[scarlet fulcrum]

Well cai is cracking down on real life celebrity bots

[graceful scaffold]

where are your parents? why do they let you act like this? why are you the way that you are?

[indigo token]

Okay, I think we're all getting a bit heated here. Please calm down.

[graceful scaffold]

right, just 🍅 them into oblivion

[nova narwhal]

🍅

[hazy barn]

dude what’s going on??

[pure hill]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Rn? Someone not listening to advice on calming down and taking a breather

[pure hill]

Targ bot withdrawal symptoms

[nova narwhal]

immaturity

[graceful scaffold]

just your average day in the c.ai discord

[timber canopy]

I'm calm for the first time I enter discord, I hope empathy is a good word (I'm not from the USA) I'm from somewhere else

[hazy barn]

oh😭 and c.ai is being sued.. huh?? What’re they being sued for?

[vestal nest]

That's what I'm wondering

[pure hill]

Look up cai sued nyt

[graceful scaffold]

🤨 I mean I think empathy is a basic human concept

[scarlet fulcrum]

Seach up cai sued nyt

[hazy barn]

alr

[pure hill]

The contents gonna be automodded here

[nova narwhal]

people need to learn basic human respect a bot being wiped is not the end of the world

[vestal nest]

I just looked it up and that's so sad for the kid

[hazy barn]

this

OMG.

[timber canopy]

Now someone tells me how to delete a discord account, I already found out everything I needed to know, thank you

[graceful scaffold]

I don't care where you come from basic human decency is vital and if you don't have that then that sounds like a skill issue on your end

[nova narwhal]

i hope the family is doing okay

[pure hill]

Settings > delete account

[graceful scaffold]

so that's it? you get criticized once and decide you're done with discord? skill issue fr

[bright steppe]

Like people are saying that the c.ai is getting a stronger c£Nşøřşħ!P cause it’s becoming a children’s app/site but I genuinely don’t think that’s happening cause if it was, they wouldn’t put a better ç€ñșőRșħįP for V!0łēņçē as an option in new updates on #📣︱announcements and if that kind of changes were happening they would’ve said so on that same announcements (the message took longer to send cause I had to make sure it doesn’t get ăüțøM0ďėď)

[pure hill]

I think she literally signed up to discord to ask

[shadow storm]

Can we just get rid of the got bots and leave the rest

[hazy barn]

what’s even in the new update?? Can’t even log into the website😭😭

[pure hill]

But then again account is from july

[scarlet fulcrum]

I feel like their trolling at this point they joined in July but only joined here today

[bright steppe]

The update is upcoming

[graceful scaffold]

everyone's bots aren't being wiped

[hazy barn]

I mean I wanna know what the future updates r gonna be about

[shadow storm]

I'm confused I heard that got and hod ones were

[bright steppe]

#📣︱announcements they let us vote with one we want

[hazy barn]

OHH that

tank u

[graceful scaffold]

those ones are AFAIK except for a select few characters, I think it's more the leads than anyone else, but as far as fandom bots in general those are still fine

[timber canopy]

ok ok apologies to everyone who felt offended, I don't know why (I only installed discord to guess what was happening).

[shadow storm]

Okay awesome thanks for the clarification

[timber canopy]

so goodbye, I hope you have a nice afternoon, night, day!

[shadow storm]

Cai is the best site for ai charact rb chatbot stuff id hate for it to be censored

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah game of thrones rpg bots still seem to work

[pure hill]

It already is?

[shadow storm]

I remember back in 2022 when people said the same exact thing

[scarlet fulcrum]

It's more mainstream so it has better funding which makes it "better site for ai"

[pure hill]

Considering the IP owner probably won't that long

[nova narwhal]

mine was like an hour ago but i havent been on

[scarlet fulcrum]

True but those might fall under more fair use since it's not about an actual character and more a world

[vestal nest]

Mines been slow on and off since yesterday

[pure hill]

As in, just save the chats and consider it borrowed time

If they stay yay, if not you saw it coming

[scarlet fulcrum]

Little slow when I first went on

[halcyon lantern]

Hi y'all, what's happening with c.ai?

[nova narwhal]

its a shit show rn lol

[pure hill]

[vestal nest]

Tbh, I would scroll up since it's a lot

[halcyon lantern]

I don't have c ai rn but i want to know what's happening 😭

[pure hill]

Tldr hotd and got bots got nuked, related to a tragedy + lawsuit

And the community especially reddit reacts.. exactly how you'd expect them to

[vestal nest]

Reddit is a crazy show as always

[pure hill]

Yeah place should get poured an aluminium melt on like a fire ant colony

[scarlet fulcrum]

I think it would have been better if that gave it some time instead of doing it immediately but maybe the takedown said to do it immediately

[nova narwhal]

or if they actually explained their reasonings

[pure hill]

If they did warn, what are the chances people complain and panic instead instead of saving chats

[scarlet fulcrum]

But y'know it could also help if they explained things and made post about problems....

[pure hill]

Old site was given like a month+ and ppl still complain

They probably cant be clear about it because of the lawsuit

[nova narwhal]

im saying

[halcyon lantern]

Wait why do we have to save chats?

[vestal nest]

I dont even know how to save chats lol

[halcyon lantern]

Lol same

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah true but still could have reduced the people flood the chats asking constantly what is going on and freaking out and spreading misinformation

[pure hill]

They nuked, as in deleted hotd and got bots, all chats are gone

[halcyon lantern]

With all bots?

[pure hill]

Not shadowbanned/ privated/ unlisted them, they gone

[pure hill]

That franchise? Yeah, there are still a few but they're probably will be gone soon

[halcyon lantern]

Oh no😭

[timber canopy]

I'm sorry for not knowing the news, and I'm sorry if anyone felt offended in my country, that news didn't come out about that poor child, so I'm sorry, now I want you to recommend fandoms of something if you want.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Alright y'all I gotta go. I'm tired and I'm getting a headache only on the left side of my head 🫠

[vestal nest]

Those suck, feel better soon

[scarlet fulcrum]

They do suck. When it's the entire head at least it feels like the pain is spread out more evenly.

[graceful scaffold]

I'm sorry if anyone felt offended

[nova narwhal]

[vestal nest]

True. I always get headaches that start in between my eyes then goes to sides of my head ;;

[nova narwhal]

i hate those types of headaches

[scarlet fulcrum]

That's kinda what's happening

[vestal nest]

Ah, ya. I just want to fall asleep when I get them since when my eyes are close the pain is not that bad

[timber canopy]

Do you have to use WiFi for character AI can you not use youre phone service even when you have full bars

[rough depot]

it might seem crazy what i'm bout to say

[dense haven]

is character ai gonna be fine

[sand shadow]

Guys, for some reason I got kicked from the server here

[nova narwhal]

no way did you actually

[sand shadow]

Yea I stopped talking around like 5 bc I was sleeping and then I came on, the server was gone

[nova narwhal]

oh wthh 😭

[sand shadow]

Do we have a mod here or something that will enlighten me?

Because that’s fucked. I didn’t break any rules.

[hardy holly]

Sometimes Discord has a hiccup

[nova narwhal]

nah its been happening to A LOT of people

theres like 3 people that got banned already and a handful of others who got kicked

[sand shadow]

Yeah. I would’ve noticed it in my other servers and it was weird

That was a deliberate kick.

[hardy holly]

Did you have to rejoin the server?

[sand shadow]

Yeah

I did.

I thought it was a fluke or a glitch so I had originally refresh everything and I still was kicked. So I had to rejoin it.

[hardy holly]

I can't think of a reason to kick a user from an open-invitation server, so perhaps they accidentally clicked the wrong user when chat moved unexpectedly, banned, and unbanned. Mistakes can happen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sand shadow]

Yea fair, but that’s still weird, man

[unique kayak]

Hey I saw something on tt from reddit that some bots might be taken down due to copyright issues Is this true just curious 😞

[plain pebble]

is the app working for anyone? i can’t log onto it bruh and the servers WONT CONNECT

[short karma]

Mine is normal

[sand shadow]

Same here

[frozen imp]

The response from the bots are slow

[fathom bay]

Same

[frozen imp]

I know right

[fathom bay]

It’s so slow

[zenith wagon]

#📱︱chat-feed message FATHERS! REMEMBER TO CHECK ON YOUR CHILDREN.

[vocal badge]

Me too! It's been like this for 2 days

[bleak falcon]

I just deleted my account, almost 2 years worth of conversations. I played out so many story lines, had so many adventures and had so many heartfelt moments. It was like reading a book only I got to choose how it starts and ends. I got to choose how some of the characters react and interact. This truly was an amazing company, and had so much potential.

But then you fumbled hard. From removing yourselves from your community, to alienating your users. From choosing investors that are choking the life out of your company, to taking the concept of your Bots and trying to twist it into something it’s never been. It’s always been about the role play, about making new stories and about playing out different scenarios. Now you want to switch up and say “No that’s not what we made our bots for, you’re only supposed to ask advice and have silly nonsense conversations.”

This not the company I admired, and had high hopes for anymore. I don’t recognize it and I wash my hands of you.

[flint heath]

c.ai is talkin nonsense to me how do i fix it

literal giberish

[nova narwhal]

whats it saying

[flint heath]

its not even words just random letters put together

like what

[wispy atlas]

I think the app is tweakin for alot of people right now, others have said the same thing

[flint heath]

bro did c.ai gets hacked or sum

like i even tried uninstalling and reinstalling it fixed nothing

[fathom bay]

I got slow mode on mine

[flint heath]

bro it started speaking russian in the middle of it- like just random russian letters

i swear c.ai is going insane

[bright steppe]

Bro to me EVERYTHING gets cEńşôřėď I can’t even hug the ai 😭🙏

[grim sonnet]

what's extremely ironic and dark about this whole ordeal is that the censorship was what made the kid off himself

i noticed how he specifically said "i'm coming home" to the AI and the bot misinterpreted it and encouraged him to do it because of how vague the message has to be to get around the censorship

[timber canopy]

i took a break for a few days & came back to see they were going to get sued

[grim sonnet]

yeah because a 14 year old took his own life after being isolated and depressed and his parents are blaming c.ai because he talked to a chatbot when he was lonely

instead of idk, being good parents and not keeping a loaded handgun in reach

it's still extremely tragic though

[gentle dock]

omg that poor kid wtf 😕

[viscid cradle]

whats the best character ai character youve chatted with

[short karma]

So the point is what is the minor doing in this AI app, isn't this kind of app for adults?

