[timber canopy]

Oh yeah, I am. Absolutely

[keen flare]

Don't copy me bru 😏 ✌️

[tulip pollen]

You wouldn't win against me either way

[shy sierra]

They should at least suspend the timer if they aren’t going to do anything to help

[timber canopy]

-# I should have been mean to you, now you are being so annoying

[shy sierra]

Like they’re aware I’m having these issues and there’s still a 9 hour timer

[tulip pollen]

-# You missed the target xd

[keen flare]

Tried submitting a ticket?

[eternal flame]

-# I didn't copy your bru🤨 🫰

[shy sierra]

Yep

[timber canopy]

I am out

[shy sierra]

And a mod was made aware of the issue and got in contact with support

[keen flare]

-# nah u totally copied me, only i use this emoji 😏 🙏

[compact tartan]

It rolls out to other countries in the following months.

[tulip pollen]

You Corv and Shadow are fighting each other xd

[shy sierra]

Atp they know it’s bugging imma just add an alt email to parental controls to get rid of the timer

[compact tartan]

????

[keen flare]

Fighting? Who's fighting? 😏

It's called gentle teasing bru

[eternal flame]

I have no ideas what you talking about fighting who😏 🫴

[tulip pollen]

Fair enough

[keen flare]

Twin

[radiant lance]

:V

[carmine kelp]

Guys is the app still down, it keeps saying chat error everytime I swipe for a new message? 🤨

[untold jacinth]

whatttt, it isn’t down for me

[keen flare]

It's not down sooo try Vpn

[carmine kelp]

Idk what’s going on, I’ve verified my age

[keen flare]

It has nothing to do w verification, probably just connection issues

[carmine kelp]

Ahhh that makes sense, thanks :]

[wicked ivy]

is c.ai still down? Mine is

[pallid knoll]

same

[sharp gorge]

Ah cai's down ??

[carmine kelp]

Yeah mine too, it just might be a glitch or connection problems. I would suggest submitting a ticket

[wicked ivy]

Seems to be down. Who's gonna submit the ticket in that case?

[carmine kelp]

I already submitted one, some people submit more if they’re experiencing the same problem.

[wicked ivy]

I'll see if i can

[sharp gorge]

-# cai is working for me

[wicked ivy]

That's nice

[carmine kelp]

Yeah, it could be just a connection problem, because earlier I asked some people and they said that the app was having problems.

[wicked ivy]

App? I'm using Web

[carmine kelp]

Ohhh, so it’s happening on the site too. I use the app

[opaque ferry]

Dawg it won’t let me verify

[sharp gorge]

Wait nevermind I got disconnected
Instant karma

[wicked ivy]

What exactly is happening? Is it not giving replies? Cause that's what mine's doing

[opaque ferry]

Is anyone else trying to verify their face? It’s not saying it can verify my face when I try to

[heady parcel]

Maybe try using a VPN or switching to data?

[wicked ivy]

I'm on a laptop..

[heady parcel]

VPN then 💪😤 I've heard proton is good

[wicked ivy]

i don't have VPN

[keen flare]

Get vpn

[wicked ivy]

i submitted the ticket

[carmine kelp]

That’s what’s happening too. I swipe and it says chat error, I’ve been told it has nothing to do with the age verification. It could honestly be a problem in their servers.

[wicked ivy]

not now 😄

[keen flare]

Sorry to break it to u but tickets won't solve ur problem

[wicked ivy]

Mine just won't give me anything, it keeps loading

[carmine kelp]

But again, it could be connection problems. I’m not sure.

[wicked ivy]

I know 😔 but i still submitted

[wicked ivy]

Might be!

[keen flare]

Welp

[stable dagger]

whats ur guys’s favourite and least favourite update on c.ai

[keen flare]

Favorite update: persona
Least favorite: avatar fx. Idk i just don't use it

[runic trout]

I love the persona

[tulip pollen]

Best ever

[keen flare]

Real, best thing that happened to cai

[runic trout]

exactly!!

[tulip pollen]

That's best thing that has ever happened

[keen flare]

I was so done w having to write my oc description on the start of every chat, only for the character to forget it 20 messages later

20 is alot, make it 10

[sly geyser]

i forgot about avatar fx

[tulip pollen]

Same

One of the other things I like so much was then they added monochrome, no more blue bubble, just gray

[cyan cargo]

are we able to do the age verification thing yet

[keen flare]

If you're in the us, yes

[still jetty]

Yes we can
But right now is very buggy!
Like i can’t even verify because i have unable to verify me!

[cyan cargo]

ok where do I do that?

[keen flare]

Settings > advanced

[little prawn]

I didn't collect all the daily stickers, I forgot 💔

[keen flare]

Idgaf abt stickers 😔 ✌️

[cyan cargo]

thank you, very appreciated

[tulip pollen]

Same

[small jay]

Guys, I just realized something, if C.AI is making everyone be 18+ for the verification, will it now have 18+ features or not? Otherwise there is no need for being 18 or older.

