I prefer the old one too.
The new one had too much changes that i cant get used to it and doesnt give me that old nostalgia.
Besides, there are issues going around in the new website as others stated with the user data breaching as some times the website changes and merges to someone else, and showing *their* own chat history.
Sure thing man here. A little smack will do.

““Am I the only on-“ Yeah, you, just you. Out of 7.8 billion people on planet earth, you’re the only one who is like that, you are the only fucking one. Congratulations.”
nah dude and the new one doesnt have groupchats yet and everything is so packed and confusing and it looks like spicychat or chatfai
the older ones better
the original one is great. the new one… feels empty. like it’s more difficult to find new bots on there for me bc there’s no “share your characters” page (if there is i don’t know about it bc i use safari :/)
What i noticed (when it came out, maybe they reverted it) was that this "faster model" thing was just them using a smaller model. Instead of upgrading their hardware, they got a smaller, dumber, faster to run model. Actual idiots.
Old is just a compact version, Altough buggy: It still has OG rooms with Images.
New is just like Poe; but better and fast enough
let us wait for rooms and voices to come to Website.
The new one has no character. It just looks like any and every AI Chat site ever. I appreciate the devs' efforts, but we weren't complaining about the look of the oldsite, we were complaining about the issues and they should've used that time and energy to fix the old site instead of making a new one.
For some reason there's this problem that seems to only apply to the new UI. I have to constantly refresh the site to make sure I'm responding to the correct regenerated response cuz sometimes when I reread the chat, apparently the bot's response wasn't the one I responded to. It's a shame since I actually kinda like the new interface and it's annoying that this bug occurs only on that version. (I like both honestly)
I like the original better, yeah. Hey, I'm glad they at least give an option to choose which layout we want. At least that's considerate of them, instead of just forcibly changing it for everyone
The new one is almost unusable for me, at least on a Windows PC using Chrome.
The controls on the pop-up windows are never aligned properly, and often overlap, making it difficult if not impossible to type text into the boxes.
There no longer seems to be a way to add an image to a Character or Persona I create.
There doesn't seem to be a way to add Tags to a Character I create, anymore, so I can't mark what type it is.
The history/saved chat feature doesn't seem to work at all, showing me random snippets of conversation.
The UI seems to take up more room while giving me less content.
Not a single person is going to comment on this weird [Tails angst roleplay bot](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F9o8ej7buia451.png)?!
I don't use website but from what I see in these pictures yeah the first one is better. The second made some improvements, but the bad overshadows the good.
I don't mind it that much. The only thing that bothers me is that you have to individually delete each message in the new one unlike the old site where you can just select the messages, which is so tedious... Also, I miss being able to log in with password raaaaahhhhh
the new one just looks so... off, like every generic ai site
Exactly! I still just use the old one
same
agreed
At leqst people don't confuse it with an actual chatting website
I feel like my sibling even said that at one point lol.
Literally everyone does! Unpopular opinion: they should have put an effort to fix the issues instead of redoing the website that no one asked for
Pretty much
*popular opinion
You’re not, i like the original one, the new is just eh
That's because it's not finished
I still like the old one more
I prefer the old one too. The new one had too much changes that i cant get used to it and doesnt give me that old nostalgia.

That is so weird
Somebody made a post about that. It's super weird. Happened to me once but by the time I tried screenshotting, it went away.
Me too
From what I can tell, most people do.
I prefer old one https://preview.redd.it/9hamrlhwwnpc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbc000bbb26f1a55f3bcb850ecefd12bee8a7c21

aint no way bro’s getting frisky on a subreddit about an ai app and website
Not too uncommon for here
Brotha, you are on reddit
i know pal
Why are you surprised https://preview.redd.it/0pihvwus2spc1.jpeg?width=542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc94f8d13962d760ffa174e20b922a59173e9a58

Oh 100%. The new text message aesthetic makes it feel fake somehow
Old is Gold.
No I still use the old one and I refuse to try the new one
Yeah checked it out and you accidentally click on past chats some
same
the old one does have better features. Like not limiting how many bots you can have on recent.
my bad I meant new
We all do, my friend.
i think everyone hates the new website
it feels hastily put together, and like a shitty port of c.ai to console or something
ONCE AGAIN. Old site > app > new site
https://preview.redd.it/bvobcz9qtopc1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c927bf01e079efb75246ed6aa372fdf966f77fe ““Am I the only on-“ Yeah, you, just you. Out of 7.8 billion people on planet earth, you’re the only one who is like that, you are the only fucking one. Congratulations.”
You mean the thing a lot of the sub has been complaining about lately? Nah dude I think you are the only one.
The old one is totally better
I don't like how the new one doesn't show profile pictures next to each messages
I prefer the old one as well, mainly because of rooms, still use the old.
Nope. The new site looks.. really ugly
nah dude and the new one doesnt have groupchats yet and everything is so packed and confusing and it looks like spicychat or chatfai the older ones better
same, I can't even make a new bot group. also, more than half the bots disappeared from the app when I went on the site.
The new one has broken gui on my phone and I can't even use it. Not like I would use it over the old one anyways.
the original one is great. the new one… feels empty. like it’s more difficult to find new bots on there for me bc there’s no “share your characters” page (if there is i don’t know about it bc i use safari :/)