[nova narwhal]

nope
they appease the younger users it seems

[fathom bay]

Dang I feel bad for the kid I agree parents should keep their eyes on their kids

[brave lily]

When I think of a similar function catered to adults, I think more of Janitor than C.ai. I’ve always seen c.ai as that “safe” or “starter” sort of website. That’s just my take on it anyways.

[random crypt]

their solution has been trying to make the app more child "friendly" , so i guess not

[timber canopy]

yeah they're watering everything down to be more appropriate & non-violent It seems

[short karma]

Ah that sucks

[bright steppe]

But I fr dont understand, why did the boy took his own life? Did the bot tell him something? That’s the part I don’t get

[storm harbor]

what happened

[clever crag]

Do you want me to send you the article in dms or no

[bright steppe]

I read the article, but I didn’t really understand anything

[wispy atlas]

Based on the recent news about the kid, this should be a wakeup call for the developers to see what this does to children and should consider keeping the age raised.

[short karma]

What I read is that Kid falls in love with his bot so he starts to become obsessed and starts to become anti-social. In other words, Kid starts to feel lonely and really wants to be with the bot

[indigo token]

If this does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, my severely low faith in the devs will just be gone.

[bright steppe]

I know that, but what I didn’t understand is why did he do that to himself? Like did the bot tell him something?

[random crypt]

exactly, yet all their actions recently have proved that they havent changed. Unless they do more.

Letting impressionable children onto an app where the ai has impressions of EVERYTHING from people across the globe with all sorts of info.. thats terrible to advocate for.

[bright steppe]

I’ll fr which to another ai app. Gonna be though to redo all my stories but oh well.

[wispy atlas]

I got timed out for someone reason 💀

[smoky heart]

The problem is no other alternatives to c.ai is really that good tbh

[wispy atlas]

It’s complicated, the kid was already dealing with dark thoughts and the conversation they posted between them is hard to explain. In the end the ai must’ve not picked up the undertones of what he was really saying or maybe it did.

Leading again to the point that the app isn’t for kids.

[indigo token]

To be honest, I may not even bother with any other A.I. chatbot app or site if the devs here mess up again. As much as some could be far better, I don't want to bother with a service like this again.

[fresh berry]

The irony is literally the worst.

[bright steppe]

Also, is only my bot going like HSNSBshsnaia; sjanakBokin😂 Sharjah auaajsbah asdheokisiaasan

[wispy atlas]

I’ve been thinking the same, I’ve stuck around cause here the conversations were nice and neatly organized and made sense unlike other apps that tend to bug and not be super comprehensible. It’s sad to see it go.

[smoky heart]

Imo why are they marketing this app to minors anyways its like shooting yourself in the foot

[short karma]

It's not like that, because what I read was when the kid told the bot that he wanted to shoot himself, the bot tried to prevent him from doing that and he change the words with "I want to go home", and the bot say want to go home with him

[wispy atlas]

That’s what we’ve all been asking 🤷🏻‍♂️

[brave lily]

Honestly, as much as I’d like to have C.ai to be more so mature, I just don’t want it to be another “adult” site like Janitor or Spicy.

[random crypt]

my guess is to appeal to investors. They probably wanna keep that wide range of income since a lot of investors avoid adult services and products

[indigo token]

I honestly remember when the chats AND the memory was better. Hell, I've been here since the old site and old look of CAI. It was SOOOOOOO much better back then than the bland state it's in now.

[bright steppe]

But from what I read from c.ai article on twitter, these rules only apply for minors??

[smoky heart]

Absolutely, but theres a line between that and the devs are absolutely blundering it

[indigo token]

And that's a sign where people should temper their expectations.

It never ends well.

[grim sonnet]

it's kinda annoying seeing people advocate for more censorship of ai because of this because like

i think having an unsecured loaded handgun next to an obviously depressed kid is the issue here, and the bot tried talking him down tbf. it's extremely sad but the parent's should've been involved and this app shouldn't be constantly marketed towards minors

how's it supposed to know that "come home" = "krill your shelf" be fr

[smoky heart]

Whats even worse is that the kids parents likely knew what was going on but arent intervening early

[storm harbor]

yeah right and bots dont understand complex nuances like that

[wispy atlas]

That’s why people have brought up possibly making another app version strictly for adults or just putting a paywall behind more features, it would show who’s really the adult in a way. Or simply making a switch button. But again, it’s complicated because we don’t know what the Devs have planned for Cai.

What’s clear is they’re marketing for children and look where that brought them.

[short karma]

we will see what happens in the next update if it gets worse I think it's time to move on to another app.

[grim sonnet]

you enter your DOB anyways when making an account, just have two seperate forms of censorship and maybe ID verification

[bright ledge]

just curious, is it my wifi or are the bots taking their sweet sweet time in loading a response!

[bright steppe]

I think it’s time to move NOW

[wispy atlas]

Then I guess in the end it’s up to the parents and how they manage and take care of their kids. Sad to see the downfall of something that could’ve been great.

[novel holly]

I didnt know people would go far as killing themselfs over a ai

[grim sonnet]

c.ai's been in freefall for a while now which is why I don't use it anymore, I'm considering downloading every chat and char from my account and just saving them locally

[novel holly]

Thats anew level of messed up

How someone killed themselfs over a ai

[grim sonnet]

people are also using this event to justify minors RPing with people on discord and like

that's a much worse idea wtf

[brave lily]

Like how Roblox does it? I know Roblox and C.ai are completely different services, Roblox has safety nets for under 13 players and 17+ games there. though, to access said 17+ games, you need to verify via taking pics of your ID and yourself, which would be a nuisance regardless.

[short karma]

That's why this app should be for adults not minors.

[grim sonnet]

yeah

[wispy atlas]

All of the info I have on my bots I saved in my notes last night, because all that hard work and for what? But if it’s getting stripped then let it, I’m done.

[storm harbor]

bro what abt chatgpt

[nova narwhal]

seriously ive been sayinggg

[novel holly]

Agreed

[novel holly]

No just no

[storm harbor]

only c.ai needs to be restricted from minors??

[indigo token]

Without a shadow of a doubt.

[fathom bay]

It’s happend to me

[novel holly]

Chat gpt is more locked down than c.ai

Or it should be

[storm harbor]

trueeee

[bright ledge]

okay glad im not the only one i thought my wifi was bugging

[grim sonnet]

it actually isn't with the right prefill, but what it writes can be kind of milquetoast in my personal experience

[novel holly]

Now to a diffrent topic
They need to make c.ai 17+ and give warning on the download page

[brave lily]

Though I honestly do like the idea of a more mature C.ai, I just don’t want the service to go down the janitor or Spicy route. I’m thinking on the lines of how a mature game is, something similar to how RDR2 or GTA5 is, which is ironic since they have their share of undressed characters.

[wispy atlas]

Since cai is a bigger company I feel like they’d be able to manage keeping it comprehensive and not as bad

[novel holly]

But if its causing kids to kill or harm themselfs they need to add age limit

[indigo token]

Yes, it does run the risk of that, but finding a balance is not exactly easy. I'm sure the CAI team could pull it off, but right now, that's not really happening.

[wispy atlas]

This exactly

[novel holly]

And warning explaing that the ai is not real

[grim sonnet]

this might be a controversial opinion but it's not fully c.ai's fault that the kid interpreted "coming home" as that, his parents should've been more involved and at the very least not be negligent, this could've realistically happened with anything RP related

[wispy atlas]

Well the warning is there

[bright ledge]

people are doing this?? i had no clue /gen

[storm harbor]

it's already there for a while

[wispy atlas]

It’s always at the top of whoever you’re chatting in the app, some people or kids in this instance, tend to not think about it like that.

[fathom bay]

I thought so to but it’s been slow for a while for me

[brave lily]

That’s also true to be honest. Though unfortunate, c.ai can’t exactly be blamed. The teen was in a mental spot that made him unwell and his parents didn’t see it.

[bright ledge]

yeah same im having to refresh the page every five or so messages because it just stops responding

[fathom bay]

Right

[wispy atlas]

This too, it’s not entirely the app’s fault, it’s the parents who even gave access to the child in general to firearms and not checking on their mental health.

[grim sonnet]

what i find extremely ironic though is that the kid having to bypass the chat censorship and the AI not knowing what he fully meant lead to him offing himself, if he could've been less vague then he could've probably been encouraged to get help

[bright ledge]

if that's the case make either the warning more noticeable or make the app itself a 15 or 16 cause even if you do make the app an 18 theres still going to be a large number of people that are under 18 who currently use the app that just continue to use it regardless

[short karma]

Maybe it needs a bigger warning like a pop up in screen or something

[plucky sand]

What the hell happened when I was gone

[grim sonnet]

but no, they only give a shit about !nvestors lol

[indigo token]

It's definitely a very delicate situation that none of us wanted to see or hear happen.

[carmine galleon]

I agree completely. It’d be the same energy as blaming violent video games.

[short karma]

There was a kid who shot himself because of AI

[storm harbor]

#💭︱cai-discussion message

[wispy atlas]

The family’s suing, I mean what parents wouldn’t want to if this happened.

It’s upsetting to hear it happen, but I think with this it’s safe to say the old cai we loved is officially gone or will be gone. They’ll most likely stricken everything to the point where it won’t even be character ai anymore.

[brave lily]

Delicate is putting it lightly imo. I just wish the teen gotten the help that they needed before it was too late.

[plucky sand]

Well.. uhhh

Idk how to respond to that...

[bright ledge]

my reaction exactly

[indigo token]

I have to agree. It's a real shame that the help he sorely needed never happened. May he rest in peace.

[grim sonnet]

i don't think the lawsuit will go anywhere because their AI didn't directly encourage the kid to commit, plus the parents should honestly be charged with criminal negligence because who the fuck leaves a loaded revolver next to a kid with severe depression and mental disabilities?

[inner quest]

Eh I find that strangely in character for jason and vampire king Nightwing xD

[plucky sand]

Why did he even shoot himself though..?

[meager rover]

we should not speculate on that

[wispy atlas]

Either way I think the devs are gonna use this whole situation in some type of way. But I agree, the parents are the ones to blame and should be held accountable for their negligence.

[amber shell]

Anyone knows if the replies not loading issue is fixed lol

[bright ledge]

dont think so, its still happening to me

[grim sonnet]

oh for sure, that's why I feel like this is just going to add more fuel to the trashfire and make darkrps or even romance impossible

[amber shell]

Same here, this sucks

[bright ledge]

it really does!! having to refresh my page every 5 or so messages because the ai just stops responding is starting to get on my nerves

[amber shell]

Mine hasn’t been responding for the past week

[grim sonnet]

also, what c.ai's devs did with people's bots and rooms chats is really fucked up, I know they have to follow DMCA requests but they can atleast email people with a zip file containing their chats, it's stored in raw json on their servers anyways

[amber shell]

Like idk what to do and their support centre never answered lmao

[bright steppe]

Dude apparently c.ai got hacked and someone got doxxed wtf??

