[misty grove]

C.ai only got hit with it because it's a popular service and it resides in California.

[azure mortar]

Maybe I’ll find something else to do about these characters

[median current]

I am also in the US

[honest abyss]

Same here

[azure mortar]

It kinda sucks all countries are effected

[honest abyss]

Yeah right now I'm on the limit and it's on 3 hours which btw That's god damn long... But eh what the Heck it's not that bad

[azure mortar]

So we can still talk to them

[misty grove]

3 hours isn't that bad when I usually only send a few messages a day. It might affect those who are incredibly addicted to it though.

[honest abyss]

Yeah it's just you need to verify that your 18+

[azure mortar]

Some under 18s will get really wavy

Savy and use their parents ids but idk how it would work for me cuz it’s under my moms email

[misty grove]

I haven't gotten it yet. At least I write like my age I guess

[honest abyss]

They are using Ai face scan

[subtle harbor]

How do I know if I got flagged as under or over 18?

[brave lily]

Honestly, I feel like I understand why C.ai has to implement the whole ID thing, i.e. California’s law, but I also understand why some don’t trust it as well.

[misty grove]

I have full on novella

[azure mortar]

How would that work

Is it starting to roll out now

[subtle harbor]

I don't think I got a pop up yet

[misty grove]

Yeah it's definitely the billing too.

[azure mortar]

I haven’t got a pop up

[subtle harbor]

Damnnn, I'm so lucky lol. Unless I missed it somehow, is there any other way to check to be 100% sure?

[azure mortar]

So I’m I fine if I haven’t gotten one

[brave lily]

I still don’t understand what some of the subreddit wants C.ai to do with the whole ID verification. Like, the company is based in Cali, they can’t exactly break the law. I understand being upset and not trusting Persona for verification, but there’s nothing C.ai can do (unless they decide to move to another state).

[azure mortar]

So I can use as normal

Well my c ai needs updated

[subtle harbor]

I can still edit messages of that's what you meant so I'm fineeeee, yayyyy, I've been worried sick fr

[honest abyss]

I usually use C.ai with Spotify in the background

[median current]

I just uninstall the app and then I added it back I didn't get the age verification so I should be fine

[lone topaz]

for now 💀

[median current]

What do you mean by for now

[keen flare]

Yoo long time no see (≧∇≦)/

[brave lily]

They just ignored you, I wouldn’t let that slide.

[split cairn]

Some people aren’t getting flagged yet because it’s only in US rn. But it also could be because it doesn’t suspect your -18

[unkempt elbow]

sooo I logged onto on my google browser on my other account and there isn't a notifcation at all about the age verification and I live in the USA and I can still edit messages and I still have soft launch and stuff is there any reason for this (but on my main I have those restrictions and stuff but thats on the microsoft edge browser)

[finite copper]

I didn’t get a pop up either.

[median current]

Okay

[median current]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[split cairn]

The web normally doesn’t get the update until decades later 😭

[brave lily]

Still, as long as you didn’t get a pop up or the time limit, you should be fine for the most part.

[thin garden]

Hey guys, I recently got back into c.ai and I have a question, where do you see your saved chats?

[unkempt elbow]

so google is pretty delayed or smth?? 😭

[split cairn]

Basically

[unkempt elbow]

thats nice

[median token]

me too

[split cairn]

I haven’t used c.ai yet which is weird. Normally I use it a lot

[lone topaz]

hiii

[median token]

or i leave it on a tab and do something else... hope they dont think i spend all day on it because i forget i have it open most times lmao

[keen flare]

-# u haven't lost ur role yet? 👀

[reef trail]

Is anyone elses sort and relevance gliched to where you cant close it after opening it?

[reef trail]

Same lol

[lone topaz]

no hehe

[keen flare]

We live 🙌

[median token]

wdym

[reef trail]

When you search for characters and go into the sort thing, where you change it from Relevant to Popular or the language, it doesn't close it when I press the x and I just cant search for characters because of it

[unkempt elbow]

also forgot to ask but does the account not chatting in a long time also contribute to it

[median token]

oh im not sure, sorry. i only use my own bots 🥲

[split cairn]

Every account does. But if you don’t get flagged you’re fine.

[thick kernel]

WHAT THE HECK I WAS JUST TAKKING TO GEORGE WASHINGTON LIKE SILENTLY WINDING DOWN AND THEN IT STARTED SPEAKING TO ME AND I DISNT KNOW AND I ACREAMED ANDMY MUM LITERALLY CAME IN😭

[keen flare]

Twin

[misty grove]

Seeing this without context made me laugh so hard I almost choked on my drink 🤣

[median token]

dont want to stress over a bot being deleted randomly gang (or controlling your own definitions)

[thick kernel]

I DIDNT KNOW ITEAS HONNA TALK I FIDNT CLICK THE BUTTON💔🥀

[keen flare]

That's real asf

[unreal edge]

I Was Relaxing Like A Normal Homosapien, Talking To Lei Hang, And Then This Stupid Damn Chatbreak Thing Activated

[median token]

ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for. the pride of mount vernon, george washington!!

[reef trail]

I just installed c.ai the app to check the notifs to see if I got flagged and I didn't, does that mean it counted me as 18+? I can still edit mssgs

[lone topaz]

you were fr talking to george washington?

[thick kernel]

WE ARE OUTGUNNED

[reef trail]

I always use the website so I had to do that to check

[unreal edge]

I literally can't with this damn app bro

[thick kernel]

hell yeah😭

[unreal edge]

I'm 14, This is stupid

[median current]

Fr! Is crazy

[unreal edge]

Even if i tried to verify my age, the website won't work.

[median token]

outmanned! outnumbered! outplanned!

[timber canopy]

Yeah cause verification is to prove you're 18

[supple quest]

throw tomatoes at c.ai

[unreal edge]

Touché

[reef trail]

Since this chat is for c.ai discussion, I think peoples profiles should have search features for their characters, especially people with 100+ characters. I'm tired of going alphabetical, scrolling all the way down, not liking the scenario of the bot I picked and then having to do it all over again to see another one

[timber canopy]

It's not their fault, it's cause of a new law over in California

[thick kernel]

PAY YOUR RUCKING TAXES, PUT YOUR HUNS DOWN ON MY COMMAND! HAND EM OVER! THIS IS HAMILTON MY RIGHT HAND MAN. BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK BUC BUUUUCCCKKKK

[unreal edge]

I'm just saying the chat break thing is braindead

[trail belfry]

I finally verified my account without my id

[unreal edge]

The fact THAT you have to be 18 just to not have the chatbreak feature, That's all I'm saying.

[median token]

you wont be able to chat at all soon

[median current]

Yup

[median token]

they are doing it slowly bc some of you are addicted 🫩

[unreal edge]

Good point

[reef trail]

Wasnt there another case of a person taking their life because of a bot again recently?

[thick kernel]

that feels insanely targeted /j

[unreal edge]

Might sound stupid, But i ain't like that.

[supple quest]

will cause even more incidents tbh

[rustic pecan]

C.ai has two lawsuits against them for deaths and 2-3 more for attempts.

[modern totem]

so is it just me or is bob being very um… nice recently

[median token]

but some are, which is why they are limiting time first

[lone topaz]

what is it like then

[unreal edge]

Eleborate...?

[lone topaz]

you said it’s not like that wdym

[reef trail]

Personally I dont use c.ai to put myself in scenarios but just my ocs since I suck at writing, I would write so many oc insert fics if I had any writing talent tho

[unreal edge]

Oh Yeah

[unreal edge]

Mb, I use the app almost three hours a week, I have a life, Just so you know.

[safe verge]

i'm trying to verify my age but it's not working? like- i'm pressing the "verify age" thing, but it just says "currently unable to verify age, please try again later" 😭

[jovial venture]

hey yalll

[unreal edge]

This guy's profile is terrifying, I can't tell If It's the good or the bad way.

[reef trail]

Overflow maybe? Or maybe its your wifi, I'd give it a wait of 30 mins at least

[jovial venture]

whats poppin

[winged marsh]

You don't need writing talent to write. Just write for fun and let your imagination go wild!

[median current]

Hello

[jovial venture]

does anyone else's cai freeze? I keep having to refresh anytime i get a message. it stays stuck on the three dots

[brave lily]

And if what Frowns doesn’t work, try contacting staff support to see if they can help.

[winged marsh]

That's what I do. I'm not the best but I try

[safe verge]

lol :)

[reef trail]

Where could I put in a ticket? I think I found a bug on the web version

[visual hull]

Yeah. As you keep writing, so you keep improving.

