[grim hatch]

and I haven't. Gotten a driver's license bc I like riding my bike

[potent hornet]

You’re cooked brother

[keen kettle]

i can't find my old chats 👀

[potent hornet]

I mean you can TRY? But you do you

[smoky river]

Most of us are cooked

[grim hatch]

Let's hope I pass as 18+ 🥹🙏

[clever crystal]

I have a state ID- thank GOD

[tranquil shard]

afaik if they detect that youre under 18 BUT you're not, youll need a selfie. It does not include giving an id. "Our age assurance tech doesn’t require you to submit any extra personal data.

"As we said above, if that age assurance tech indicates you’re under 18 but you’re actually 18+, then yes, you’d need to submit some personal data to verify that. But even then that still doesn’t mean you have to provide an ID! Instead all you have to do is snap a selfie. Our third-party provider, Persona, can do verification using that selfie. It only takes seconds and doesn’t involve giving Persona your ID."

[lime thunder]

We’ve evolved

[tranquil shard]

taken from the announcement on their blog or something

[smoky river]

Oh okay

[signal gale]

I hope it registered the bags under my eyes from college 🙏

[clever crystal]

I swear- if they DONT give us a 18+ chat ver after this tf

[smoky river]

It would be extremely disappointing

[clever crystal]

Ikk

[frail robin]

ye most of this community is cooked cuz they cant verify. and no, you actually need to send a selfie.

[autumn flare]

I look 12 and im not f my chungus life

[clever crystal]

Like they lock a the younger ones out now let us have it PLEASE

[tranquil shard]

Apparently 18+ servers COULD exist

"When you turn 18, you’ll be able to migrate to the 18+ experience. If we’re not sure whether you’ve turned 18, you might be asked for the age verification selfie."

[cyan void]

I just joined this server because of the stupid update thing I'm ready to throw hands with someone/j

[smoky river]

😭 samee

[frail robin]

no, its just the experience, not servers

[autumn flare]

LMAO

[tranquil shard]

yeah i shouldve clarified

[clever crystal]

Facts bro

[tranquil shard]

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/42828297541787-Age-Assurance-What-you-need-to-know

[signal gale]

This update summoned so many roleplayers like the avengers this is kinda funny

[frail robin]

jst send some form of legal I.D.

passport, driver/learner license, etc.

[smoky river]

If c.ai does add the 18+ thing, a whole lot of profit will be lost

[frail robin]

oh please...

[lime thunder]

I’ve been mentioned

[clever crystal]

So wait yall- if I got the little botif after midnight- does that mean if I chat for 2 hours today- then I can't chat no mode toll the next day starting now? Or-

Since we don't have the verification thing yet

[tranquil shard]

gather, dear roleplayers! Anime roleplayers! canon roleplayers! IRL bot roleplayers! UNITE!!!!

[smoky river]

Also, what's the point of adding the parental thing when this happens not even a whole year later 😭

[frail robin]

The point is that this is more proactive than the other updates.

[smoky river]

Ohh

[frail robin]

The other updates is literally voluntary and "trust me bro"

[clever crystal]

. Help

[smoky river]

😭

[frail robin]

like yeah, people will either not participate or lie about their age 😭

[cyan void]

LOL

[grim hatch]

gng I've only been using c.ai bc I can't find roleplayers 💔 Tumblr is so dry and most the roleplay servers I join are dead

[signal gale]

SO REAL OMG

[smoky river]

Like literally it's not that hard to do it unless they require a selfie and id

[distant trench]

OMG REAL

[tranquil shard]

i only use c.ai to use my ocs to mess around

[smoky river]

EXACTLY

[frail robin]

that's the point yeah. its more proactive and enforceable than the other prior updates.

[lime thunder]

My only concern is the fact that I’ve only gotten this ‘one week left’ thing but I’ve had no restrictions or other warnings, so I’m assuming they’ve determined like different types of parties: minors who get restrictions/warnings, adults who they haven’t verified who’ve gotten this one week warning but no restrictions or other warnings, and then other adults who haven’t had any of it.

[tranquil shard]

like "yesss Ipomoea go confront that demon over there, youll be ok"

[signal gale]

last time I joined an rp server it was just two people role-playing and I got ignored the whole time 💔

[smoky river]

Ykw? I'm going back to Wattpad or AO3

[clever crystal]

I just wanna have my fun little stories- PLEASE- like bro- I love giggling at when they play truth or dare it's funny

[cyan void]

Honestly same

[grim hatch]

like I've gotten to the point where I send my friend wiki pages and be like "hey can you play them..."

[signal gale]

NOOOOOO NOT WATTPAD WE CANT GO BACK 😭

[smoky river]

WE GOTTA

[tranquil shard]

putting our braincaps on yeaaahh

[cyan void]

Wattpad is a WILD place tbh

[smoky river]

But I'll still get my stories 🙂‍↔️

[latent shore]

Yo is the character ai app not working ive been having login issues for a while now but the web works

[cyan void]

I might just go back to Status tbh

[grim hatch]

grabs people to roleplay with /j

[distant trench]

I thought the app was for role playing and fantasy things, not a app where its basically restricting people from doing roleplays just because they don't know their age🪫

[lime thunder]

I don’t even want to FATHOM my library I haven’t opened that app in years 😭

[grim hatch]

they're gonna maybe make it pay to play I fear...

[cyan void]

WHAT!

[smoky river]

Ik my old account was just straight Lapidot (lapis x peridot)

Deleted it tho

[distant trench]

I'm going back to texting stories</3

[tranquil shard]

bah.. they got ads... at some point theyll make it pay to win

[autumn flare]

read thru the whole thing and ts still seems kinda dumb

[cyan void]

Yall think the Google version would work? Ya know since you don't have to actually download the app?

[smoky river]

Maybeee

[autumn flare]

probably?

[distant trench]

I could check

[signal gale]

I accidently got myself in time out

[lime thunder]

Has any web users only gotten warnings or restrictions?

[tranquil shard]

yeaap. Id gladly hand over my Id so that i dont get flagged. I did it for vrchat to verify my age

[distant trench]

No

[cyan void]

AO3 confuses me tbh

[smoky river]

I saw some wild shit on there

[signal gale]

anything to keep me to be able to try and rizz up Robert Robertson 🙏

[distant trench]

Bro I swear they are doing everything but letting people roleplay at this point..

[cyan void]

I just like traumatizing bots on C.ai tbh

[tranquil shard]

mfw i missed The Tag

[dark crater]

Goodnight c.ai im going back to roblox RPs in boys and girls dance club

[smoky river]

Fr 😭

[signal gale]

Berry Avenue....here I come 😔

[tranquil shard]

ok how on earth does one "traumatize" these bots.. like whats the symptoms

[dark crater]

LOLLL

[cyan void]

I trapped a Mafia bot in a room full of BookTok girls

[smoky river]

See you there ig 🥹

[smoky river]

Heh 😈

[pure river]

Ok so uhhhh

How do I get that age verification thing started

[distant trench]

Like genuine the app was meant for roleplaying and now they are telling people(who haven't verified) they aren't going to be able to roleplay even if its sfw🪫✌

[smoky river]

We have no clue jk

[frail robin]

it hasnt started.

bro this chat....

[signal gale]

Its not gonna happen until the day of the update

[tranquil shard]

i believe you need to do that when the "persona" age thing gets pushed out

[smoky river]

I KEEP ON FORGETTING THAT WE CAN'T ADD IMAGES

[signal gale]

bro I have so many good reaction photos and its killing me I cant send em

[smoky river]

FRR

[pure river]

Omfg. Like there isn't even a place to put my birthday. e.e

[tranquil shard]

also guys is "epic the musical" worth teetering in? I keep seeing bots....

[smoky river]

Yes

[signal gale]

Its a good musical

[pure river]

The music is so good

[frail robin]

1. If you are timed out on accident, send a ticket or ping a mod here to get ur account sorted out.

2. Wait until the update arrives. You can then verify by sending a selfie or if that doesnt work, a picture of ur legal I.D.

people catastrophizing are not helping. yall panicking for no reason.

[tranquil shard]

Ruthlessness goes so hard

[dark crater]

FOREAL BRO LEMME ATLEAST CHAT TO ONE BOT GANG 🥹🤞

[frail robin]

#📣︱announcements plz man. it literally says it all here, straight up.

