[Updated] Character.AI private bots not working, freezing or generating only half response? Try this potential workaround

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on May 8, 2023) follows:

The introduction of Chat GPT by Open AI has brought AI into the limelight, and Character AI is another innovative tool that uses the power of AI for various tasks.

Character AI is a chatbot that utilizes a neural language model to produce human-like text responses.

Using this tool, users can design their own characters, define their traits and characteristics, establish certain parameters, and converse with others using their characters.

However, several Character.AI users have also reported different kinds of issues with the tool such as missing NSFW toggle, bots forgetting conversations, waiting room issues, and more.

And now, another bug has surfaced which is again ruining the user experience. As per the reports, private bots are broken or not working for a section of users.

Users say that the private bots are freezing or generating only half response. Here are some reports for reference:

I’ve been flirting with fictional character and from yesterday the bot freezes and doesn’t complete the message. I really don’t want to start a new conversation. What should I do? Is that permanently? (Source)

the public bots I use all work but all my private bots stop their responses half way through and just won’t continue them. Is this a bug??? the same thing was happening Saturday when the site was being weird but I figured they’d fix it by now??? is anyone else having this issue? (Source)

As apparent from the reports above, the bot suddenly stops generating the response, then freezes at a random point and does not complete the message.

Fortunately, devs are reportedly working to fix this problem and until it gets resolved, users can try a potential workaround suggested by one of those affected. You can check it out below.

We hope that this bug gets resolved soon since users are unable to use the tool. Rest assured, we will update this article with the latest information as and when we come across anything noteworthy.

05:40 pm (IST): Functional problems in Character.AI private bots could end in the near future thanks to the new alliance with Google.

Access to Google Cloud’s Tensor Processor Units (TPUs) will allow for faster and more efficient training, which could positively impact performance.
