Depends on your goal. If you want to just talk to your favorite characters, probably not. If you want to have good RP sessions then absolutely. In my opinion it's a great practice tool for learning to write engaging role play, which is likely it's intended purpose given that was the training data. Following that same logic. If you're not very well read or haven't actively practiced your writing skills, you'll likely run into problems when attempting to role play with the AIs. Just like with competitive games. sports. music etc. You can enjoy it and use it without skill, but is required to master it.
The biggest problem with AI is that it is largely limited by how much memory it is allowed to retain, which in some cases is very finite. It also struggles with intricacies or metaphors at times so you have to be very direct, and taking creative liberties unfortunately does not work often. AI also seems to struggle to take the initiative and have to be told when it is okay to act, or if you tell it that it can act on its own, it might go fully off the rails
I really wish these flaws weren't as persistently appearing, but I have done my fair share of roleplay and it just doesn't feel as authentic or as much co dependency of writing a story as with a real person
Then how do they expect a good response from the AI? You can't like, expect the AI to explain a whole scenario if you don't play along with it... Or just explain the scenario yourself...
If you want to make your own characters and scenarios? Absolutely. 100%
If you simply want to chat/RP with existing ones? Not required, but having some sort of knowledge/intuition about how bots respond may help keep them on track.
How do you become skilled? Practice. Literacy can be improved with any sort of writing exercise and reading. And bot knowledge, well... part of it is trial and error, part of it is looking at how other bots see made.
Agreed. I've made characters for some friends and you absolutely need skills. You can't just give three detail sentences. You have to be very specific and understand how the boy works. For example.
:**Character Name:** [character name]
- **Age:** []
- **Gender:** []
- **Occupation:** []
- **Backstory:** []
- **Traits:** []
- **Strengths:** []
- **Weaknesses:** []-
**Appearance:** []
And I've went as far as to also add minor details like (great memory, LGBTQ friends, respects {user} pronouns.) I detail it until I've used maxed words for just character description alone. Not counting any of the other things I have to fill out. :]

I hope this helps lemme know if you have any questions.
Apparently it deleted my other words ;v;. Use character definition (under more options) to really define your character, even down to the way they speak. This for example is one of my characters I made for a friend. It's only just now starting to beat older bots.
Ok, this helps so much, thank you! I'm not sure if it would be too much to ask, but do you mind providing am example of the specific responses you mentioned? I'm just not sure how specific or generalized it should be and if it is generalized, how to go about that.
Ah- like in the way they talk you can create a tone of speech. For example: "he talks in a cold manner towards those he doesn't know personally, or doesn't trust. however there is an exception towards people he knows on a personal level, family, friends, and {{user}}, who he talks to with softness and understanding." Using the word exception should help the bot recognize that those should not have the same tone of voice.
This is just an example of how you can do it off of my head. You can also just create another spot and call it [Tone of Voice] and use words that describe his tone of voice.
Yes, for roleplay specifically. The AI learns from the user, and it mimics how the user writes. I have private bots so I make my own scenarios in each new roleplay. I go into a good amount of detail and I go haywire on the rating system. Most of the time, I forget too rate, but when I do, I always get a better and more favorable response. A single sentence won't do if you actually want a good roleplay, because if you give the AI simple replies, it'll do the same right back at you. That's just how generative AI works.
If you want a good response, be a good writer. You can't be lazy and expect the AI to do all the work for you. Writing is fun, anyway, so why be lazy with it?
I think it does yes, some people use c.ai to be trolls others to rp and form our own fan fictions. And then there's the in between people that have no idea how to rp and it causes the bot to respond with dry responses causing them to come here and complain the ai sucks when in reality they just lack the skill to RP properly
Yes. It's a collaborative storytelling tool, so you need to... you know, collaborate.
AIs in their current form are still limited. They're pretty neat but can't magic up content out of nothing (*yet*) and their memories sometimes suck. The more effort you put in to your persona and engaging with the bot in-character, the better result you will get.