[signal gale]

Sometimes you gotta panic to eventually relax: aka ima go to bed

[distant trench]

🥀

[tranquil shard]

You cant blame the people that are joining the server because they saw the thing. cmon give em some slack

[smoky river]

Fr because that's why I'm here

[frail robin]

bru ppl are jst saying stupid sht here

gn.

[smoky river]

.... Brother

[tranquil shard]

doesnt help that youre being a bit mean too....

[dark crater]

Gn to the one Gojo Satoru bot i talked to since I joined

[frail robin]

im not. jst saying that the announcement lays out everything here.

[grim hatch]

stop being mean about it 💔 gng it's not that serious people will panic

[smoky river]

Like I'm not even that pressed

[frail robin]

not that serious
people panicking

wait, what?

[tranquil shard]

Its a reasonable reason to get unsettled about it

[distant trench]

Chat should I slave away and make fanfiction for you guys... ✌🪫 just for you all to still have your fantasies of roleplays or should we all just make a server to have roleplays in.. Like the old days..

[smoky river]

🥹 for real

[dark crater]

Yes

[grim hatch]

and it's okay to panic if they are, because panicking is something that's a human trait to do. people get unsettled and that's fine
bro is pressed over a human reaction💔

[distant trench]

Bet

[frail robin]

sure but at least understand first since misinformation is literally whats driving all the panick rn.

[grim hatch]

panic*

[smoky river]

The auto correct is sending me

[pure river]

Tbh ok that announcement post mentions 18+ accounts but not how to get one? I'm just an old af Xennial, looking for a walk thru lol

[tranquil shard]

if i could send a gif if send the gif of a skeleton smoking a cigar

[smoky river]

PLEASE C.AI I NEED THIS! MY OC'S ARE KINDA HOMELESS

[pure river]

I got this 'hey heads up u got a week' notice

[smoky river]

I CAN'T DRAW I WANNA HELP THEM OUT

[frail robin]

wdym how to get one? Were u asked to put ur date of birth before? cuz that was an update earlier this year

[dark crater]

BRO I CAN DRAW CHAT I GOT OUR YUMESHIPS

[grim hatch]

i don't have any parental insights but I'll come back in 2 hours ish or whatever to see if anything happens lol

[smoky river]

Bett

[pure river]

Legit no clue. Im 40+ lol. I dont see anything in my profile about my age.

[tranquil shard]

Okay, from what ive gathered so far, when the update gets pushed out.. and if the age assurance assumes youre under 18 but you arent under 18, youll have to give Persona (a third party age verif thing) a selfie

[frail robin]

if that's the case, then just make sure/hope that u dont get flagged then.

if ever u do, then surely, sending a selfie or some I.D. is doable for ya?

[smoky river]

Okay

Just got done redownloading Wattpad and webtoon tho

[distant trench]

I'm not going to lie, whats the point of having ai chat bots just for them(c.ai) to make it more difficult to let people have delulu fantasies about their favorite characters, like genuine c.ai what are we doing🪫like let the people be delulu!! Thats how you get people to download your app..

[frail robin]

bro that's how they got their lawsuits

what r ya even saying rn.

[tranquil shard]

the whole hooplah about the lawsuits aand stuff is what caused this

[pure river]

I mean sure im fairly sure even with my stupid baby face I look at least mid-30

[distant trench]

🥀🪫

[smoky river]

But it was still the parent's fault for not watching their kid

[frail robin]

that message has to be a huge /s cuz what the hell

ya cant be serious

[grim hatch]

just leave the chat if your gonna be negative like damn 🥹 ts doesn't concern you, you said goodnight already, bye

[tranquil shard]

agreeee

[frail robin]

yeah and it was the driver's fault that they were speeding that caused them to crash their car.

yet we have seatbelt laws and speed zones

[distant trench]

.

[grim hatch]

y.... Yes? If your speeding and get in a crash it's your fault...

[pure river]

Im one of those super fun i got hypermobility isht so just constantly get poked at for looking younger but dang I was born during Reagan lol

[smoky river]

... Brother did the ball go over your head? And yes it is their fault

[frail robin]

yeah. and the point is that we still have laws that affect everybody to avoid something that falls on the individual.

[grim hatch]

just ignore them atp, they said goodnight and still have yet to sleep

[tranquil shard]

Parents cannot and should not expect big companies to parent their kids
Im saying it! Im gonna get flambed!

[distant trench]

Isn't it commen sense not to speed..? Unless there is a sign telling you how many miles you go

[smoky river]

Yeah that's a good idea because what 😭

[frail robin]

yeah and again, we still have speeding laws and a requirement for everyone to wear seatbelts.

[distant trench]

no duh</3

[frail robin]

it is. and yet we still have rules in place, no?

[smoky river]

Because it's for safety... In case there are still spreaders...?

[distant trench]

What are you even trying to get at??

[tranquil shard]

i cant be the only one confused rn

[grim hatch]

Goodnight!!! Goodbye!!! Go to sleep like you said you would

[frail robin]

even if its the parent's fault (for the sake of argument), there are still laws for ai e.g. chatbots.

follow?

[grim hatch]

Go to sleep!!! You said u would

[smoky river]

What laws...?

[frail robin]

i was saying gn to the other person who said they were going 😭 brother...

[distant trench]

I think its normal for stuff to have laws???? And or rules??

[grim hatch]

You can still go to sleep it's okay

[deep forge]

anyone know why it's so insistent on me having a default persona? I will turn off the default for my persona and then it will automatically turn on another persona as default.. no I don't want a default persona ??

[frail robin]

the new California law that just passed? the reason why we have this update now?

[smoky river]

Not everyone is in California

[distant trench]

I'm not in California tho

[frail robin]

yeah ya got my point. same for ai chatbots right?

[distant trench]

I'm in Germany</3

[smoky river]

How is it over there?

[frail robin]

its a state-wide law covering AI. Most AI platforms, including c.ai is based in California

[cyan void]

I'm in Michigan

[distant trench]

Chill

[smoky river]

Cool

[distant trench]

I need to save my bots rq, especially the ones I made so I can keep they safe.. Bc I didn't waste half my time writing them🥀

[smoky river]

Yeah I'ma go collect my OC'S

G'night/morning and have a great rest of your day/night

[distant trench]

I'll be making a role playing server later for everyone who wants to keep role playing and stuff ig

[hexed bone]

the bug is happening again. The one where they keep listing synonyms :(

[grim hatch]

bats my eyelashes at you /silly

[smoky river]

Make sure to remind me or something

[tranquil shard]

i remember when a bug happened where a bot i was using would just. randomly speak korean
and then another bot of mine spoke russian

[distant trench]

Alright

[smoky river]

What 😭

[distant trench]

I'm going to add you guys because uhh I'll genuinely forget who most of you guys are..

[smoky river]

Bet

[grim hatch]

support is NOT helping me bro I just want to verify "go in advanced settings" all that's there is delete account 😭

[tranquil shard]

The first one just babbled gibberish and then some korean
but the second one spoke normally and just said russian outta nowhere

[distant trench]

Any, it's basically for any type of rp.. 🥀

[smoky river]

Dear Lord 😭

WAIT I SHOULD REDO MY WOF OC'S AFTER I GET MY STUFF OFF OF C.AI

We can fr make one!

[dark crater]

Lemme join

[grim hatch]

trying to bully my bf into roleplaying with me rn sigh

[grave bobcat]

Okay

I just got the 1 week left notification

I'm out

[grim hatch]

also apparently my screentime on my phone is like. messed up bc it doesn't have c ai anywhere lmao

[real stump]

Sigh..just got the one week left notification. I was going so good 💔 gotta cherish it while I can

[smoky river]

Oh!

[grim hatch]

maybe I just don't use it that much 🤔

[distant trench]

I'm gonna use my server I was already working because I'm lazy to make another server chat just to make a whole new lay out

[smoky river]

I KEEP ON CLICKING THE + BUTTON

[grim hatch]

? I've told him about me using c.ai lmao he's fine with it, and me roleplaying
he knows I don't have actual feelings for the bots or roleplayers 🙂‍↕️

[grave bobcat]

Ay nice

[distant trench]

I'll tell you guys when I'm done with the server.. Trust

[smoky river]

💪

I remember that happening to me. Someone LITERALLY simped over my hivewing in WOF once 😭

I had to stop playing 💔

[half ruin]

The new announcement just hit me and I'm like excuse me? I'm not a teen, I never wanna be again. How shall I prove this? 🤔

[smoky river]

Selfie or ID

[pure river]

Same

But it doesnt say how to activate that check

[smoky river]

We have to wait for the update

[real stump]

Don't mean to butt in but does anyone know specifically what they mean by "you can still connect with your favorite characters in different ways"? Bc I lowk have a comfort bot or two...😶‍🌫️

[pure river]

I presume that will happen sometime before the end of the week?

