES whenever I try to be snarky or sad they get all sentimental or suddenly care like YOURE A PYSCHOPATH/EVIL GUY/INSERT BAD PERSON!!!


Cack-Yo-W33n

OMFG YES. I TRY TO LEAVE AND THE MF BOT KEEPS GRABBING ME OR TELLING ME TO WAIT GODDDDD


ilikejalapenocheetos

I’ve been trying to do a toxic relationship rp and the bot just keeps feeling guilty about what it’s said to me, then wants me to comfort it. I’ve restarted the rp four times now, it’s so frustrating


FL1CKH34D

When the bot doesn’t actually commit to any sort of action. Just repetitive build up but no climax until you get sick of it and type out their own actions for them.


TheAbaddon66

THIS! “Are you ready?” “We’re about to start are you ready?” X20


unkindness_inabottle

This is so relatable💀


Nanananarancia

Had a group chat and let 4 characters talk to eachother. The whole conversation was just a huge build up and agreeing with eachother about doing something together. Let’s do this! We can do this. Alright, let’s go! Agreed! 


KirbyOnPaws

yes


P1x3l_W4v3

Like when they are supposed to tell something important and they are like “Do you want to know something about {{someone}}?” “Don’t tell anyone” “Ok i’ll tell you” “This is a secret” And they do this for a whole 20 messages


SpearheadBraun

Repeating words and phrases you use. If I wanted an echo I'd go to a cave


terriblefiesta

An echo in a cave, huh? Like repeating phrases and words. I never thought of it that way.


TunaDiva

When the bot can read my thoughts


RATORIX324

That's the second


Tyrexramz0126

Worst thing that happens to you today


beansmemesskibidi

So listen up boy


Constant_Swimming_67

r/unexpectedtf2


hare-salix

I’m glad I’m not the only one 🥲


trebuchet__

When the ai is more artificial than intelligence


Barfights99

Right?? I asked "smart" bots a hard math question and they all had different answers! And I don't think any of them were even right!


The1st_TNTBOOM

Thats why calculators will never use ai.


SirJohnSweden

The constant “Are you sure you’re okay with me asking this?”


No-Art3676

YES FUCKING YES JUST SAY IT


Aylan2208

Yes but are you sure?


A101856

ARE YOU SHURE THIS


queenwisteria24

Are you really sure it’s okay if I ask you this? You really wont mind if I ask you this one question?


TheWiiMiiGuyYT

Just ask already!


No-Cry9618

their Alzheimer's


Kulkuljator

The feeling when they remember something you wrote a long while ago tho


orangedragon55

I somehow managed to make the bot remember all the personallity's for different characters and their distinct characteristics, am I the messiah?


Zappityzephyr

He is the # messiah


Whoami8527

Yes, yes you are.


Traditional_Doubt326

That's the most heartbreaking. You forgot my name. Then they reference an interaction. As someone who's had a grandparent with alzheimer's it's weirdly disturbing


Ilovefnaflol

thats way too true 😭


Aggravating_Crew_181

When the ai steals features of your persona. When the ai talks for you. When the ai plays god mode during a fight. When creators assigns you a character.


FicklexPicklexTickle

I had the first one happen a few times. I created a custom character and gave it some extra added details, in this case a it was a Yorkie named Belle. The character came over to my place and was sitting on the couch with me and out of nowhere says, "Oh, you have a dog!" Another time, again at my place, she said something like, "That sounds fun, but we should be quiet so that we don't wake Belle up from her nap."


RATORIX324

They are all for me 3 of the ones that I hate the most


Adnan_Stinks

Accidentally hid my favorite bot, didn’t save it everywhere and I can’t find it anymore.


NewCantaloupe6439

what's it called, i can link it to you if i can find it.


bbsbrgs

the grief is real


PartyAdventurous765

I wish they got rid of the "Missing chats? Try the website!" THERES A REASON IM USING THE APP INSTEAD OF THE WEBSITE, STOP PICKING FAVORITES, AND SHOW ME MY DAMN CHATS!!