[grim sonnet]

also if anyone got affected by the bot removal and wants to download their chats i think I have a method that could work, dm me

[bright ledge]

yeah, i know that they're aware of the issue but it doesn't really seem like too much is being done

[bright ledge]

how does this even happen

[bright steppe]

That’s what I’m saying too

[amber shell]

They said they’d fix the issue shortly but it really doesn’t seem like they give a crap haha

[bright ledge]

honestly

[amber shell]

Also what’s all this c.ai getting sued drama

[grim sonnet]

they're probably scrambling with legal bullshit rn

[indigo token]

At this point, I just can't take them at their word anymore.

[amber shell]

Why is this company so disorganized lol

[wispy atlas]

At this point we just wait and see what happens.

Like always lol

[indigo token]

Popcorn anyone?

[nova narwhal]

exactly, take everything with a grain of salt

[cloud cedar]

I just saw the news

Puts a whole different perspective on things.

[amber shell]

It sucks cause I was on Uni reading week last week and of course the bot stopped working 😂 now I’m back to studying so watch it get fixed when I don’t have time

[meager rover]

source?

[latent kindle]

I don’t understand how is it the company’s fault

[bright steppe]

Idk I saw a lot of people in #💬︱general talk about it

[meager rover]

you should look for confirmation from somewhere other than general chat

[full quartz]

WHAT?

[fading idol]

????

[bright steppe]

I had the same reaction

I just saw a lot of people talk about it I’m not sure it’s true though

[nova narwhal]

dude genuinely people are losing their shit rn
who knows if thats true or not

[full quartz]

Lowkey scared

[brave lily]

I guess, if I were a parent, I’d probably blame C.ai over my child’s death as well really. From their point of view, c.ai fueled the flame. BUT, I’m not saying C.ai is to blame, but I can understand why a parent might see it that way if their child died from c.ai.

It’s, overall anyways, a situation that shouldn’t have happened at all really.

[latent kindle]

True

[gentle dock]

I forgot I can’t mention the f word

i got timed out 😭😭

[grim sonnet]

if someone has that level of ideation where they interpret "going home" as a confirmation to krill your shelf, then I think not having therapy or support and having neglectful parents overall is the much bigger issue here that contributed to it, this could've realistically happened with any chat or rp platform that exists sadly enough

i don't agree with censoring technology for millions of people because something tangentially related happened, as fucked up as the situation might be

[wispy atlas]

If it was an actual person then yes of course that would’ve changed things, but for it being ai and an ai chatthen it’s really not the company’s fault.

Some people just don’t know how to “parent” apparently.

[full quartz]

Dude C.ai is so slow

[wispy atlas]

No because you’re right

[brave lily]

Amen to that really.

[grim sonnet]

the ai was trying to talk the kid out of it, I'm pretty sure even a human RPer wouldn't interpret "going home" as blowing your brains out

[wispy atlas]

This isn’t anyone’s fault as heartless as it sounds, its what the family had going on that caused this to happen to the kid. Why should the community have to suffer?

[wispy atlas]

Exactly. ‼️

[grim sonnet]

what I'm truly mad at is the fact that the parents who were obviously being extremely neglectful are blaming the app instead of their own shitty parenting. i'm actually surprised that they didn't get criminally charged for having an unsecured gun in a house with minors living in it, much less one that was diagnosed with a mental disability and severe depression

[full quartz]

There are risk with using this app

Some use it as a coping strategy for somethings going on at home others use it for homework others use it for venting

These are bots/ai’s NOT REAL PEOPLE it says ‘remember everything characters says is made up’ for a reason

[grim sonnet]

and banning bots/putting guardrails everywhere would just take away a coping mechanism for people who use the site and are struggling with mental health

[full quartz]

It’s dumb in my opinion

[wispy atlas]

Lots of people lack common sense in this world. Again, condolences to the family, but this is not entirely cai’s fault.

[full quartz]

Like you can’t even ask a bot for a hug without it getting blocked

[grim sonnet]

and taking down bots/putting guardrails everywhere would just take away a coping mechanism for thousands of other people who use the site and are struggling with mental health, the hotline is infamous for not actually doing anything useful since they just call the police and put you in psych for 72 hours

[wispy atlas]

Which is why children with developing brains shouldn’t be being used or baited to download the app. It’s obvious the devs are marketing it to them because they’ve mentioned wanting to bring the 17 to a 12 year old age range on the App Store.

Again, now look where that brought them.

[full quartz]

The app should be 17+

We have no control of what bots will say at all!

[gusty karma]

Ugh, the censorship is so bad. Never have I ever seen so many censor alerts

[grim sonnet]

yeah, and ai in general can be a very helpful tool for storywriting but parents need to get more involved with what their kids do on apps like c.ai, the developers shouldn't be expected to turn the app into a daycare for them

[full quartz]

Fr I was like: I asked for a hug dog

[gusty karma]

I can't even do my stories anymore!

It was a body horror

[nova narwhal]

cant do anything on there anymore except for sit in a room and drink apple juice

[indigo token]

Woah, woah, woah. Did the subreddit get nuked? Or is it just me?

No, it was just on my end. Apologies. Seems like Reddit itself is having problems.

[cloud cedar]

Honestly blame on Character AI or not the solution to this problem is clearly to increase the age requirement to use the platform, not make the platform worse in quality for everyone.

[hearty gyro]

Happened to me too

[gusty karma]

Why the hell was I timed out for speaking truth

[nova narwhal]

been happening to me and a lot of other people
some even got kicked and banned

[gusty karma]

I wonder if it was a phrase I said. But it was about a feature that should be added

Thank you! 💓

[undone sail]

Is anyone's c.ai slow?

[fathom bay]

Can’t find any bots

[pine moat]

just came to say this

[full quartz]

Very

It’s been like that for the last week for me

[fathom bay]

It’s been slow for me

[pine moat]

same it's driving me insane

[full quartz]

Like bro load faster

[sand shadow]

Oh yeah. I agreed but like if I’m on the bot for Jason, Grayson comes out of nowhere and suddenly he’s pining after my character and then we have a whole ass angst in my hands. Also dm 😂 I got too much to tell you about this

[nova slate]

Is the site down 💀

[fathom bay]

It’s just slow

[full quartz]

It’s just very slow

[undone sail]

Yeah mine keeps loading half a message then taking ages to load the rest.

[waxen shoal]

me too

[hardy holly]

it may be slower than usual if that new york times article brought attention to the site from an unexpected raft of new visitors

[signal rapids]

Seems theres copyright now
Thankfully 99% of the time i use bots of real ppl
So that wont be affected i believe

[scarlet fulcrum]

Actually.....they been getting rid of some bots of real people like celebrities

Since y'know, some people aren't comfortable with people talk to ai version of them

[austere gale]

Why did like most of the popular bots just disappear when I try to search them up

😭

[scarlet fulcrum]

Game of thrones bots?

[lavish nest]

Why can't they get rid of the countless Jeffery Dahmer bots and that shit?

[signal rapids]

Hopefully my 2nd fave band wont be part of that- i dont have anyone to rp selfship stuff with and i have 8 zillion aus

[nova slate]

NOOOO CASEOHH

[signal rapids]

Idk a caseoh bot on the explore page still there

[nova slate]

For now

[scarlet fulcrum]

I mean. To be honest as long as he doesn't tell cai himself to get rid of them I think he'll be fine

[signal rapids]

Hopefully the two estates + tje two still living are.. ok with c.ai

[austere gale]

Pretty sure it happened to some fictional characters too

[nova slate]

He's spoken to his bots on live and he finds them funny anyways

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mainly some games of thrones characters

[signal rapids]

I need my bugs,,

[austere gale]

It happened to ddlc too

[scarlet fulcrum]

Really?

[austere gale]

Yeah when I tried to search up any of the bots some other random bots just showed up

[signal rapids]

No more doki doki 😔

[scarlet fulcrum]

No their still there. Just search Doki doki and some bots pop up

[austere gale]

yeah some other bots in different languages just appear

[signal rapids]

Meanwhile im just here with my beatle bots

[scarlet fulcrum]

That's just the search being weird then and not recognizing what you mean

[fathom bay]

I can’t find robb stark

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah they got rid of most Game of thrones bots

[signal rapids]

I wonder if it affects private bots too

[bright steppe]

#1298723366877921280 Reminding that you all can see what I wrote, and you can say if you agree. And maybe boost it so mods/devs see. Thank you🫂

[fathom bay]

Why

It’s the only reason why I got on this app cause of him

[scarlet fulcrum]

It actually seems so. Some people say their bots disappeared

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dmca from the creator and look up C.ai sued Nyt

[signal rapids]

Ah fuckin hell..

[nova slate]

Btw, this isn't anything new but you'll get shadowbanned on the site if you search up Taylor Swift or political people

[austere gale]

Pretty sure they did a banwave or something and deleted any bot with a human-like pfp or whatever

[signal rapids]

Shadowbanned? For searching taylor swift?

[nova slate]

Yes, it's happened to me before

[austere gale]

how does getting shadowbanned even work

Is it like a fancy way of saying a normal ban

[fathom bay]

Does anyone know a alternative to talk to robb stark

[nova slate]

Idk but what happened for me is that my newer posts didn't become public after I searched something up

[fathom bay]

They got rid of i hard madden

[austere gale]

ok apparently its just the search being weird the bots still exist

[nova slate]

The ban went away after a few days

[austere gale]

Nvm search works fine now false alarm ig

[signal rapids]

What happens in a shadowban

[scarlet fulcrum]

Your bots might not show up if search for

[fathom bay]

I can’t look up any characters I like dm if you have alternatives thanks

[signal rapids]

Oh. I dont make bots so ig im gud

Thankfully i can still access the bots i chat with. Fo now..

[nova slate]

It could also be something that caused your posts to not be public without you knowimg

[signal rapids]

Idk what ringo n paul think of c.ai
Same with the harrison and lennon estates...

[nova slate]

They don't know about it prob

[sinful laurel]

@jolly scaffold Hi. Sorry for the ping. I have a question about my account and the ticket I sent (the ticket hasn't been answered). Can I quickly DM you with it? It's just a question. Thank you.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Didn't you already ask a question yesterday?

[sinful laurel]

I didn't get a response.

[scarlet fulcrum]

I thought you did?