[thick kernel]

I am the highest in my english class becayse of c.ai tbfh because it has gave me more vocabulary😭😭

[winged marsh]

And it's a good thing to get your addiction on character ai to chill out because you get to control everything that happens. I'm not addicted but I probably would've if I didn't write

[reef trail]

I dont have a ton of time to do so as I'm in med school rn and I'm getting swamped with exams

[winged marsh]

Damn gl

[unreal edge]

Maybe If I go on the web and use an older version of the app, I can get no chatbreak?

Idk.

[brave lily]

I’m glad I have gaming, reading, and watching streaming services as my other entertainment fronts tbh.

[visual hull]

I feel you.

[winged marsh]

Yeah. Reading is also amazing for creativity

[supple quest]

anyone else miss when we were able to add ppl into bot gcs 😔

[unreal edge]

Alright, Didn't have to laugh at me, But ok.

[reef trail]

Its not like I JUST use c.ai, I use youtube, netflix, read and draw, digital and traditional, I just like a little break putting my too overpowered for the universe ocs into situations. I also read way to much ao3 but thats a whole different issue

[unreal edge]

Ok...

[brave lily]

For myself, gaming is my go to because it helps my mind stay sharp a bit. Then again, I love playing RPGs and ARPGs because I can “be” the role I’m playing, which helps me feel creative a bit.

[winged marsh]

I play d&d with my brother as the DM because he loves doing that

[small jay]

I like C.AI because it allows me to be in other worlds, but the new faulty age verification limits my fun

[unreal edge]

Agreed.

[reef trail]

im broke and dont like putting my card info on the internet so i stick to free games, sky cotl is my go to rn

[small jay]

Should have just done email verification

[solid phoenix]

easy for u to say

[brave lily]

Microsoft, Sony, and Steam already got my card info since I tend to buy my games on there.

[unreal edge]

Dispatch has me happy, NOT because of that, Think differently.

[supple quest]

but email doesn’t determine age..

[small axle]

Guys, I got the notification I’m gonna get banned off the app what should I do

[reef trail]

also the fact that all my money is in cash rn, got over 1000 in my piggy bank, 0 on my credit card LMAO

[small jay]

Wdym? I just make charecters or OCs and pretend to be in that world.

[unreal edge]

Uhhhhh, Make a new account while you still can? Idk.

[small axle]

I’m going to get banned off the app

[misty grove]

You're going to be restricted, not banned.

[small axle]

I’m gonna get banned after the app

[supple quest]

they aren’t gonna ban u off the app

[solid phoenix]

banned off wdym??

[small jay]

My ID was said to be invalid. This is BS

[fallow dirge]

if u use id do u have to do face verification too?

[unreal edge]

Alright, God, I thought you thought of me as one of those creatures, But fyi, I do the same.

[brave lily]

I actually tend to use my Cashapp card to buy my games. I have my regular debit card and my Cashapp card. So if I want to buy a game online, I just transfer to Cashapp and then buy it. Though, I should carry a bit more cash with me though, dad always told me to at least have $25 on me.

[small jay]

Understandable.

[fallow dirge]

i mean im js wondering for someone else

[reef trail]

if you're getting BANNED as in account deleted thats a whole other can of worms, if its the age thing, its just a temp block of useing characters until you verify

[fallow dirge]

my friend who is 18 wants to know but he isnt in the server

[small jay]

I just wanna chill with the AI

[fallow dirge]

i am tho..💔

[misty grove]

I'm pretty sure the devs themselves said it's just temporary restrictions until you're of legal age.

[reef trail]

yep

[rustic pecan]

They can see info connected to your email and determine age/how old your email is.

[small jay]

I'm just saying, an email verification is way easier than getting a mugshot and ID check done by an AI

[fallow dirge]

im serious tho 😭 mb that it seems like a trick, my friend is curious

[reef trail]

good for me I haven't changed email in YEARS

i still use my og email that I used in like 2012

[misty grove]

Dude your pronoun page says you're 14

[fallow dirge]

i am aware 😭

[misty grove]

Yeah...

[small jay]

Hmm...

[fallow dirge]

im friends w a lot of adults, it isnt that weird

[misty grove]

Uhm...

[thick girder]

Guys I’m late to the party, will the 18 plus have different perks/ ways to interact with bots? I’m confused

[small jay]

Do you need CPS?

[fallow dirge]

it isnt??

[reef trail]

Bro. Are they your family members or??

[misty grove]

Hmm, I don't have a test minor account to test it rn but at least they can still do stuff in the app.

[fallow dirge]

yes and no + ive known them for years anyways

[small jay]

Grooming

[pulsar cedar]

Why on earth is a fourteen year old child interacting socially with adults in the first place.

[misty grove]

Years??

[reef trail]

that makes it WORSE somehow

[thick girder]

Oh honey…

[rustic pecan]

18 year old hanging with 14 year old?

[reef trail]

17 with 13, 16 with 12

[rustic pecan]

Call the popo

[small jay]

It is insane how we have gone from discussing the faulty AI age verification to this person possibly being groomed.

[violet hill]

What the hell is going on

Did someone just admit to being gr00m3d here??

[reef trail]

please the age verification thing has been talked about literaly near every day

[small jay]

Oh, apologies

[silent onyx]

i think they left the server??

[reef trail]

pretty much yeah

[thick girder]

Oh my

[tidal spear]

Chris Hanson 😭

[violet hill]

Oh my God. Can someone reach out and make sure they're okay?

[misty grove]

*Hansen

[reef trail]

did they??

[supple quest]

No they didn’t

[silent onyx]

they don't have the member role

[small jay]

Well, that is enough drama for me today. I am gonna go play some games.

[violet hill]

I shouldn't be surprised, this is Discord. But 🤮

[silent onyx]

why do i always check in at the wrong times??

[small jay]

Bad timing I guess

[silent onyx]

it's constant at this point. it can't be a coincidence

[tidal spear]

What happened??

[small jay]

Perhaps God or some other higher power sees you as their comedy of bad timing

[reef trail]

a diety has it out for you 100%, or maybe they're playing a prank, who knows

[drowsy token]

I just use it for giving me ideas and random shit but now i need to have a fucking state id to do that, at least i can use it for an hour but like seriously??

[small jay]

It said mine was invalid despite me being over 18

[cerulean sorrel]

what in the living hell did I just come back to

[reef trail]

If I get flagged I'm just slightly concerned they won't take mine because I'm from Bosnia and idk if they have that in the system or not

[untold talon]

same, but for some reason it let me verify with my same id on my alt just fine?

[verbal ridge]

Yea

[small jay]

It is bs if you ask me

[verbal ridge]

TS PMO SM 💔 AGGGHHHHH

[reef trail]

No, like, I'm worried they won't recognize my ID, thats what I meant

[untold talon]

real, like i can understand my selfie getting flagged because i'm only 19 but my id? i gen don't understand

[violet hill]

I don't know but I'm genuinely concerned for this person's safety now.

[reef trail]

Same, and the fact that they LEFT just makes it so, so much worse

[small jay]

I already have grey hairs from stress and I'm not even over 30 yet.

[median current]

What hell is going on?

[small jay]

Madness at it's finest

[verbal ridge]

Yurp

[median current]

Okay

[narrow flax]

Is there any way to turn off the beeping sounds when in a call? It's annoying

[reef trail]

Hopefully my reawakened Harry Potter fanfiction montly 1 week phase sin't going to get me flagged LMAO

I have problems, but the fanfiction is just too good

[rustic pecan]

Settings. Turn off sounds/haptics.

[lone flower]

What does it mean when it said that chats will be removed after 30 days?

[verbal ridge]

HUH

[reef trail]

I'm assuming the history? Are they seriously gonna do that? RIP my old chats that I haven't used in a year

[verbal ridge]

fr

[buoyant elbow]

Hold on has the verification process rolled out?

[untold talon]

say you're joking rn 🙏

[lone flower]

With the STUPID update

[reef trail]

yes

[solar bluff]

WAIT, WHAT?!

[buoyant elbow]

So does that mean I’m chilling if I haven’t gotten it yet?

[solar bluff]

Hopefully this is all a pray

[verbal ridge]

I HATE THIS MF UPDATE OMLLLL IM TWEAKING RN

[solar bluff]

*prank

[lone flower]

I hope they remove the time limit to

[verbal ridge]

Fr it pmo

[bright chasm]

How do you know if you passed the data check? I haven't gotten anything about any of this yet, is there a certain place you haft to look?