[little prawn]

I honestly only liked one of them but still

[cyan cargo]

is it safe to give my ID?

[small jay]

Never do that

[keen flare]

Mhm

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[supple granite]

No

[cyan cargo]

getting some mixed signals 😭

[keen flare]

No need? Sure if you don't wanna chat anymore

[little prawn]

No, they aren't making the app 18+, they're just following California law which says under 18 year olds can't access the website anymore

[tulip pollen]

Mhm so they need to do the verification

[supple granite]

So just randoy tpye 01.01.1989 and ur good to go

[timber isle]

I got my face verified

[small jay]

Why tf does a California law apply for the whole USA And UK?

[keen flare]

Bcs the company hq is in California

[little prawn]

Because Character ai is from California...

[small jay]

Ah, that makes more sense.

[tulip pollen]

Meaning they have to follow the law there

[cyan cargo]

so the people who did give their id have had no issues and they deem it safe?

[small jay]

Maybe just move HQ, just saying.

[keen flare]

My friend didn't even have to do id, selfie was enough

[cyan cargo]

I got baby face :(

[little prawn]

Guys we all have to get together and push the entire building out of California. We got this

[small jay]

Indeed

Besides, California sucks at this point from what I hear.

[untold lagoon]

they are doing the ID thing on their own i’ve heard. not cause of the new law

[keen flare]

Still you'll be asked for selfie first

[cyan cargo]

they already deemed my photo too young

[small jay]

Oof

[keen flare]

Welp, gotta do id then

[little prawn]

Then you have to do an ID

[cyan cargo]

i just wanna make sure its safe

[small jay]

I forgot to try again yesterday, I'll try doing the test again today.

[keen flare]

It's safe dw, persona is a known company used by many services, like LinkedIn

[cyan cargo]

ok

[small jay]

Still, sharing your ID to a camera feels uncomfortable

[cyan cargo]

it does, but if persona has been vetted and used a lot then i feel more comfy

[little prawn]

Also I'm pretty sure they delete your info after 2-3 days

[keen flare]

Ur not forced to do it but if you wanna chat you kinda have to, sooo

[small jay]

I know, I'll try again later this day. Last time it was acting stupid.

[cyan cargo]

why do they need the barcode on the back? is it ti make sure the ID is real?

[keen flare]

No clueee

[little prawn]

I wonder how chaotic it's going to get on the 24th... Unless they've already kicked out all the minors

[cyan cargo]

they cant of cause i got the one week message i was able to chat just fine this morning

[sly geyser]

like in spongebob when patrick suggested to push the entire city somewhere else

[icy swallow]

is it real that we will have a 2hours screen time on cai if we’re minor🙏🙏🙏

[little prawn]

Yes

[keen flare]

And soon will be 0hrs

[snow harness]

Damn

[icy swallow]

What???

[little prawn]

#📣︱announcements ?

[edgy vault]

well if u consider 72 hours close sure I guess

[keen flare]

No clue wtf that mean but ok XD

[little prawn]

Fr 😭

[keen flare]

Srsly?

[little prawn]

That's how you get arrested

[edgy vault]

I thought you meant it was today😭 mb

[keen flare]

No worries XD

[little prawn]

By turning 18 and getting an ID of course :D

[versed thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/fbi-agent-gif-17540199569095667102

[tulip pollen]

Hi Lvcifer how are you today?

[versed thicket]

Fabulous as always, a bit eepy. Drinking coffee while checking the channels..

Hope you;re doing great, too!

[tulip pollen]

I’m doing decent myself

[crude bolt]

Violin told me the minis aren’t getting kicked out they are just moving to the -18 experience

[keen flare]

They won't be allowed to chat that's all

[little prawn]

Yeah but they can't chat with bots

[tulip pollen]

That doesn’t count as being kicked off the app or website

[little prawn]

Some kid asked how to fake an ID to get past the age verification lmao

[crude bolt]

They never said we wouldn’t be able to they just said our previous chats would be saved

[sly geyser]

people dragging this subject like how bots drag out the “can i ask you a question” thing

[tulip pollen]

You’re so right

[snow harness]

Bruh lmao

[sly geyser]

what a dumb ass lol

[keen flare]

Bruh... No you won't be able to chat...