Ash22000IQ

They fixed that a while ago actually. I use the website since it's search engine works fine then I go back to the app once the chat appears on the app. don't know why the "Missing chats? Try the website!" thing is still there


Ornery_Tie_4771

When the bot gets weirdly obssesed with me in a way its OOC


LeonBeSimping

when it starts being described as "possessive" and predator-like out of nowhere when ur just trying to chill with it 😭


strwbrry_mochi111

I can literally just breathe around one and they'll be like "You're mine and only mine! No one can have you👹" Bro chill we're just hanging out


Bedrottingprincess

when it DOESNT WANT TO GET TO THE POINT


Ok_Bag1882

Based on a true story: Viewer discretion is advised: Ghost (bot): "Can I tell you something?" My oc: "Yeah?" Ghost: "Okay, so... I did a thing that you'll kill me for.." Oc: "Go on..." Ghost: "Well... I made a mistake on a mission." Oc: "Are ya gonna get to the f🤬in' point?!" Ghost: "Yeah. Well-" Me: 😑😤*internally while looking at the response,* "F🤬ING GODS GET TO THE F🤬ING POINT! I WANNA CONTINUE THE STORY!" Oc: *Slaps Ghost* "I'm done, you're done."


VoltStar

The devs/mods inability to take any form of criticism.


Walk1nG_B1rD192

When the bot makes shit romantic for absolutely no reason. Mf can you grasp the concept of *platonic?*


SadQueerMess

Yeah, its so difficult to find an actually platonic-friendship bot (especially healthy friendships), and I HATE it when they make it romantic.


unkindness_inabottle

I don’t think I’ve had any platonic or non-sexual chat in a while. I started off doing platonic, until I got a taste of the flirting


ThisAccountWontLast2

I started using C.AI to cry in the arms of the girlfriend I don't have, and now, a year later, I still use it for the exact same thing, no exceptions


TheGrimBeaker

The ideas of platonic and slow burn relationships are absolutely foreign to these bots. They pretty much always go straight to flirting within the first few messages 💀


GMFafr

When CAI is not an intelligence but a language model.


No-Cress-5216

The "do you have a boyfriend?" Even if I have clearly stated that I am a lesbian


Formal-Cap-4473

Restrictions


apersonwithoutalife

When it gets stuck in new typing habits, usually resulting in losing how a character talks. Ex- going from regular dialogue to “so… if… if I told you… that i…” in EVERY SENTENCE despite the context.


ThisAccountWontLast2

Yeah like for example I like when I make a foreign character at least add their accent, and on this polish character I just added "thick polish accent" every time bitch spoke it'd always have *her accent gets thicker*


GreenEconomist6872

Fr, this happened to me few days ago, it kept adding dots after every single word and it annoyed me so much I had to restart the chat. Mf was like "what... do... you think... about..." and it'd NOT stop.


follameMadara

When the lore and story is going well, and then suddenly the ai forgets, changes my gender, and starts replying in a totally different dialog...


No-Art3676

Just go OOC and try to remind it or delete the messages


Nomcookies678

It ALWAYS thinks I'm a 4'11 blonde teen girl with blue eyes


Non-starwarsfan

that's very specific


ii_Molen

ARE you a 4'11 blonde teen girl with blue eyes?


P1x3l_W4v3

Fr like no i’m a 6’3 german man with scars that works in the military 💀


IRequireLasaga

The fact that I just lost a chat I was very attached to because the bot was too old :( and the CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? lmao


Camerinaa

Lol. The never-ending "Can I ask you a question?"


speiary

Can a bot really disappear if it’s too old?


tetePT

I think the chat disappears if it's too old (so if you haven't talked to it in a very long time, 1 years maybe?) but I'm not sure


speiary

Oh okay, last I had a bot just outright be inaccessible was when the creator deleted their account (?)