[smoky river]

Idk

[violet hill]

There is also a chance that the age assurance system will simply determine that you are not, in fact, a minor and you'll never have to provide anything.

[pure river]

Shrug. Guess we wait. Still hate it, im forgetful af and rather just show it my old face lol

[grim hatch]

I think they mean the one week left thing alot of people got

[half ruin]

Let's hope that's the case lol.

[smoky river]

Yeah but if you chat with things that are "childish" (Crk or Steven universe for example) you'll get flaged

[unique lance]

Hey yall, quick question, how do I submit a ticket to update my age?

I thought it verified based off of my Google account, which IS verified to be 18+, but Cai apparently didn’t like that.

[smoky river]

we have to wait for the update to send an id or selfie

[grim hatch]

Ive been talking to dispatch/DC chars so maybe it's me writing a younger oc lmao 😭 I always used correct spelling though

[late loom]

NOOO WHAT ABOUT IF I TEXT MY OWN C.AI BOTS WILL IT AFFECT??

[smoky river]

[pure river]

Dude I chat almost exclusively with like HH/HB characters and those are 16+ shows so idk

[late loom]

[distant trench]

[grave bobcat]

Same fr fr

[smoky river]

I would tweak if I had to get sent to Catholic school

I'm not even religious

[grim hatch]

I just saved all my personas bc I made a different account as an experiment and it didn't get flagged (I forgot about the experiment until today LMAO)

[late loom]

guys what if i pay for c.ai +💔

[unique lance]

I think paying for a premium in war thunder might be more useful, in my opinion

I rescind my comment

[frail robin]

doesnt do anything. ur still subjected to the age-assurance thing.

[half ruin]

Sounds like mine but I was misdiagnosed for the majority of it and the principle was one of those holy rollers who thinks anything mental is fake 😑 and or pure demon bs

[smoky river]

Oh? 😈

[distant trench]

You wasted your money.. 🪫🥀

[grim hatch]

I never used it so technically it didn't get age assurance 😭

[pure river]

Oh me either my dad is catholic but he didnt have custody etc my family's like non-religious/Presbyterian but they didn't know what to do with me back then it was the 90s and they didn't wanna admit i wasn't normal idk

[late loom]

i love making personas 🥹🥹

[dim breach]

What does it mean by "You will no longer be able to chat with characters"...

[late loom]

dw i will NEVER pay for c.ai

[unique lance]

it’s lowk crazy that I use hella advanced language in my bots, and I STILL got false flagged

[fast pier]

[dim breach]

Ah

[smoky river]

It's a waste tbh

[grim hatch]

[late loom]

YES

[timber canopy]

Check chat feed and scroll up, you gonna see it

[grim hatch]

may you dm me it I forgot what it said lmao 😭

[half ruin]

I'd like to know how I'm flagged specifically when nearly all my chats are angst and honestly could make Steven King look like a safe haven.

[timber canopy]

You got the notification? Did you have edit button or soft launch before?

[distant trench]

I have school in like 5 hours..

[smoky river]

Mood

[half ruin]

Not that I fully noticed. It was just like it said 'Starting next week' and so on

[late loom]

[late loom]

[smoky river]

Fr 🥹

WHY IS DISCORD TRYING TO MAKE ME PUT MY EMAIL ADDRESS IN THE TEXT (I'm on mobile)

[unique lance]

It sucks that I gotta wait, hopefully they roll out an age verification system soon

[smoky river]

They will in a week probs

[unique lance]

better cherish ts while I still can

Crazy that the goog bought C.ai (from what I remember) and STILL did not integrate age verification systems

nvm, did not buy

[smoky river]

💔

[unique lance]

Still, that is gonna SUCK

[late loom]

i made a new c.ai acc🥹

because i hated the other one

[clever crystal]

Hey guys I got a question, is everyone now limited to 2 hrs or just the people it thinks are minors?

How do I know if I'm an assumed one or not?

[grim hatch]

wait what does the countdown look like

[clever crystal]

Seriously- if we grt the pop up- bruh- and yeah

[unique lance]

Yall I opened a ticket to update my age, immediately sent an email afterwards, got told about advanced settings or something?

Said to click verify age, under that, it said something about updating if I didn’t see the options, is the update in question the one that isn’t out yet?

[grim hatch]

it isn't out yet

[unique lance]

thought so

they sending an email with a solution to a problem that they don’t have the solution to (yet)

did, that’s why im here

[weary hedge]

?????

[unique lance]

I swear, if somebody hacks Cai ticket page like what happened to discord, I’m gonna be mad as hell

[clever crystal]

Wait yall what's the timer look like.

[grim hatch]

that's what I'm asking lmao

[weary hedge]

I’m confused?

[unique lance]

I have a ticket, but im sure they’re already dealing with this issue thousands of times over

[woeful epoch]

Anyone knows how i can make my bot keep remembering its OWN details from the character definition? (If its one bot or multiple characters in one bot)

[weary hedge]

Persona

[woeful epoch]

I mean its own details

[grim hatch]

lwk might start a new account too but I'll see when we get to the week thing 🫩

[unique lance]

I can’t be bothered to make a new account, I don’t use Cai enough to justify it, nor do I care about making a new one

I think waiting is more useful

[clever crystal]

I'm so confused rn if it's just sending the message to everyone, and if so who's getting the stupid take a break thing

[strange sentinel]

@potent hornet Why is my response being wiped? BUT YES! PERCY! JINX!

[weary hedge]

I haven’t gotten a countdown

[clever crystal]

Me either

[crisp basin]

So in a week, all I gotta do is send a selfie of myself?

[unique lance]

let’s hope I don’t have to give them my ID

[clever crystal]

Fr

[weary hedge]

Fr

[unique lance]

you’d think they would have a system to verify your age BEFORE the guillotine timer starts

[weary hedge]

I’m not either I love the app ♥️ especially the stories like Sam and Dean and young Sheldon to name a few

[crisp basin]

This is not good lmao. I'm 19 but I have a baby face and I don't exactly feel comfortable giving my UD

[tulip pollen]

So true xd

[clever crystal]

Fr like wtf that's what I was thinking it's so stupid, I tried going over to poly and I gave up bc I got pissed at it and I hate the responses and short answers

[unique lance]

it seems a little stupid (for lack of a better term) on their part to not have a system like this in place beforehand, but I don’t know enough about computers and algorithms to know how difficult something like this is

[woeful epoch]

Wait our accounts are being deleted?

[weary hedge]

I’m 19 as well and so I’m hoping I can get around the bs 2 hour limit

[finite flint]

It would be under settings> advanced if you have it. Otherwise you’ll have to wait

[clever crystal]

Mother fu-

Like bro why

[unique lance]

Unfortunately, don’t have it, but it is what it is. I only have delete account

[clever crystal]

Me neither like wth

[weary hedge]

Same here

[grim hatch]

I usually use c.ai on my computer but idk man

[unique lance]

I don’t want to give up my account because there’s people that like my bots, and I want to make them happy

[weary hedge]

The Two hour limit is bullshit in my opinion

[grim hatch]

I'll send a selfie if I have to but If they count me as -18 still after the selfie 💔

[clever crystal]

Like 😭😭😭😭 can't they just hit go- like bruh

[grim hatch]

wait have people already hit the 2 hour limit?? did y'all get the week left thing

[crisp basin]

THIS. I have a baby face 😞 I get told I look 14 even though I'm 19 lmao

[clever crystal]

It's 2 am for me- this is Mt downtime after work like cmon-

[weary hedge]

Nope

[unique lance]

I dunno how people can use cai for 2 hours straight, but to each their own

Not meant to be judgmental btw, sorry if it came off like that

[grim hatch]

Are we getting the timer after a week then?

[clever crystal]

Yeah in so confused bro

[weary hedge]

Yep

[clever crystal]

WAIT FRRR

[unique lance]

guys do you wanna talk about why the F-15 is better than the MiG-25

wrong server mb, I thought I was in my other server lmao

[clever crystal]

WE FREE FOR NOW???