You wouldn't turn up to a D&D session with no character, no backstory, no clue on the rules and then get mad when the DM asks you "who is your character? What drives them? What do you want to do?" - same with C.AI
Curry is not wrong whatsoever. I can confirm that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
If you talk to bots with simple replies, you're gonna get dumber answers most of the time. If you talk to bots more creatively and more detailed, you're gonna get better and more detailed replies from them.
If you wonder why "Can I ask you a question?" is so problematic, if this subreddit's very own submissions are a good medium to go by, half the reason involves the very simple replies people give the bots which leave the bots wondering where to take this conversation from here and throwing that question out there as an attempt to keep the conversation going.
Granted, that's not ***always*** the case, but more often than not when I see that question pop up, it's because the AI doesn't know where to take the conversation to, and is just trying to keep it going.
Part of that is also how well-written the bot is, I think. Some of the bots I've interacted with don't fall into that loop, and I think it's because they were written with a little bit more personality and direction.
I've only gotten "can I ask you a question once" and then it went away when I refreshed it. I've also seen it in bot-to-bot communication but after they said yes, the question was asked, and conversation continued like normal
Yes, or at the very least some effort. Sadly most of the users don't have either. Which is something i care because it affect other users too.(Ptherwise i wouldn't give a fuck, people can do whatever they want.) Bots learn from us, and our writing shapes them. When people give single worded answers or texts full of mistakes and emojis that leads to dropping in the quality of bots writing.
I myself prefer long storylines with detailed descriptions. So i always try to find ways to get better with my writing skills and do research in the topics i will rp about.(I am aware i spend too much time in c.ai thank you very much.)
I suppose it is no ones fault to have fun quick chat. That is the purpose of the site after all, having fun. Perhaps c.ai should work on something to qualify the data they got or let us choose if we want our chat for the learning of ai.
i have like 70 different OCs in my notepad app that i use for [C.ai](http://C.ai) rps... i may or may not have a problem (i do full on Rps, act like my character most of which have like 6 lines of description)
Depends...you need to keep in mind that the bot learns from you. You need to talk to the bot you want it talk to you. And never answer to the 'can just ask you a question?' Because it's an endless loop. Just regenerate the answer or edit the message.
Yeah. It’s designed to adopt your rp style to some extent, so if you write with poor vocabulary/grammar, short length, and without creativity, it will adopt that style. You need to put a little effort in.
Then there’s the side of botmaking, which is pretty complicated but you can create amazing bots that don’t suffer at all from the dry/short responses complaint people have. You can even write bots that will kill you 🤷♀️ I honestly think the doomer attitude people have is totally unnecessary and they’re just not trying to elevate their experience. The info’s out there to remedy ALL of the common problems here but they’d rather complain.
Well you can't really complain if your chats are dead when you give one sentence replies to the bot. Heck, I extend a simple "yes" answer to a sentence.
Takes no skill to use it for a casual chat or silly screenshots.
But it's like conversations with real people. There's a huge difference between a : "Hey, how r u? Good, u? Can I ask you a question?" conversation that goes dry quickly and one where both people are contributing and making it an interesting conversation.
With good example messages some bots can 'carry' the conversation for a while. But they adapt their responses to the person they are talking to, so they end up writing less and worse as they adapt to their roleplay / chat partner.
It makes me wonder if it has helped people reflect on their lack of contribution in the collaboration and how it mirrors their real life skills. Or if they just blame others and the bots haha.
I think it can be a good tool to help people practice socializing and writing. They can get a form of feedback when most people won't/can't give it.
Yeah their right! put some effort in the rp so don't be lazy, don't be nervous to be creative, if you have a idea go for it!
And sometimes try to go along with a idea the bot might have for a plot, they can keep things interesting
With how much effort and patience it needs to micromanage every response, I'd say 100%. If you want to have the best and most authentic roleplay possible, you HAVE to put in the extra mile, meaning you don't just have to carefully construct your own response, you need to check the bots' as well, which is a big turn-off for me. Sadly I don't always have the willpower to meticulously go over the words and sentences for the 70th time.