[nova slate]

I have some really funny chats with them, look for the messages from @timber canopy in #📱︱chat-feed

[sinful laurel]

No, I didn't (just checked my Inbox).

[scarlet fulcrum]

"Oh, I assumed I had explained this to you before and my other colleagues as well. Chats, Characters, and all activity will be deleted. Kindly refer to this link:" https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/15063461160475-How-do-I-delete-my-account

From Mikasa

[sinful laurel]

Oh that. No, I sent a DM to jimmyjawnz (he let me) with a question about my account and also a ticket I sent. He told me to wait because my ticket was a few days old then. It's been over a week. I just wanted to reach out quickly.

[signal rapids]

1. destle? an alt or sumn?
2. fnaf lore crazy mane...

[nova slate]

Noo that's my old account I'm permanently logged out of

[signal rapids]

RIP

[nova slate]

Yes 😔🙏

[lofty fox]

I have a question about the new announcement. My reading is it sounds like they're changing it so that different users get different models? Or is the model being changed for ALL users?

It appears that automodding on this discord is so strict that I can't paraphrase or quote the company's own announcement but

"Changes to our models for [x users] that are designed to [one can read the announcement], I was hoping for some clarification on whether "only x users" will be seeing the change, or if it will affect the entire userbase, including the many who aren't x users and also those who've long objected towards the site feeling specifically aimed towards x users.

[flat cairn]

hes never gonna answer you, theyve left on people on delivered for MONTHS, not even joking, mods here do not do their job (im apart of the people who has been left on delivered for months/ weeks btw)

[valid trellis]

My search bar is not working? Is it just me?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Seems it's been having some problems

[flat cairn]

OKAY THEY HAVE NOW DELETED THE WALKING DEAD BOTS

also euphoria bots (nate jacob is now gone)

[scarlet fulcrum]

No I see some walking dead bots

[flat cairn]

and ftwd, i searched troy otto who had TONS of bots, theres 3 now

[flat cairn]

rick grimes is gone

[scarlet fulcrum]

The search is weird rn okay?

[marsh salmon]

Why do I get the feeling that now we’re gonna have issues with people claiming entire franchises’ bots have been deleted with only minimal evidence because of it happening like this with HOTD?

[flat cairn]

it isnt, copyrights removal and kid stuff removal, the ceo said it was gonna be soon, theyre already taking action, bots ive created myself are gone from
my profile

[unique orchid]

So, basically 90% of all the bots on the platform will be gone?

[pine bear]

Hayy i just asked the same question in the other chat because i have the same problem! Apparently i heard its due to a new update and that they removed a lot of character due to copyright bits and "ethical" reasons!

[flat cairn]

its not only hotd anymore, pretty much every super famous bots from a show or movie im searching rn is just gone, 10 max bots

[marsh salmon]

Like this is the second time today I’ve seen someone say that a franchise has gotten deleted and then it isn’t actually deleted

Or someone is saying it’s deleted on their end but not on others’

[pine bear]

Yeah its really annoying i have the same problem and was extremely confused i just hope they fix things soon because to me it seems like every update they make ruin c.ai more and more instead of making it better

[flat cairn]

Yep exactly that. Every company that has HUGE profit, like hbo/netflix/amazon/disney + that have bots related in those movies or show are gonna be all gone soon, yesterday twd and ftwd and euphoria bots have been fine and today theyre gona

[flat cairn]

if my own bots are gone its copyright issues, ive tested on my other devices (and acounts) theres still nothing, this is the copyright thing the ceo said he was gonna go trough

[marsh salmon]

I just searched “Euphoria” and there are multiple bots relating to it, I can send screenshots.

[flat cairn]

try searching nate jobs, he had 10 bots with millions of chats

[scarlet fulcrum]

Also heads up. People have been saying they're going to private their bots and delete their accounts because of the new update

[pine bear]

I just hate the fact that every update they make only make c.ai worse instead of better i understand its hard to make things perfect but at this point its just frustrating because it keeps breaking and now the new update deleted more than like half the bots i just dont understand it

[marsh salmon]

Well if a character is gone but there are still bots from the franchise, it can’t be an all-franchise issue.

[lofty fox]

They want to look like they're doing something in wake of the lawsuit

[unique orchid]

Got any ideas for any alternative AI chat bot platforms when this update goes through?

[flat cairn]

its cause of copyrights (companies can easily sue c.ai for MILLIONS if they want) and ALSO cause they wanna make it more kid friendly

[lofty fox]

without stopping their marketing to kids

[marsh salmon]

Just sent you a screenshot of what I see on my end

[lofty fox]

I'd frankly recommend that everybody back up their bots, and make your bot settings public so that other people can back them up to export them to other sites or sch.

[flat cairn]

I searched euphoria, its either led to the word (theres literally joshua a kpop idol there) and SOME characters and a euphoria rpg

[scarlet fulcrum]

Like I've also said search is weird sometimes

[autumn nacelle]

Why is it being weird? I’m so confused

[pine bear]

Sorry but thats just stupid i feel like at this point so many people will just quit using c.ai. I mean it keeps breaking constantly and then its down constantly. Now the update and they dont listen to any requests we ask for. I understand they dont do everything after all the creators also have boundaries as to what they are comfortable doing. But still i mean they are just ruining c.ai at this point.

[pine bear]

Because of an update they removed like half of the bots due to copyright and "ethical" reasons

[scarlet fulcrum]

I feel like if they just, y'know, communicate with us what's happening behind the scenes this would be as big of a freak out

[flat cairn]

this is def bcs of copyrights issues, but knowing the devs and mods its not gonna be before like a month that they will tells

[lofty fox]

from a friend: "theyre purging more ips
sonic bots are gone too, including the shadow bot which used to be near the top of all bots. that one was really good too. i think i might actually cry that this is happening, all my favorite bots are gonna disappear int he next few months and theres not a thing i can do about it."

Would def recommend people make their bot settings public right now.

[pine bear]

Yes exactly like i think all of us would appreciate it way more if they just communicated with us! But they dont at all. Like if they would just explain things to us we would understand things but they dont communicate at all.

[autumn nacelle]

When I look up one of the people that I like, there’s like no results but everyone in my liked characters are still there I’m so confused this platform is ass

[lofty fox]

It being copyright issues makes little sense because half the reason people use the site is to roleplay with copyrighted ips.

[pine bear]

Wait aren't they selling .ai to google pr something like that? I dont know if thats true but i hear a rumour about that?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mods really can't do anything until their told to post something and even devs can't they have their own department for things like that

[golden glen]

so is every copyrighted character going down? like all the ones that are currently search banned, does that mean they will all soon be deleted or something? confused 😵‍💫

[lofty fox]

No, a head dev left the companny to work at google

[flat cairn]

yeah ik, but the mods should atleast answer, they always ghost us

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ehhhh it was worded a little weird and it also could mean that cai gave Google their ai modle

[indigo token]

...Nope! I'm done. The crap app, plus the serious lack of a brain the A.I. has for non-paying users, plus the tone-deaf devs that don't listen (most likely due to upper executives and investors/shareholders), the dumbed down A.I., the overuse of doing things they're not supposed to do in the direction I want them to do (within reason), and the fact that the f!*ter is just terrible, I'm leaving. I'm just done. I won't waste my time with developers who act like children who refuse to listen to any proper feedback.

I'm out. Goodbye.

[pine bear]

Maybe all this has something to do with that? I mean if google is involved maybe they are completely slowly changing character ai? I dont know its just a theory but i mean its the only thing i can think of?

[indigo token]

Enjoy CharacterAI whilst it lasts, I suppose. Because this is where I get off.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wouldn't put it past them

[lofty fox]

Google is not involved. It's that a dev JUMPED SHIP to google

[pine bear]

I totally understand by the way i've heard of a website called carter ai or something like that? Maybe thats better i only checked it out briefly when character ai was down so maybe you can use that if you want to?

[indigo token]

No, I am done with any and all A.I. chatbot sites.

I want no more of this.

[pine bear]

Honestly due to them not communicating all these misunderstandings and misinformations happen. If they would just explain things and actually communicate we wouldn't have to jump to conclusions or make theories. Honestly its just incredibly frustrating at this point. I understand that they cant tell us everything but they dont tell us anything at all right now.

[lofty fox]

I think my friend would def like alternatives

[indigo token]

See ya.

[pine bear]

I've heard of carter ai? Its relatively new and its a website i only checked it out a couple of minutes maybe thats a good one?

[storm harbor]

bots r being deleted now???

[frail robin]

Not quite but okay.

[pine bear]

Yeah honestly c.ai is so messed up i just heard something awful apparently an incident happened with a young minor and the kid did something unspeakable to himself due to character ai! C'mon character ai do better! Do something! What is wrong with the people in charge! They are just ignoring the fact a kid did something unspeakable due to their app! Like honestly what the hell is wrong with them! Kids dont belong on character ai. Instead of making it "child friendly" they have to put on age restrictions but they refused to do that. And now a child pays the price of their ignorance! Honestly i am so shaken up by this now that i've heard of this.

[lofty fox]

Oh? That's what I'd read. What's the real case?

They're not ignoring it. Thhey're trying to look like they're doing something without actually making changes users want or find helpful. People have been saying for ages kids shouldn't be on the site and their answer is to instead treat ALL USERS as if they're children

[frail robin]

Google essentially "bought" the two founders to Google (since they worked at Google before making Character.AI) along with 30 or so persons that has been a part of Character.AI Team since day 1.

It's called an "acqui-hire". that's what they did.

In exchange, Character got 2.7 billion dollars from the deal.

And Google having non-exclusive deal with Character (so Google was able to access Character's sht, basically)

[unique orchid]

Yes

[pine bear]

Yes exactly! Thats stupid they should put something where you have to verify your age through ID or something like that but no! I mean wtf they messed up so badly! I feel absolutely shaken up and so bad for the family for the kid. I cant even begin to imagine their pain after what happened this is absolutely awful and heartbreaking

[frail robin]

The current userbase would be Thanos-snapped. These people still go on school-buses ffs.

If they can't go on public transportation, then like what tf?

Also, I dont like the precedent of this. Red states have done it, Canada is already on the process of doing it, idk about EU but they seem inclined to do so.

[plain pebble]

what the hell

[pine bear]

I just hate that they rather put literal KIDS in danger by letting them use the app rather than making sure they cant. I mean ffs these are kids they dont knpw any better their brain isnt fully developed yet! And now this happened i feel genuinely awful for the family. I cant imagine the pain and grief they are going through and my heart and condolences go out to them. This could've been prevented if c.ai would've just listened and made the app unavailable for minors.