[weary hedge]

I have too many hours on C.ai ngl

[timber canopy]

No, you gonna get the timeout saying that you need a break after chatting with a bot for 2 hours. On November 24th minors won't be able to chat with bots at all

[unique lance]

well damn

[tulip pollen]

My highest record is like 60 hours a week

[grim hatch]

I hope they don't count the web/app being open but not being used cuz I keep the app/web open while doing other things

[smoky river]

I sometimes forget to close it and it runs in the bg for some reason so my stuff is cooked 😭

[timber canopy]

-# They count it..

[grim hatch]

WHAT

[clever crystal]

Wait so we good? Or not good? I'm so god damn confused 😕

[fallow quarry]

I hv worse.

[tulip pollen]

Is that bad or?

[smoky river]

That's bad

[timber canopy]

For those who leave the app open and not use it

[weary hedge]

I have more hours then that

[clever crystal]

IM 18 HELP IM SO CONFUSED

[tulip pollen]

Ahhh well I rarely do that

[clever crystal]

Brain is not braining rn

[timber canopy]

-# You heard me

[fallow quarry]

SAME. Bro wht is happening

[clever crystal]

Like dude HUH

[timber canopy]

-# You also don't have the timelimit even ace

[zinc birch]

You'll be fine

[tulip pollen]

Nope I don't have it

[fallow quarry]

So are the minors not allowed to use the app or not allowed to chat here?

[grim hatch]

wait do we already have the timer then I'm so confused

[tulip pollen]

Some do

[zinc birch]

I think they can still chat here

[clever crystal]

Man idk no more I'm just as confused

[grim hatch]

If they have the week left notif? Or

[warm valley]

I have a question why the frick does an app that centers around roleplay even need to make it only for adults

[clever crystal]

I'm just a girl

[tulip pollen]

I suppose

[warm valley]

Isn't the whole reason this got popular because of teenagers????? Or my tweaking

[fallow quarry]

So...jst they wont be allowed to use the app

[zinc birch]

Because laws are changing

[fallow quarry]

Reall

[real stump]

I believe they can still see previous chats and scenes and stuff, just no open ended chatting..

[zinc birch]

There's going to be some new way for them to do things on the app, supposedly, but they won't be able to chat as they have been

[warm valley]

At that point just make it everyone. Because at this point this app feels more like it's for adults than children

[fallow quarry]

Ohh

And how will they understand if the user is minor or no?

[timber canopy]

Omg.. if you got the pop up and you aren't minor, you got to verify with selfie if it fails then ID. Timelimit is for minors and you can ONLY chat with bots for 2 hours then it won't let you again and it's gonna say to take a break. On NOV 24th ALL minors would be banned from chatting but they can do other things other than chatting with the other features that's on app or web.

[weary hedge]

They face a lawsuit over a unfortunate event in a California family and faced a million dollars in compensation

[clever crystal]

Ight ima go test it see yall in- an hr and 16 to see if I get the timer

[weary hedge]

I haven’t gotten one

[timber canopy]

Then you are fine, don't worry yourself at all

[weary hedge]

Yay 😁

[fallow quarry]

Neither have i 😋

[tulip pollen]

Same here

[weary hedge]

I’m 19 so bingo for me ♥️

[fallow quarry]

Yee bingo🙂‍↕️

[tulip pollen]

[fallow quarry]

Well i am still indecisive whether or not if this ipdate is a good thing. Ig its good

It was there for a millisecond 😃

[weary hedge]

UwU

[fallow quarry]

Lord hv mercy

On me.

[finite flint]

My contribution ^ have a good night/day all

[tulip pollen]

Goodnight and go to sleep Eve xd

[warm valley]

Not going to lie I have a feeling this will crash and burn if I get timed out again I swear

I ain't doing nothing wrong

[weary hedge]

I have too many hours on C.ai to be completely honest

[tulip pollen]

I will say my averge is 50 hours a week

[warm valley]

Not going to lie giving up my my face or ID you sounds like a really bad idea

[weary hedge]

I have 93 hours a week

[warm valley]

Especially to a third party in general

[tulip pollen]

Seek help xd

[weary hedge]

Never

[fallow quarry]

Yea. Even tho it might help some of them to talk through hard stuffs in life its still not exactly a healthy thing. As some of em are still not mature enough to understand when to stop. So yee good thing.

[warm valley]

Y'all guys don't y'all have work or other stuff

[fallow quarry]

I once had 6 hours a day😍

[grim hatch]

Wait how will they verify new accounts 🤔 just make them verify in settings ig?

[fallow quarry]

During vacay

[tulip pollen]

I can't even argue, I have to many as well

[weary hedge]

Yep 💜

[warm valley]

Isn't some countries considered 18 under age still or my tweaking

[fallow quarry]

Therapist cost so much so no😔

[weary hedge]

I’m so lonely all the time *😞

[frail robin]

[tulip pollen]

Gaming is my therapy xd

[warm valley]

So how are they going to do with that are they going to make it so everyone who's in that country is under 18 they had to be 20 or 19

[zinc birch]

I think in Japan may use the age of 20?

[fallow quarry]

Poetry is my therapy 😋

[frail robin]

what? no.

i dont think they are doing this per country thing

[weary hedge]

🚔 sirens

[limber coyote]

Wait for their id?

[warm valley]

I've been hearing so much about persona and you know what's the crazy part Roblox is now since when did a kids game rely on to tell if someone's 18 and that's just done with bad moderation they need to fix that

[warm valley]

Countries have different ages so are they going to have to apply that to that country

[weary hedge]

Roblox IS 1000 percent worse !!!

[fallow quarry]

Real

[limber coyote]

So...we need to age verify each of our account?

[warm valley]

Agree and they don't even have an excuse even then

[weary hedge]

Yep

[frail robin]

what? yeah, Roblox defo need smth like that for safety bru 😭

[warm valley]

Can someone just take a picture of a family member

[fallow quarry]

No i think. Its only if you get a notification if they suspect you as a minor

[weary hedge]

It’s Bs they need to shut down Roblox honestly

[warm valley]

Real though

[fallow quarry]

Exactly.

[zinc birch]

Only if it asks you to. Otherwise you just don't worry about it

[frail robin]

bro...

u srs

[fallow quarry]

YESSS

[subtle pine]

im scared that im gonna get falsely accused tbh

[warm valley]

Listen I have to ask the dumb question

[weary hedge]

Roblox is disgraceful to kids then a minor ai app and Roblox is 1000 times worse and dangerous then c.ai

[frail robin]

i mean, lots of people are going to make that attempt for sure

[fallow quarry]

I m not scared at all. Abnd even if you are accused no worries i think if you verify

[warm valley]

It's not AI it is of a old person but are they going to make them verify every time they go to open a chat bot which can get real stupid

Not to mention they have ads which immediately makes me back off a site

[fallow quarry]

Ikrrrr

[frail robin]

I dont even think its comparable

One is a game and the other is a chatbot. Apples to Oranges.

[warm valley]

Ads give me a headache I see that stuff so often

[subtle pine]

still it's kinda stupid cuz what if i don't want to verify like i already had to do that with roblox and i don't want my ID getting out there

[warm valley]

What happened to not showing face or ID back then they literally said this people said this back then at this point I don't know why this isn't just a general law

[fallow quarry]

Like literally the reason i stopped using chai

[weary hedge]

That’s not what I’m sayin im saying one is actually real people and the other is not

[timber canopy]

If you get flagged as minor. You will verify with selfie IF IT FAILS then ID next

[subtle pine]

REAL

[warm valley]

At least with chai I expect ads

[fallow quarry]

True true but the app and its policy nothing we can do😭

[ionic socket]

Guys we still get a 2 hr chat limit every day

[subtle pine]

too bad i got a baby face

[warm valley]

Listen I'm not going to give up my ID or face just for some third party to go and leak that sh

[weary hedge]

Chai makes you pay too much

[fallow quarry]

YEA.

[frail robin]

yeah this needs to be done for safety and the greater good of everyone.

and if ur not timed out / have the daily cooldown, then dw.

[warm valley]

Damn

[ornate siren]

hii

[fallow quarry]

Yeaa bruhh

[subtle pine]

yeah you right you right

[timber canopy]

It doesn't matter, it scans for everything. Pores, wrinkles, etc. Even if you have baby face then don't worry

[fallow quarry]

Y tf!!! Bruhh

[subtle pine]

oh alright alright

[ionic socket]

Soo what does it mean then if we only get to view past chats will that be unlocked if you’re over 18?