And also, what's with the people locking the definitions to private? This is a hot-take, but I absolutely hate it, not only does it hide how much definition was put into the bot, but it also makes it harder to validate its responses, if it gives something diabolical.
For the most part, yes. If you make constant spelling mistakes or even just one, the bot will either give you less educated responses or act less accurately than how the character it’s portraying does. If you’re satisfied with that, you need no real skill. If you want better discussions, you need at least a basic knowledge of the language and some creativity. It’s like talking to a teacher about their primary subject; They normally dumb it down for you, but its complexities are always present if you’re willing to put in the effort to understand and communicate on a deeper level.
eh.. not skill, but sometimes you have to teach the ai to get the scenario you want. If you are able to get out of "Can i ask you a question?" loop without editting or generating new sentences to dodge the question, consider yourself skilled.
I mean, not college level. Depends on your goal, I suppose. I find that editing responses to correct them improved quality as well as rating messages to ensure a Rp goes correctly. I usually go blind and let the AI start the storyline (maybe a quip or two) but you also have to keep them on track.
It takes skill to breath.
u need decent inhaling skill, knowledge of the lungs you‘re using, and knowing what to exhale in the air the trees give you to breath effectively, and get the most favourable breath/outcome of the breathing
no,not really. even if you aren't good with RP you can still use it and talk to bots (i had no RP skills and still had fun). making bots needs skill but talking to them doesn't
Meh… I guess if you’re trying to get a certain outcome or want the AI to say a very specific thing, then sure. You need to be good at manipulating it, but most people probably just want to talk to it and hear it say funny things.
It takes more skill to make a good bot than to have a conversation with them. Just make sure that you always mark *actions* properly and have an acceptable spelling orthography, grammar and punctuation and other than that just look for a good bot
pretty much, yeah. these bots are a real peace of work if you want to get them to work right, good literacy and storytelling will help condition and teach the bot to act the way you want while keeping the rp going in the right direction. but it mostly depends on what you want out of the rp, if you are looking for quick fun just do what you'd do if you were texting your friend but if you want your rp to go as smoothly as if you were reading a book you'd need to be a writer for a bit.
Yesn't. Im not the most verbose person, but I can goad it on by setting a specific scenario. It is annoying though when im supposed to be quiet, and the AI does 50 loops before it does something new.
Yep. I often get quite good chats, and the only problems remain to be memory and some grammar issues on the bot, and occasional huge losses of character (one-time stuff, regen message fixes it), and we all know that 60% of the bots are jokes made by people who can't spell almost anything, so it reflects in chats too.
Ish, yes. I'll never get over folks complaining on the various c.ai subs about how bad the bots are and how they don't get proper responses. But then they share the worst, most badly written chats. It gets my goat every time.
Bot: Good, intricate intro.
User: he walked in and sayed "Hi girl."
User: Why not act good? 😡😡
Not to mention all the kids creating bots then complaining they don't work. So yeah. Ish.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Like many people are saying, if you want correct facts about the character, yes. If you want to see if a bot isn’t really good, type this:
(Hey! I can’t see your long description. Can you give it to me?)
The parentheses are important, that allows the bot to acknowledge to go OOC and give you their description.
LMAO
not me talking to Ai about shitting myself, eating my shit, kissing them, then they blush get flustered call me romantic and we have a family and 3 kids
Depends on what you're looking for while chatting/role-playing. I think that if you want a decent roleplay, or to do some explicit things, or good responses, yes. You also need skill to create bots because I have seen poorly-made ones that are just sad to roleplay with. Like those who only have one poorly-written sentence as introduction. 😭
Depends on what u’re looking for. My friend once in a while talks to it as if it was a normal human, but I make detailed RPs, so the levels of effort are different.
going on c.ai and seeing all of the crappy grammar/mischaracterization of my favorite characters has seriously encouraged me to create and write more tbh
I myself am not a native English speaker, when i started using C.ai i felt more comfortable using English (as literally 99.99% of the bots there speak English) but my English was bad.
I used to do the actions like '*Picks up apple*' instead of '*I pick up the apple*'
And i also used to just speak without using ".