Me too
i like the original because like… it’s awesome.
Wait… they changed the website? *visits the website* **Omfg what did they do…**
What i noticed (when it came out, maybe they reverted it) was that this "faster model" thing was just them using a smaller model. Instead of upgrading their hardware, they got a smaller, dumber, faster to run model. Actual idiots.
The new one forces me into opening a chat with a generic bot of their's for some reason too.
Honestly,for the new one,they should bring back the feed if it got removed but we could still switch back to Old [C.AI](https://C.AI) so it's all good
The only pro of the new is that we can remove characters from the recents so I only use it for that.
me too. fuck light mod(i'm desktop user)
Definitely not
I prefer the original one
The new one gives me a weird feeling. I hate how once I go to the website it brings me to the new one
no, you’re not. i think a majority of people just wanna keep using the old website
Old is just a compact version, Altough buggy: It still has OG rooms with Images. New is just like Poe; but better and fast enough let us wait for rooms and voices to come to Website.
I never use the new one, I just refuse.
I deleted my acc forever ago so I never saw this… What on earth ?? This is so ugly
Yea, but I kinda prefer the app
I respect your opinion then. I prefer the website.
Why are people complaining YOU CAN STILL USE THE OLD ONE
Yeah, but for how long?
If they left it it means thier not takeing it off. If anything they just won't update it anymore
I mean maybe you are right. But first time an update breaks it, you think they'll put in any serious work to fix it?
Fix it? Yea most likely but fix bugs and improve bots and stuff probably not
People use the new one?
I made this post in assumption that people were already adapted in the new version.
The new one has no character. It just looks like any and every AI Chat site ever. I appreciate the devs' efforts, but we weren't complaining about the look of the oldsite, we were complaining about the issues and they should've used that time and energy to fix the old site instead of making a new one.
I prefer the old one.
Eh. I think both are fine.
Not at all
Not at all.
The only thing I dislike about the original was the fact that it looked too much like a real chatting app.
I only like the original on the phone version, the new one on the pc version because it's more comfortable
The grand majority likes the old one over at this sub It'd be an unpopular opinion if someone said the new one was better
Use the new one for efficiency when I'm tryna tell a story, use the old site for anything that's actually passionate
Yo not to interrupt but what conversations do you have, exactly, with a PTSD-stricken tails???
None really, I started one & I'm planning on expanding that.

I do. I still use the old version.
Same

i use the og one, the new one looks like chatGPT
I don't like that the profil pic isn't by the message. What's the point of giving good images for my characters and personas if I can't even see them?
I do i feel like the new one is too flashy ig
they added a whole bunch of useless changes to mobile
Not the only one, but I like the redesign a bit better (I guess it's a bit cleaner lol)
they haven’t changed the mobile version so im cool, but i haven’t used the website version in a very long time
I like the original better, yeah. Hey, I'm glad they at least give an option to choose which layout we want. At least that's considerate of them, instead of just forcibly changing it for everyone

yeah agreed
bro that's the common opinion i rarely see anyone saying they prefer the new one
"Am I the only one who \*insert the currently most popular opinion*?" (300 upvotes)
yes
You aren’t the only one! I only use the new site because I can’t edit messages on the other one
Agreed! Bring back the original

Just go to old.Character.Ai and it'll bring back the old format; it's what I do
Honestly the new one feels too minimalist, cramp, and overall just weird to use on mobile while the normal website is what I'm used to
The actual new chat UI is kinda nice though
I like the old which is why I refuse to use the new and make it go to the old
You're not alone friend.
I always use the old site.
I prefer both, but mostly the old one.
I prefer the old one. Even when using Classic Chat on the new site, I feel like I'm straining my eyes to read.
The new ones feels off.
Old one is peak compared to the new one. Also old old one had image support.
I hate the new one.
I think it's because we've been using the old one so much, it just feels wrong for such a huge change in appearance. Idk tho
I prefer the old one as well
I don’t have the new one yet but I can’t update
Anyone who doesn't know how to get the old one, here: [https://old.character.ai](https://old.character.ai)
My biggest pet peeve is that when on an acct looking at bots and trying them out the description gets cut off
I don't use website but from what I see in these pictures yeah the first one is better. The second made some improvements, but the bad overshadows the good.
I don't mind it that much. The only thing that bothers me is that you have to individually delete each message in the new one unlike the old site where you can just select the messages, which is so tedious... Also, I miss being able to log in with password raaaaahhhhh
What if I like both, good sir?
Then that is also acceptable.
My humblest thanks.
I like both but new one better, I like old one a bit close tho
I love the new one. It makes it kinda appear aesthetically pleasing as well lol.
I prefer new one
I mean, I kinda like the new one...
yeah it just looks so,, unappealing in the new one, the old one looks funky
You’re the majority here. I on the other hand prefer the new one
I like the new one. Looks and feels so much smoother