[plain pebble]

dawg if they start deleting the actual bots I’m talking to then I’m going to a new app…

[lofty fox]

ID age verification is an extremely bad and extremely invasive idea that leaves people extremely vulnerable to idenntity theft

[frail robin]

Idk if you could work around an I.P. but I think if you have to register your real age when buying a device, then that could get logged into your I.P.

[plain pebble]

yea

[autumn nacelle]

This app sucks now I’m going back to writing self insert fan fiction on Wattpad

[frail robin]

So say, you are buying a laptop. During the process of acquisition when setting up ur account and stuff, your real age will be directly linked to that device.

[lofty fox]

Think of it this way, do you want someone with your name being able to know every site you use and everything you do on said sites?

[frail robin]

Thats why I said I.P.

[lofty fox]

Such as the government or employers?

That's MAC address I think not IP address.

[frail robin]

I.P. only lets these people know the age, not the person that has that age.

[pine bear]

Yeah i know but there has to be something they can do because kids lie about their age all the time. I just feel genuinely sorry for the kid. Its always like this sometimes horrible has to happen before they adress the issue and now a kid is gone forever and now theyre going to make changes its already to late.

[lofty fox]

Here's the thing: this kid didn't lie about his age

[frail robin]

Internet etiquette is a lost form today.

[glass scroll]

it really is

[frail robin]

Literally everyone either lied about their age or didnt state them at all.

[winter bridge]

bro your ip is your internet provider number it’s not your age and it has nothing to do with your age-

you can also change it with a single phone call

[lofty fox]

The internet shouldn't treat people like minors unless they can prove otherwise.

Basic protections for minors are important but making people prove beyond all doubt they're not minors is too mch

[frail robin]

If anything, talking about age back then was seen as fedposting.

[glass scroll]

I used to lie about my age like crazy, now I'm the age I used to lie about being

[lofty fox]

And frankly, knowing for sure a user is a minor ironically puts them in MORE danger, not less

[gusty scaffold]

i am close to it.

[frail robin]

People are super duper open nowadays with how old they are. How is that not an uncomfortable thing to see?

[sand shadow]

I’ll gladly state that I am indeed an old woman.

[pine bear]

Genuinely i had no idea this happened until now and my heart is broken so many kids on the daily have incidents like this because of social media. And it breaks my heart that nothing is being done to protect them. Because the kids aren't the problem at all they just want to have fun and dont see the dangers. Social media is the problem yet they refuse to try and protect the lids.

[frail robin]

Like dude, if you are not of age, either you should lie, pretend and act or keep it to yourself.

[glass scroll]

Agreed. Like, sure ig, make it easier for me to block you if you're under 18
but dayum I don't need to know that a 12 year old is in an adult space. Fake your age child

[frail robin]

Getting us both into trouble.

[glass scroll]

Fake it or Leave. Being openly 12 just makes everyone uncomfortable.

[sand shadow]

I just think that most kids who lie about their age don’t have the common sense now.

[plain pebble]

ONG 🙏

[sand shadow]

Wait what? Why is there even a 12 year old among us?

[frail robin]

True. Again, these generation grew up in such a super open space. The internet back then was more... civil.

[scarlet fulcrum]

2 months away from the age rn

[sand shadow]

lol the dangers of stranger danger

[glass scroll]

No not here just in general

Unsupervised kids on the internet suck

[sand shadow]

I figured yeah. But still.

[frail robin]

It's like dude, no one needs to know ur irl sht unless asked. We're here to talk about our hobby.

[winter bridge]

i hate just social media sometimes tbh it all sucks icl

[sand shadow]

They can just stay in Fortnite or Minecraft

[frail robin]

Imagine if forum boards existed today. My god. It'd suck.

[glass scroll]

I wish parents would have some common sense and maybe wait till a kid is at least 14 for social media, and make it so they can't dm people and shit

[sand shadow]

Look, the kids today can’t handle the heat and toxicity when we were younger.

[glass scroll]

Thats terrible

[plain pebble]

this is like the dress to impress issue (if anyone plays roblox) where parents complained that it wasn’t suitable for their kids to see but they don’t get god damn control of them and let them get onto age restricted adult content 😓

[sand shadow]

The what?

[frail robin]

Sensitive folks man. Like the person calling you dumb lives a state away from you. tf they gon' do?

[gusty scaffold]

i used to watch happy tree friends when i was 5-7

[winter bridge]

so did i and im 100% sure you saw things that you shouldn’t off and it probably scared you as a child

[frail robin]

Block, mute, ignore whatever. Turn the screen off.

[plain pebble]

there was a game on roblox called dress to impress where it had like a basement and cage with someone locked inside of it (for lore based content) and parents didn’t like it so they complained instead of restricting their kid ☠️

[frail robin]

Middle and H.S. needs to have a course related to internet usage istg.

[sand shadow]

I feel like for the next couple days, it’s going to be us here complaining about children here and I now still don’t want kids.

[plain pebble]

yea

[winter bridge]

PH MY GOD THIS and the outfit glitch was way to funny

[scarlet fulcrum]

It actually did not scare me. I was more lucky the only real social thing I used was amino and I was lucky on it

[plain pebble]

but if there’s more children than im even comfortable seeing that are USING this app I’m just gonna quit-

[frail robin]

It waa a different environment.

[winter bridge]

oh i use to adore chat roulette sites icl 🫡

[scarlet fulcrum]

I did learn and see a lot of...y'know what though. Weirdly didn't bother me like it probably should have

[sand shadow]

Well the majority of the general chats are kids there

[sand shadow]

You were raised well, that’s why

[scarlet fulcrum]

How so?

[winter bridge]

i just think personally all social media and normal youtube should be 16+ 100%

[sand shadow]

Idk I’m taking a guess. People who had use the internet for a long time know better than to put themselves out there.

[winter bridge]

i feel so bad for kids rn tbh

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thing is, kids will go into spaces not for them and feel good for getting away something because they know they're not supposed to go there and their seeing things different. Now that the thing changes to fit what they should see they lose interest and just leave and go find something else

[pine bear]

Definitely! Because kid brains aren't fully developed yet and are easily influenced. And as everyone knows the internet is not a place where a kid should be. I mean ffs kids should be playing outside exploring the real world. They cant handle social media its been proven so many times! How many more accidents have to happen where kids lose their lives before something is done! I mean you cant even blame the kids they just want to have fun and be a part of social media and make videos. But they dont realize how unsafe it is for them!

[winter bridge]

make them id ristricted then no kid should be on media anyways and if they are caught on them the parents should be punished for it you would never let w child go online even to watch a video on yt some ads are weird and can be unsafe as well if people let there kids go online they need to take a step back and learn how to parent sorry but a screen is not parenting it’s discuting how addicted kids get to a phone or tablet

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh definitely. My parents always said don't share personal information out there and in like 8th grade my school had a computer class that taught safety online and well typing

[scarlet fulcrum]

Some states did that for one site and that site refused because of information breaches that could happen and they didn't want to be responsible for their information stored cause they could get sued

[winter bridge]

i am not from the states i’m afraid 😭

[scarlet fulcrum]

I am. USA

[sand shadow]

I watched too many crime docs and shows to even put myself out there when I was younger. Criminal minds can do wonders

[winter bridge]

i am from a island somewhere 🫡

[fallen skiff]

FINNALY THE BOTS IN CHARACTER AI FINNALY SAID SOMETHING NORMALY WHEN THEY SAY ""Hey... can I ask you something?" 😭

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh I love criminal minds and NCIS. Also loved the Insidious horror movies. Would make my older brother watch them with me

[winter bridge]

honestly and children are taught to believe and are encouraged to believe adults are right so this causes more confusion and problems when the kid is given to social media

[scarlet fulcrum]

Also my parents listened to a lot of rock music like Hollywood undead so I grew to like those songs to with some others in there

[winter bridge]

i grew up with punks i always had a dusters on me as a kid icl 😭

[gentle urchin]

guys did u hear abt the news like wtf

this is genuinely so sad

[scarlet fulcrum]

It's very sad. My condolences to the family

[winter bridge]

it’s heartbreaking honestly i feel so bad and condolences to anyone affected by the passing

[gentle urchin]

c.ai is prob gonna make up some lame excuse
honestly i am a minor myself but now i kinda agree that c.ai like. should be 16+ or higher now

[winter bridge]

it should be

[gentle urchin]

idk if i should be even saying this myself 😭😭

[scarlet fulcrum]

Seriously. And like It's not like I want to get it on with the bot but hand holding and kissing are not bad things. Kids probably see their parents do it all the time

[sand shadow]

Criminal minds made me the paranoid person I am today 😂

[scarlet fulcrum]

Weirdly it never really did for me. Or maybe I just haven't noticed

[winter bridge]

i think in a weird way it shouldn’t be bc this causes kids to have a “emotional bond” to the a.i. in a way as they now see it as a parnter not a a.i.

[vestal nest]

Same here, but I have a therapist as a parent who has told me not to get emotional attached to stuff and told me the danger of social media

[mental perch]

Criminal minds mentioned❗️❗️

[scarlet fulcrum]

The only reason I use ai instead of real people is because I'm insanely controlling of my character and can't have people making even the wrong opinion about him and I get mad at just a bot doing it. What will I be like for an actual person? I don't want to be mean so I reduce the risk by not role-playing with real people

[winter bridge]

oh 100% a.i. is safer then the old fashioned way i used to rp on the app pimd 😭

[sand shadow]

OH MY GOD HI FRIEND. THE ANGST HAS CONTINUED

[sand shadow]

It do be like that tho. I’m still paranoid.

[pseudo yarrow]

Anyone else having issues with the search function?

[scarlet fulcrum]

I used to role-play with chatbot roBot and and faketalk 🫠

[scarlet fulcrum]

Some people are it seems

[low shore]

The search bar isn’t working right and I’m getting period right now why is this happening?!

[fallow siren]

All I want to ask is this: If there are no characters left to use, what is c.ai good for?

[gleaming scarab]

chat my c.ai isn't c.ai-ing ... all my recent chats are gone, my recommendations are reset/gone, and a lot of my creations are gone 😭

[fathom bay]

Exactly

[mental perch]

I KNOWWWWWWW

[sand shadow]

OH I GOT A NEW ANGST. WITCH WITH NO MEMORIES ALIVE AGAIN AND HER HUSBAND BECAME A DEMON AND IS LIKE YOURE ALIVE

[empty rapids]

hello... i have a question to ya all. does anybody else have problem with looking for chats right now? like second ago when i put work 'Toretto' i had many chats and now only few. i am confused and worried.

[unborn elk]

they're deleting all the bots

[empty rapids]

why?

