I never thought I'd write here, but I wanted to comment on the recent changes. I've been using "ai-character-chat" for over a year and have gotten used to a lot. Yes, sometimes everything becomes slow. Yes, sometimes the AI can't follow the prompts properly and "loses" part of what it was supposed to write. Yes, it loves silly descriptions of appearance (constantly writes about someone's "Adam's apple," for example), it loves to get fixated on something and use it in several posts in a row at the end of each post (in one chat, for example, I had 10+ posts endings about "grandfather clocks" that would sink, explode, burn, and melt). Yes, sometimes the AI would lapse into overly colorful descriptions, almost like purple prose. But all of that was better than what happened to it now.

I won't speculate on what's causing this—a bug or a model change—because I obviously don't have all the information. But as a user of this site for a year now, I want to comment (I think everyone has the right to as long as they do it in polite way). In its current state, the text model is completely unusable. Where once was imagination, a varied style, interesting ideas and text, now there's a dry, robotic thing.

The language became completely mechanical. Previously, when you generated a character from a picture, you'd get a text description that was emotional, sometimes with jokes, sometimes with irony. Now, every description is a collection of dry facts, presented in short sentences like, "This is John. He likes A. He dislikes B. He speaks this way. He walks this way. His goal is C. His fear is D." The AI can no longer write in different styles depending on the character, almost doesn't use italics or bolds anymore (yes, AI used to be too fond of this, but it was often appropriate).

It's logical that, due to the lack of communication with the developer, people are starting to panic, get angry, and come up with assumptions that often don't correspond to reality. But what are we, the users, left to do? No one really understands what's going on, just as they didn't understand when the image generation changed a few months ago.

I'll speak for myself: I've been using the site for a little over a year, and it's the best site of its kind I've encountered online, and it met all my requirements. I didn't complain when the image generation changes happened a few months ago. I agreed that we needed to give it some time and maybe things would improve. But what happened now it's much worse.

For example, I had about 20 characters, and they're all essentially dead—this bug (or new model, or whatever it is) has turned them all into robots with the same very, very poor style. I understand that running a project like this site can be difficult, as can maintaining constant communication with users, but without communication and understanding what's going on, panic (or even anger) of users are inevitable.

So, if this is a bug and it will be fixed soon, please let us know, at least just in form of "yes" or "no". If this was an intentional change, I join all those asking for it to be rolled back. It's made everything much worse, and text generation is now simply pointless. It's impossible to work with. And this site has no better alternatives. Not a single one. I hope this problem will be resolved soon. With all due respect.