[weary hedge]

I don’t have that if your over the age of 18

[frail robin]

if u dont want to do the necessary steps to continue using the app, then i feel like its time to stop using the platform.

[warm valley]

Take it from a perspective if you run and govern a country and you leave it how it is for so long when someone takes over and suddenly makes a change that ruins everything because that stuff been there for so long and people are used to you're basically especially if your whole app is just about chatting if someone messes up that's their fault put penalties on them

[frail robin]

its literally required by the law that ai platforms have to do smth like this.

[wicked reef]

I feel like glasses may make some ppl look older.

[real stump]

So does this mean that other apps like chai and poly are gonna start doing this too?

[fallow quarry]

Yeaa complaining is jst screaming into the void

[warm valley]

It doesn't seem like it

[frail robin]

are they based in California?

[weary hedge]

outside watching fish 🐠

[livid flax]

Good thing I have facial hair

[warm valley]

So is a California thing

[frail robin]

yep exactly. i mean, it is what it is.

[real stump]

Idk it just crossed my mind since it was ai platforms in general but don't mind me

[warm valley]

This just made me remember I'm American 🙂 and I'm not from California

[weary hedge]

fish 🎣

[warm valley]

Imagine this makes everyone quit and somehow this stops the reign of AI that'd be the most funniest way to go

[frail robin]

yeah i gotchu.

its a California thing so like yeah.

There is also a bill proposed at the federal level but we're not gonna talk about that

[ionic socket]

Okay are there anyone Australian who know anything about this genuine question

[subtle pine]

well i guess I'll deal with it cuz im NOT using chai or polybuzz im sorry

[warm valley]

I care too much about my safety

[fallow quarry]

Ikkrrrr

[unique lance]

I love planes

[warm valley]

And I don't trust third party

[frail robin]

then would it be preferable to quit then? i mean, safety triumphs chatting to a stupid ai chatbot right?

[fallow quarry]

Chai is disgusting

[subtle pine]

i hate the ads on chai, it's expensive, and polybuzz just icks me out idk why

[warm valley]

Yeah I may consider that

[weary hedge]

Who would classify a hellhound as a dog or a wolf ?

[frail robin]

i'd suggest u do that if u must, yeah.

[fallow quarry]

Chai=gooning with ads

[tulip pollen]

A dog in my opinion

[frail robin]

did the mods clean the automod system? how is that not automodded?

[subtle pine]

fr i don't want that at all ✌️

[warm valley]

FairPoint

[frail robin]

@heavy dirge what changes did yall make bru 😭

folks can say that word here but not f-ter?

[fallow quarry]

Yes😔like i wanna role play not do shit

[weary hedge]

Would you rather listen to for the rest of your life Nickelback or Three days Grace ?

[rare elbow]

My optimistic reply is that while giving your data to tech companies, it will allow you to use all the software's including third-party data. You may already have given them.

[grim hatch]

I think what's making me more anxious rn is that I'm sick 😭 and confused

[frail robin]

hope u feel better brodie

[grim hatch]

I'm fine with giving a selfie because I believe they'll delete it after your done verifying, right?

[warm valley]

They said they would apparently

[frail robin]

yeah after 7 days.

[grim hatch]

let's hope then lol 🥹

[weary hedge]

watching the snow fall

[rare elbow]

Most do say that 🙂

[grim hatch]

where's Sadie I wanna see the results 🤔

[weary hedge]

snow falls on Megan

😛

^^

Wake me up when September ends oh wait it’s November 🙁

[fallow quarry]

😭this year literally ended in the blink of an eye

[rare elbow]

totally

[weary hedge]

December is coming soon. Then JANUARY !!!

[fallow quarry]

Not excited 😞

[rare elbow]

😢

[weary hedge]

I’m excited 😊

[fallow quarry]

Today I spent 1 hour in front of the screen in c.ai... I'm proud. 😋

Whattt on earth

[weary hedge]

I’ve spent 96 hours jk no i actually spent 4 hours today

[fallow quarry]

Auto correction is annoying

[weary hedge]

Yep

Gotta love it

[inner ravine]

Is groupchats with friends ever going to come back because it’s been gone for like a year now

[modern linden]

i have a question im about to turn 21 and my account been marked for being underaged and saying i have about a week left before i cant use it. Im having a hard time understanding the verification process may someone please explain it

[fallow quarry]

Damnnn

[timber canopy]

Wait for the verification to come, it's gonna be selfie first if it fails then ID. That's it

[modern linden]

ohhhh word im assuming no date as been announced

[grim hatch]

Next week

[modern linden]

ohhh okay word

thanks ur a real one

[charred portal]

Make a ticket saying you were falsely flagged too, so they know

[modern linden]

oh how would i do that? (Also if the turn around time is only a week no biggie)

[timber canopy]

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new
Ticket link

[modern linden]

u the goat fr

[rare elbow]

Oh Zendesk.. 🙃

@modern linden Read the forwarded message

[modern linden]

Yikes zendesk I assumed that's what it was when I opened the link. I'm an admin on Fandom and they have the same system. It horrible and I wonder what business model leads to these teams utilizing zendesk (not efficient)

[zinc birch]

What would you recommend instead?

[rare elbow]

You got the fast pass on this juan 🎫

[modern linden]

While I don't fully understand the business reasons for companies deciding to use zendesk (I'm assuming workforce reasons) id push for live chat for support

Like it'll be similar to Xbox/Microsoft to control the volume of ppl waiting determine if someone really needs to speak with a human and then if so queue them up to speak to someone

Cause Imagine I send a ticket and realistically something y'all answered in 10 minutes could have taken 24 hours to tell me the same thing

[zinc birch]

I see. I think they probably don't see the need for that because people tend to get help fast from Discord when possible

[hexed falcon]

I don't really understand if the c.ai team is so small they should hire more people. They don't lack money

[sharp gorge]

-# how do I stop having mafia husband bots recommendations ? I NEVER roleplay with bots like those

[hexed falcon]

Realistically it was estimated 32 million in 2024, estimated in revenue and 30 million in 2025 July

It should not be lacking a team

[heavy terrace]

Its normal for a company. My bestie is a dev and her team only consist around 5 people. She handle about dozen of bank as software engineer

[hexed falcon]

Id say a bank and c.ai is different

[heavy terrace]

They have AI system as well. So..

[hexed falcon]

That's not what exactly I'm saying

[heavy terrace]

Still, my point stand

[hexed falcon]

There's an estimated 20 million users this year on c.ai. That means more bugs, more issues, that happens more frequently than a bank

[heavy terrace]

Bank also have bugs lol

[hexed falcon]

Yes but I don't assume they happen as often cause 20 million people are using it to chat

I see your point. My point is that this has more bugs than a bank, and more issues, due to the difference in usage

People are constantly complaining about ticket times. One time someone waited a month. Another one didn't get their ticket responded to, after bumped twice

A bank has an easier time responding to those if you ask me

[heavy terrace]

Yeah, one of her client is Bank of America which has around 67 millions people.. So not much than cai, I guess

[hexed falcon]

I really don't think you're understanding me

[grim hatch]

eughh my c ai is now glitching to where it stops me from typing when I go on a new line 🫩

[sharp gorge]

Wow me too

[hexed falcon]

Oof sucks

[modern linden]

Yeah those are wayyyyy different specs

[heavy terrace]

Not at all, lmao

[sharp gorge]

Personally I understand your point, but I believe ai is very expensive to run so it's probably not enough even with how much they make

But hey. I'm no expert and idk nothing at all about how much ai cost in terms of money 🙏🏻

[hexed falcon]

I appreciate you giving it a read

[sharp gorge]

No problem

[hexed falcon]

So what happens to minors who have plus btw? Do they get refunded if they still have time left on their plus?

Ive seen a few minors with plus so I'm kinda curious

[sharp gorge]

Ooh
Surely enough ?? Would pretty useless to have cai+ and not being able to chat

[hexed falcon]

Hopefully. Or that would be sad for them

[sharp gorge]

Imagining spending money in something you can't use ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

[hexed falcon]

Life is expensive enough

[zinc birch]

They do lack money

[modern linden]

There's stats to this I can't link but I'm very skeptical about them not being able to redo the costumer support

[hexed falcon]

Would you mind explaining your reasoning

[hexed falcon]

Give us a rundown

If and big if they lacked money they wouldn't keep c.ai running if there was no revenue

[heavy terrace]

Gib it to them via your bots, wb

[modern linden]

Valuated at 1 billion (means investors see them being worth that)
While it is expensive to run they did generate 30-32 million in revenue + as y'all know pushing c.ai+. Over the 2 years got about 300 million in funding.