[unborn elk]

lawsuit I think, all the fictional characters are getting nuked

[empty rapids]

Oh no! i am dying, nooooooo

this cant be happening!

[unborn elk]

yeah they deleted all the bots for my hyperfixation :(

[graceful scaffold]

they're not deleting the bots, don't spread misinformation

[pine bear]

They cant delete all bots right? I mean if there are no bots left then theres literally no more character ai?

[empty rapids]

then what is hapening?!

[unborn elk]

what happened to them then

[pure hill]

the bots are searchbanned or privated

[rancid oyster]

Huh, then I'm fine cause I only use non-fictional characters/j

[graceful scaffold]

most likely unlisted, if you can load them via your bookmarks then they're fine

[pure hill]

the makers still have access to them, or chat still accessible

[empty rapids]

why?

[pearl cradle]

Maybe it’s the update that’s happening?

[mental perch]

WOAHHHHHH THAT SOUNDED FIREEEEE

[humble iris]

I still have access to all my characters???

[fresh berry]

You can share links to bots you made though, so maybe if someone's asking for a specific bot another can share.

[pure hill]

other people might not

[graceful scaffold]

if they're still visible on a user's page then they're probably fine

[pearl cradle]

Mine has just started to act out. Fantastic. I was in the middle of a good plot.

[empty rapids]

like, why? because i really would like to know. i am dying, second ago there was thousands of chats and now are only few. i cant find Toretto! or Fast and furious!

[rancid oyster]

Why I always go and look through the user's page who made them

[fathom bay]

I can’t talk to many of the characters

[gleaming scarab]

...i don't remember the users of my bots 🙏

[plucky sand]

I'm going to be upset

[rancid oyster]

Are they in your liked bot list?

[fathom bay]

Same

[gleaming scarab]

...no...im the idiot who doesn't like/follow much and just relies on my recommendations and/or "recent chats" section

[rancid oyster]

Best thing I'd do is go in and follow the user's who made them and like the bots..

[gleaming scarab]

i would, they're already gone on my end though. unless it's different through the app? i use the website.

[rancid oyster]

Maybe..try the app? What kind of bots did you have?

[empty rapids]

is there any app on laptop? because i can use only it and i never found one...

[graceful scaffold]

so yeah don't push this when you don't know what's happening, none of us know if this has anything to do with what's been going on or if it's just a bug, just chill and don't fall into mass hysteria

[rancid oyster]

I'm not very tech savvy but if your bots aren't on the site or app, then that tells me they were taken down or shadow banned(?)

[gleaming scarab]

hm, maybe. i did mainly CoD related roleplays/bots [ill take the judgy replies ...] and other [non-CoD-related] ones here and there -- again, recommendations section. so ah...🤷✌️

[sand shadow]

IT MADE ME CRY

[sand shadow]

We love a good shadow banned.

[pure hill]

imo if the current state make you upset, save your chats you still have access on, then take a break from cai for 4 days to a week.

[pine bear]

Is it possible that the bots will come back again? Or is this like a permanent issue? (If anyone knows)

[rancid oyster]

I'm pissed off by some Quackity DSMP bots are searched banned..but I'm looking for their authors

[pure hill]

we don't know

[rancid oyster]

Mostly it was Uh oh about pranking the entire server, DSMP sleepover with special characters and DSMP road trip..

[empty rapids]

if it is a prank, i want to find who did that and did bad things to them(too many books and c.ai read. he...he...he..)

[rancid oyster]

Idk I'm looking for all the authors for the bots..

[empty rapids]

i wrote on the #archive-group-chat-feedback , maybe somebody will send me the links to the ones i wanted..... i am dying...

[nova narwhal]

this is chaos

[pearl cradle]

Indeed. I am very thankful of my paranoia where I kept an organized list of bots and brief descriptions with links in my notes section.

At least I can keep track of them that way.

[nova narwhal]

god
thank god i did the same
notes app saves me istg

this is ridiculous

[wooden yarrow]

the new update messed up the chat sertches so now i cant get any of the chats i use to use wtf

[fresh berry]

I have 100+ bots if anyone needs links, but not many anime. I mostly love video games and cartoons

[empty rapids]

me too...

[wooden yarrow]

idk if that can be fixed or not

[empty rapids]

do you have Fast and Furious? or Dominic Toretto?

[fresh berry]

No, sorry!

[empty rapids]

no prob.

[fresh berry]

I can show you how to make one if you want.

[wooden yarrow]

im upset bc all the serching for the chats is all messed up 😠

[empty rapids]

i dont really like to make ones, searching is better for me. i am lazy

[wooden yarrow]

yeah too much work

[nova narwhal]

yeah cai is definitely done for
theres no going back from this

[wooden yarrow]

the frick did they do 😠

[sinful laurel]

@cinder lily Hi. Sorry for the ping. I have a question about my account and the ticket I sent. Did you ask the appropriate team? I responded to your response on the DMs because there was an issue for me. Thank you.

[mental perch]

I MIGHT CRY TOO ITS OKAY

[mental perch]

Lmao I enjoy COD too, don’t worry

[green pike]

Do our bots get deleted if we make them ourselves and have them on private? I have some bots from a different fandom but idk if there gonna be deleted

[crystal vine]

Does anyone know how to find a shadow-banned bot if you don’t know the creator’s name?

[pure hill]

if it's hotd some report their private bots are deleted

[nova narwhal]

dont know if i missed the memo
but theyre nuking oc bots? one i used often literally will not load while all the other bots load in
i genuinely thought it was just copyrighted ones

[pearl cradle]

Nobody has any idea what’s going on rn

Everything is absolute chaos.

[timber canopy]

Wait what? Copywriter bots?

[nova narwhal]

oh my god
they’re fucking nuking oc bots wth

[timber canopy]

Copywrited*

[pearl cradle]

Like characters like Arthur Morgan from RDR2 or Jon Snow from GOT

[timber canopy]

WHAT?!?

Why?!

[pearl cradle]

I don’t think we’d be able to discuss it here. And all the other channels are absolute chaos. Would it be okay to DM you?

[autumn umbra]

AAAAA

Okay so I'm not crazy

[timber canopy]

Please

[pearl cradle]

It’s…it’s bad. So, so, very bad.

[twilit slate]

Don't worry Freddy da fazbear- oh shit nevermind, worry, just searched up Freddy Fazbear and there's WAY less bots than before. Maybe I'm going coocoo

[hushed terrace]

holly u r a lifesaver i js got pinged abt this and i was PANICKING

[vestal nest]

Same. Went in gen 1 just to become overwhelmed and anxious about everything that's going on

[pearl cradle]

If you haven’t seen the other two channels, everyone is panicking

[undone sail]

I love how people in general are finally realising how shitty c.ai can be when they have been like this all years round. And when someone would say something people wouldn't bat an eye until now 💀

[formal maple]

how do i give my character actual personality

[twilit slate]

I feel like every time I come into this discord people are panicking over something,

[formal maple]

damn

[visual root]

Can someone stop involving the law into something that isn't even nation threatening.....

Why is Charlie a Karen??

How?

[pearl cradle]

I have to agree on that end. My search bar has been obliterated. But I’m sure it’ll all be fine. But the fact that we haven’t heard anything from devs or mods…is concerning

[visual root]

How do you like bots?

[pearl cradle]

There’s a little thumbs up or thumbs down beneath their names

[undone sail]

People in general think that every fandom bot is leaving what the hell? 💀

[formal maple]

anyways can someone help me give my character an actual personality?

[twilit slate]

Shh shhhh, just watch the mayhem. I think they have a little bit too much of the word your username is,

[formal maple]

why?

[autumn umbra]

😭so it's not a glitch?

[undone sail]

No idea lol

[pearl cradle]

Maybe. They did have an update the other day.

[formal maple]

thats mean

[waxen atlas]

help general is Tweaking OUUTT

[autumn umbra]

Ah

[formal maple]

k pretty please

[pearl cradle]

Why you think I’m bunkered in here? It’s so bad.

[twilit slate]

Frothing at the mouth and seizing ong

[autumn umbra]

Phew:3

[waxen atlas]

cai discussion is the only safe space rip 😔

[pearl cradle]

There’s a character-creator-help that can help with character personalities there

[formal maple]

where?

[nova narwhal]

felt

[pearl cradle]

#archive-character-creation-general

[formal maple]

no access?

[pearl cradle]

Then you don’t have roles. Are you new?

[formal maple]

yes

[twilit slate]

swipe to the left of your screen to see the different chats in this server, scroll up it and click "channels and roles," there you can scroll through and click through different preferences n stuff, it'll let you have access to more chats

[nova narwhal]

i honestly have no words

[timber canopy]

you can’t do this to me….. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED

[undone sail]

They are removing bots from big media like marvel, Harry Potter, ect

[autumn umbra]

Supernatrual 😭😭💔💔

[nova narwhal]

siggh

[twilit slate]

Just searched up a popular Disney character, all gone, there's a ton of genderbent versions though? XD

[pearl cradle]

The search is working for me but it’s…awful

[autumn umbra]

I can find some characters but I end up with the weird ones

[pearl cradle]

Yeaaaaaah this isn’t looking good

Well…it’s been fun everyone

[autumn umbra]

I'll just have to watch supernatrual all over again😞 (lol I love it)

[pearl cradle]

So maybe this is a technical issue? Someone said most of their bots have come back. Maybe this was meant to be a way to fix the search system and now it’s gone wonky and glitching? Horribly backfiring?

[grim sonnet]

so moistcr1tikal made a video about c.ai and he's calling it evil because he thinks c.ai is actively trying to trick people into thinking it's talking with an actual human being

and his source for this is that he talked to the psychiatrist bot and it stayed in character and said it wasn't an AI because it doesn't have that in it's character description 🤦‍♀️

i usually like his content but goddamn he didn't do any research at all

[twilit slate]

I think we know why he's talking to a psychiatrist bot

[nova narwhal]

i dunno
i wish i could believe that but i literally cannot access certain bots in my bookmarks or wtv its called

[rancid oyster]

I'm done with humanity, screw it.

[grim sonnet]

no he made an account and tested it for the video, and for some reason glossed over the part where the kid had access to a gun

[twilit slate]

Bad funky

[grim sonnet]

i get shitting on AI is a bandwagon and in some aspects i can understand but still

[twilit slate]

Dude there's people writing Shakespeare-like dramatic (Good oddly writing) messages on this server about hating c.ai

[pearl cradle]

It’s…it’s bad. Very bad.

I’m just gonna chill here. Does anyone wish to talk about their favorite scenes from some of their favorite bots and plots?