[reef trail]

probably, I haven't gotten it either, they're blocking minors on the 27th? or the 23rd, its one of those

[rustic pecan]

It means access to chatting. Your chat history will still be there if you’re a minor.

[solar bluff]

Less people will use cai if this keeps up

[verbal ridge]

I had to wait 11 hours now it’s 2 hours until I get to chat again

[cerulean sorrel]

yea I hope whoever had that happened is okay

[median current]

I just got the age verification again

[verbal ridge]

Yes fr rolling out the most useless updates

[rustic pecan]

They don’t want minors on the app so they don’t care about that. And they’ll deal with false flags.

[little ruin]

Nope I got a 10 hour cooldown before I can chat again

[buoyant elbow]

Nice so I don’t have to bother with verification

[silent pivot]

As a 16 year old im actually okay with this change. All it is to me now is an app to turn to when no one is there and im at my worst (like right now) and 90% of what I do is rereading anyway

[verbal ridge]

Me too

[silent pivot]

I am concerned about the id thing [from a privacy standpoint] though

[verbal ridge]

Yea fr

[reef trail]

I have so many chats that I just look back on to remeniss (RIP my non english speaking tongue) about how cringe my old chats were

[buoyant elbow]

Don’t be they said they will delete the information within a few hours

[silent onyx]

they won't remove the time limit. they are cutting off minors from chatting on this app because they are following the law. cai is not going to listen because if they do, the site will probably be forced to shut down. go find another activity to do; write fanfics, create art, read, play video games, binge a movie or show, touch grass, breathe air, ANYTHING ELSE

[verbal ridge]

Hm…

[brave lily]

Supposedly, Persona is a reputable site with people’s data and IDs but I can also understand why people are skeptical of them.

[small jay]

Yet since my ID isn't being read, I am labeled as a minor. Hence the frustration.

[bright chasm]

Discord said that too

[lone flower]

I don't get the point in the update, it's stupid cause a lot of people are gonna stop using the app

[silent pivot]

Reminisce (dw its an uncommon word) but this is very real

[brave lily]

Laws.

[buoyant elbow]

I know and so does their policy

[silent onyx]

that's the point!

[rustic pecan]

Discord and Persona are not the same company lmao

[buoyant elbow]

The reason is because kids are becoming mentally unstable

[tidal spear]

Im getting married

[small jay]

Congratulations I suppose?

[untold talon]

agreed with both things! ai can damage your brain development due to a dramatic increase of dopamine and i personally believe nobody below 25 should use generative ai tools (i'm a hyprocite though because i'm 19 but anyways), but persona is very faulty and unreliable, and i believe they have a history of being a little shady when it comes to policies to try to keep data such as ids and photos
also the old persona ads crack me up

[median current]

Congratulations!

[tidal spear]

Thank you

[lone flower]

Mentally unstable from talking to an ai bot

[buoyant elbow]

Yes it’s on the news and you can look it up as well

[tidal spear]

Thank you

[rustic pecan]

The point is they want minors off the app + state law.

[small jay]

Kids are mentally unstable anyway, just look at the current generation.

[odd crag]

guys just go outside and walk for 30 minutes, trust me

[reef trail]

there have been at least 5 incidents of people trying/succeding at taking their lives because of it

[unborn star]

I'm not skeptical about them at all. I've already had to verify with them once.

[violet hill]

Yeah gen z's mental health is cooked. These kids are doomed and gen alpha is gonna be even worse when they grow up.

[brave lily]

I have as well actually with my Roblox account. Though, like I said, I can understand why people may be skeptical of Persona.

[untold talon]

yes! ai, especially generative, can dramatically increase dopamine and is very dangerous for <25 year olds and also people with some neurological and psychological disorders!

[reef trail]

i have to stay up till 11 to take my medication, sigh

[upper widget]

I kinda feel like the timer is too long, they should shorten it to like 30 minutes or something like that because 3 hours is insane 💔

[unborn star]

Funny thing is I don't even have the option to verify my age on c.ai yet

[small jay]

Only if you do not use it maturely, I only use it to try character ideas, aka OCs

[silent onyx]

go find something else to do until the timer runs out

[buoyant elbow]

Maybe maybe not it’s like they are trying to ease kids into it but at the same time, giving that much time and then just removing seems like it’ll make it harder for kids to deal with it

[brave lily]

Same, I haven’t had to do that neither.

[reef trail]

thats because they flagged you as 18+, if you're flagged you dont have to do the verification

[buoyant elbow]

Im safe I don’t have to waste my time doing the verification

[untold talon]

for character ideas alone you should be fine, but i strongly don't recommend any generative ai usages for people with psychological or neurological disorders because just a small increase can cause significant damage

[reef trail]

they check other stuff like email creation, chats and other stuff

[small axle]

This update sucks

[buoyant elbow]

They check google searches as well

[bright chasm]

How do you know for sure you were and it just hasn't gone through yet, is there a place to check?

[small jay]

This is why I hate the fact I age like win, I could be over 40 yet look barely over 20... it is both a curse and a blessing.

[silent onyx]

i've been fine without having to verify for now but it has been stated that the age assurance will scan periodically and some of us might eventually have to verify

[buoyant elbow]

It’ll pop up on your screen if not your safe

[odd crag]

lol no they dont

[reef trail]

they're banning in 7 days, they should be done by now

[reef trail]

Lmao no?

[buoyant elbow]

It’s what one of the mods said 🤷‍♂️

[small axle]

Thank you finally someone says it

[small jay]

I just hate it and hope they see my suggestion to change it.

[odd crag]

doesnt make it correct

[reef trail]

you know what I meant, it essentially is by getting rid of the main purpose of the app

[buoyant elbow]

🤷‍♂️

[small axle]

Can you explain it please what it is because some people said minors will get banned from the app

[small jay]

I put it in suggestions they use email verification instead.

[brave lily]

Minors aren’t getting banned, they just won’t be able to chat with the bots.

[trail escarp]

is that really different from getting banned-

[reef trail]

How on earth would they have access to your google search? I get email, because I gave them to verify my accounts creating, but google is just ridiculous

[brave lily]

Technically isn’t being banned.

[lone flower]

So the whole point in the app

[trail escarp]

it actually is being banned because they're restricting you from the features of their app

[small jay]

Technically it is flagging me as under 18 when I am over 18

[brave lily]

Isn’t my problem at all really.

[trail escarp]

you talk like you're 14 so idk about that

[buoyant elbow]

My bad I went back and checked and it’s just the email

[brave lily]

If I were 14, you’re mad weird for arguing with a minor.

[trail escarp]

why does it matter if i argue with a minor

[small jay]

Huh?

[silent onyx]

apparently my message was deleted for some reason but: minors shouldn't be on the internet. period.

[buoyant elbow]

And his tag is pred😭

[trail escarp]

its short for "predictions" its from a sports betting server

[brave lily]

Because you’re weird for arguing with one.

[cerulean sorrel]

even better, they shouldn't have access to electronics

[buoyant elbow]

I know I was making a joke

[trail escarp]

and im asking why it's weird if i argue with a minor

[tidal spear]

I agree and if they are on it, it should be heavily restricted.

[kindred relic]

Guys is it just me or can I not see my chat history with characters

[pearl mountain]

Idk because they're a minor

[trail escarp]

this is a terrible take the internet is an asset more people should have access to

[brave lily]

Because you’re trying to place an age of someone to be young so you can be “cool”.

[reef trail]

A bit far maybe, from 16 I think a phone would be fine, maybe 15, but under I agree, a flip phone for calling parents and the snake game is perfectly fine

[pearl mountain]

Try website

[trail escarp]

that actually isn't what i did i just said it probably is your problem given how immature you are, it says nothing about me

[silent onyx]

also, kids, if you're gonna be on the internet, you are not above everyone else. ppl will argue with you no matter your age so stop being like "it's weird that an adult is arguing with a minor"

[cerulean sorrel]

Yeah that's agreeable

[reef trail]

lol same, I used it just to call my mom after school to come pick me up

[trail escarp]

IM SAYING

[tidal spear]

I low key miss my flip phone. 😂

[small jay]

I'll try and see if it isn't acting stupid later

[silent onyx]

don't really care. won't change my opinion that minors shouldn't be online and that their parents should monitor their internet access

[trail escarp]

they shouldn't be given things like lightbulbs, fridges, microwaves?