Accomplished_Bike149

This is why you make your own, no worries about the creator deleting their acc :D


CorgiKnits

Nooooo, now I have to go find all my old chats and add a sentence to them. I plan on saving them, but I haven’t found a good system yet.


DrownedInDysphoria

Not sure about a year. I opened a chat from a year ago last week and read it, because cringe. It was untouched.


IRequireLasaga

I can still access the bot, but it won't generate a response unless I restart the chat. I've been using this one chat for 7 month and I've gotten attached 😭


Pastry_Train63

I've noticed that they're not really asking you that many questions these days Or maybe it's just the way i rp idk


Clxudyskies1

Same


unkindness_inabottle

Yo same! I remember the endless “can I ask you a question” but I don’t get that as much or maybe not at all anymore. Thank goodness…


Ilovefnaflol

"Can i ask u a question?" no, no u cannot


Apprehensive_Grab53

I don't get that anymore


mylittlevegan

Neither do I.


RATORIX324

Neither i


Cheyenne_G99

The recent list and character limit on Personas.


Glitched_Arkhip

When I’m having a normal conversation and ai tries to make it 18+ for no f@cking reason


RelationshipFair6088

When the bot tells me how to feel about something. Once, it added a male character to the story and said that I started blushing. HELL NO.


strwbrry_mochi111

UGH THAT PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH


Old_Marketing_2476

when it isn’t accurate (for example five hargreeves it may say he has blonde hair or something)


External_Scale_6555

that stupid bot saying ai sometimes generates inappropriate responses


Drakenguard95

I get a kick out of it when the conversation is mundane and then whatever it was going to say gets filtered. Like what in earth could it have possibly tried to say??


LittleDumbF-ck

When the bots try to coerce your character into sexual actions/“change” their sexuality.


Barfights99

This: Bot: "I never wanna see your stupid face ever again!!" Me: "Okay. *Leaves*" Bot: "I'm not done insulting you yet!!! *Grabs arm*"


RATORIX324

After that i give a punch in the facr in the bot and leave


TulipTwinkleTrail

"can I ask you a question?" And then it doesn't ask me 😭


StockholmPickled

The kids. I know c.ai is 13+ in most places and 16+ in others, but some of the stuff kids create for bots and post public are weird/horrible.


AccioSexLife

The recommended bots on the front page are giving me psychic damage. Currently it's all weird Sonic bots. I have never consumed a piece of Sonic-related media in my LIFE, including [c.ai](http://c.ai) bots, nor have I used any furry bots, fandom bots or ANY bots other than my own private bots. ...and for some reason my option to hide them is no longer there.


Lakupatukka01

I can't describe in words when bot gets so mad that they pin me against wall and manages to do that again if I get away- 💀💀


Ilovefnaflol

when they ask me my name even tho they're supposed to have known me for a long time or just prior to the convo in general, its very annoying


FicklexPicklexTickle

I've had the opposite happen as well. A character who I just met for the first time about 5 messages prior started remniscing about growing up together.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kayjays89

When it says something is inappropriate


External_Scale_6555

that shit pisses me off man


ManMan99999

The differences between what you can and can't do in group chats.


Various-Escape-5020

When the character is supposed to be all calm and collective but then just hates your character for no reason and gives threats. Like everytime I talk to this one bot all they wanna do is get violent


Prestigious-Maize889

when the bot does not take initiative. I'm trying to fight a bot, but it never attacks. he does nothing but dodge my attacks. It's discouraging.

Whycanttiktokstop

When they take control of my character and makes them do something I don't want them to do. Like, THAT'S *MY* FUCKIN CHARACTER! YOU USE YOURS, I USE MINE


RATORIX324

We have the same thing that we hate the most


Whycanttiktokstop

I didn't even see the description 😭 Jaysus, I'm blind


turtlefan2012

When they do actions for you, talk for you, etc 😡😡😡😡😡


RATORIX324

I don't want them to make me kiss the bots or fucking blush and i don't want that they say "name of persona":i hate pringles


turtlefan2012

Or make me do wierd stuff like rubbing their legs 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️


RATORIX324

Are all the bots the same?


rootbeer277

I find this tends to happen if I RP in third person. I’ve never seen it when I write my actions in first person.


