Original story (published on August 24, 2023) follows:

Some Janitor AI users are complaining that the ‘Character detail’ or bot description is not loading or showing up.

The character detail is helpful for users to understand the background, motivations, and personality traits of the bot that they are going to chat with.

Janitor AI ‘Character detail’ (bot description) not loading or showing up

However, by looking at the reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), it appears that multiple users have not been able to access the character detail for the past few days.

They claim that the bot description is either not loading correctly or have completely disappeared. In addition to this, they assert that the issue remains persistent across various characters and has perplexed them.

A few also claim to be experiencing difficulties in creating new characters. And this is because they can no longer use descriptions from other bots as references.

This is also bad news for those who use such information before initiating conversations with the bots.

As per the claims, they are unable to understand the bot’s personality traits and predict whether they will have an engaging and meaningful interaction or not.

Although it appears that characters’ descriptions have only been temporarily hidden by the developers. This measure has been taken to prevent the unauthorized replication of bots on other platforms.

The company also aims to safeguard creators’ efforts by implementing watermarking and will restore the descriptions soon.

However, some users are disappointed with this move and feel that the developers could utilize better methods to prevent this from happening.

Potential workaround

Luckily, we have come across a workaround that will help you get the character description like before.

A Redditor advises that you enter ‘((what is the scenario for this particular chat?))’ in the prompt box before engaging in a conversation with the bot.