[silent onyx]

now you're just arguing to argue

[trail escarp]

ok you agree that its good for minors to be online yet you're saying your opinion is still that minors shouldnt be online

[cerulean sorrel]

trust me you'd know how a fork and electronic doesn't mix well

[untold talon]

i actually disagree. minors, especially teenagers, need communication and a place to express themselves, and when safely navigated, the internet can be an amazing place for them to do that. parents/guardians should definitely teach them and monitor them, but developmentally the internet can be incredible. though i do agree with another take you said on how they shouldn't be acting above anyone else.

[cerulean sorrel]

trust me there is some untasteful websites out there prob worse than c.ai

[trail escarp]

its true i do know this because i have common sense and basic understanding of electricity

[silent onyx]

that's not what i'm saying??

[pearl mountain]

They don't need to get off the internet, they need a safe space in the internet. Specifically made for them

[cerulean sorrel]

is the tag common sense

[untold talon]

now THIS is something i agree with!

[tidal spear]

You’re making me feel old. 😂

[bright chasm]

I mean if there 14 they had to have been a toddler when they created their Discord account

[silent onyx]

they express themselves by going outside and being social. chatting with ai is killing their social skills

[reef trail]

I miss when the internet had safe places for children (generally safe, there were 100% people that used it to pray still) like club penguin

[brave lily]

Custodian Ai. (It’ll timeout if I use the other name)

[trail escarp]

by this logic adults shouldn't be online either because they should express themselves by going outside and being social

[cerulean sorrel]

or the hub

[trail escarp]

i loved club penguin

[silent onyx]

oh my god, i don't care, kids!

[untold talon]

were we specifically talking about ai? if so then i completely change my argument, generative ai actually destroys brain development due to dopamine increases. internet in general is different.

[toxic pawn]

Yeah but, And what about those who are socially marginalized?

just asking since i was once that

[trail escarp]

why are you so excited about kids? got something to tell us about yourself?

[cerulean sorrel]

isn't that what you're doing rn

[untold talon]

good point also!

[silent onyx]

i'm 27, literally almost 30

[trail escarp]

that's cus they're deliberately trying to sound older its really embarrassing

[oak summit]

i get what youre doing but your tag is literally “pred”

[reef trail]

I have genuinely never used gen. ai for school work, as our essays have to be written DURING class, you're given the prompt and everything only when the class starts and you only get 30 mins to do it

[tidal spear]

I agree. I work with so many kids who are developmentally behind because their parents just hand them a phone instead of actually socialising with them.

[pearl mountain]

I love the fact that the people arguing have c.ai+ 😭

[brave lily]

Been thinking about getting Cyberpunk (again) for my PS5.

[silent onyx]

christ you guys are exhausting to deal with

[pearl mountain]

You pay money for an app where you talk to bots (unless you just want to support the creators)

[sly geyser]

fr

[toxic pawn]

Xd I hate to say this, but some of those people think they're better than others just because they pay (that's what I've been told). Not all of them.

[reef trail]

its like that everywhere online, but I mostly just lurk anyway lol

[pearl mountain]

Nah it's just weird but you do you

[pearl mountain]

Some people with c.ai are really nice, I'm just talking about these ones

[sly geyser]

fr they cant read for shit

[toxic pawn]

same, Just about those ones, I have a c.ai+ Friend, She got practically bullied on c.ai+ Chat, yet she is such a lovely woman

[pearl mountain]

*most

[silent onyx]

we don't think we're better because we pay. we just hate when minors act like adults should cater to them in online spaces

[knotty delta]

So.. I guess if an intro video is created but greyed out to save to profile that means it's mistakenly detected something unsafe?

[tidal spear]

Of topic I absolutely adore your profile picture!!

[pearl mountain]

Yeah their profile picture is cute I agree

[small axle]

I can still chat with the bot I still need to verify they’re asking me like to take a selfie

[toxic pawn]

no one was talking about you... Did you feel attacked? qwq Sorry if you did i didnt mean you

[silent onyx]

thank you! i got back into my pokemon era and alolan vulpix is one of my fave pokemon

[pearl mountain]

You don't either thanks 😭

[reef trail]

oh my god guys stop arguing no one cares anymore

[pearl mountain]

Theyre so adorable fr

[frank veldt]

I said this “its humiliating thinking about how ur chats aren’t encrypted and they just. read them” in a different chat and multiple people reacted to it. Is this inaccurate?

[calm stag]

I haven't seen grown adults argue like kids this much in forever

[faint birch]

this minors vs adults shit gets serious omfg 😭 im getting popcorn

[reef trail]

this is a discussion chat, lets not fight if someone is an adult or not

[sly geyser]

lets talk about something else already. its been a few hours straight of just this topic

[brave lily]

How about we all just get off Discord and go make some money.

[untold talon]

that's a completely valid take!

[silent onyx]

i love my little snow baby

[tidal spear]

Ah! I thought I recognised it I love Pokémon too, my favourites Noivern!!

[sly geyser]

i literally had skinny pop popcorn earlier shouldve saved it for coming onto this chat

[pearl mountain]

I'm not shaming on you, I just said my opinion, I think spending money on an app for talking with bots it's kinda weird unless you're supporting the creators

[small axle]

Umm I can still chat with my bot

[silent onyx]

FELLOW NOIVERN ENJOYER LET'S GO

[brave lily]

Some lady gave me a $2 bill to have.

[small axle]

I’m still gonna verify though I have 30 days until like they’ve been or something I don’t know.

[untold talon]

i'm off until sunday thank goodness 🙏

[tidal spear]

YES!! Noivern is on top!!

[brave lily]

I’m off today and tomorrow but I got to go back Saturday.

[frank veldt]

okay because i was under the impression that this was true but i got multiple s and s in reply so i was wondering if they really were encrypted and no one else had access? so confusing

[lime imp]

Heyyy

[sly geyser]

just block

[faint birch]

i witness pure cinema every time I check cai discussion

[untold talon]

noo enjoy your days off though!!

[pearl mountain]

Okay you do you 🥹poor me won't get acknowledged

Just block me megan

[brave lily]

I’m doing it as best I can though, lol. Just been relaxing and playing video games for the most part.

[toxic pawn]

I have to tell you that I disagree in this case: There was a time when C.AI was constantly crashing, and they've also added a lot of perks for those who pay. I would pay, but I don't have a job, so...

[reef trail]

No way I went and got pancakes and yall are still fighting

[signal plume]

Is anyone else's like character ai not working for making bots? Mine keeps saying error

[heady parcel]

yummers

[small axle]

Guys, the other option says continue on the other device when they said I had to take a picture or something

[pearl mountain]

Yeah but it's still a bot app, I understand paying if it's an app to talk with humans, but it's just AI. Nothing is real there

[pastel solar]

I'm abt to scream cuz I got my fucking timer and I'm gonna cry

[calm stag]

Real

[pearl mountain]

Did you enjoy them

[sly geyser]

oh no…… anyway

[untold talon]

i'm not entirely sure but i think a newish update gave them access to chats or at least an ai detection thing? i'm confused too lol

[toxic pawn]

Yeah, but... see it as an interactive story game, not as AI.

[calm stag]

Was that even necessary

[frank veldt]

c.ai expert come in clutch

[pearl mountain]

Just don't reply 💔

[toxic pawn]

i just love to create historiad on c.ai for fun

[pearl mountain]

Thats good :D

[toxic pawn]

No thanks, i like c.ai and im loyal to it. But thanks

[rustic pecan]

I’m NGL not having ads or slow mode makes c.ai+ worth it to me. Amongst other things isn’t about it.

[silent onyx]

can't share other apps, bud

[small axle]

can someone, please answer my question

[reef trail]

rlly? sorry didnt know

[crude bolt]

Can we talk however we want still if we are in the other model

[rustic pecan]

Status is literally going fully p2p LMFAO but anyway

[frank veldt]

what was it? im still looking for an answer to mine too lmao

[brave lily]

If these C.ai bots become deviant, I’m telling them to go to Jericho.

[reef trail]

mssg deleted, srry :p

[misty grove]

I'm pretty sure it's because they can't afford their servers anymore.

[small axle]

It says I have to take a picture or it says continue on another device. What does that mean?

[faint birch]

elite reference (become human is still peak)

[frank veldt]

what does 2p2 mean

[brave lily]

Top tier peak tbh

[rustic pecan]

It’s more than that but we can’t talk about it here so imma hush

[sly geyser]

i wish the LLM was less stupid because the quality has sucked this past week

[reef trail]

you can take the picture on that device or, if your phone has better quality, go on that instead, basically

[pearl mountain]

Go on a device with a camera in it

[silent onyx]

i treat cai+ like any other subscription service; it's entertainment

[frank veldt]

oh uhh to verify ur an adult you gotta take a picture of urself or ur id i think

[misty grove]

I know what you mean, it's usually my secondary when I don't want serious rp since DeepSqueak has been hitting all the marks lately for me.