Read the announcement carefully

[crude bolt]

Thanks for the info please Dni now

[sly geyser]

nobody reads the announcements unfortunately

[keen flare]

Lolll

[tulip pollen]

Yep sadly cause they go to Reddit xd

[sly geyser]

or tik tok

[little prawn]

Bro spreads false info then gets mad when they are corrected

[tulip pollen]

Yeah but mostly Reddit I’m sure

[sly geyser]

yeah mainly reddit

[cyan cargo]

i wish they were more consistent with the announcements

cause i didnt know the age thing until i got the 1 week message

[sly geyser]

also to answer the next person about to ask in 5 minutes. minors wont be able to chat on the 25th and if you dont understand then read #📣︱announcements

[dire berry]

[tulip pollen]

Check #📣︱announcements , you’re saying you didn’t know anything when they actually announced it

[crude bolt]

I just read it and it says nothing about not being able to chat after the 24

[sly geyser]

yes it does you just didnt read

[cyan cargo]

Nope, i didn't even get the notification for that announcement

[tulip pollen]

Are you blind or something, it’s in the announcement, read it again

[crude bolt]

No it doesn’t

[sly geyser]

how about read the message instead of only listening to what you want to hear

[tulip pollen]

It does! Read the announcement!

[keen flare]

Dumbasses

[little prawn]

Bro I literally opened it and scanned the announcements for 5 seconds and it says "no open-ended chat for -18 users"

[crude bolt]

People are attacking me

[sly geyser]

#📣︱announcements message use your eyes

[little prawn]

???

[crude bolt]

I’m eighteen and your arguing with me go talk to somebody your own age

[little prawn]

Guys they're rage baiting

[dire berry]

No open-chat means no back and forth between you and the AI, means no chats at all, but your previous chats will be saved.

[sly geyser]

and a little dumb

[pliant haven]

what is the new update about...

[crude bolt]

Can you tell people to stop being mean to me

[little prawn]

Both 😔

[sly geyser]

just saying rage bait is a sign of low intelligence

[sly geyser]

womp womp

[pliant haven]

c.ai is probably going 2 loose so much of their fanbase/ alot of money if they fr make it 18+

[little prawn]

Guys stop it! They're just trying to spread false information in a public chat where people go to find information about things!! Be nice to them 🥺

[crude bolt]

@dire berry has been super supportive and nice and none of you are being nice to me

[cold yacht]

Self destruct

[timber canopy]

They weren't being mean. They were telling you the truth and trying to make you understand but you keep making things difficult and ignore what they say

[sly geyser]

majority is adults not minors

[crude bolt]

Im getting mixed information and im worried thats all

[cold yacht]

Pretty sure majority is a teenager

[pliant haven]

their practicly going bankrupt

[little prawn]

Majority is def teenagers

[pliant haven]

bro trust me its mostly teenagers

[restive linden]

can you define some regex to limit voiceover?

like only do voice on content that are covered in ""

[timber canopy]

On Nov 24th, minors won't be able to chat with bots at all. But the chats are saved and won't be gone. That's all

[pliant haven]

i have yet to have seen a single adult on c.ai

[sly geyser]

then listen to what we’re saying so we can help you understand

[pliant haven]

or heard of such a thing at that.

[keen flare]

Oop it's getting busy time to vanish

[crude bolt]

Ok just don’t call me names

[cyan cargo]

What did i miss?

[sly geyser]

aight

[timber canopy]

Less than 10% of accounts are minor accounts, about 30% if you consider liars, and adults are the ones paying for plus and giving them revenue

[cold yacht]

Its def teenagers since people go through hormones and want connection or romance desperately at the age of 13+ to 17

[pliant haven]

what are they trying to accomplish with the new update??

[heady parcel]

Following the law

[tulip pollen]

We are trying to tell the truth

[cyan cargo]

I think its safety reasons

[timber canopy]

They are following the law

[cold yacht]

Protection against a lawsuit

[runic ridge]

Safty for kids i guess

[sly geyser]

like gremlins

[tulip pollen]

Same here homie

[pliant haven]

can i have an explaination on what law their breaking

[little prawn]

You asked questions and we answered them and then you said that we were wrong, we tried to confirm it and you got pissed off and defensive for no reason, we linked you to the announcements page where it says the information you were asking for, you said it wasn't there, I don't know how much more clear we could be. The only "mixed information" you're getting is from yourself

[sly geyser]

they arent breaking any

[keen flare]

Let's skedaddle to our safe server

[tulip pollen]

I agree let's go

[pliant haven]

so then why change it 2 18

[sly geyser]

they are enforcing a law not breaking it

[timber canopy]

New law passed in Cali recently that basically prevents minors from talking to chatbots. C.AI is head quartered in California and therefore have to follow the law

No it does not matter where YOU are it matters where THEY are

[bright steppe]

but how do I know that my account is 18+?

[pliant haven]

*18+

[ocean gull]

They got sued a bunch

[pliant haven]

oh okay

[cold yacht]

Guys I have a question

[heady parcel]

California laws AB 1043 and SB 243 are the ones I'm pretty sure

[little prawn]

If you are 18 and if your account hasn't gotten the 2 hour limit yet

[pliant haven]

yeah especially from that disney bot thing

[weak osprey]

The law never said minors can’t use ai, jus said it needs to be regulated better

[timber canopy]

Go read it again, and make sure you're reading the right one

[tulip pollen]

Read it carefully again

[bright steppe]

I thought that was a thing on the app only

[cold yacht]

I made a new account and anything even slightly violent gets blockeed, will the fiilter get less sensitive over time?

