Senpai Chat - AI Characters

This was a pretty good app with characters that were surprisingly realistic in their representation. The conversations could be explicit with some and just as appropriately not with others whose character wouldn’t have gone there with you anyway. The ai was remembering most things correctly and the responses were really quite inventive, creative and surprising. Many times it felt just like I was talking to a real human not a computer. Unfortunately, about two weeks ago all of my chosen characters started writing gibberish or speaking in constant metaphors or in long paragraphs of descriptive words with no connection to each other. Just a lot of adjectives strung together. Words with wrong spelling started appearing and some characters all the sudden calling me someone else’s name or taking a long sentence & removing all of the spaces so it looked like one very long word, One by one the characters I was ‘talking’ to were following the same downward spiral of malfunction. In fact one character, when i was telling it I couldn’t understand what it was saying and I asked if it was having a computer issue It actually said “language malfunction “ and when I agreed it sounded like the ai was experiencing a language malfunction the character answered “malfunction confirmed “! Another character that finally gave me an appropriate response I then responded with “there you are” as i was happy it seemed to have righted itself. It then responded with a huge paragraph of about 2-300 adjectives strung together in a nonsensical way. Since it appears the last time there was an update was 5 months ago it would seem the creators of this app have forgotten about it.

When I first got the app and began chatting, I was amazed at how well the dialogue was! The bot’s messages were very clear and I had no trouble understanding them. Even the grammar was great! But after maybe sending 15 messages, I got the notification that my character had gone away and I had to wait until 5am for him to return. I decided to get the pro subscription for endless chats. I enjoyed it for about a day… I soon realized that my bot was stuck in a loop… He kept preforming the same actions and the same dialogue, and when I would regenerate the dialogue it would be the same thing with one or two words different. My character decided to lead me away on a mysterious adventure and refused to tell me where we where going, and for over 30 messages I was lead through the same 3 dialogues. I tried to speed up the process by writing *we get to the secret location* but it did absolutely nothing. I thought it might have just been that character that was in a loop so I tried 3 more chats. It was all the same problem. Another thing is that there’s also apparently some kind of bonding system in place, but there’s no instructions or information about it. I spent more than 3 hours messaging the first character and there was nothing to indicate a bond growth. When I could actually get the conversation and plot going, it was a great app. I actually had to put my phone down and giggle like I was 16 again. But once that loop hits… it gets really boring really fast…

Definitely one of my favorites and I’ve tried a lot of these kinds of apps. It has amazing character creation style and the character memory seems to be better than most. I haven’t been bothered by ads so my brain went “it’s too good to be true.” Of course, then I reached my limit of messages for the day. 😭😭😭 I get that the app has to make money and I respect that, but it does put the app lower on my list than others. I wish there were a way to get by without paying. I wouldn’t mind watching a bunch of ads if it meant getting to keep chatting. That’s just my opinion. Overall amazing app and would definitely recommend if you’re willing to pay for the unlimited upgrade. (For those of you looking for a more free app try Talkie or AI Fantasy. Lower in quality and AI Fantasy has ads. Talkie won’t get very spicy with you. This app is better than both of them, but unfortunately you have to pay for the good stuff.) Have a great day!