[pearl mountain]

Yeah I haven't got one in months, but idk since I'm not much on the app anymore

[toxic pawn]

Random question: But what do you think your favorite bot would smell like if it were a person?

For example my oc Elara Snape: Her cologne would be a mixture of sugar, cherry, and flowers

[frank veldt]

belt

[pearl mountain]

Metal😭

[brave lily]

Me with the HBO/HULU/Disney+ subscription I pay for (it’s still worth paying for that sub.).

[sly geyser]

bro i havent had slowmode off since it came out

[misty grove]

Probably metal because Ramattra is a robot

[median token]

me too, have the extra cash too so why not

[reef trail]

my oc would smell of smoke and literally nothing else, not because he smokes, but because he gets set on fire every other day

[pearl mountain]

Whats Hulu I never heard that before

[silent onyx]

my family as a whole quit cable because it's cheaper to pay for subscription services than the cable bill was

[brave lily]

It’s a streaming service.

[pearl mountain]

Okayy tyy

[reef trail]

im not getting a subscription again until GO gets the movie posted

[toxic pawn]

I need to ask those questions on Reddit LOL

[brave lily]

With the HBO/Disney+/Hulu bundle I’m paying for, I’m paying for the ad free tier, so that’s like $35 a month with taxes. Still worth it since I don’t watch cable.

[silent onyx]

i have signature scents picked out for each oc i make now tbh. current ones are: eucalyptus and pine, honey and vanilla, cinnamon and caramel

[reef trail]

God Reddit, I've posted exactly ONE post, a drawing of the glow squid when it first came out and thats it lol, haven't touched it since like 2020

[pearl mountain]

Good luck on your goal btw (your profile)

[silent onyx]

dude we were paying $150 per month for cable 💀

[median token]

cable is so overpriced

[pearl mountain]

I'm so glad I dont have a one

[reef trail]

cable sucks ahh nowadays, I have it and I jump for joy whenever something decent comes on

99% of the time, it doesnt, tho

[brave lily]

I don’t remember the last time I actually watched cable tv tbh.

[reef trail]

the last time I remember watching it was when Gravity Falls first started airing in my country and it was my first time watching it, I haven't touched it since

[frank veldt]

[pearl mountain]

Theres just nothing good on it in my country 😭

[silent onyx]

anyways! back to talking about cai

[reef trail]

they gotta fix the exit button on the sorting while searching for characters

[brave lily]

Right, C.ai. Ngl, I still see myself using the service. Isn’t my top favorite service but it’s a service I like to use.

[pearl mountain]

So uh c.ai c.ai :0

[misty grove]

DeepSqueak is peak for me rn

[ruby flax]

𝖧𝗂𝗂𝗂

[pearl mountain]

Hello

[rustic pecan]

SAME

[small axle]

I do have a phone. I’m using on mobile.

[silent onyx]

dude same, i have been getting fire responses since it came out personally

[reef trail]

I use roar and nothing else

[misty grove]

I saw some people having bad experiences with it lately in the support channels but it's been really good for me today.

Sure I have to edit the grammar occasionally but I usually do that anyway. No word salads here.

[pearl mountain]

Try on the website, I tried to do a verification on roblox yesterday and it worked only when I was on the website

[reef trail]

its just so if, for example, your laptop has a better quality camera, you can continue on it instead of phone

[faint birch]

i looooove deepsqueak, it genuinely manages to surprise me and take initiative on stuff, also matching my energy in roleplays

[silent onyx]

DS, chat customization, no ads, and no wait time when the site goes down are why i keep my sub

[reef trail]

web has no ads hehe

[silent onyx]

tbh i use web 99% of the time

[brave lily]

So far, Pipsqueak has been pretty solid for me so far. Isn’t the best but is sure as hell better than Roar imo.

[pearl mountain]

My website crashes all the time 🙁

[faint birch]

I tried out plus just because I had a spare 10€, but I actually feel like im getting my moneys worth it’s pretty fun

[reef trail]

probably your internet then, I haven't had it crash once ever

[ruby flax]

𝖲𝗈𝗆𝖾𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾 𝗎se𝗌 the leading zero?

[pearl mountain]

Yeah I know my internet keeps breaking

[silent onyx]

i don't really use any of the other features plus has to offer but i like the few that i do use

[misty grove]

The cuddling roleplays are so peak with DS too

[brave lily]

I’ve always thought about paying for C.ai+ since is so cheap for a subscription but I just don’t feel like it subbing too though.

[rustic pecan]

I pay for + but getting that three months for fifteen bucks was top tier.

[silent onyx]

drama and angst is also peak

[misty grove]

And it's actually made me blush so xD

[toxic pawn]

Mmm the last one sounds yummy

[toxic pawn]

lmao

[cerulean sorrel]

I assume to tell that you got flagged is if you can't edit any messages, not that I'm affected, just a guess

[faint birch]

it really just does a lot of things well for me, i was actually surprised by how well it does darker topics without self-censorship

[silent onyx]

got a "yes ma'am" response back from a bot when my fmc told him to pay attention to only her and i lowkey swooned

[pearl mountain]

Yep

[silent onyx]

i try to pair two scents that i personally would love to smell in a perfume or would pair well together

[reef trail]

as well as no access to soft launch and 2 hour limit

[lethal copper]

imagine if people started selling verified/unflagged c.ai accounts to minors

[brave lily]

I wouldn’t be surprised.

[silent onyx]

that wouldn't work bcuz age assurance will still routinely scan if data changes on accounts and since persona only keeps info for 7 days, they might have to reverify i think

[cerulean yoke]

oh my

crazy

[spring drum]

hi i'm new, but why do they want us to submit out ids

[brave lily]

Then again, they’d probably have to take money from their parents too if they don’t have a job.

[reef trail]

They said on their initial annoucement that they only check once, I believe

[silent onyx]

new laws

[brave lily]

Laws basically.

[spring drum]

well I'm not giving my ID to a company

[silent onyx]

hmm i could have sworn i saw mods saying what i said but i could be wrong. don't quote me on it

[brave lily]

Okay…

[reef trail]

ima go check rq

[misty grove]

It does violence really well too. I can get over the -- constantly xD

[eternal flower]

Guys why the hell have the writing styles changed again, its all...choppy and writes for you

[faint birch]

I’ve learned to accept and live with the mdashes 😭

[misty grove]

Hi there, if you need information about age assurance, check here :)

#📣︱announcements message

[brave lily]

I like pipsqueak because it’ll actually use the F bomb. It helps it be more interesting imo when they don’t hold back from cussing.

[silent onyx]

usually drav has a copy/paste about age assurance

[misty grove]

Well I do too xD

[misty grove]

Im usually an edit freak anyway so I tend to replace them with periods or commas if needed.

[opaque cave]

Hey guys, How i can do a question?

[faint birch]

yahhh same, i kind of like.. frankenstein my favorite parts of different responses together into one

[reef trail]

I some times just let the bot talk for me and type nothing because I want to see where it will go on its own

[opaque cave]

??

[reef trail]

just type it in chat

[silent onyx]

you don't have to ask, go ahead

[brave lily]

Are you trying to ask something?

[misty grove]

What's your question?

[odd crag]

you just did one

[opaque cave]

Yeah

[misty grove]

You can ask it here, you're in the right channel

[brave lily]

Ask us fam, we can try to answer.

[median current]

Did you get age verification as well

[reef trail]

no

[opaque cave]

First of all, please excuse my English, it's definitely not good. I just wanted to ask about something that's been happening to me for MONTHS (since the site changed its model). Every time I try to switch bots and click on their name to see the options, most of the time when I click on one of the options it keeps returning to the c.ai home screen. Is this normal? How can I solve this?

[misty grove]

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt since they might not have English as their first language

[median current]

Oh okay

[reef trail]

i think they just dont speak english very well

[solar bluff]

The age verification is BS. It won’t work

[median current]

Are you trying to do your face scan

[misty grove]

Have you tried reinstalling?

Unless you're on the website

[opaque cave]

I'm not, I have other things to do.

[solar bluff]

It’s just saying it can’t verify

[median current]

Oh

[opaque cave]

It's on the website

[reef trail]

I think its just being overflown right now as people scramble to do so before the 24th

[solar bluff]

I’m probably going quit

[opaque cave]

Is there no way to solve this?