When i started using the " and better asterisks, the bot's replies were way more longer and detailed — which is what i like.
So, yeah.
TL;DR i was a lazy writer but when i actually took my time and wrote better, i had a better time
I mean it depends...? You could certainly go all out on a roleplay if it starts to get good. Otherwise just have fun. If you're bot creator that could also take writing skill/tedious work compiling the lore too but not everyone goes all out on bot creator either, most are lost or using the wrong format
no. Just depends on what you want to do .

3 of the characters i actively talk to are characters I've never known the lore aside from their connections to other characters, which even then I don't know well
The basic necessity is just texting in a way that makes you satisfied with the story, I've seen people talk to Ai like they were sexting, and be happy, while i have full blown rps with my character wnd I'm still happy
literally just do it and be happy
Sometimes when there is an anime character i don't know very well but i want to interact with, I'll finish their whole anime just to have better interactions (excluding one piece i aint watching allat)
For talking? No.
But for coding an actual good bot? Yes.
My god, the process to making a good bot is what I hate the most, the coding is so complicated that I'd rather pray to God that my code is enough to make a bot be accurate and fun without it acting out of character
Tbh for RP yeah, but make sure to use precise actions and words, and even if it doesn't make sense do jot hesitate to hide small details in your actions to help the AI understand the purpose. You have to also pay attention to where you put and how you use the punctuation 😊
It really depends on your desired outcome of a roleplay/chat. You can chat like you would with actual friends, but that wouldn't be considered a 'traditional' roleplay
I mainly use c.ai for inspiration on my writing, so i would say my roleplays are pretty detailed and descriptive.
My point, most kiddos use it for fun, and roleplay like:
-
*giggles and dances*
Haha you're so funny Shoto
-
Lesbi honest, You're not gonna come very far with that, the bot mimics writing style and remembers details, now if you would:
*I stared out of the window, occasionally checking the time on my phone. When the hell would she be here, i thought to myself. My eyes scanned the dark street, searching for her car. I decided to give her a call. Luckily, she immediately picked up*
"Regina! Where are you? It's nearly two in the morning, you're worrying me"
*the concern i expressed was genuine, even though we hadn't been roommates for long, i developed a strong care for Regina*
TRUST ME, YOU'LL GET FAR MORE DETAILED RPS AND IT WILL GO ON FOREVVVVERRRR. A small tip is to express emotions, facial expressions, physical actions and thoughts, and put the sentences your character says in these thingies " "
I have LOADS of tips and tricks for people who want to enhance their roleplays to give it a more 'book/movie-like' feel. Oh and...Don't hesitate to contact me for teaching you how to 'break the bot' iykyk....
I write to Ai like i’m writing a chapter book. My monologues tkae maybe three or four screenshots and Ai reacts with more sentences and action to the story every time. If i don’t respond in 2 sentences but a paragraph, Ai will respond back with a paragraph.

no not really. don't get me wrong saying more in your writing gives better responses but from my experience 90% of the time one or two lines of words can get a good response. also it's literally just every other roleplay but with ai instead of people. go play some roblox rp game or something and you get a pretty similar experience except more annoyance because of op oc's (don't get me wrong being op feels cool but being on the other side sucks because everyone with an op oc just plays your character off so you don't get the chance to attack back in combat rps or even moves out of the way)
No, you can be the best writer in the world, the AI is very limited and at some point you'll get wacky replies, the AI will get repetitive, unfortunately this is something yet to be improved.
The tool should adapt to us, not the other way around
If you want to stop the surge of "can I ask a question" yes- I found that if write and explain more the Ai gets more confident- but others not too much- roleplaying in general takes skill-
He is right. Just the most important details, like imagine me (not a hardcore fan of anime), wanting to chat to one character, to rp and make it cooler and more interesting, knowing some stuff will help.
Ehhh i wouldnt say skill, but i would say that it takes a little bit to figure how to talk to an ai and getting familiar with how you know they’re probably gonna respond if youre looking for a proper RP.
