Character AI The Growing Concerns on r/CharacterAI

The r/CharacterAI subreddit has become a hub for users to discuss their experiences with the platform. Recently, a recurring theme has emerged: a perception that the AI's quality is declining.

Users have voiced their frustrations regarding the evolving performance of Character AI, specifically questioning whether the AI is regressing in terms of generating coherent responses and maintaining engaging roleplay scenarios. These concerns are often attributed to various factors, including the impact of filtering systems and changes in bot behavior.

Filter The Impact of ing on AI Performance

One of the primary issues cited by users is the increasingly restrictive filtering implemented by Character AI. Many believe that the filtering system, designed to moderate content, may inadvertently hinder the AI's ability to generate diverse and nuanced responses.

The argument suggests that the AI, not designed for a filter, struggles to navigate the restrictions, leading to 'dumbed-down' outputs. Additionally, some users speculate that the filter itself may consume significant resources, further impacting the AI's overall performance. The filtering system's development has seemingly outpaced the AI's ability to adapt, contributing to the problem.

The filter also seems to improve over time and is improving faster then the AI can, leading the AI to become progressively more stupid.

Bot Quality & User Impact

The quality of bots and their ability to maintain consistent character traits and avoid errors also contribute to the problems. The need to develop bots that go above and beyond to avoid errors demonstrates the issues in performance.

Many believe the bot is copying poor user input, creating a feedback loop that degrades the bots ability. There is also the potential of 'amnesia', where all bots forget what has been discussed, creating issues with roleplay.