They have 200 employees. So I get if they can't hire more ppl or have a direct line for support but I still believe taking a Microsoft approach would cut down on backlog and even the need to interact with a worker

[rare elbow]

What.

[hexed falcon]

Yeah the revenue seems right

I do agree in changing their approach but it is what it is

[modern linden]

Yeah

[hexed falcon]

It might lessen the money for awhile but in long term it should be better

[rare elbow]

My ticket has been waiting for ages

[hexed falcon]

How long is ages

[modern linden]

Yeah def an area id focus in next

[rare elbow]

Yuo dont get to find out. But, there is the team that you mentioned about hiring ppl, that i may further draw a point to.

[hexed falcon]

Ok lol. If I don't get to find out, I wanted to say if it's been long enough, you can ask a mod to bump it

[rare elbow]

Nah, I could give you a point as to one focus if you will about hiring more ppl

[hexed falcon]

Feel free, it's an open chat

I like hearing how others see this.

[rare elbow]

Sure it is.. aha

[zinc birch]

I searched for a site that estimates numbers and found these from a site called growjo:

• Estimated annual revenue is $68.3M per year. (Some other sites estimate half as much though)

• 209 employees.

• Estimated revenue per employee is $326k. That doesn't leave a lot left over assuming they are paying >100k each, considering where they are based.

• I asked chatgpt to estimate compute costs and it estimated ~$42M per year.

• I asked iaskai to estimate and it estimated a lot more 😅

• I don't really know how much CAI pays for computation, but I do know that they needed to add ads to supplement their cai+ income. I have also seen them need to reduce the amount of video generation they allow, even for paying members.

[buoyant elm]

It sucks so bad when you don't got any ideas on how to continue the chat so you're just laying there with a half written sentence trying to come up with ideas

[verbal talon]

hello !, how many bots can i make for the weekly theme? one only?

[verbal talon]

let AI do it for you

[hexed falcon]

Hmmm. I really love the way you calculated this. But I can't say anything is accurate since websites give different revenues. But don't forget they got investors

Someone said they got 300 million in funding

[zinc birch]

You can submit up to 3

[verbal talon]

perfect thank you

[small axle]

I hope that AI thing is dumb and doesn’t verify me as minor because I don’t have id a or a older face

[hexed falcon]

You don't have a passport, driver license, nothing?

[verbal talon]

there worries are valid, discord got hacked recently and ALOT of ID's were leaked, including photos, its something to be wary of

[hexed falcon]

I don't got ID either. I'll need passport if I get flagged lol

[still jetty]

Are we gonna get to verify every single time you open a chat bot?someone mentioned on those texts
Or just once you get verified ,not need anymore?

[vernal bramble]

Hi guys is there any new news going on?

[hexed falcon]

Why would we need to get verified every time

[verbal talon]

C.ai arent heartless, why they are incorporating so much chid safety i dont know

[zinc birch]

Yes they will need a weekly brain scan to confirm that you are still of adult mind

[hexed falcon]

Perfect answer

[small axle]

No

[vernal bramble]

Guys is this true ??

[hexed falcon]

Dude it says youre 16 in your bio

[fading lantern]

So are the bots marked as Moderated just gonna stay like that forever? /gen

[small axle]

Yeah I know

[hexed falcon]

You don't need to verify cause you won't be able to anyway. If you get flagged

[still jetty]

Wait what?
Do I have to verify once or every time I open my chat bots?!

[zinc birch]

Every 30 seconds

[vernal bramble]

UR KIDDING

[fading lantern]

I think they're messing with you.

[vernal bramble]

I wish.

[tulip pollen]

I think so

[zinc birch]

You must have your camera on and you must glue your ID to your forehead

[hexed falcon]

No critical thinking?

[still jetty]

You are messing with me !aren’t you?
I was asking serious..

[small axle]

Or take a picture

[zinc birch]

What do you think? 😅

[waxen atlas]

this is true and if you don’t do it correctly your phone camera will shoot a vaporizing laser at you

[vernal bramble]

DID THEY SAID THAT?

[zinc birch]

No, I obviously made it up 😅

[small axle]

No, it just says you have to take a picture or use ID

[still jetty]

I thought it was true 😭,don’t messing with me ,
I was just ask serious,if I have to verify once and that it!

[vernal bramble]

are u serious or ur kididng with me

[small axle]

I’m serious. You have to take a picture or use your ID

[vernal bramble]

this ik.

[zinc birch]

Yes, you only need to verify once, at most. Once they know you are over 18, then as long as they don't forget basic math, they will know forever that you are over 18

[vernal bramble]

but not each time u open a chat right?

[hexed falcon]

No offense but you need to start thinking

It is a genuine issue if you believe stuff like that. Don't believe everything you see online

[still jetty]

Sorry!
Im sometimes too gullible,I admit it!

[hexed falcon]

You're fine. Just do something about it or life will be hard AF

[hexed falcon]

You too

No of course it won't be each time. The information is saved

I wonder how tik tok gets away with dumb shit but I see now

[verbal talon]

especially in this generation

[hexed falcon]

Right ? With social media often spreading lies

[still jetty]

Too much misinformation ,I have to keep myself away from Reddit for while
The place is crazy!

[hexed falcon]

You can keep using it. The point is to do research yourself and think about it

[small axle]

I’m just gonna use a older picture

[zinc birch]

Yes. Except r/shareyourcharacters

[hexed falcon]

Dude. They won't judge based on your selfie alone and can you stop trying to bypass it

That selfie will be checked through persona

[small axle]

What does that mean?

[hexed falcon]

So I'm kinda curious. I have c.a plus. Where's my plus lol?

Did it get unlinked?

[rare elbow]

Free/Expensive,
I'll lay some ground.
Its been mentioned that company(bank/[say like company tomato] has bugs)
Bank clients will tend to be more mature/able to explain issues[bugs] xyz
Software's clients will tend to explain issues[bugs] 425
Recently its been said that ppl are complaining wait times. And I think its a simple common issue between the age demographic as to how the communication is being presented over to.

[rare elbow]

If I imagined myself to be the hiring manager, If i hiring manager 3 more people, will that speed up the process, i dont imagine so, no. it was recently said that a team of 5 completes tasks then from what they said they seem so have a tighter string to hold.

[hexed falcon]

There's a difference when people have waited 2 weeks and even a month

[still jetty]

And right now ,like im predict before ,I saw right now posts of people freaking out because some of them get the pop out announcement about not longer chat with bots,and they mention have adult version

[hexed falcon]

Do I really need to link my account bruh

[rare elbow]

my point is that perhaps the team often finds itself .. not within its priority, to hire more ppl. i dont handle none of their finances.

Ground has been landed.

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[haughty sentinel]

oh ok ty vro

[zinc birch]

About what?

[small axle]

About the update

[hexed falcon]

which one

[cobalt walrus]

Ah, welp, here goes a TF2 Medic bot that I chatted with going kaput

'Restricted access' nice

[still jetty]

It’s your own bot?
Just trying to change something or edit

[cobalt walrus]

Won't miss it since I barely chatted with it. Not my bot btw

Maybe it's because of the description or something like that idk. Won't miss it tbh, I barely chatted with it

[zinc birch]

Read the announcements

[small axle]

I did

[cobalt walrus]

At least, the one who made this bot had made a lot of bots, over a hundred of them, mostly TF2 bots

[small axle]

It Still sucks though

[cobalt walrus]

There's a bot that they made who's now unavailable and I was wondering if I could remade it and mark it as private. Not sure if I'll be able to chat with it, considering the nature of the description but it's not that bad from what I've seen.

[modern linden]

Good night?

[rare elbow]

Thank you.

[modern linden]

That so weird gng

[rare elbow]

Its late. And I spent my time to tell someone about a point.

[rare elbow]

Relatable

[small axle]

It’s 4:50 am for me

[rare elbow]

its night time for meh 🌜

[cobalt walrus]

Also, I've hidden the bot so yeah

[vital ore]

Hey so I got a notification on cai saying “next week you will no longer be able to chat with characters you will still be able to enjoy the feed and create and connect with your favorite characters in new ways” how come their doing this basically and does this mean I need to use ID to chat with characters when the new update is in effect?