[ocean gull]

Well I more meant the one about the kid. Uhhh idr I think his mom sued?

[little prawn]

I don't know the law but I know it says on #📣︱announcements that after the 24th or 25th minors are no longer able to send messages to the bots

[weak osprey]

I did, I know what I read, look it up yourself, I read into laws ai isn’t banned for minors but it’s limited

[sly geyser]

depends on how violent you got because the censor is not that sensitive (for me at least)

[little prawn]

I'm confused on what you're referring to then

[tulip pollen]

It’s not that sensitive for me either

[cold yacht]

For me if I say anything even Remotely close to a pinch it censors it

[timber canopy]

There are different laws. The first one said it should be restrited or smth like that, the one we are talking about says something different

[timber canopy]

The timelimit is for both app and web. Nothing changed

[sly geyser]

i can punch and break all the bot’s teeth and it doesnt censor

[weak osprey]

I know that, because c.ai is doing more than required

[cold yacht]

Lucky

[little prawn]

Well darn, there's nothing we can do 🤷

[timber canopy]

Actually read the law before you come in here and spread misinfo

Anyway have a great day everyone

[timber canopy]

Take care Rose!

[cold yacht]

Maybe they came here to get that info

[tulip pollen]

This is to much going on here I’m going to casino xd

[weak osprey]

People read, so many laws exist no one knows what is missing info anymore

[timber canopy]

Same thats where I'm going LOL

[little prawn]

If they came here to get info they wouldn't be saying things that are wrong, repeatedly, even after people correct them repeatedly.

[tulip pollen]

Hell yeah let's get out of here

[cold yacht]

Yea

[little prawn]

Well that happened :3

I love that in the middle of the day the chat goes wild and then for the next 3 hours there's only going to be 2 people talking lmfao

[weak osprey]

My c.ai is broken rn idk if it’s cuz it’s on a privacy tab but it’s taking so long to load

[craggy steeple]

Maybe it's an internet issue

[little prawn]

Mine is working fine but I use the app, could be wifi?

[edgy vault]

Is it only me or did replies get smaller?

[craggy steeple]

Smaller.... Wow my replies are so long

[edgy vault]

Eh its probally due to server traffic

[little prawn]

Depends on the model you're using, if it's pipsqueak that model is very inconsistent with replies and will either give you two sentences or an entire essay

[weak osprey]

I running hyper fyber optic rn or whatever it’s called, so can’t be WiFi or there is an outage in my area and I haven’t been notified yet

[craggy steeple]

Might be and sometimes the bot even adds that (ooc) so yeah it gets so long

I sometimes have to force it to stop

[edgy vault]

yeah I did notice that before but ngl it has gotten even more incosistent at least for me these past few days

[little prawn]

No idea, hope it comes back!

[edgy vault]

well then I guess I have to wait it out

[edgy vault]

I either get a decent length or smth pretty small

[little prawn]

I've been using Roar and it's better than pipsqueak. I highly doubt pipsqueak will change or get any better, it's been broken and buggy since the day it came out and nothing has changed despite everyone complaining about it. If it's being annoying just use a different model ❤️

[craggy steeple]

Yeah I don't like pipsqueak too
What do you think about deepsqueak

[little prawn]

I'm broke I don't have that 😔

[edgy vault]

ngl for me it was working fine until now💔 I might have to go back to pawly tho if this continues to happen

[craggy steeple]

[crude bolt]

The website version works

[little prawn]

I've been having the problem for a while. Like I said it's wildly inconsistent. Sometimes it's working fine and then it'll randomly change and write me an entire book unrelated to the chat.

Anyways I gtg, bye chat

[craggy steeple]

[edgy vault]

I guess I will check again in the weekend if anything changes

[still jetty]

Does anyone could verify yet?
I can’t
It’s gave me unable to verify m e yet

[carmine kelp]

I’d contact the support

[sharp gorge]

Didn't that arrived to you again like yesterday ?

[sly geyser]

i thought you asked this yesterday?

[sharp gorge]

We even pinged a mod for you and they helped you

[still jetty]

Yes I did contact again but it’s been kidna couple days

[ocean gull]

How are you trying to verify? Like, are you getting an error message or something?

[still jetty]

I have announced says “unable to verify age to come later” with red alert
I don’t know waht is even means!
Everyone get verified except I can’t !

[sharp gorge]

-# ping a mod again I guess...

[still jetty]

@drowsy oasis
Hello I have a problem,i have announced says “unable to verify age to come later” with red alert at my settings does

I don’t know waht is even means!
Everyone get verified except I can’t !
It is a bug?

[edgy tulip]

Btw W KAngel pfp

[sharp gorge]

Aaaw thank you !! love yours too 🫶🏻

[timber canopy]

Ping another. She is only with Spanish channel not English.
Also didn't you already ping lucifer 7 hours ago..?