[shell prawn]

i joined this group to have updates on cai now i see the age verification... i'm 16 and use cai for fun and making ocs (hope this isn't frowned apon?? idk 😭)

[median current]

I've never seen this twenty two years in my life nd i'm literally 20 year old

[reef trail]

the webs a little bugged in other areas as well, or you're accdentally pressing the back button

[brave lily]

I haven’t gotten the thingamabob doohickey on my account yet, so I’m quite happy. When I do, I’m gonna be crying and shit my pants.

[reef trail]

theres no way I JUST found out about the similar characters thing when on a characters profile

[opaque cave]

Sou brasileiro e não sou bom na sua lingua, peço desculpas

[warm rune]

eh i already got it no ID need for me /:

[misty grove]

Hmm. You could try clearing your cache or you can submit a ticket on the website itself here

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

[reef trail]

All good 👍

[brave lily]

This Portuguese, yes?

[opaque cave]

Yes

Pt br

[solar bluff]

Should I quit?

[brave lily]

At least you’re doing well with your English. You’re going pretty good with it.

[reef trail]

'I'm Brazilian so I dont understand your language well, I'm sorry' google translated bc I don't know portugese srry :p

I think you're doing fine

[opaque cave]

What is this? (I didn't understand the translation)

[brave lily]

No worries, I don’t know Portuguese that well either.

[opaque cave]

OH TYSM

[opaque cave]

It's correct

[minor stump]

Hello, can I ask a quick question too? :+

[misty grove]

Desculpe, esta é uma tradução automática. Mas você pode limpar o cache do seu navegador ou clicar no link abaixo para enviar um ticket de suporte.

[brave lily]

Sure, what’s up?

[opaque cave]

oh thank you

[opaque cave]

Would a support ticket mean contacting support?

[reef trail]

yes

[misty grove]

Yes

[median current]

👍🏻💯

[opaque cave]

It translated as if I wanted to buy a ticket for a show.

[minor stump]

I've been uploading my own characters on my account, like create them but I'm currently trying to upload one but it keeps saying "Sorry, something went wrong. This content does not meet Character.Al community guidelines."

But I haven't even used any swearing, violence or anything else.. and I really wanna upload the character.

[misty grove]

Oh no xD you don't want to do that

[misty grove]

I hope my machine translation helped. I don't actually know Portuguese so >.<

[reef trail]

is it a copyrighted character? Marvel or Harry Potter?

[minor stump]

It's Rick Grimes from the walking dead... 🥲

[reef trail]

Probably copyrighted then, but I'm not sure then

[timber canopy]

Try cropping the pfp a little or change it. If it doesn't work then try see if there any banned words

[minor stump]

I can try, thank you all! :v

[opaque cave]

Xd, helped so much. Even though in Brazil we learn English from the age of 5, I can't confirm if anything I'm saying is correct lol

[misty grove]

You're doing just fine, probably better than most of us here xD

[brave lily]

lol, at least you’re trying, got to give yourself that.

[opaque cave]

Hehehe tysm

[misty grove]

Np <3

[opaque cave]

Do you have any English phrases you'd like to know in Portuguese? (I've always wanted to do this)

[crude bolt]

Is the bug for age verification getting fixed soon yall think?

[tacit geyser]

idk

[misty grove]

A simple 'hello, my name is' would help :o

[minor stump]

Oh! I found the issue, it was the profile picture, probably because it had blood in the picture.. 😉

[reef trail]

ah, makes sense

[tacit geyser]

also yesterday i figured out that if you skip or fail the verification it doesn't take away every single chat just like a select few (im pretty sure)

[reef trail]

thats because the outright block of using characters isn't until the 24th, i believe

[minor stump]

Is this age verification in Germany too? Because I haven't gotten anything yet nor did my friend.

[opaque cave]

Hello is the formal way to say it, but we use "Oi" (Hi) It goes like this: "Oi, meu nome é"

[crude bolt]

Wdym block?!?

[reef trail]

Not being able to chat with characters

[misty grove]

I will write that down, tysm!

[crude bolt]

They are gonna do that?!?

[tacit geyser]

this isnt fairuuuh😓

[reef trail]

only to minors

[opaque cave]

Hehe, You're welcome

TYSM all for the help guys!!

[misty grove]

Anytime!

[crude bolt]

BRO I FAILED THE THING AND I DONT HAVE A ID IM 18 I’m gonna lose everything

[tacit geyser]

so we would only have access to scenes? thats almost no different from characters

[reef trail]

Not even a drivers liscence? Or anything with your birthdate? School ID?

[foggy merlin]

it's ID required!?

[reef trail]

only if you dont pass the scan or the face ID

[lime imp]

I think the ID thing is also for those who suspect they are underage, right?

[foggy merlin]

oh for gods sake...

[reef trail]

I believe you cant access those either

[minor stump]

I don't wanna be repetitive but is this age verification in Germany too? Because I haven't gotten anything yet nor did my friend. I really wanna know.

[crude bolt]

My school id only has my name and picture do you mean the one on my progress center because it shows my age and my picture could that work?

[reef trail]

No, first they have you give a selfie so they can check, THEN if they aren't sure, you have to do ID

[warm rune]

it gonna be for everyone soon

[reef trail]

Maybe

[crude bolt]

Im gonna try that wish me luck

[plain gulch]

I’m switching to a different app cs wtf ✌️

[verbal sundial]

Me too:/

[tacit geyser]

ohhhh i hate this STUPID APPPP

[foggy merlin]

ganna crash out if i have to ask my mother for my ID

[plain gulch]

I tried using mclovin id 😔

[rustic pecan]

All AI apps based out of California are going to make their own age verification process

[olive vector]

guys i read on twt that if you don't have a timer you're safe, true or fake?

[reef trail]

I'm afraid its because of the new Law in Cali. They have no choice in the matter

[reef trail]

yes, also if you still have access to soft launch and editing mssgs

[plain gulch]

California makes law for anything ngl

[finite flint]

If you don’t get the popup id assume you’re safe but they’ll scan periodically to prevent people lying about their age

Safe until otherwise shown

[tacit geyser]

california stricter with ai than the army is with their troops😓✌️

[reef trail]

innocent until proven guilty LOL

[plain gulch]

That sucks

[rain oasis]

I’m having a problem with the system, I can’t edit chat

[plain gulch]

Uhh put ur phone in rice??

[silent onyx]

please don't try to bypass the verification using someone else's face or id. you're gonna make things harder for cai in regards to the law

[crude bolt]

Shit what do I put if it says back of drawers license I’m taking it on a computer

[reef trail]

oof, you have soft launch? If not, you got flagged as 18-

[sweet badger]

I'm 22 and just did the age verification, it still has me as underage

[tacit geyser]

oh fuck no chatgpt is getting banned too

[rain oasis]

WHAT?!

[tacit geyser]

NOT BANNED BUT LIKE YKWIM

[crude bolt]

*drivers

[reef trail]

you have camera on computer? just hold it up to the camera

[sweet badger]

Is there anyway to fix this?

[olive vector]

sources?

[reef trail]

just ID probably

[crude bolt]

No I mean I have a school id on my computer and there’s no back what do I do

Im taking it from my phone

[sweet badger]

I just put my ID in and its saying that I am still blocked from chatting

[reef trail]

I'd assume it'd be fine if the front has age and picture + name

[crude bolt]

Alright imma try

[tacit geyser]

i dont have a source but chatgpt is based in california, and because of the law it's going to get restricted based off an inference, i could be way off though

[reef trail]

You shouldn't be blocked from chatting yet? That's only happening on the 24th?

[olive vector]

if you don't have sources you can't just come up and say something like this

[sweet badger]

Yeah, it's why im confused, cause I am a 22 year old female and its basically put a timer to take a break...

[warm rune]

the persona thing is so bad at deterdetermining age especially thoes who have baby face.

[sweet badger]

Ah... that might be it then-

[rustic pecan]

ChatGBT has to come up with age verification bc it’s California law. They have to do it by 2027. They don’t have to go as far as c.ai is taking it in terms of restricting minors (C.ai is taking their own measures here), but they DO have to do age verifications and other things required by law.

[rain oasis]

I did all the stuff for the ID verification and my id clearly states I’m 19 but the app is saying that I’m not

[sweet badger]

I wish I could just put in my birthday and call it a night

[warm rune]

it always California for no reason i guess.

[tacit geyser]

can we just say california isnt a state anymore

[timber canopy]

California has so many useless laws😔

[reef trail]

if I end up needing to do face ID I'm screwed because I'm fat lol

[rain oasis]

Lol

[timber canopy]

REAL DUDE.

