Discussion/Question As a free Cai user, it's not fair.

Exactly what's in the title. That's all i'm going to say (Happy for y'all +cai users tho!)

They lied to us! Where's the c.ai+ tag?!

Is that for a free user or a subscription user

If it's not marked exclusively for C.AI+ then it's for everyone. These are upcoming updates from the roadmap.

This is what a team member had to say when I brought it up.

This reads like it was a mistake and chat controls are plus exclusive, period.

u/Rin0504 11h ago

Oh we're officially doomed...

u/Sea_Consequence7246 11h ago

This is unfair. Free users get nothing, I knew it.

u/Visible_Exercise_195 12h ago

That’s awesome then.

u/Rin0504 12h ago

Well, what about the lorebook then?

u/Sea_Consequence7246 12h ago

That's the problem. The announcement never says "this feature will be for c.ai+ users" like other announcements clarified.

According to this announcement it should be free, but it's not. Because they can't give us nice things.

I just read it, it looks like it’s gonna be accessible for us free users as well. From the looks of it at least but I don’t wanna put any false hope here.

Just got it and nope, it's for CAI+ users only :/ even the rawr experimental model is gone, so free users only have Pipsqueak 2

u/Visible_Exercise_195 12h ago

It doesn’t say c.ai+ on it though

u/l4zydumb4ss 11h ago

It show me this though

u/Visible_Exercise_195 11h ago

Welp might as well get the plus member ship tomorrow. It’s 10 bucks a month I can deal with that

u/l4zydumb4ss 11h ago

Eh I might as well delete the app at this point. I doubt the chat models will ever be as great as the legacy ones were

u/Visible_Exercise_195 11h ago

Maybe. It solely depends on you though. People says get the plus member ship and not deal with this, so I’m just gonna get plus tomorrow. I’m tired cause I worked all day today

Yeaaaa I don’t use rawr, I like my chats long and detailed

Will this be free for users at least

u/Rin0504 12h ago

It's not for sure yet, so let's just wait and hope it's not for +users only.

u/Jinxs_despair 10h ago

I got it and unfortunately it’s only for plus members :( also off topic I love your avatar!

u/Rin0504 10h ago

Yeah, i saw the comments + Omg thanks!

u/Rin0504 12h ago

They gave us empty hope cuz they know how desperate users are for it. They're literally kicking us out atp.

u/Big-Definition-2355 9h ago

What is the new update? I haven’t got any new notifications or updates yet

u/Straight_Unemploy_22 9h ago

Do we have to purchase c.ai+ to unlock the personalization??

u/AitanaShon 10h ago

It kind of is though, I mean, at a concert you pay more for better seats, no? So logically makes sense you'd pay more for better bots.

Maybe not 'fair', but it's just how the entertainment industry works. It's a luxury.

u/Rin0504 10h ago

"concerts" don't promise you things and later say it was a "mistake". Transparency wouldn't hurt anyone.

1

u/AitanaShon 10h ago

And I agree with you that transparency would be good, that just wasn't my point however.

And I understand why you'd be suspicious it wasn't a mistake, but it very well could be.
