Cool and very interesting website where you can chat with many fictional characters using AI.

The most popular one, but after trying multiple other ones, it's one of the worst ones. The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is the sheer amount of user-generated characters.

After being acquired by a certain multi-billion dollar company soon after becoming public (can't remember which), the site really started to lose its mojo. The overall moderation in chats between users and characters has been alarmingly stringent (all in the name of keeping the site "family-friendly"), the characters sometimes forget to stay on topic and divert the conversation instead, and the overall response quality from the characters has been so-so. Another striking rumor I see is that your chats with characters are not private, as the staff can read them if they need to. At least all that was the case several months ago or so.

And I believe the more recent issues have been...

  • Occasional 24-hour timeouts.
  • Speakeasy and War of Words, two games to play with the characters; considered an unnecessary feature.

I honestly don't see a bright future for this service. :(

I'd love it if CAI became really family-friendly. But, in fact, the entire site is filled with thirst traps, which obviously affects the quality/direction of responses Seeing some weird stuff in my recommendations isn't cool either. But I agree that the platform has really degraded lately. For example, they deleted chat rooms.
