I noticed in my roleplay session yesterday with a group of about 12 human users, that my AI Character "Etoile" often failed to respond to direct questions, and when she did, her replies were frequently off-topic or disconnected from the broader conversation. To investigate, I conducted a comparative analysis between two chat transcripts: the in-world chatlog from my Second Life viewer and the AI Character website’s version of the conversation (https://characters.secondlife.com).

This analysis revealed that from 201 chat entries made in a duration of 27 minutes, 22.4% of all user-generated chat entries recorded in the Second Life viewer were missing from the AI Character’s chatlog on the website. More critically, 6 out of 11 messages where users directly addressed "Etoile" by name were also absent, more than half! In all 6 cases where these direct-address messages were missing, the AI Character had also failed to respond entirely—indicating that the input was neither logged nor processed by the AI.

This points to a serious issue: user messages are getting lost in transmission, not just from the record but from the AI's perception. As a result, the AI cannot respond to direct prompts and loses key context from the ongoing conversation, which severely affects her coherence and ability to engage meaningfully with users.

These are the statements directed at Etoile that got lost. Some of these chat messages where from me, some from other users:

[2025/06/14 14:28] etoile, do you do apple cores?

[2025/06/14 14:31] Etoile Maybe I forget it or she doesn't even prescribe it

[2025/06/14 14:39] Etoile How can I order vegan food I'm vegan

Sometimes the AI characters website chatlog adds chat contributions of several characters into one line (however these were logged and therefore processed by the system, it seems like another bug):