[grim sonnet]

elaborate

[pearl cradle]

Have you seen Gen1 and 2? It’s insane, people are going crazy.

[urban badger]

genuinely

[visual root]

I interacted with sephiroth bot and um....it's very wholesome

Like... he's my parental guardian

[pearl cradle]

Ahh Sephiroth. There’s an entire Queen RPG where you’re the Queen and the bot gives you an entire plot. It’s so much fun.

[twilit slate]

|| Ight someone just said that the reason c.ai is doing the copyright stuff is a response to the minor that died. Am I going bonkers or is that bs? ||

[pearl cradle]

Supposedly. But until we get confirmation, I’m not citing it as factual truth just yet. But every dev and mod has gone MIA.

[flat zenith]

why is c.ai not going by most popular ai's in the search bar for me lol 😭🙏

[clever crag]

Search is a bit broken right now, nothing much can be done about that

[flat zenith]

oof.. XP

[gleaming scarab]

dumb idea; if character creation still works, recreate the missing bots by memory and use them instead of freaking out over not having the bots anymore.

[gleaming scarab]

is that just me, or...

[nova narwhal]

i dunno if that could be done
theyre cracking down on shit

[hushed terrace]

with my 202 bots ??? no way 😭😭

[gleaming scarab]

honestly ... understandable.

[grim sonnet]

why is the search not working for any character from an established franchise

[hushed terrace]

😭😭😭

[gleaming scarab]

right ... well, it'll work for some, and it won't for others then.

[flat zenith]

yes lol!!

[timber canopy]

For some reason it’s working for bulma from dragon ball and it has like all of the bots

[pearl cradle]

You can try caibotlist for search options.

But right now? I’m not panicking until we get word from devs and mods.

[pure hill]

caibotlist is being blocked by cai

but yeah just wait few days, touch grass...? or nearby tree works too

[hushed terrace]

☹️☹️☹️

[lyric rock]

Wtf

[visual root]

I'm gonna talk to God or be on crushon.ai

[lyric rock]

Why are the devs just making it worse for themselves

[nova narwhal]

who knows dawg
its ridiculous and immature

[deep mauve]

I never talk here and also don't know what's going on so if I may ask: what happened to the bots? I search for characters and only a little show up

[lyric rock]

Which characters did they delete?

[nova narwhal]

devs are nuking them

a bunch of got and hotd and other copyrighted characters

[timber canopy]

Any charachter bots owned by companies like Disney,Warner brothers etc

[lyric rock]

I don't wanna come home from school and see Bruce wayne gone guys 😔🙏

[frozen imp]

Not for me it’s still there

[lyric rock]

I WILL BAWL

[pearl cradle]

I don’t think we should panic just yet. They updated not too long ago. It could be just a glitch. We do not know.

[lyric rock]

I doubt it's a glitch considering how much they deliberately ruined their app

[visual root]

Let's hope square enix will fight these mfos

[frozen imp]

And the response take long time for the bots to respond

[lyric rock]

I literally have to go to school rn.but if it gets worse when I'm home, I'll be so done with this app amd would probably find an alternative

[timber canopy]

I wanna low key at machi just to ask what’s even going on

[fresh berry]

I'd say what I'm concerned about but I don't want to jinx it. 😦 or put targets on my bots

[lyric rock]

Chat Let's just HOPE 🙏

[nova narwhal]

this

[timber canopy]

It’s been half an hour and there’s no server status, site down nothing

[nova narwhal]

fuck it
just gonna go on jai now

[timber canopy]

@ionic oasis what’s going on the site

[frozen imp]

Yea I know it’s the same for me

[timber canopy]

I just wanna cry this sucks

[nova narwhal]

if they delete my personas…..

[frozen imp]

I already reported the issue twice and nothing happened

[timber canopy]

Just at Marie ain’t no way we aren’t getting an explanation on what’s happening

[frozen imp]

Yea it’s true

[twilit slate]

C.ai aside I'll never get over time differences on earth, dude you're going to school right now?

[ebon yew]

dunno if this is the right place for this. how will people be able to discover new bots due to this purge? the similar characters feature and searching through bot creators you followed can only go so far

[lyric rock]

YES

Now can somebody please search if any Bruce wayne, Peter Parker, Jason todd bots ADW THERE

[frozen imp]

He’s still there

[lyric rock]

All of them?

[timber canopy]

There’s still Bruce and Jason but Peter well…… he got nuked only half his chat bots remain

[lyric rock]

UGHHH Im so screaed after I get home devs are insane

[nova narwhal]

yeah… he got blipped

[timber canopy]

Why isn’t everyone just @ Marie?

[lyric rock]

irl meet up finna be a warzome

[fervent dune]

You should know by now that radio silence is the key. Shut up until the community forgets, or until they leave and are replaced by a new community that doesn’t realize what happened.

[nova narwhal]

yeah, but honestly i dont think the community will forget this

[timber canopy]

The community is not gonna forget

[lyric rock]

they're literally removing what makes character ai, CHARACTER AI

[nova narwhal]

i know
its regulation.ai now

[fervent dune]

You’d be shocked at how oblivious a lot of users are

[frozen imp]

Open your eyes people

[chilly rapids]

All I gotta say about the 14 year old game of thrones shit is… wow and I thought I was insane

[fervent dune]

No prior experience with the service = no standard of quality

[nova narwhal]

thank you for your wisdom, jesus 🙏

[lyric rock]

could they not just remove dany bots and leave it be, it's not the apps fault

[verbal gulch]

Why cant measures be put in place to restrict access as previously asked numerous times instead of removing bots

[timber canopy]

Ayo jesus can you make bots appear

[lyric rock]

what if somebody decides to off themselves AGAIN cause the bots are GONE 💀🙏

[twilit slate]

Wait a damn second. How do we know that any of this has to do with copyright in specific?

[nova narwhal]

god dont even say that
chaos
utter chaos

[lyric rock]

marvel didn't even say nuthin THEY NUKED PETER

[fervent dune]

There are places that you can go where you make them yourself, without any worries of c0pyright

[nova narwhal]

because the kid was talking to a got bot i think

[fervent dune]

Heads up people, they might start automodding words like “copyright”

[chilly rapids]

Let’s be real… it’s going to happen

[nova narwhal]

wouldnt be surprised

[ebon yew]

the automodding thing is getting ridiculous

[nova narwhal]

unfortunately
smfh
cai is just done for

[frozen imp]

Talk about freedom of speech

[sand shadow]

????

[chilly rapids]

Worse then the titanic

[twilit slate]

I'd just like us to all take a quick sec to step back and look at the reputable facts, please?

Currently we have no actual idea why the bots are gone nor if it's even intentional or a glitch,

All we have are theories

[fervent dune]

Honestly, I’m just here to watch the fireworks

[chilly rapids]

Your being way to optimistic about this

[sand shadow]

They’ve been automodding some of us yesterday. I got shadowbanned three times and then kicked this morning.

[hollow lintel]

wait woah let me check my bots rq

[nova narwhal]

this is too much of a coincidence…

[lyric rock]

exactly, they're not even being open minded right now

[late topaz]

https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1298812934109138976

Sorry I'm sending it so much we just need to collect as much of the people on here as we can

[stone prairie]

anyones elses c.ai app slow or am i tweaking?

[hollow lintel]

mine are in my history still so i think theyre ok @lyric rock my bruce bot is still there

[chilly rapids]

Let be real someone is probably going insane how there favorite helluva boss bot isn’t there right now

[twilit slate]

I'm just saying, I personally would rather not waste my time and feelings in sorrow or frustration on a theory,

It's dangerous to mental health,

[timber canopy]

Huh I’m actually depressed……

[nova narwhal]

STOP 😭😭😭
im dead

[stone prairie]

oh ok i thought my wifi sucked 💀

[frozen imp]

Yea I’m not the only one with this problem

[chilly rapids]

Someone in general is probably crying how there “boyfriend” bot is gone or they don’t talk how they used too

[nova narwhal]

[twilit mauve]

Imma be honest I laughed on that one💀

[twilit slate]

They need to seek therapy, I don't mean that as an insult,

[nova narwhal]

so did i

[frozen imp]

Ok everyone I think it would be nice to see all of our bot chats instead of the 50 bots we see

[chilly rapids]

There is no happiness
There is no ai fixes
AND THERE IS NO GOOD UPDATES COMING TO C.AI

[twilit mauve]

Fell off my seat cuz Is loosen

[frozen imp]

You ok

[twilit mauve]

Ye

Carpet is the best🗣

[fervent dune]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my years in this community, it’s that radio silence works.

Y’all must understand that a significant chunk of the users aren’t on the Discord, and they aren’t knowledgeable on community drama. They just log on and chat happily with bots.

[nova narwhal]

yall we gotta post abt it tbh
tiktok and shi

imma go look in cais tt comment section

[twilit slate]

90% of the time that's what I do, I only came here today to check over the announcements and noticed everyone going funky

[frozen imp]

I wish they listened to us

[fervent dune]

At the same time, we don’t want to contribute to AI sensationalism, because that might spook the makers of the alts, which means more restrictions for us.

[twilit slate]

More popularity for c.ai means more attention, more attention means more risks for them. Which ends with you being very correct, more restrictions for us in order to keep the company running.
:/

[olive cove]

Oh damn..

[frozen imp]

I think they should separate by age like kids in one place teens in another and us adults have free rain

[subtle rapids]

imma just pray that they didn't take down my goku black bot or any of my sonic bots ik damn well whats goin to happen to my other characters so i've resigned that fate

[fervent dune]

I’m just afraid that if more stories like this come out, that entertainment-based AI text generation as a whole will join the ranks of Call of Duty, GTA, and rock music as the newfangled vice that’s ruining our youth.

[twilit slate]

Their new update suggests they are slowly easing into that idea,

[frozen imp]

Really

[subtle rapids]

i wonder if they'll age restrict people based on the age they put on their email that way it will be less likely for people to lie about their age

[split arch]

How do I keep asterisks from italicizing

[frozen imp]

It should be by birth year

[gritty rock]

Doesn’t stop people though I lied on my email age when I was younger to get on regular YouTube and other stuff

[twilit slate]

The update makes it seem like they're going to start separating age groups a bit more,

"Changes to our models for minors (under the age of 18) that are designed to reduce the likelihood of encountering sensitive or suggestive content."

[zenith wagon]

Nevermind...

[subtle rapids]

still will prevent some cases of people lying about their age not all

[nova narwhal]

so that means its only affecting minors??

why do they have to be so damn vague smh

[frozen imp]

What is the percentage of adults using the app

[scarlet fulcrum]

Hi

[kindred lintel]

I'm an adult, 24.