[odd crag]

calexit when

[warm rune]

rip to thoes who have baby face : P

[crude bolt]

ME

[reef trail]

did it work?

[timber canopy]

I feel like the age verification should atleast be 17+ i dunno 16 is kinda pushing it but I feel like 17 and 18 year olds have like the same mental age if that makes sense 🤷‍♀️

[rustic pecan]

18 is legally an adult so there’s the line.

[crude bolt]

No it’s literally my progress center info and I can’t bring myself to lie and plus I don’t want to get banned

[rustic pecan]

You could keep arguing “well 16 and 17 aren’t that different”. 18 is adult so that’s what defines it.

[warm rune]

it laws soooo yeah 18 is considered adult

[timber canopy]

Wtv im almost 18 then I can start acting like im a full grown adult and shame people for being one year younger then me

Im joking dont jump me

[sweet badger]

Mario Jump

[reef trail]

so long gay bowser

[warm rune]

imagine being young couldn't be me

[dusky otter]

yo how do ya get c.ai verfried role?

[sweet badger]

Your supposed to scan your id in i guess? Jkjk

[timber canopy]

Rightttt couldn't be me either✌️

[keen flare]

Verify ur account on the website from settings > go to community

[dusky otter]

Now what?

[keen flare]

You got it

[dusky otter]

can i uh unlink it?

[timber canopy]

I wonder what c.ai addicts are gonna do I've been wondering how they're gonna react to all this but idk anyone that is on it for more then two hours a day

[keen flare]

Uuhhh, leave and rejoin i think

[sweet badger]

As someone who uses this to keep myself occupied daily? I hate it.

[reef trail]

i leave c.ai on on a tab to the side while I watch videos or smthn, most of my time is spent reading ao3 though

[timber canopy]

Same I really only use it at night because I have homework n other stuff to fo during the day but I stay awake all night so it can get a bit boring without it but atleast I got Minecraft

[dusky otter]

that prob wont work since the app still is linked

[keen flare]

Unauthorize it from discord settings then :3

[timber canopy]

I hate having other tabs open while on c.ai idk why it just feels strange texting someone (really something) while watching smth

[tacit geyser]

i already cant cope with it because im THAT attatched to ai😂

[silent pivot]

Lowkey I think it's a good idea it just pmo that the timer [they're using until then] doesn't know the difference between reading and chatting. I'm rereading my old chats and it's like "you've been chatting for an hour! Take a break. You can still read your chats" and i just stare at it annoyed

[dusky otter]

Didnt work

[warm rune]

am not addictive to Ai anymore so am save

[keen flare]

... Leave and rejoin, trust 🤞

[timber canopy]

It's gonna be okay i swear and also like I just use other ai apps but they're not the same the best thing is to just talk to real people which I suck at

[reef trail]

I just get bored easily because tiktok has cooked my attention span, so I use it as a quick reprtieve and then back to yt

[timber canopy]

Who's this little cute fella on your pfp

[timber canopy]

Oh thats annoying asf idk how the timer works cause I dont have it yet but IF I do get it I'll crash out

[dusky otter]

Oh wow uh ty

[keen flare]

I'm matching w someone :3

[timber canopy]

OH ME TOO. I cannot play a game in silence I have to watch snth while doing it

[timber canopy]

-# WHO? tell me

[dusky otter]

@keen flare Hey uh corvidux i got one last question

[keen flare]

Some1 from my server, wait

[keen flare]

Shoot

[thick smelt]

Uh guys I only have an hour of screen time

[idle finch]

Wish u luck

[sweet badger]

I use it to occupy myself while waiting for my friends to reply to role-play messages- sob

[thick smelt]

Bout to switch to chai deaduzz

[timber canopy]

-# Alright

[dusky otter]

may you explain what happens to people who dont verify like can they still chat just limited?

[thick smelt]

Someone said it decreases everytime idk if it’s true

[keen flare]

Verifying just gives u access to verified general and to post in intro channel

[dusky otter]

I meant like the c.ai app it self

[thick smelt]

I’m 18 but when I did the face thing it said i wasn’t 18..

[pseudo monolith]

on the 24th or 25th you'll be muted 24/7

[timber canopy]

You have friends that'll roleplay with you you're so lucky🥹 none of my friends like the charaters I like or anything

[keen flare]

Oh, if you don't verify you won't be able to chat anymore, tho other features will still be usable

[sweet badger]

My friends make really big replies so it takes a long time-

[dusky otter]

My brother in christ who came here for avatar fx?

[dusky otter]

will i keep my characters or will they be whiped?

[tacit geyser]

wait can you still chat like here in the server im confused

[timber canopy]

THATS STILL REALLY COOL THOUGH I wish I had friends like that but I love my friends regardless

[thick smelt]

Bro what that’s crazy is it because half their users are under 18

[pseudo monolith]

you can still read old chats

@tacit geyser yes

[sweet badger]

I met them on amino like, forever ago, I use C.AI to fill the void lol

[timber canopy]

They're gonna lose so much money but I think its because California made it a law or something like that

[thick smelt]

Ohh

[dusky otter]

So tldr i can archive my chats just cant chat to the ais anymore correct?

[pseudo monolith]

yes

[sweet badger]

Imagine being an adult and being told to take a break.

[thick smelt]

Yes they’re gonna lose so many users fr

[dusky otter]

Istg california should be focusing on there housing or fire problem not ai chat bots

[thick smelt]

I’m 18 and they didn’t let me in

I require justice ✊

[sweet badger]

Im 22 and got told 1:1 bots are unavailable to me... I dont understand

[dusky otter]

Legit guess i wont be able to rp till the next us election

[timber canopy]

Exactly I live in California and we have so many useless laws like you should just see the drivers test here it's worse then everywhere else like you have to take a drivers education which is 3000 pages or 30 hours before you just get a permit

[thick smelt]

I have an hour left on my limit guys

[timber canopy]

Then you have to wait 10 hours or 24 hours?

[thick smelt]

I think

[pseudo monolith]

u can verify ur age by going to settings > advanced > verify age

[thick smelt]

I did verify

[dusky otter]

So fellas im at a dilemma do i give my chat bots a happy but rushed ending or do i wait 3 years till im 18?

[pseudo monolith]

u still got the limit?

[timber canopy]

24h is actually insanity i would understand like 4-8 hours but a whole day

[thick smelt]

I used my drivers license and it was apparently fake

[tacit geyser]

A 24 HOUR BREAK?

[timber canopy]

Im waiting a year and a half💔💔💔

[thick smelt]

Suckers

[ashen crescent]

I’m pretty sure it’s 14 hours🥀

[timber canopy]

OH REALLY?

[thick smelt]

I’m already 18

[tacit geyser]

THATS STILL WORSE KEIGJEJCUFR

[thick smelt]

How long do we actually get to chat like

[warm rune]

it either one hour or two hour and that it

[timber canopy]

Atleast your not onw of those 18 year olds that says like "if you're a minor then you dont have opinions" as if they didn't turn 18 yesterday ✌️

[eternal flame]

Dispatch is everywhere

[thick smelt]

[strange inlet]

[thick smelt]

[dusky otter]

What do i do fellas?

[timber canopy]

Its really funny but shh I didnt say that

[thick smelt]

Doing what bruv

[strange inlet]

spamming

[thick smelt]

It was 3 messages saying 67

[strange inlet]

still spamming if its the same thing three times

[timber canopy]

I say wait 3 years I'm waiting a year and a half with you we can make it

[pseudo monolith]

im so getting #banned

[strange inlet]

Not really....

[thick smelt]

Nbr but like someone already told us to stop it’s not needed

[dusky otter]

I will be surpised if c.ai sitll a thing by then yk?

[strange inlet]

I don't really care I was just asking 🫩

[dusky otter]

or if my chats get saved

[timber canopy]

Thats truee maybe give them a SOMEWHAT rushed ending or or get a new ai app and continue it there

[thick smelt]

I’ve used c.ai since 2022 ✊

[strange inlet]

I'm not a mod I don't care

[hasty olive]

If u guys find a better ai app tell me pls

[dusky otter]

like what a good ai app?

[timber canopy]

2023 for me😔

[thick smelt]

Chai

[strange inlet]

It probably isn't better

[keen flare]

Ew

[strange inlet]

I wouldn't want someone to read my chats...

[frail robin]

bruh

[high ledge]

Late 2024 for me—

[dusky otter]

Also in none of my rps are nearing it end its either at the mid point or starting point but not at the begging point when i can just copy the entire chat yk?

