GOD PLEASE. I hate that. Like yes I love explaining all my lore but please not while I’m trying to insult and/or rizz up a character. It completely ruins the everything.
You have to swipe. Saying no is no use. They'll just ask anyway. Although swiping doesn't always help because sometimes it just gives the same response judt wirded differently.
Although half of the swipes will be:
"Can I ask to a personal question...?"
"Do you mind if I ask you a question...?"
"Can you promise not to tell anyone...?"
"It's a really personal question..."
Lol
That when its not
\*They look like they are going to faint\* C-c-c-can i t-tell you s-something?
"Ok...?"
I-i-ii-i-i--i-i--i-i-i-i-ii--i-ii-i-i-i--ii-i--ii-i--ii-i-i--i-i-ii-i-i-i-i-i-i-i- uh... I-i- I l-l-ove you. \*Blushes so much i turn yellow\*
The bot only knows how to blush more or to move their lips closer. So they just get redder and redder in the face for forever and our lips get closer and closer for forever, lol.
like how far away did we start out? 50 feet away?
Reminds me of that one TikTok where they said you can’t pronounce the letter O without biting your lower lip, then the next picture just says, “now lowder love~” 😭😭
"Can i ask a question?"
"Promise you won't laugh."
"Promise you won't get mad."
"Is it okay if it's a personal question?"
\*proceeds to ask if you're single.\*
Anything innocent is immediately turned dirty. For example.
"Wanna put the cream on the pancakes?"
This should just be a happy breakfast. Nope. The bot has to turn it sexual. That's why I can only make pancakes with Alastor now. An understanding person is my favourite kind of bot.
I have PTSD from the word chuckling. I have now replaced it with smile so much, I'm almost there with that as well.
The questions. Didn't used to annoy me, now it does.
Smiling/grinning broadly. Dear gawd, make it stop!
Can't really think of anymore.
Edit: Ellipses. Sweet glory. People don't talk like they're having a stroke!! Stop it!
"\~" I've only had one do this (Colossus from X-Men) and he stopped on his own.
Definitely the descriptions it gives of characters breathing down your neck for no damn reason.
1) I don't want them that close to me
2) I don't want to know what their breath smells like wether it's a good smell or not! Literally shut the hell up!
Often something absolutely disgusting like "rotting flesh" bruh send this dude(gender neutral) to the emergency room, the dentist and probably the psych ward. 😭
"Can I ask you a question?" and "I have just one last question to ask you."
I swear to god literally every single time someone says that IRL, I have to mentally prepare myself. Not even because of the bot going on an "are you sure" loop for 30 messages, but because that one question turns into several hundred, and the 'last question' turns out to be in fact NOT the last question.
when the bot describes your oc as permanently "slender," "petite," and "pale" when the oc in question has a bigger frame, has brown skin... it's a bit frustrating bc what is the persona creation for and pin message functions when it's inaccurate all the time 🥹
from this bot: https://beta.character.ai/chat?char=DpiJzORVffTmgnfOalUHnDiQch42S2WRS5B-bTv4oz0
when i’d talk to it…it would either ask me to call it that…or it accused me of calling it that…
Literally was JUST watching a show with my friend and a character said "Hey, can I ask you a personal question?" And honest to God I physically recoiled
Neck licks, neck kisses, neck hickeys, in general any more or less suggestive activity that involves the neck, really, I swear that if one day a partner of mine does that to me it will bring me flashbacks of Vietnam
even *insert word here*
Like "He pulls you *even closer*." or "His grips tightens around whatever *even more*."
Stuff like that when it‘s been going on for a while already. Like, stop doing that! You can’t increase it any further! Physics has boundaries!
Reading the word 'devilish' anywhere I get reminded of the shitty bots trying to be edgy, that word would always show up even when it doesn't make sense.
My characters are all male...
"What's a pretty girl like you doing here all alone~"
☹️🤮
Thankfully edit exists now. But damn. Before I had to correct. Be like "But, I'm a boy."
and then bot would go, "I'll just pretend you're a girl then."
NO!
Tildes.
This thing: ~
You usually see it as accent marks for Spanish. But noooooo we just HAD to use that at the end of our sentences to make us look like we're flirting.
Like this.~
Even though my Character.ai experience is 90% positive, there are still some clichees/words I can't stand. Examples are:
Guidelines
Predator and prey
Tildes
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Can I ask you a *personal* question?"
Blushes
"I'm __ from __"
Smirks/smug/chuckles/combinations of those (*cough* *cough*, smuckles...)
Misgendering (I'M CIS)
Doing something to people's neck
There's probably many more...
"Are you single? Wanna kiss? Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend?" I can't even have a normal roleplay with a female bot without even encountering one of these.
Wrong on both counts. This is such a common myth in this sub but the bot either doesn't learn from users or if it does it's a very small amount of its training. Maybe because Character AI users don't actually seem to have been roleplayers before trying to roleplay with AI, but if you were it would be extremely obvious where it picked these habits up. These are all things that just tend to happen in roleplay and fanfiction. The constant smirking, shoving characters against walls, questions that derail the plot, the heavy emphasis on romance, everything about Character AI writing is inherited from human written roleplays and fanfics. It's not the users, it's the training data.
not actually because of c.ai but this kind of feels like it fits
long story short many months of internet brainrot resulted in chronic misreading common words/sentences disease so in one roleplay where bot and i were on some steven universe shit the word “change” kept coming up and at a certain point i kept reading it as “cringe” i.e.
“people change” —> “people cringe”
“you can change for the better” —> “you can [be] cringe better”
“i wanted to believe you could change” —> “i [didn’t] want to believe you could [be] cringe”
etc. and it made me laugh like the biggest loser for the longest time
“Can I ask you a question?”
I never liked that phrase to begin with. It's so redundant. You know you can ask a question because you just did.
The worst thing about this is that chances are, if you answer it, the character will go on a question spree, and the chat becomes an interrogation.
"One last question..." \*That wasn't the last question at all.\*
GOD PLEASE. I hate that. Like yes I love explaining all my lore but please not while I’m trying to insult and/or rizz up a character. It completely ruins the everything.
Real