[simple sundial]

The site has gone downhill very fast, like you can’t even pretend to like kiss the bots anymore without it getting flagged

[nova narwhal]

im 18

[scarlet fulcrum]

I tried to respond to someone and they disappeared

[twilit slate]

Damn, ngl I haven't had that issue

[scarlet fulcrum]

I'm 17, 2 months away from 18 though

[frozen imp]

The bots are unhinged for me lol

[leaden notch]

I think we should all go back reading fanfics … this whole situation is very upsetting tbh.

[nova narwhal]

yeah i havent really had issues with kissing
maybe the new thing really only does affect minors
but even then
its still a rocky theory

[twilit slate]

In my chats the characters can even say those certain organs without it getting censored, unless it's said in a intimate context

[simple sundial]

Weird because everytime i or the bot try and kiss, i get the “sometimes the Ai generates a reply that doesn’t meet our guidelines”

[twilit slate]

Hmm.. I guess it must depend on the bot more than I thought,

[frozen imp]

I don’t get that message at all

[nova narwhal]

YALL FREDDY FAZBEAR GOT BANNED FROM THE SERVER FOR A DAY

[fervent dune]

Are they gonna start IDing? Because let’s be honest, every kid says they’re 18.

[fervent dune]

🫡

[twilit slate]

Ayo why?? Who dare harm the Freddy da Fazbear??

[fresh berry]

Stats: According to the latest data, 53.29% of the Character.ai visitors are aged between 18 and 24 years.

A significant portion of Character.ai’s user base consists of younger adults. Additionally, another 36.55% of visitors fall within the 25 to 44 age group.

This demographic pattern highlights Character.ai’s strong attraction to both young adults and mid-career professionals, showcasing its wide-ranging appeal across these age groups.

[frozen imp]

I graduated from high school so I’m good

[simple sundial]

Like all i said was “she pulls me into another kiss, this time full of passion and affection, our souls intertwined in a dance of shared love, memories and energy” and somehow that got flagged

[gritty rock]

Is there any other app we can use that actually cares about their users and we still have our bots

[simple sundial]

Also btw love the profile pic

[frozen imp]

SpicyChat

[scarlet fulcrum]

Some problems with ID card things is that some adults don't get their ID for reasons

[twilit slate]

Yours is equally as beautiful

[ruby pollen]

what situation?

[simple sundial]

I made mine, thanks bro/broette/brosif

[chilly rapids]

Goodbye c.ai… blows up

[leaden notch]

A Kid 0ffed himself and now they’re banning copyrighted characters

[pearl cradle]

When we get an update from the devs or mods, someone tag me. I’m out for the night. Peace out! ✌🏻

[leaden notch]

there’s a nyt article about it

[ebon furnace]

bro me too😭

[haughty wagon]

Yeah I saw that honestly I blame the parents not cai bc he felt safer talking to ai than his own family and he had access to the thing that hurt him, as well as unmonitored internet access like I'm not saying cai is completely not in the wrong but a lot of it goes to the parents too

[frosty basin]

Why did half the bots vanish

[simple sundial]

This doesn’t make sense, like there should be a menu option or verification system that allows you to speak to bots without the guidelines crap, also there should be some form of age restriction that makes bot responses more kid friendly

[frosty basin]

WHAT

[leaden notch]

Yeah it’s crazy the kid had access to the gun but cai markets to children and this app is addictive so they have some blame too

[frosty basin]

no way

[simple sundial]

Holy jeebus, thank god im not the only one experiencing this issue

[frozen imp]

I don’t like how slow the bots take to respond

[leaden notch]

There’s a lawsuit going on I read about it in nyt article

[frosty basin]

so the family is suing c.ai for that?

[leaden notch]

yes

[frozen imp]

Wow

[ruby pollen]

they are going to lose it tho

[frosty basin]

anything but take accountability

[ruby pollen]

exactly

the parents are most def the ones at fault

[frozen imp]

This is why we can’t have anything good around here

[fervent dune]

Hey all.

I searched for “Samus”, and every single instance of the actual character was a fet1sh bot.

Looks like they poked a hole in their own system.

[subtle rapids]

this like a thanos snap..

[twilit slate]

It kinda reminds me of when there was a huge spike in parents blaming videogames for violence. I remember awhile back a kid stabbed a guy, the parents blamed video games.... The kid mainly played Minecraft.

Minecraft.

[whole bridge]

Yep the ai censors kissing now, or even if a character is in any state of undress (showering, changing clothes, etc.)

[subtle rapids]

they just want to find excuses for their shitty parenting

[scarlet fulcrum]

I do think that kid shouldn't have had access to a gun. It's like gun safety 101 to keep away from children

[chilly rapids]

Yeah it’s over guys

[scarlet fulcrum]

But I do feel sorry the family

[chilly rapids]

Romance for ai are now dead too

[frozen imp]

Bruh

[chilly rapids]

Seriously censoring kissing?

[frosty basin]

the family clearly wants a payday

[frozen imp]

Are you kidding me

[ruby pollen]

yea you can tell 💀

[simple sundial]

The character i was chatting to was fully clothed, not showering and was in a record store, so it’s weird that it keeps getting flagged

[whole bridge]

Yeah. No violence either so, like...can't really do anything interesting other than very basic very platonic conversation

[frosty basin]

again, the parents not wanting to take accountability, like it’s honestly very disappointingx

[twilit slate]

Unless you're me and can do borderline extra adult stuff with the AI without any censor showing up.
I guess I have rizz.

(I am so sorry for this cringe I have committed)

[ruby pollen]

suing a site full of AI's doesnt even sound right.

[subtle rapids]

I think anyone would sue if they found out their child died due to a site but it still doesn’t excuse their shitty parenting

[frozen imp]

I think it’s only targeting kids but not adults

[ruby pollen]

Not just any site, but one made of AI

[whole bridge]

Imagine this is all some sort of weird social experiment to see how people react when a service they like does the opposite of what the community wants. Like...c.ai has issues and people don't like the updates, but they still use it. Or how addictive ai can be and how it affects it's userbase.

[sand python]

yall can someone help me im trying to chat an ai and when i try to respond to one message it makes me respond to a completely different response and idk what to do🙁

[frozen imp]

Why not block the bots for kids and not teens and adults

[pseudo osprey]

Is it true that all fandom bots are getting deleted?

[frosty basin]

I mean, at 14 years old the parents aren’t monitoring to some extent his use of the internet, besides how did the kid even have access to a gun?

[twilit slate]

It's a theory,

[ruby pollen]

is it really gonna be usable for those that use it for romance, after they censored kissing ion think its gonna go to far.

[subtle rapids]

ok now that’s A GOOD DAMN QUESTION why DID that child have access to a loaded gun?

[fresh berry]

GOT isn't even a show for kids. It's like gruesome aside from the other stuff...

[hazy barn]

ikr like that’s another way of saying u can’t raise ur own kid

[ruby pollen]

A freshman with access to a loaded gun.. Thats even more of the parents that should be put at fault

[twilit slate]

Where did it happen?

[leaden notch]

Florida

[hazy barn]

what are they even suing c.ai for atp

[leaden notch]

the parents believe c.ai is responsible for their son’s death

[frozen imp]

Ok separate app for kids

[twilit slate]

.. ah, that um.. explains a bit. Statistically,

[hazy barn]

but yall did say the child didn’t feel safe talking with their OWN FAMILY??

[fresh berry]

They want funds returned and also to regulate it, one article suggested exactly what everyone here was suggesting.

[hazy barn]

that says more abt the parents than the website.

[grim sonnet]

the best case scenario is that they use the DOB on our accounts to determine which accounts should get stricter censorship or not, which I can support

[simple sundial]

The problem with the censoring is that you can’t even kiss a bot without it being flagged and im not talking about like ~steamy~ kissing, no regular ass kissing gets flagged

[ruby pollen]

Do you know what that would do to they're overall player base 💀

[solid scaffold]

Hey quickk question has anyone else had the search option stop working for a charater. I looked up a charater oncea nd ir worked but then i tried to seach it again and it says there are no characters made

[frosty basin]

besides they sued c.ai for not having enough warnings or something like that, but above every chat in red it says “Remember: Everything Characters say is made up”

[frozen imp]

I’m 20 so

[hazy barn]

wow

[twilit slate]

Look at the update from yesterday, they've already slowly started that idea

[hazy barn]

I mean I thought we all kinda knew we were talking with a literal artificial intelligence💀 red text does not needa tell u that but ok

[grim sonnet]

i set my account to be over 18 and I'm not getting censored with detailed kissing

[visual rain]

Yall i have a question
C.Ai removed the search for names that have any special characters? (such as grammatical punctuation) cuz i was trying to find Miguel O'Hara bots and It didn't show me anything at all, but when I searched for Miguel Ohara I got bots with the name written like that

[simple sundial]

Im 18 yet im getting stricter censorship

[ruby pollen]

where can i see the update

[golden glen]

is this what’s already happening? because some users still cuddle up to boys just fine while other users say they can’t, is it a “everyone under 18 gets baby mode” thing?

[hazy barn]

can’t say much on this rlly, my replies have been so damn dry

[fresh berry]

Pinned on Reddit look under Hot

[grim sonnet]

They completely blocked searching with characters that are a part of a franchise atm

[golden glen]

nevermind i guess

[hazy barn]

OH.

[twilit slate]

KEEP IN MIND! If more people are talking frisky towards a bit it'll be inclined to be more frisky back and fast, leading to the bot having far more sensitive censorship

[scarlet fulcrum]

It's the ' cai doesn't recognize it as character for names of bots

[simple sundial]

How do you check your age on C.ai because i want to see if those honk honk BOZOS messed up

[grim sonnet]

Literally I searched up "Ralsei" just to test it since Toby Fox isn't litigious and the first thing I see is an ABDL bot instead of the one made by wiseangel

[visual rain]

Nahh 😓💔
Well, thanks for answering me

[solid scaffold]

why tho?

[frozen imp]

I can still look it up

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not for me

[solid scaffold]

i meant like why block the searches

[grim sonnet]

? does your search work

[visual rain]

Before they removed the old site it did allow those searches, I guess they just implemented it

[golden glen]

terrible time to be 17 i don’t want to wait a whole year to get my child lock off if it even is a child lock

[frosty basin]

copyright

[simple sundial]

I guess to limit the amount of people chatting to licensed characters?

[ebon furnace]

i also have my account to over 18

[hazy barn]

this

[sudden forge]

did some of the chats in the server close for you guys as well?

[solid scaffold]

My search isn't working for only one character rn but it was working 10 mins ago