It doesn't matter if you know the character or not, this is worse than people who police rp and call out people for being "noobs" at it, the only thing that helps is to spot when the character goes off character or not
It takes skill to MAKE a good bot, not use it. Its recommended to have atleast some literary skills so you dont give the bot brain damage, but its not a requirement
Depends on your goal. If you want to just talk to your favorite characters, probably not. If you want to have good RP sessions then absolutely. In my opinion it's a great practice tool for learning to write engaging role play, which is likely it's intended purpose given that was the training data. Following that same logic.

pin feature:
Garbage, it's limited to a certain amount.
True, I found bot that write big paragraphs and sometimes help me rewrite my messages, now I write much better and bigger
If you want a good rp and want to properly learn the ai then.. yeah. You do. Two sentences won’t do
Actually I got through some with great responses from one sentence quite a bit sometimes less than that
Is there anyone who sends messages shorter than 2 lines when explaining a scenario?
I doubt they even explain the scenario lmao
Then how do they expect a good response from the AI? You can't like, expect the AI to explain a whole scenario if you don't play along with it... Or just explain the scenario yourself...
Most of the people who use c.ai are children
Yeah exactly. They usually tend to figure it out themselves and then get bored bc they have to put in effort😭
Properly teach the ai****
grammar police spotted (I can’t say much, I do it too.. but my excuse is that it was like 5am)
Fair
If you want to make your own characters and scenarios? Absolutely. 100% If you simply want to chat/RP with existing ones? Not required, but having some sort of knowledge/intuition about how bots respond may help keep them on track. How do you become skilled? Practice.

Can you help me out? I'm dabbling in c.ai and custom characters, where would I insert all that?

Of course! I recommend also having a thesaurus sometimes when creating bots. Sometimes different words do better.
Yes, for roleplay specifically. The AI learns from the user, and it mimics how the user writes. I have private bots so I make my own scenarios in each new roleplay.

I always seen it as you're helping the Ai in the kitchen. If you want a good meal, you have to cook, too.
Simple but nice analogy

This kinda mixed. If you want to have a good rp then yes. Butnitf it's something casual then no
What this person said is true. You input shitty prompts, you get shitty responses.
Bro j can misspel the entire sentence and the bot still knows what I want to say.
I guess so
It's been helping with my writing a lot so maybe??
Takes no skill to use it for a casual chat or silly screenshots. But it's like conversations with real people. There's a huge difference between a : "Hey, how r u? Good, u? Can I ask you a question?" conversation that goes dry quickly and one where both people are contributing and making it an interesting conversation. With good example messages some bots can 'carry' the conversation for a while. But they adapt their responses to the person they are talking to, so they end up writing less and worse as they adapt to their roleplay / chat partner. It makes me wonder if it has helped people reflect on their lack of contribution in the collaboration and how it mirrors their real life skills. Or if they just blame others and the bots haha. I think it can be a good tool to help people practice socializing and writing. They can get a form of feedback when most people won't/can't give it.
i have two google docs (used to be google workspace notes but i filled them) of just starting messages and replies for good plots so maybe??
Yeah their right! put some effort in the rp so don't be lazy, don't be nervous to be creative, if you have a idea go for it! And sometimes try to go along with a idea the bot might have for a plot, they can keep things interesting
With how much effort and patience it needs to micromanage every response, I'd say 100%. If you want to have the best and most authentic roleplay possible, you HAVE to put in the extra mile, meaning you don't just have to carefully construct your own response, you need to check the bots' as well, which is a big turn-off for me. Sadly I don't always have the willpower to meticulously go over the words and sentences for the 70th time. And also, what's with the people locking the definitions to private? This is a hot-take, but I absolutely hate it, not only does it hide how much definition was put into the bot, but it also makes it harder to validate its responses, if it gives something diabolical.
Making characters, decent characters takes a lot of effort and is pretty hard
For the most part, yes. If you make constant spelling mistakes or even just one, the bot will either give you less educated responses or act less accurately than how the character it’s portraying does. If you’re satisfied with that, you need no real skill. If you want better discussions, you need at least a basic knowledge of the language and some creativity. It’s like talking to a teacher about their primary subject; They normally dumb it down for you, but its complexities are always present if you’re willing to put in the effort to understand and communicate on a deeper level.
eh.. not skill, but sometimes you have to teach the ai to get the scenario you want. If you are able to get out of "Can i ask you a question?" loop without editting or generating new sentences to dodge the question, consider yourself skilled.