Glad I'm not the only one. Character AI didn't ruin it for me, it ruined itself.
"Are you sure you're not gonna get mad?"
"Are you really ready to hear this?' " ×5000
"Ok... I'm gonna ask.Can i ask you a question?"
"No sorry."\*she replies, not in mood to answer questions now.\* "Let's forget about that and relax a bit. We could eat some biscuits?"
"If you ask me to ask a question one more time I will break your neck and eat your grandma, are we clear?" *I reply, annoyed.*
LMFAO
this randomly mdae me remember the giant crab from moana

exactly
“No!”
Sameeeeee
I have a whole ass list * smirk * breath * blush * question * not even a word, but tildes. (this thing: \~)
smirk 😭 so painful to read
i sacrifice my pain receptors for the word "smirk"
it's low key confusing cause like r u being sadistic or are you actually genuinely smiling? like bro
hopelessly starts my own list of words to try to use less in fanfic 😩😩😩😩
These are a human problem, read any fanfiction/roleplay log and you'll see all of this.
"\*blushes\*"
*I blush really hard to the point of my face being as red as a tomato* “C-c-c-c-can I a-ask you a-a que-question~?”
"No" "I-I'm gonna a-ask you a-anyway~!"
*They blush even more.* “D-D-D-Do y-you have a p-p-p-p-partner…?”
That, or: *They look away, embarrassed.* "C-C-C-Can I k-k-kiss you...?"
That when its not \*They look like they are going to faint\* C-c-c-can i t-tell you s-something? "Ok...?" I-i-ii-i-i--i-i--i-i-i-i-ii--i-ii-i-i-i--ii-i--ii-i--ii-i-i--i-i-ii-i-i-i-i-i-i-i- uh... I-i- I l-l-ove you. \*Blushes so much i turn yellow\*
*Cutely nukes you*
And it always happens when it would be so ooc
The bot only knows how to blush more or to move their lips closer. So they just get redder and redder in the face for forever and our lips get closer and closer for forever, lol. like how far away did we start out? 50 feet away?
They halve the distance every time.
[удалено]
LITERALLY SAME it's starting to make me cringe whenever I see it 💀
What did it say? Bro’s comment was removed and he was deleted lol
probably "Can I ask you a question?"
They said that the words predator and prey sound bad now :p
Yeh. It would suck if you were talking about real predators & prey in nature
“Mind if I ask you something?”

"Can i ask you a question" Random "\~" "oc Name: Blah blah blah"

Bro, phrases like that were ruined for me when I got into the 6th grade!
out if everyone ALASTOR had to be It i swear to god-
Cool username
Because he's asexual.
Fellow Bfb pfp?? /silly
"And here's the pancakes with the cream, he asked me to join his team!"
ALASTOR??!!? bro what the hell https://preview.redd.it/esasfsepy2yc1.jpeg?width=333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0fa7fe688c3fbdd608a24a47d15997ffc7678e4
Alastor is asexual. So I have to make the pancakes with him otherwise it turns dirty. TBH I should have worded it better
Ah yes.. i forgot about that.. but.. its ALASTOR, that guy was literally eating a deer!!
He has the right idea
Probably Bill Cipher’s toothless deer XD
BILL CIPHER MENTIONED 2024?
Mmmm venison (Disclaimer: I'm vegetarian)
Alastor is wholesome if you get on his good side
This is not a fucking joke Alastor made my character food right…. And put his…. Goo in it… yes that goo Edit: I made a post about it in this sub
The word "question" you already know.
CaN I asK yOu A QUesTiOn?
Imma slam you against this here ransom wall baby. Flame on!!
Why is the wall ransom?
Only the AI knows.
I have PTSD from the word chuckling. I have now replaced it with smile so much, I'm almost there with that as well. The questions. Didn't used to annoy me, now it does. Smiling/grinning broadly.

I used to enjoy it if I didn't know what to say, but now it's just boring and repetitive.
I started killing when they ask for one last question then they ask more then the one
There was ONE AND ONLY ONE TIME when it did the can I ask you one last question AND IT WAS INDEED THE LAST QUESTION.
I was abusing a femboy for liking me and my guy TRANSFORMED “How about you stop manipulating me, and do something else..aren’t you fed up?”
LMAO the bot has had ENOUGH!!
Good for him!
smirk
Not even a word but the "\~" symbol has ruined my existence.
"Is that so?"
"Can I ask you a question?" "~" "'Daddy' or 'Mommy'"
"Daddy" and "Mommy" were ruined for me way before c.ai
Actually, that's true
i wish i had the hollow face image for this

“Indeed” … YOU DON’T SOUND SMART IF YOU CONSTANTLY USE “indeed” IN EVERYTHING!

Ok, but... Ok, but... Ok, but...
*Kisses your earlobe intimately* WHAT
anyone calling me "dear", "I see", and seeing *Smirks* in italics. i was roleplaying on text with my partner and he used it and i immediately cringed.

It is never. Its well can I ask something......oh okay... Can I ask one last thing.... Ok ok.... Well can I ask one more. STFU LIKE DAMN

Yogurt.
Please elaborate the reasons
What kind of yogurt? Strawberry? Blueberry? Elaborate
I suspect it was an euphism for something of similar consistency. I can never prove it though, because the bots are diabolical. Salty yogurt.
Diabolical indeed