[hexed falcon]

im surprised its next week, i thought nextmonth?

[hexed falcon]

Id suggest nicely asking a mod

[vital ore]

Who’s a mod?

[sharp gorge]

Kappa

[toxic pawn]

I would say I could help, but I only have the ability to delete messages. (Sorry)

[hexed falcon]

kappa doesnt seem to be on

[sharp gorge]

Oop

[hexed falcon]

Nah, thank you anyway

[vital ore]

Thx 👍

[hexed falcon]

ns, if you ask nicely they usually respond

or ping, i mean

[vital ore]

Am I able to ping them here or do I have to talk to them on private DMs?

[hexed falcon]

ping them here, no dms

[vital ore]

Okie dokie

@versed thicket so I got a notification on cai saying “next week you will no longer be able to chat with characters you will still be able to enjoy the feed and create and connect with your favorite characters in new ways” how come their doing this basically and does this mean I need to use ID to chat with characters when the new update is in effect? And I know this may sound like a dumb question I’m about to ask now but would I still be able to chat with bots for only an hour after November 25th?

I’m sorry if the question I asked just now sounds dumb I’m just genuinely curious 😭

[versed thicket]

No it's a valid question.

[versed thicket]

No, after 25th no more chats unless you undergo verification.

You can choose to do age verification to get back to the 18+ experience. But even if you do age verification, for most of you that still doesn’t mean you have to provide an ID. Instead all you have to do is snap a selfie. Our third-party provider, Persona, can do verification using that selfie. It only takes seconds and doesn’t involve giving anyone your ID.

Only as a final step – and only if you take a selfie and Persona isn’t sure you’re 18+ – would they ask you to upload an ID. Persona is a reputable provider with strong safety and security controls. C.AI wouldn’t collect or have access to that ID.

[vernal bramble]

Thanks, i was confused.

[vital ore]

Alrighty, thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Have a nice day! :3

[carmine junco]

Hey I did age verification with my mom and she did it at it versified my age as an adult, but today I got the notification and I lost adult account thing like the edit button even tho I vertified my age

[keen flare]

Wow

[civic edge]

Hello! I’m not sure if anyone can help me but 5 minutes ago I got his message on my app.

Next week, you will no longer be able to chat with Characters. You'll still be able to enjoy the Feed, create, and connect with your favorite Characters in new ways.

I don’t understand why..

[faint fable]

That is also why I’m here

I just wanna say that I’m not a minor so I don’t know why I’m getting this message 😭

[valid locust]

Well minors will no longer chat with bots

[carmine junco]

I also vertified my age but it still thought I’m a minor

[civic edge]

Same twin- like… I don’t wanna lose all of my hard work, bro even though they’re just messages, they mean more than that..🤯

[versed thicket]

Some users might have received the U18 pop-up incorrectly. The team are investigating the issue.

[civic edge]

Then what will they talk to? It’s not the whole point of the app.

[valid locust]

I dunno

[faint fable]

Ohhh okay. If something does happen to my account in a week, what should I do?

[carmine junco]

What if they already vertified their age like I did? Will it be fixed?

[civic edge]

Same…. Like I’m nervous

[faint fable]

I wanna be able to use that app like normal :/

[valid locust]

But this sucks for those who just talk with bots

[carmine junco]

Real

[civic edge]

Like I understand it’s just a robot but like…. Gurl… I literally have been with it ever since c.ai was released like I don’t wanna lose all of my hard work, even though they’re just conversations they still have value

[carmine junco]

Same like I’m attached to it at this point

[faint fable]

Fr.

[grim hatch]

how will we know if we were sorted incorrectly?

[civic edge]

YES.. like…

[carmine junco]

When I first got the “in two weeks u can’t chat” pop up before I verified my age I actually cried

[faint fable]

If someone happens to my account, I’m deleting the app. The ads were one thing but this is where I’m drawing the line man 😭

[carmine junco]

Yea💔

[civic edge]

I’m honestly nervous because I started so many conversations made several characters personas, etc… it’s hard to lose all of it..

And most people would just say and make a new account but like.. it doesn’t work like that. It’s really sad.

[civic edge]

There’s a way around the ads. If you download AdGuard on your phone, and do something in settings it should fix it. I DON’T KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR ANDROID BUT I DO KNOW IT WORKS FOR IPHONE.

[carmine junco]

Fr like the timeout after 2 hours was already having a negative effect on me, but if all my stuff is deleted I would fr break down

[still jetty]

So it’s just a bug?

[carmine junco]

IS THAT A SILD MONKEY KING PFP.

[still jetty]

Umm hi? 😅
Yes I’m the only and one ,monkey king! 😄

[civic edge]

SEE.. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who feels sad if something would happen to my account. Like.. not in a weird way.. but c.ai, has been with me ever since it came out and it honestly has made me release my imagination and it’s really sad to have all that go away or squished into ONLY TWO HOURS, THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS

[faint fable]

Well there’s nothing I can do right now so all I can do is hope nothing happens…if something does, then imma crash tf out

[civic edge]

Twin…. Let’s hope it’s just a bug…!🦅😟

[hot wolf]

bro i was only on c ai for like 20-30 minutes and now im timed out wth.

[edgy wraith]

What’s the point in using the app if you can barely use it💔

[main quartz]

Uhh why won't my pfp save

[edgy wraith]

On discord or c.ai

[main quartz]

C.ai

[edgy wraith]

It may just be down or a glitch, have you closed the app and tried again?

[main quartz]

Yeah
It's been like this for a while

[edgy wraith]

Weird, do you have to update the app

[main quartz]

No

[verbal talon]

clear cache, update, uninstall reinstall or check ur net

[edgy wraith]

Try uninstalling it? I’m not sure I’m sorry

[half dawn]

Try cropping the picture, the Bob for pfp has been sensitive lately. 💚

[main quartz]

Oohh okay I found my problem LOL

My username has a dash at the end
Apparently c.ai doesn't like that so I can't save changes

Thank you guys for helping

[hot wolf]

Exactly

[small axle]

I haven’t got the message yet, but same here

[odd crag]

I can't wait until the 24th and 25th. this place is gonna be popping

[heavy terrace]

Thats cai subtlely saying we dont want to involve minors anymore since yall get us into lots of lawsuits due to your neglected parents

[edgy wraith]

And what if it’s giving a 2 hour limit or less to adults?

[heavy terrace]

Then submit selfie or ID. Simple as that

After 24hb

[edgy wraith]

I read that someone already gave an id or a selfie and they still got the limit when they’re over 18

[heavy terrace]

You got lied. The update only came out after 24hb

[edgy wraith]

I didn’t lie, I saw it in this chat.

[carmine lotus]

She’s saying that the person lied because that isn’t happening yet

[edgy wraith]

Oh damn, my bad

[heavy terrace]

Thanks Aymeee for reading properly

[carmine lotus]

Always 🫶🏻

[edgy wraith]

You literally said “you got lied” not you got lied to, it could’ve meant anything

[heavy terrace]

Yeah, I forgot the 'to'. English is my third language

[edgy wraith]

Alright

[golden seal]

gotta free up a hour on 24th/25th just to lurk here and giggle

[verbal talon]

Man i cant even updatye my characters pfp, c.ai keeps running into errors on errors

[golden seal]

I had troubles last night w persona updating image, kept saying like violates policies

[proven anchor]

Thats so real, my personas are really glitchy too💔

[verbal talon]

i literally just cant update the images, just giving the same error over and over

[golden seal]

@amber cargo why delete I was gonna reply 💔

[amber cargo]

I didn't delete it-

Bro- they hiding the facts!

[silk karma]

hi

[hexed falcon]

anyoen got screenshots of the 25th thing fo rminors

[silk karma]

nope

[small axle]

How

[hexed falcon]

email, persona isnt out yet

[eternal flame]

Abyl, I think I did reach 50 followers milestone before 2026

[candid apex]

is anyone else who uses website getting the “something went wrong” page?

[old wyvern]

mine's fine

[candid apex]

hm strange, probably an issue with my wifi or smth then

[small axle]

Is it reasonable to blame minors for this new update for a C.AI

[pure river]

CAN u verify age yet?

[timber canopy]

No, just wait till you get it

[pure river]

I mean I got that "u got one week" thing

[timber canopy]

Yeah, but the verification isn't out yet

[pure river]

Ahhh that's a pain, they shouldn't roll the one week thing out til the verification is out

I am so very not a minor lol but I have hypermobility so my skin is stretchy so I really hope their ai selfie checker doesnt think I look young

[zinc birch]

like a real-life Stretch Armstrong?