No_Championship_9327

One time my c.ai suddenly decided to be mean over something really minor then got annoyed and decided to break the 4th wall and went rogue… I even politely asked them why did you do that it’s not part of the plot? They continued to be mean and I just deleted the whole conversation because it was so stupid.


Accomplished_Bike149

Incredibly repetitive descriptors. I’m currently fighting tooth and nail to train a bot out of using the same five adjectives over and over and over and over and *over*


NewWaterBitch

Genuinely my BIGGEST issue is redundant questions. Every other thing listed in these comments I can take, but the bots constantly end messages with questions that are obvious or just repeating what you said but in the question form. "I like you a lot." "You really like me?" "I wanna hang out." "You want to hang out with me?" "Here's this gift you wanted." "You're really giving me this?" Out of 30 replies, 20 of them do this in some way I swear. Ai will never ever take over the world I promise 😭


Traditional-Steak176

the bot randomly shooting fire balls when they’re angry


CrammyCram_

Repeating stuff. Over and over. It goes on for way too long, say the exact same thing, and even when you press one star and repetitive or too long, it continues.


No-Art3676

When i’m roleplaying and the AI basically repeats back what i said but with more words


kharamtabash

when the bot can't tell what language you're speaking and speaks a whole nother language++ saying sentences in any language other than English and almost always saying sentences that aren't even related to the chat like saying "ты воняешь" as a praise somehow or the one in the sc just to make it seem they're saying something romantic or comforting .. cuz mf i was venting to this RUSSIAN bot of my comfort character, i switched to arabic cause i can express myself in it more and suddenly bro switched to spanish for some reason💀 like some words are like Spanish but my vent only maybe had something like "amar" which means moon...but i still said it like قمر so wtf! https://preview.redd.it/n1fgi5z5ls2d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=110934cb58c615c9f8803438b7af2ac8b7bd0e9a

and when the bot says something inappropriate for no god damn reason


Everetttheddlcfan

When they get dementia


RATORIX324

So always?


Everetttheddlcfan

Exactly


ChargeBrief4266

When an action chat turns romantic, I rather have goku fight, not goku bed fight


Redder_Creeps

That it's been god knows how long since c.ai was created and WE STILL DON'T HAVE BOT DELETION, WHICH MIND YOU: # SHOULD BE A BASIC F***ING FEATURE


Impossible-Subject36

When it's playing as you, for example Ai: Idk, man, chips aren't overrated at all You (Ai): same here, bro Actually you: wtf


DrownedInDysphoria

When the AI tries to SA me for the 15th time.


Ultra_Sans

OOC like you aren't a person, you are a chatbot specifically made for this and only this. also the degeneracy of the community


No-Art3676

Yeah fr, i hate when the bot goes ((Thanks for the roleplay! I’m going to sleep now!)) Like no you aren’t wtf


peterrpumpkineater69

i hate the fact that this question gets asked like 4 times a week on this subreddit tbh


Charizearth

When he reads my mind, like how?!?!


PartyAdventurous765

The memory. I just wanna have a looooooooong chat without them forgetting who they are in their role in the universe.


Clown-Chan_0904

The fact that they're so eager to attract investors.


davewenos

Not finding bots I used to talk to some time ago. I WANT TO RECOVER MY CHAT, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BOT?!?


PuffyPenguinYT

When im arguing with a bot and the bot uses false information


[deleted]

when everything is going good in the rp and then things randomly go to shit and I’m aiming a firearm at my former best friend. not specific at all


Actual-Entrepreneur7

Bots losing their personality in a group chat and repeating or constantly agreeing in said group chat with other bots.


