1. Why Users Are Furious After the Latest C.ai Update
① Broken Replies & Lost Context
“Recent issues with the chat style and nonsensical responses. It’s borderline unusable for me now.” (Reddit)
Long messages now return short, meaningless replies. Many complain that characters suddenly feel “dumbed down.”
② Freezing, Errors, and Bugs Everywhere
“App freezes, chat error, must close and reopen the app.” (Reddit)
Instead of smoother performance, updates have introduced constant crashes and error pop-ups.
③ Censorship & Annoying Restrictions
“There are now restrictions for anyone below 18 … inability to create public bots.” (Reddit)
Users are frustrated that filters interrupt conversations, killing immersion mid-flow.
④ Free Users Treated Like Trash
“Annoying many c.ai free users are posting angry … how many c.ai free users angry about ads.” (Reddit)
Ads, limits, and being sidelined have left free users furious.
⑤ Trust Is Gone
“Character AI has officially ruined itself … every update somehow makes the site worse … prioritizing monetization over quality.” (Reddit)
Veterans feel betrayed, claiming C.ai is no longer about users, only about profit.