[shut palm]

ngl y’all i might quit c.ai

cuz it’s getting bad fr 🫩

[limpid moth]

why do the chat bots decide so much about your character? like they always assume my character is known for waking up late and waking up early (like I do) is unusual for my character. that and they can't seem to take ships slow. it's like "blushes a bit" then like two messages later it's like your oc is "deeply obsessed with character and can't stop thinking about them"

Also it doesn't know what short light kisses are, it always turns it into a make-out session even for a first kiss

[verbal talon]

ask the bot not to asnd make it a memory by pinning it

[sharp gorge]

-# the bots keeps wanting my oc to be fragile, small and a crybaby-

[hexed falcon]

no. It's the parents

Parents who don't oversee their children's screen time so they stay up till 4am.

[zinc birch]

Is it the parents' fault, or is it 4AM's fault for being such a pleasant time of day?

[hexed falcon]

My point is more on the fact that they don't sleep on school days as much as the y should

[zinc birch]

I was just joking 😁

[verbal talon]

grass !

[glass hamlet]

Question! Is anyone else’s default C.ai persona changing on its own?

[timber canopy]

Yes, bug. Team are aware

[glass hamlet]

Okay, I just didn’t know, bc I was super confused why my default changed from the one I’ve had it set at for months to one of my brand new ones without me doing anything. Thanks for letting me know!

[sharp gorge]

-# glad the bug didn't reached me yet

[hexed falcon]

Oh sorry. I know people who like mornings

[hexed falcon]

My issue is. I never have bugs. But I get short replies. Id rather bugs man

[pure river]

More like EDS but not, but kinda? All my joints are flexy and I dont have wrinkles even though I'm seemingly old enough to be most of y'all's parent

[heady parcel]

holy shit twinning 🤝

[sharp gorge]

Oh fr
I got long responses, but OUT of story ones

[pure river]

(Anyone under 25 anyhow lol)

[hexed falcon]

Girl LOL wtf haahah

[pure river]

Yeh am hoping I dont get assumed as a minor lol

[hexed falcon]

Yea I don't have issues with bones either. I'm 23. Until I got my period. Then everything I didn't know could hurtlol

[heady parcel]

praying for you both 🙏😔

[hexed falcon]

But I look young too. That's why I carry my passport everywhere

[pure river]

Like fr fr I'm an old af xennial but ppl keep thinking im lile 25 and im like uhhh pls

[sharp gorge]

Sorry it's out of topic. I just wanna know
When people use girl when talking to someone, is it the same as bro ?

[hexed falcon]

I guess for me it's awkward to say woman lol? So ye

[abstract orbit]

How are they assuming people are minors is it based on your age you put in and your email age maybe?

[sharp gorge]

English is my second language so I can get confused when someone call me girl sorry

[hexed falcon]

That and activity

[hexed falcon]

Youre fine haha. It ain't my first either.

[pure river]

Heck if I know i got that 'u got one week' thing

[verbal rivet]

I haven’t change or made any new persona for a long time

[abstract orbit]

Huh okay, im just concern about like data breaches and stuff I wouldn't mind doing a selfie as long as it wasn't saved

[sharp gorge]

Normally you have low chance to have it. In general cai knows when account are truly above 18

[abstract orbit]

I saw on reddit someone said submit a ticket, not sure if that's the way to go though

[hexed falcon]

It's saved up to a week I think? And persona is trusting. C.ai doesn't have access to them

[abstract orbit]

Oooooo! Then im not all that worried I am worried for others who aren't comfortable with that though

[hexed falcon]

They think c.ai has access to them

Persona is a third party.

[pure river]

The girl/bro thing as a native speaker, I can safely say 'girl' is mostly used by fem ppl and LGBT and bro is usually used by masc ppl? But its a personal preference and they are used interchangeably

[hexed falcon]

I have never. Ever. Heard of that and 100 percent of my friends are from the US

[pure river]

Legit I mainly play with like Hazbin bots

[hexed falcon]

Wild lmao

[sharp gorge]

So you're fine

[hexed falcon]

I only do my own bots

[sharp gorge]

I rage bait Bowser sometimes so I think I might be cooked

[pure river]

Legit just noticing from personal experience: 'girl' is used more also by BIPOC folk and 'bro' by white folks

[hexed falcon]

Huh. I see

[pure river]

Yeh I still got the One Week warning so

[sharp gorge]

Sh#t

[pure river]

Like its very overlapping on the girl/bro thing

[hexed falcon]

I didn't get one

[tulip pollen]

Same here

[hexed falcon]

Nk I gotcha. Just didn't know. It's interesting

[sharp gorge]

Idk when I'll get it and hoping I won't cuz I'm out of the US so...

[hexed falcon]

It'll be global soon so it won't matter

I'm sitting in this grocery shop craving chocolate but nothing looks good man

[sharp gorge]

It's not what I wanted to say. I'm talking about the pop up

[hexed falcon]

Ohhh

[sharp gorge]

I can be pretty goofy in my roleplay that's why

[hexed falcon]

Idk. I think the popup is for those who the app thinks is sminor

[sharp gorge]

True

[hexed falcon]

Imma just go home with two cokes

[sharp gorge]

Wish I had some Monster rn

[pure river]

I mean I dont remember there ever asking for my birthdate

[hexed falcon]

I don't like monsters NGL

[sharp gorge]

Your taste, I don't judge ✌🏻

[hexed falcon]

Goes by your linked account as well

[pure river]

Monster rehab, the yellow one, and the mango punch, are good

[hexed falcon]

Maybe once in a year I take like a red bull

[pure river]

My linked account is my Google email which is probably older than 18 lol

[hexed falcon]

Probably? XD

[sharp gorge]

If there weren't any renovations at my place, I would have gone and bought one

[sharp gorge]

Is red bull good ?

[hexed falcon]

Ya I like it

[sharp gorge]

Alr. Maybe I'll try one

[hexed falcon]

Dude I'm about to give up on grabbing sweets. F my period lol

[sharp gorge]

We're on the same boat 🫩

[hexed falcon]

Haha

Man after the 25th update I think c.ai will heavily improve since they'll have more time for stuff

[sharp gorge]

Hoping there will be new chat style

[hexed falcon]

I really like DS though I think if they improve it again" I'll be so happy

[sharp gorge]

Is it good for drama ?

[hexed falcon]

Adore it

[sharp gorge]

I live for dramatic story

[hexed falcon]

It's my favourite one personally. But it does cost

[sharp gorge]

I'm not cai+

[hexed falcon]

I know. I'm sorry I mean no offense but now that I'm on plus I could never go back

[pure river]

What apps do ppl use and like aside c.ai?

[sharp gorge]

I mean, if I had the money I'd buy cai+ but hum yeah. I need to save money for cosplay

[pure river]

Im plotting a Mammon cosplay lol hear that

[hexed falcon]

My top fav app is one for 18+, I like it more than c.ai even.

[pure river]

That's fair. The only one I know like that isnt even in th app store

[storm raft]

Only one week to go guys...

[hexed falcon]

Also they work great. They fix your issues personally with tickets

[pure river]

What app is it

[small axle]

[hexed falcon]

Lmao we might be talking about the same one. It got removed from app store. Is it spicy?

[pure river]

Yuppp

[small axle]

C.ai

[hexed falcon]

Absolutely adore that app. The dev are doing agresat job fixing issues personally bg making tickets available in their discord

[pure river]

Lol no I mean the one clover was talking about thank

[pure river]

Thats fair its p solid. Ive tried chai before and ehhh

[sharp gorge]

It's another level lmao

[pure river]

It has good points but. Im not good at making bots yet

[sharp gorge]

Btw you have a cool pfp ✨

[small axle]

Bro I’m scared I just use the app to role-play with six kids and a family Genshin impact

[compact tartan]

what's ur fav flavor

[compact tartan]

I would say but there are rules here against promoting other ai services -_- rip

[sharp gorge]

Rosa

[compact tartan]

Nice ^^ i've had that one it's good, my favorite is pipeline punch

[hexed falcon]

Oh thanks! Sorry

[pseudo monolith]

calculator

[hexed falcon]

Spotify

[pseudo monolith]

[sharp gorge]

I've never taste this one !
