CraveU AIv1.1.1

I was looking for an AI to goof around with that didn't have so much cumbersome or downright silly built in censorship and decided to give this a spin. I will say that I had a delightful time with the free trial, which is indeed very generous. I mostly used the story generation feature as a sort of collaborative writing tool with a fully original story I set up and was very surprised I ended up with almost 16 pages of pretty quality text using the 'XL' model before I hit my free monthly credit limit. I'd expected maybe a quarter of that compared to other AI I've dabbled with before. I think this is an excellent trial amount because I was able to nearly complete what was more or less equivalent to a 'free chapter' from a book preview - the perfect amount to decide whether it's for you or not. I also liberally tested the 'Uncensored Creativity' claim and can confirm the AI is more than happy to write some truly depraved and rancid smut if you go out of your way to ask for it. I also did not run into any kind of explicit or distasteful content that I did not deliberately ask for either, which already makes it superior to many AI and human writers alike I've dealt with before. It followed prompts and instructions very well, even when I asked for very complicated or strange things. It also kept specific alien/monster anatomy features consistent throughout the text and referenced these features without needing to be regularly reminded of them, which is something I've struggled to get other free AI models to do in the past. It stayed on topic and in character very well for the most part and I had no issues with dramatic hallucinations or anything of that sort. The AI did seem to develop 'favorite' words and phrases it would repeat regularly, but I found this behavior easy to correct by simply manually changing or editing these repeated phrases out until it seemed to 'forget' them on its own. As I was using it to assist in writing rather than fully automate it I don't find this to be too much of an issue really, but it might be annoying if you don't have the patience to consistently edit the text to discourage it from latching on to these sorts of patterns. I did encounter one major issue in which after giving it an instruction it seemed to randomly 'break' it's brain and it began to loop the same paragraph and could not be snapped out of it by manual editing any of the generated text. adding new text, or issuing further instructions. To fix this I simply deleted all text generated after the 'bugged' instruction as well as the instruction itself and simply manually steered the text for an additional 2 paragraphs before allowing it to begin generating again without instruction. It recovered excellently after that and I had no more major issues. Over all I think this is an extremely solid AI for creative writing without pesky finger wagging from morality engineers. I would easily give it five stars if not for the fact I found that after deciding I thought it was in fact worth paying for, I found the process for actually doing that very confusing. It seems there is no way to buy credits directly but instead only through subscriptions. I am not the biggest fan of subscriptions usually, but given that the advanced and pro tier also include unlimited access to one or both models I feel those are not unreasonable in terms of price for the level of access you're getting and the overall quality of the AI. What confused me was instead the discrepancy between monthly billing and the monthly credit reset. Now, it is not only possible but extremely likely that I am misunderstanding it, but to me it reads as though regardless of when in the month you subscribe, everything resets at the beginning of the next month. So it sounds like that would punish you for subscribing later in the month for no reason since your credits would possibly reset before using them. That doesn't make sense to me so I have to imagine I'm simply understanding this incorrectly- but if that's the case I think the subscription page could do with some 'idiot proofing' to more clearly explain what parts of your subscription 'rolls over' and what 'resets'. I doubt I'm the first person to be unsure of this detail and it seems a shame to potentially lose sales over something that could be fixed with a minor language clarification. And while I do think the currently offered subscriptions are fair, I also think it is worth considering offering one off bulk credit purchases, as I think that would be enticing to people who maybe simply want to use a tool like this sporadically over time for a project here or there instead of regular/daily use and not have to worry about juggling resets or subscriptions. At least more options for people to give you money is never a bad idea I'd argue. I noticed the developer responds to comments on here so I thought I'd leave this bit of feedback, as well as my solutions to some of the problems to the issues others have reported. I greatly enjoyed using this AI and look forward to continuing to use it once my extremely un-idiotproof brain figures out the subscription logistics.