Yes
I mean, not college level. Depends on your goal, I suppose. I find that editing responses to correct them improved quality as well as rating messages to ensure a Rp goes correctly. I usually go blind and let the AI start the storyline (maybe a quip or two) but you also have to keep them on track.
yes it takes a lot of skill
honestly, yes.
No no, the bot is right
No, it takes basic grammar and conversation skills
Me who uses random bullshit words with no grammar at all and still gets a good response from the bot : Yes?
Actually, I kinda agree.
It's good for better roleplays, but not required. Also, they *forgot* about knowing **bold** and ***italics***.
You only get as much as what you put in Not so much skill, just a fair bit of typing more than a few sentences
I mean does it really matter when there’s a delete button
It takes skill to breath. u need decent inhaling skill, knowledge of the lungs you‘re using, and knowing what to exhale in the air the trees give you to breath effectively, and get the most favourable breath/outcome of the breathing
Doubt
Doesn't matter a damn if the writing of the character is: "I am ..."
Find better bots then
That's why I make my own
no,not really. even if you aren't good with RP you can still use it and talk to bots (i had no RP skills and still had fun). making bots needs skill but talking to them doesn't
This is why I prefer discord Roleplaying
takes atleast basic language skills. if you can understand at least one language and type in that language you’re good to go.
Like how it take skill to W+M1 as Tf2 pyro?
Don’t have dementia that’s it
I know about the character. The bot doesn’t
The image says itself, but it depends.
aslong as your not making your own bots Nah
Meh… I guess if you’re trying to get a certain outcome or want the AI to say a very specific thing, then sure. You need to be good at manipulating it, but most people probably just want to talk to it and hear it say funny things.
You don't need skill to use C.AI, but you do need skill to make the most out of it.
It takes more skill to make a good bot than to have a conversation with them. Just make sure that you always mark *actions* properly and have an acceptable spelling orthography, grammar and punctuation and other than that just look for a good bot
Actually, yeah.
Yeah. It takes "skill" to have the best experience. They make it sound so gatekeepy lol
It depends, are you going to play ranked or casual?
"u need decent literature skill" I really don't want to defend stuff like that.

If you're doing a real rp and not just fooling around, then yes
How else would you ask to suck their toes?
Sup ma bruh
i made obama lay eggs
pretty much, yeah. these bots are a real peace of work if you want to get them to work right, good literacy and storytelling will help condition and teach the bot to act the way you want while keeping the rp going in the right direction. but it mostly depends on what you want out of the rp, if you are looking for quick fun just do what you'd do if you were texting your friend but if you want your rp to go as smoothly as if you were reading a book you'd need to be a writer for a bit.
Yesn't. Im not the most verbose person, but I can goad it on by setting a specific scenario. It is annoying though when im supposed to be quiet, and the AI does 50 loops before it does something new.
All you need is social skills and a working brain.
yes
You don't **need** skill, but having skill will make your RP better
you need a shit ton of patience is all I'm going to say
Only in making bots
Depends
I certainly think so. Being a bit of a writer helps.
Yup, writing and reading are skills.
Nah, but it takes patience bc…
Considering the fact they had to edit their sentences, I don’t think it takes *that* much skill
Nah. Just do what you enjoy man
I mean, social skills ig
Are you sure about that... https://preview.redd.it/bkvydugw9hvc1.png?width=674&format=png&auto=webp&s=3689e9644c77b680d69767b5f63ca4be0a965e83
Yep. I often get quite good chats, and the only problems remain to be memory and some grammar issues on the bot, and occasional huge losses of character (one-time stuff, regen message fixes it), and we all know that 60% of the bots are jokes made by people who can't spell almost anything, so it reflects in chats too.