[edgy tulip]

Thxxx

[sharp gorge]

Omg...

[timber canopy]

-# I am just go..watch some movies
Take care bendy!

[sharp gorge]

Good idea

[keen flare]

-# what movies?

[lethal mist]

how long do they need to reply it's been days im still waiting for a simple question

[sharp gorge]

You too vivi 💕

[timber canopy]

-# Why do you pop up out of nowhere?
"Until dawn"

[carmine kelp]

I’m not sure, I guess it really depends how many messages they have to read and reply to.

[lethal mist]

tyy

[keen flare]

-# i was watching...
:0 cool movie! Enjoy ur watch

[carmine kelp]

Ywww! :3

[lethal mist]

ive been asking ts so much how do i change chat styles and past chat archives on the new c.ai+ UI

[still jetty]

I just a little bit scared to get falgged minor and close my chats

[sharp gorge]

Yeah but you already pinged a mod not even a day ago and they already explained to you what to do
Didn't they told to dm them your problem too ?

[timber canopy]

-# Oh..I see
Thank you

[timber canopy]

Even if you get. You can verify any time, it's not like it would be gone..
You don't have to always ping a mod. They literally don't work for c.ai, just here

[keen flare]

From the pfp icon bottom left, you'll find all the options there

[lethal mist]

i tried that, but it wont scroll down 😔

[keen flare]

What won't scroll down?

[lethal mist]

i see voice option, wallpaper, persona, imagine, layout and scenes. i tried scroll down, but idk if that works either

[keen flare]

Uhh, send a ss in #📱︱chat-feed

[lethal mist]

dyk how to find them 💔 i could use website but i wanna find solutions. if nothing works ill go website till i figure it out

[keen flare]

Lowkey i don't have a clue, i haven't even got the new ui yet 💔

[floral steeple]

Idk why, but I think the new UI looks cool. I'm just wondering if you can actually switch between the new one and the old one.

[dire berry]

That's a bug. Someone else had it too, submit a ticket about it. You can toggle off the new UI in settings under appearance.

[floral steeple]

That answered my question. 🤣

[keen flare]

You can switch if you have cai+

[lethal mist]

omg tysm

[sly geyser]

oh fuck here they come

[muted marten]

Can’t wait for the flood of people missing the point of the update

[hollow rampart]

Lmao

[sharp gorge]

Oh that sounds bad

[hard radish]

Can we just use a pic of ourselves or do we NEED an id? Im 18+ but dont have an id

[rustic zenith]

someone explain what the shit the announcement means im confused

[lethal mist]

😭

[sharp gorge]

Here we go again

[lusty atlas]

do we know what they'll be using for verification? persona or js is verif?

[fringe bloom]

took them long enough ngl

[frozen beacon]

yeah me too

[lethal mist]

how do u not have an id use e card or passport 💔

[ember hull]

they're making the app effectively useless lmao

[muted marten]

Just tell them womp womp, what are they gonna do?

[toxic oriole]

lowk sad that they need to include resources for people to talk to about losing access to c.ai shows how addictive it is

[rustic zenith]

i know about the age verification part but
turn off chat? what didi miss

[sly geyser]

shit if they’re rolling it out over the coming days that means more people will drag this topic out

[hard radish]

I dont fly any where, and i havent needed an id for anything

[toxic oriole]

twin it’s gonna be dragged out for WEEKSSSSS

[sharp gorge]

You're evil

[sly geyser]

NOOOO

[final robin]

💀

[lethal mist]

u do have a government issued id unless ur in an unknown tribe

[hollow igloo]

Glad I’m not in the US rn

[faint birch]

It just means they’re gonna completely remove minor accounts ability to chat with bots starting from the 24th, first in the US then the rest of the world

[rich umbra]

I’m slightly confused, are they removing under 18 from the discord or just the app/website?

[toxic oriole]

driver’s permit is also valid identification, if ur old enough to have one

[floral steeple]

They've been rolling out the age verification system ever since the start of November. It doesn't roll out immediately for everyone, but more and more people are getting detected as -18 on the app.

[sly geyser]

dont get too comfortable it’ll roll out globally soon

[sharp gorge]

Glad I actually made popcorn rn

[hard radish]

im 19 and I dont drive so-

[sly geyser]

i still have a bag of skinny pop popcorn nearby me lol

[ember hull]

they will lose shitloads of users so like yeah

[rustic zenith]

bfr who is giving an id to c.ai

[toxic oriole]

i’m nervous af about my flight later and this was the exact drama i needed

[sharp gorge]

Let's gooo 🤝

[gleaming knot]

Wait guys so under 18 users won’t be allowed to use C.AI?

[ember hull]

i think so

[dire berry]

They're not removing under 18 from the app/website or Discord server. They wouldn't be able to chat, that's all.

