Cool

When I entered this app, I fell in love! It's beautiful, thanks for creating it.

Latest UI update

What on earth is the latest UI update? I don't open this app for two months and now it looks like whoever is responsible for this has never touched Figma in their life. Where even are scenarios now? What is this microvideo thing, are you trying to be TikTok? Are those audiobooks? Just revert the whole app to how it was six months ago. I get the monetization push but the rest is a train wreck.

Paid image generations shouldn’t be wasted on errors

I like Character.AI and the new image generation can actually produce some really good images, but the way generation credits are handled needs fixing. I regularly request four images and get one successful image while the other three simply say “Failed to generate image. Please try again.” This is especially frustrating because generations are limited to 20 per day, with the option to pay for more. If someone is spending money on additional generations, failed images should not consume that allowance. A failed generation should either be automatically retried or the credit should be returned. AI producing an image I don’t like is understandable — that’s part of image generation. Paying or using limited credits and receiving no image at all is different. The generator has potential, but I can’t justify rating this higher while a paid/limited feature can repeatedly fail like this. I understand that generative AI costs money to operate. My problem isn’t that generations are limited or monetised; it’s that failed generations can waste that limited resource. If the app returns ‘Failed to generate image,’ that attempt should automatically retry or be refunded.

(Update: I am back.)
⭐ 1/5

The reporting system is frustratingly designed. I accidentally tapped Report on an AI-generated message, and there was no confirmation asking whether I actually wanted to submit it. There also appears to be no way to undo an accidental report. Please add a confirmation prompt and an option to retract mistaken reports.