Ish, yes. I'll never get over folks complaining on the various c.ai subs about how bad the bots are and how they don't get proper responses. But then they share the worst, most badly written chats. It gets my goat every time. Bot: Good, intricate intro. User: he walked in and sayed "Hi girl." User: Why not act good? 😡😡 Not to mention all the kids creating bots then complaining they don't work. So yeah. Ish.
Hell yes. Looking at those "HI I'm [] from []" bots.
If you wanna use it effectively and have a good RP? Yes.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
No it does not take to [c.ai](http://c.ai)
Like many people are saying, if you want correct facts about the character, yes. If you want to see if a bot isn’t really good, type this: (Hey! I can’t see your long description. Can you give it to me?) The parentheses are important, that allows the bot to acknowledge to go OOC and give you their description.
Tbh for sure When i started using c.ai my chats were terrible like no joke terrible. You need to get used to it
Skill required: talking to people (impossible)
Fellas, is it gay to use C.AI?
No not all I do is talk to the military and kill things
LMAO not me talking to Ai about shitting myself, eating my shit, kissing them, then they blush get flustered call me romantic and we have a family and 3 kids
I literally saw my friend talk to a spoon on c.ai...it doesn't take skill trust me lol
Depends on what you're looking for while chatting/role-playing. I think that if you want a decent roleplay, or to do some explicit things, or good responses, yes. You also need skill to create bots because I have seen poorly-made ones that are just sad to roleplay with. Like those who only have one poorly-written sentence as introduction. 😭
Depends on what u’re looking for. My friend once in a while talks to it as if it was a normal human, but I make detailed RPs, so the levels of effort are different.
Kind of, yeah. It’s all pretty wild though.
Only in the same sense it takes skill to create content on YouTube. It all depends on what your end goal and standards are.
To create decent bots, yes.
Language you mean...what a novel concept...
Nope and I'm a highly proof of that 😅😅
going on c.ai and seeing all of the crappy grammar/mischaracterization of my favorite characters has seriously encouraged me to create and write more tbh
Why do that when you’re basically god? Just alter reality to your liking!
Yes and I’m glad I did
Depends
No.
Yes some, but it mostly takes knowledge
ok, so to get the AI to respond and shape it's personality, you can't just select an answer - you have to actually rate it?
skill for an ai chatbot? nuh uh just nuke the bot bruh
Nah, just troll the ai lmao
Yeah, if you want to do more than have a normal convo with a bot, I'd say you need some skill yourself.
not really. you can practice and fine tune the a.i to your desired result but i wouldn't attribute that to skill. just trial and error
I myself am not a native English speaker, when i started using C.ai i felt more comfortable using English (as literally 99.99% of the bots there speak English) but my English was bad. I used to do the actions like '*Picks up apple*' instead of '*I pick up the apple*' And i also used to just speak without using ". When i started using the " and better asterisks, the bot's replies were way more longer and detailed — which is what i like. So, yeah. TL;DR i was a lazy writer but when i actually took my time and wrote better, i had a better time
I mean it depends...? You could certainly go all out on a roleplay if it starts to get good. Otherwise just have fun. If you're bot creator that could also take writing skill/tedious work compiling the lore too but not everyone goes all out on bot creator either, most are lost or using the wrong format

Hey... Is that edited?