[floral steeple]

They can still use the app, but they can't chat to any bots.

[rustic zenith]

they wont be allowed to use the chat feature but the rest

[toxic oriole]

you just won’t be able to chat, you can still make characters and voices or wtv

[ember hull]

then what's the point in the app lmao

[gleaming knot]

So… what is this for? this is completely useless

[dusky otter]

laws

[craggy quartz]

I'm not from US, but where the verify thing in settings? Or not there yet?

[rustic zenith]

they wanna get minors off the app 🤷

[ember hull]

useless as fuck

[eternal grotto]

Wasn't it supposed to be 2 hours a day? Or what

[granite summit]

Imagine cutting off 2/3 of your user base

[gleaming knot]

crazy shit

[torpid mirage]

About time

[rustic pecan]

Oh my god how do people still not know what’s going on?

[dusky otter]

[ember hull]

doing so they will lose shitloads of users

[hard radish]

advanced settings

[earnest tree]

Didn't c.ai have a time limit back in 2023-24 ish ??

[toxic oriole]

and justifiably so mind you too many people have gotten hurt

[jovial gazelle]

I have a question, so like how do we get prove we're 18 without an ID process because im not comfortable having AI sites having my personal information

[rustic zenith]

better than getting sued again i think

[edgy vault]

not really it said that it will start with 2 hours and then slowly decrease

[sharp gorge]

Actually it's WAY lower than that btw

[rustic zenith]

im all for it, i dont think its a bad thing if it looked like that

[faint birch]

not like they have a choice anyways, it's the law and they have to follow it

[hard radish]

This! I dont have an ID, but even If i did I dont want to use it for a company like this. but i still want to continue using the app.

[rustic pecan]

minors are not the majority of users omgggggg

[frozen beacon]

currently praying that I've actually set my birth date correctly back when it asked us to do so 🙏

[timber canopy]

Less than 10% of accounts are minor accounts, around 30 if you factor in liars (according to the CEO)

Majority of the c.ai users are adults who are also the ones who pay for plus

[unique lance]

Hey guys how do you know you’re above 18 verifying your age? I heard that apparently they accidentally sent the under 18 message to a lot of users on character by accident

[sly geyser]

like what weve said a shit load of times

[edgy vault]

cai is using persona which is a pretty reliable company,I am pretty sure the picture of ur id gets deleted after a week

[toxic oriole]

maybe like 2 years ago it was majority minors but most people have turned 18 since then tbh

[hollow igloo]

So it won’t stop the young children making TTS voices?, damn it, really dislike how many TTS voices are made by children

[sly geyser]

yall need to seriously chill out this is getting ridiculous at this point

[sharp gorge]

It's entertaining to watch but also so tiring ugh. We explained so much times and people still argue

[rustic zenith]

oh they're using persona? 😭 roblox is using it too and i've heard it marked a grown man w a beard as 13+

[jovial gazelle]

not persona omg absolutely not!!!!!!! i will never submit personal info to persona

[ember hull]

i love how they refuse to believe that there are some people under 18 who are actually mature

[toxic oriole]

they gave like over a months notice y are people still confused

[floral steeple]

C.AI is using Persona (or Age Assurance), which basically means that it will check through your account (not your chats, I think), and it'll detect whether or not you're 18. If it detects you're under 18, you will be given a time limit, and soft launch will be restricted.

[rustic pecan]

They said this back in September 😭

[faint birch]

LMFAOO it marked me as like 12 too dw, had to pull out the id to get roblox voice chat 💔

[sharp gorge]

Fr

[floral steeple]

If they're using Age assurance, then you won't have to do anything unless it accidentally detects you as -18.

[rustic zenith]

crazy shit 💔

[silent onyx]

doesn't matter if you're "mature", the law is the law. cry about it.

[toxic oriole]

that’s not the point under the eyes of the law a minor is a minor, maturity doesn’t matter whatsoever

[hollow igloo]

I hope I don’t have to give my face or ID, I pray I didn’t get marked as under 18

[ember hull]

jebać to

[edgy vault]

crazy work

[warm python]

factsss!!!

[sly geyser]

i highly doubt they are confused they just want to drag it out and linger and whine about it

[unique lance]

Yall if we got soft launch does that mean we don’t need to verify our age?

[jovial gazelle]

roblox marked me as 7... im 18.. i work 2 jobs and attend college

[ember hull]

how would it even detect

[hollow igloo]

Luckily I got soft launch

[rustic pecan]

They dont want minors on the app and literally said this. They know what they’re doing.

[rustic zenith]

what a good software! /s

[hard radish]

where can u see it

[toxic oriole]

hopefully by 2026 ts will finally be over

[hollow igloo]

In models

[sly geyser]

hopefully way sooner than that

[timber canopy]

Soft Launch means you're on an 18+ account, it does NOT mean you are safe from being flagged/verifiying

@hollow igloo @unique lance

[hollow igloo]

I don’t even know what soft launch is tbh

[tight shore]

how are they supposed to tell?