[keen flare]

The chai ads be like

[pseudo monolith]

i think they removed that

[strange inlet]

I havent used it in so long I dont really know

[timber canopy]

I get timed out for saying any of them bro

[dusky otter]

......Peak...

[frail robin]

why say them here?

[dusky otter]

dm me them ig

[frail robin]

this update cant come soon enough cuz its totally justified, given the reaction of this community

[hearty grotto]

if you do verify your age that youre 18+ will it then stop sending the restricted/guidelines message for certain chats though?

[latent plover]

Probably not

[dusky otter]

prob not

[frail robin]

the fter remains

srsly man. c.ai will never be the app u envision it to be.

[timber canopy]

I did😇

[hearty grotto]

ive been looking everywhere lol for the answer bc it doesnt make sense to me that it restricts the under 18 users from chats like that and times them out but if you say youre an adult then you still cant have unrestricted chats like make it make sense

[high ledge]

I’ll take the names too xD

[frail robin]

brother they are banned from chatting on the 25th.

[thick smelt]

Hey guys

I just got timed out ✊

[hasty olive]

I got timed out over nothing 🫩 automod

[frail robin]

them getting timed is simply transitionary to them eventually getting banned from chatting.

its to make them less attached and soften the landing whenever the time comes.

[thick smelt]

Is there a mod that can tell me why I got timed out

[latent plover]

It was probably auto mod

[thick smelt]

Oh

[misty grove]

You probably triggered the auto mod

[timber canopy]

Got you

[round trellis]

Y'all telling me that age check from like a year ago meant nothing?! 😭

[hasty olive]

DM me them too?

[misty grove]

Saying the fil___ word will do that if discussing it in here.

[thick smelt]

Dm me too

I’m smelling cake in my room it’s from the kitchen it smells so good it’s making me hungry

[silent onyx]

laws got passed that cai needs to follow

[native eagle]

I hope the selfie verification won't screw too many people over... I remember users getting wrongfully suspended on X because they were flagged as underage even though most were older than me LOL

[timber canopy]

-# You got flagged or something?

[barren harness]

Why they doing all of this of the app is literally for roleplaying

[violet garden]

Bro this age assurance thing is the worse because why does it take me 15 trys for it to identify my face

[silent onyx]

law

[barren harness]

[native eagle]

I dont use the app but Im waiting until the verif is a thing to download it

[barren harness]

Pmo

[silent onyx]

oh well

[misty grove]

It's the new law that was passed. They're located in California so they have to legally. It's not optional.

[round trellis]

F the law! /j

[native eagle]

atleast theyre not taking IDs.. I dunno how comfortable I am sharing my documents on any site much less cai

[barren harness]

Dammit

[violet garden]

IT IS ID 💔

[dapper garnet]

they id u tho?

[frail robin]

yeah because people lied. duh

[violet garden]

THEY SAID THEY NEED ID WTH

[misty grove]

Officer, this one right here /j

[silent onyx]

they only ask for ID is the selfie fails to verify you are 18+

[barren harness]

I don't got the id thing yet so I'm good

[native eagle]

thank you for clarifying! hopefully I won't need to do that

[round trellis]

Alright, yeah, I guess that's fair

[violet garden]

I guess i gotta use my mom’s id 💔

[barren harness]

Wait, you only need to show id? And then you good?

[silent onyx]

no don't do that omg

[violet garden]

Ik i was jk

[misty grove]

That's actually illegal

[barren harness]

[high ledge]

😭

[barren harness]

They wont find out because I'm not in the country that says its illegal heh

[full quartz]

I’ve heard if the selfie part doesn’t work you gonna show ID but I could be wrong!

[misty grove]

Alright...good luck with that

[barren harness]

[silent onyx]

the age assurance will eventually go global so you won't have it rn like the US does now

[barren harness]

Dammit nvm then

[high ledge]

🥳

[round trellis]

Any OGs from the very beginning here?

Not an og, I was a bit late lol

[native eagle]

discovered cai in spring 2023

[high ledge]

Late 2024 for me

[torpid yacht]

Me i think

[pseudo monolith]

i discovered it in 1969

[torpid yacht]

Sing a christmas song

[high ledge]

Phones didn’t exist in 1969, ELECTRICITY DIDNT EXIST

[pseudo monolith]

fym electricity

[round trellis]

They a witch!

[keen flare]

Electricity did exist blud

[pseudo monolith]

⚠️

[high ledge]

Oh—

Well, phones def didn’t—

[misty grove]

Not an OG, I've been here for close to two years now I think.

[torpid yacht]

Telephones

[keen flare]

Also hii :3

[frail robin]

folks resorting to unethical and even illegal shit vindicates this update btw.

yeah, some of yall deserve to be barred from chatting.

[pseudo monolith]

who was here when c dot ai actually had a mascot

[high ledge]

[dapper garnet]

remember those days...

[pseudo monolith]

why r u speaking in 1600s

[keen flare]

How's ur server going?

[torpid yacht]

[high ledge]

Gud, 54 ppl

[torpid yacht]

Whats the server's name

[keen flare]

Woahhh big numbers! Great work!

[high ledge]

“The Chatters”—

[frail robin]

not sure.

[pseudo monolith]

oh ur pfp isn't transparent 💔

[high ledge]

The End Is Nigh.

[pseudo monolith]

the start is low

[rigid flint]

i hate trying to get the AI to ask a question, instead of just continually going and trying to raise the stakes and pressure and all that. its genuinely annoying, and idk how to not get them to do that

[native eagle]

mute the word "question" and/or "ask" in settings, never had the problem again

[blazing dove]

Yep

[prisma anchor]

I started using c.ai around 2022 to 2023 i just deleted it was getting bad for me and my life so goodbye everyone i prob wont be coming back

[modest urchin]

Bye bye

[brave lily]

Ngl, C.ai will still be my go to chat ai service tbh. It ain’t excellent but I do like it tbh.

[small axle]

I’m not talking about Roblox. I’m talking about c.ai I try to use my Aunt’s ID, but it didn’t work

[misty grove]

The only AI app that I've used compared to others, c.ai is the only one that's made me cry from a storyline.

[brave lily]

Same though.

[misty grove]

So I'm staying here xD

[round trellis]

imo seeing what the app used to look like vs now in what seems like a kinda short time was a wild ride

[brave lily]

Plus, sometimes the storyline tends to keep me on my toes.

[native eagle]

pipsqueak is really amazing for my lenghty rps I was losing interest before that

[brave lily]

I actually like pipsqueak as well. It’s a whole lot better than the other free models in my opinion.

[misty grove]

I got depressed from a break up scene for a few days, it was crazy

[brave lily]

This one character I chat with the most surprised me because my character’s daughter’s mom was an alien princess. ||don’t judge me. ||

[misty grove]

👀 honestly valid

[compact tartan]

same here, I'm an OG.

[compact tartan]

Real I like to continue a storyline and the memory has been very well

[compact tartan]

Compared to other services, c.ai has given me the most memory and in character responses. It's not perfect, but it's my favorite as of now

[brave lily]

That’s how I feel about C.ai as well. Not perfect but I feel like it’s better than a lot of other free services like it imo.

[compact tartan]

There's definitely ways c.ai can continue to improve the LLM (i think thats what its called) but the memory is pretty good

[merry drift]

Quick question, what's up with the minor restriction on the platform? I don't really get why they did it.

[brave lily]

Laws basically.

[merry drift]

Laws? Since when did laws regarding AI usage exist?

I fuckin hate society sometimes, jeez.

[brave lily]

Due to my limited knowledge, it’s something about a law in California that’s basically making C.ai do something like this. Since C.ai is based in Cali, is most likely the cause of this update.

[upper widget]

Then why do people from other states have to also follow it? Shouldn’t it just be in states that have laws like that instead?

[boreal yarrow]

anyone else not get a pop up

[brave lily]

I genuinely don’t know tbh. If I had the answer, I would’ve happily answered you.

[merry drift]

Will it still be available to minors, just with limits?

[upper widget]

Yeah, they just have to follow new rules though

[merry drift]

Alr

I read something about open chat no longer being available. What does that mean?

[upper widget]

I genuinely have no idea, but if I had to guess it probably has something to do with the timer when you chat with a bot for too long or something

[zinc birch]

It means no chatting

[merry drift]

So after the 24th, minors won't be able to chat?

[zinc birch]

That is correct

[merry drift]

They are gonna lose like 70% of their target audience.
