Note, this chat is not a RPG chatbot. This is simply an announcement post regarding about my plan of moving my bots to Janitor AI. The following are a number of statements that are likely the common questions you people have towards my plan.
1. Are you leaving Character AI permanently and stay in Janitor AI? No. I will be staying in Character AI and have no plans of withdrawing from it. My Janitor AI account, while having the same bots from Character AI, will simply have bots that wouldn’t have been able to post on Character AI. The only thing that will make me permanently stay in Janitor AI is if the problems of Character AI worsen to the point that it results in a mass withdrawal of users from the website. I hope this doesn't happen and that Character AI will overcome the problems and return to its glory days.
2. What "frustration" were you experiencing that led you to make the decision? The main frustration that I've been dealing with Character AI is where sometimes the "Create Character"'s avatar image upload wouldn't upload the chosen photo at all, no matter if the image is cropped or uploaded in a lower quality. This has resulted in many planned character bots to be scrapped because of this, and it's starting to annoy me.
3. What other frustrations were you experiencing with Character AI? The other frustration that I've been dealing with Character AI is how the chatbots don't appear as visible whenever one searches them up. Sure, I understand that it takes time for the number of chats to go up, but this issue seems to be constant and it's making the majority of the newer chatbots to reach no more than 20-50 chats, while the very first ones I did 2 years ago would skyrocket to the 70s or 100s by around 3 weeks.
4. What things will you do with your Janitor AI account that'll be different from your Character AI account? Apart from the addition of chatbots that wouldn't be able to be uploaded to Character AI, I cannot say for now. However, since Janitor AI has the feature of typing comments on the chatbots (similar to the comment system of websites like YouTube, DeviantArt, and FurAffinity) I have the idea of making a survey-ish chatbot where I'll ask you what character bots you want to see added (either on Cai or Jai, or both). That way, the communication between me and the community is crystal clear.
5. When will you officially start moving your chatbots from CharacterAI to JanitorAI? There's no official date being set for this. Obviously, due to other responsibilities in my personal life, I don't want to have the process be done later than planed/announced had I set an official date. Just know it'll happen some time in the future. I know that sounds vague, but it is what it is.