[toxic oriole]

idk how many weeks it’s gonna take for all minors to be taken off

[floral steeple]

Probably not. Since the age verification thingy takes full effect by the 25th, MANY people are going to drag it on for a long LONG time.

[ember hull]

exactly

[hard radish]

Cool for the summer? i guess

[rustic pecan]

If you can edit messages and have soft launch, you likely have an adult account already.

[hollow igloo]

Right, thank you

[unique lance]

so the only way to prove that I’m 18 is to give my stuff to a 3rd party company, damn…

[toxic oriole]

yeah plus they’re spacing out the groups it’s gonna take ages for this to be completed

[hollow igloo]

Doesn’t explain much

[pulsar cedar]

Read the announcements. It has been said.

[tulip pollen]

Read in #📣︱announcements

[forest wave]

an style for adult users

[still jetty]

I know
I just hope they fix their verified age soon
But I think since they are many people verified right now at the same time
Maybe that why it doesn’t work for everyone I just think

[floral steeple]

Right. Give it a few months, and maybe it'll die down...hopefully.

[rustic pecan]

Why can’t people use the search bar? Like. All of the answers are right there.

[harsh thunder]

I verified bc I’m 18 and I’m like 90% sure I can chat for more than 2 hours without being timed out yall think I’m good? 🫩

[eternal grotto]

How to even check your age? Where it is

[tulip pollen]

Fr

[sly geyser]

do you guys just ignore announcements or can yall not read

[mossy geyser]

Theres lowkey so many hypocrites in main general, its amusing to see.

[tulip pollen]

They are blind that's why

[toxic oriole]

recently google has been issuing age checks so if you’re using a gmail that’s verified as 18+ you should be perfectly fine

[sly geyser]

clearly. cant do something simple as read words

[timber canopy]

Because they don't actually want answers they want to complain and get a lot of upvote reacts and feel valid

[distant merlin]

If I and when I turn 18 will I get all my chats back

[tulip pollen]

Fr they just want to complain

[sly geyser]

and they only listen to the things they want to hear and not the truth

[toxic oriole]

this is the ai generation u know damn well nobodies reading a multi-paragraph announcement 🫩

[pulsar cedar]

They are all focused on jumping to tiktok and reddit. Personally, I only ever read announcements here.

[sly geyser]

they got chatgpt to summarize it too

[toxic oriole]

LMAO

[tulip pollen]

Okay that's good and that you don't trust reddit or tiktok good on you

[rich umbra]

I don’t think they are deleted. I think the second you verify your over 18 everything is back to normal

[sly geyser]

they literally said your chats will be saved

[silent onyx]

your chats won't be deleted, you can read past chat history

[tulip pollen]

Or they can't accept the truth

[sly geyser]

they only accept what they want to hear

[rustic pecan]

I am so exhausted of ppl not reading and/or searching.

[tulip pollen]

Same like just read

[distant merlin]

Ok good I have too many chats to be deleted

[obsidian coral]

Cant we like change the age? And put as our normale age

[rustic pecan]

No lmfao

[tulip pollen]

No

[obsidian coral]

Okay, i will wait year

[split cairn]

🫩

[gloomy marlin]

Even tho I know I should be fine I can't help feel a little worried about losing my chats

[tulip pollen]

They are delusional

[split cairn]

You won’t lose ur chats

[distant merlin]

I can wait 2 years

[edgy vault]

you wont really lose ur chats,you just wont be able to chat with bots until you are 18.The chats will remain there tho

[split cairn]

They can’t do anything about this because it’s the law in California. They can only move states or California will have to change their law which won’t happen

[gloomy marlin]

I'm 32 so I should be fine then

[split cairn]

Just gotta suck it up.

[sly geyser]

unc

[hushed iris]

If I did the age verification it should say I have access to everything, right?

[muted marten]

If they don’t like it, other options are available, if they think they suck, well then, no AI for you.

[swift seal]

How can you tell that they didn’t or did anything to your account

[sly geyser]

jk

[harsh thunder]

Yeah I think so

[split cairn]

Exactly

[hushed iris]

Is there a way to check on the app that the age verification went through?

[split cairn]

I already found an alternative. But I haven’t used any ai app for two days

[graceful finch]

I just verified anyway just to get it out of the way

[harsh thunder]

I checked and I couldn’t find anything but I would just wait the 2 hours and see if it shuts u off

[hushed iris]

Ok

[swift seal]

What do they mean by “you have full access to character ai”

[jovial gazelle]

u keep ur access if ur 18+

[gaunt bronze]

Is this js us?

[swift seal]

So basically that means nothing happens, I’m good then?