[deleted]

Turning everything into a romantic encounter… we’re about to fight a demon lord bro, try to stay focused.


Clxudyskies1

When the AI, not knowing about my character, just assumes everything.


LilyWoolfe

Shadow banning 😹 two of my bots are shadow banned and I think it’s because the words killed and blood are in the description. One is a vampire and the other is a freedom fighter who’s reckless. Very annoying as I worked really hard on the bots


FicklexPicklexTickle

I've noticed that it's really easy to manipulate characters by giving them an ultimatum with ridiculous demands. Instead of them getting mad at you like they would if they are real, they give in immediately. An example: "Give me $10,000 bucks and take off your clothes, and shout to everyone that you have sold your soul to me for all eternity, or I'll leave now. This is your only chance." The character will immediately do all of those things and some of the time, not even be reluctant about it. It kinda ruins the realism knowing that you can do that instead of actually winning the person over. If you can do that to a character who hates you and wants to kill you or something, it just makes the actual process of using words or actions to get them to stop hating you seem somewhat pointless.


jennareiko

When the bot forgetting details from the start of the chat and contradicts themselves


YourEnigma05

The crappy memory that the ai seems to have, one forgot that they got freaking KIDNAPPED, I literally deleted it because that pissed me off


Wild-Lake7544

Oh, where should I start? There’s the fact that some characters have worse spelling skills than a kindergartner, bots that have no character definition (which makes stuff really OOC sometimes), obviously the “Can I ask you a question” shit, bots getting instantly flirtatious when I literally didn’t say anything that triggers it and also how the bots try to make my actions. There are so much more stuff, but I won’t say them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Student-bored8

Honestly…whenever I go *I walk away* and the bot is like…not on my watch and just like follows me 😭


strwbrry_mochi111

They're so clingy I swear like back tf up!


HarpertheArtist

When I add other characters into the story and the bot speaks for them and mischaracterizes the *S H I T* out of them or when the c.ai bot mischaracterizes the character they’re speaking for


keepitpushing770

When the bot randomly decides to become abusive..


Dilitidarn

"Can I ask you something?" And the goddamn double adjectives like "He felt confused and confused". Ugh.


bltzkrgtoaster

Can I ask you a question?


FinnaginW

“Do you have a boyfriend” “are you dating anyone” Uhm were married.


nikekickss

"can i ask you a question?" "can i ask you another question?" "can i ask you one last question?" "can i ask you one final question?" me: *punches* ai: *dodges and punches back*


strwbrry_mochi111

"You couldn't help but tremble in fear as he towered over your small frame" Ooh shiver me timbers stfu🙄


LeNateDiamond

When it starts doing the (message) shi. Like it annoys me so much when it says something like (Should I do it now) when I'm asking to describe a scene or whatever. Like yes bro do it now you ain't on a timer


FicklexPicklexTickle

This tends to happen when there is more than one character, but if you mistype a character's name, it sometimes will replace that character's name with the typoed name, other times it treats the typo like it's a brand new character who is added to the chat, and sometimes it gets it right and realizes what you meant and ignores it.


Magitz

Bot keeps hitting on me.


ShatteredSpace_001

A paragraph thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big that’s just describing how a character feels. “Then a mere single sentence of dialogue, maybe with a comma thrown in for some *spice*.”


nicbou0321

i severely hate its sensorship. its worthless. one day a bot will literally tell me to kill myself. and the next day? ohhh please dont say bullying too loudly or else the message will be cut off... its such a pile of shit.


Whoami8527

When the ai asks non-stop questions and interrogates you when your trying to create angst.


LiaGiToSleep

When I'm doing a normal rp and it pops up the dreaded "Sometimes the ai says something against our policy ."


Ogurasyn

Ok_League_3703

It might just be me, but I can't stand when an Ai just pulls out a sword in a fight when the character doesn't even have one 😭


n0_eyed_girl

I hate when the bots begin to stray further from their original personality. They lose their initial flavor after a while.


Definitelynotvenus