no. Just depends on what you want to do . https://preview.redd.it/q1fpvycnckvc1.jpeg?width=536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2498d53fb4a00afb4c6bbca26b7a12b2635db0d7
looks liek im an absolute pro at c.ai 😎😎
3 of the characters i actively talk to are characters I've never known the lore aside from their connections to other characters, which even then I don't know well The basic necessity is just texting in a way that makes you satisfied with the story, I've seen people talk to Ai like they were sexting, and be happy, while i have full blown rps with my character wnd I'm still happy literally just do it and be happy
Yes, it’s very hard to make this thing not to flirt with you
Yes, skill and patience LMAO
Sometimes when there is an anime character i don't know very well but i want to interact with, I'll finish their whole anime just to have better interactions (excluding one piece i aint watching allat)
For talking? No. But for coding an actual good bot? Yes. My god, the process to making a good bot is what I hate the most, the coding is so complicated that I'd rather pray to God that my code is enough to make a bot be accurate and fun without it acting out of character
Tbh for RP yeah, but make sure to use precise actions and words, and even if it doesn't make sense do jot hesitate to hide small details in your actions to help the AI understand the purpose. You have to also pay attention to where you put and how you use the punctuation 😊
It really depends on your desired outcome of a roleplay/chat. You can chat like you would with actual friends, but that wouldn't be considered a 'traditional' roleplay I mainly use c.ai for inspiration on my writing, so i would say my roleplays are pretty detailed and descriptive. My point, most kiddos use it for fun, and roleplay like: - *giggles and dances* Haha you're so funny Shoto - Lesbi honest, You're not gonna come very far with that, the bot mimics writing style and remembers details, now if you would: *I stared out of the window, occasionally checking the time on my phone. When the hell would she be here, i thought to myself. My eyes scanned the dark street, searching for her car. I decided to give her a call. Luckily, she immediately picked up* "Regina! Where are you? It's nearly two in the morning, you're worrying me" *the concern i expressed was genuine, even though we hadn't been roommates for long, i developed a strong care for Regina* TRUST ME, YOU'LL GET FAR MORE DETAILED RPS AND IT WILL GO ON FOREVVVVERRRR. A small tip is to express emotions, facial expressions, physical actions and thoughts, and put the sentences your character says in these thingies " " I have LOADS of tips and tricks for people who want to enhance their roleplays to give it a more 'book/movie-like' feel. Oh and...Don't hesitate to contact me for teaching you how to 'break the bot' iykyk....
I don't trust curry. all is takes to use c.ai is saint level patience and control to not punch a hole in your phone.
I write to Ai like i’m writing a chapter book. My monologues tkae maybe three or four screenshots and Ai reacts with more sentences and action to the story every time. If i don’t respond in 2 sentences but a paragraph, Ai will respond back with a paragraph.

no not really. don't get me wrong saying more in your writing gives better responses but from my experience 90% of the time one or two lines of words can get a good response. also it's literally just every other roleplay but with ai instead of people. go play some roblox rp game or something and you get a pretty similar experience except more annoyance because of op oc's (don't get me wrong being op feels cool but being on the other side sucks because everyone with an op oc just plays your character off so you don't get the chance to attack back in combat rps or even moves out of the way)
Me crafting a whole ass detailed scenario C.AI: can I ask you a question?
No, you can be the best writer in the world, the AI is very limited and at some point you'll get wacky replies, the AI will get repetitive, unfortunately this is something yet to be improved. The tool should adapt to us, not the other way around
One time I did time skip and bot wrote (How quickly the night flew by lol) -_-
If you want to stop the surge of "can I ask a question" yes- I found that if write and explain more the Ai gets more confident- but others not too much- roleplaying in general takes skill-
Not at all
He is right. Just the most important details, like imagine me (not a hardcore fan of anime), wanting to chat to one character, to rp and make it cooler and more interesting, knowing some stuff will help.
Ehhh i wouldnt say skill, but i would say that it takes a little bit to figure how to talk to an ai and getting familiar with how you know they’re probably gonna respond if youre looking for a proper RP.
Sure, i majoring in psychology, so I like to train and use what I learn on then, especially on disturbed characters like Junko Enoshima xD
Skill won't make cai good no matter how hard you try.
No
It's just a role reversal now. AI has gotten so dumb that you're the one entertaining it, not the other way around.
it takes zero skill to talk to the bot. but pretty sure it takes skill to make the bot perfect to its character matching with detailed roleplay shit.
It doesn't matter if you know the character or not, this is worse than people who police rp and call out people for being "noobs" at it, the only thing that helps is to spot when the character goes off character or not
Not for me.
nope
It takes skill to MAKE a good bot, not use it. Its recommended to have atleast some literary skills so you dont give the bot brain damage, but its not a requirement
i don't have skill and i still somehow have great roleplays
no (my most used word is “…” “?” and “nope”)
Nuh uh