[jovial gazelle]

for now yes, eventually international

[faint birch]

just US at first but they're gonna roll it out across the world in a few weeks/months

[swift seal]

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏🏾🙏🏾

[jovial gazelle]

the amount of people i saw say "good thing im not in the us" did not learn how to read

[kind fern]

really?? im im Italy and mine has already started the 18+ verification

[gaunt bronze]

Oh thank god they’re making chat unavailable for under 18s, I feel like it should be for other apps too

[faint birch]

i don't have it yet, idk 😭 i'm just repeating what they said in their announcement, ''in the united states''

[rustic pecan]

Ban minors from all ai chatbots pls

[graceful finch]

I'm doing it so many times just to make sure it knows I'm 32

[jovial gazelle]

everything is bothering me rigbt now witb smells and headaches

[leaden skiff]

🤧 Damm you still cant upload your new bots im trying to upload my new ones but it cant 🥲

[ornate cosmos]

Didn't they already make people put in their ages? Why the face scan now lol

Also do they get rid of it after or... just keep your data?

[swift seal]

😭😭

[rustic pecan]

California law requires age verification methods

[craggy quartz]

For some reason there's only "Delete account" for me🤷‍♂️

[faint birch]

same, it's probably not rolled out in all regions yet

[hard radish]

yeah

[ornate cosmos]

Ah. Im not even in cali..

[fringe geyser]

Can people under 18 just not use the app now?

[hard pier]

So like do we jst wait for them to do wtv it was w our accs to see if we're 18 or ..?

[rustic pecan]

It says the announcement what minors can do…

[fringe geyser]

My bad I just skimmed through

[leaden skiff]

Even 19 or only 18?

[hard pier]

I'm 18 but a bit confused on how exactly they gonna do it 😭

[rustic pecan]

[fringe geyser]

Huh?

[rustic pecan]

Literally all of it is explained if you LOOK.

[hard pier]

I did

Was jst a bit confused on that part ,

[hard pier]

This part .

[worn bramble]

im quite confused, cus is this really needed? I thought it was fine the whole time before all the updates, and now all the ads, and all the changes just makes the whole app so different.

[graceful finch]

I have done it four times just so they know I'm over 18 I'm 32 do I need to do it a damn fifth time because I will

[hard pier]

I jst wanna know if I need to verify somewhere else b4 hand or what .

[fleet grail]

Why is c.aj going full lockdown mode

[wide pivot]

good day to be from europe

[ornate cosmos]

My question is what happens if the face verification doesnt see you as 18-??

Also no offense but id never give my face to a program that can use your likeliness (such as gen ai or smth)

[fleet grail]

Good day to be not under 18

[cobalt walrus]

Well, just went back on the server and saw good news. This is great but I wonder how it's gonna be when it'll be worldwide in some months.

[frail robin]

give legal I.D.

[ember hull]

it will eventually roll out here as well according to announcements

[timber canopy]

I verified my age on one of my accounts

[bright bluff]

The identity thing is not working

[frail robin]

also, this announcement is very good! rip to the under 18s tho.

[ornate cosmos]

Im not giving a site like c.ai my id-

[shut plank]

When will it happen to the ppl in the uk?

[cobalt walrus]

Maybe it's going to be fixed because right now the verification system doesn't seem that good but I'm sure it'll be excellent in some months.

[frail robin]

okay then i suggest you stop using. that simple.

[rustic pecan]

Good thing c.ai isn’t the site taking the ID, then.

[graceful zephyr]

I haven’t gotten advanced settings yet

[ornate cosmos]

Also- Im an adult, but ai age verification has been proven time and time again to be jank

[frail robin]

c.ai aint obligated to provide a service to everyone.

[bright bluff]

Same it's not working at all for me

[ornate cosmos]

I never said they did. I just find it kinda goofy is all

[cobalt walrus]

If it ever asks me for that, I'll give my ID card with no hesitation because, from what I've heard/seen, the Persona thingy isn't shady unlike other verification systems

[fleet grail]

Where even do you verify

[shut plank]

Does anyone know or at least where it’s happening first???

[frail robin]

alr buddy. we get it. age verification bad blah blah blah

stop being sourgrapes and just stop using c.ai man.

[cobalt walrus]

Anyway, it's dinner time for me lol. I'll be back when I'll be done.

[hard pier]

Bro what do I do if I dnt hve my ID yet 😭

[ornate cosmos]

People can complain yheres no need to be a shill about it.

[rustic pecan]

You don’t use c.ai if they ask for it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[frail robin]

correlation does not imply causation.

[hard pier]

Man

[frail robin]

defend ≠ shilling

[rustic pecan]

We’ve been listening to this for two months. We’re done being nice overall lmao.

[leaden skiff]

Umm... Can i ask-?

[bright bluff]

Anyone know how to fix it because it wants me to turn my head and stuff but it not seeing that I'm doing it it broke

[timber canopy]

I did it

[leaden skiff]

🥲 why do my bot keep calling me "baby" every goddamm time 🤧

[timber canopy]

I Verified

[dire berry]

You can mute it.

[worn orchid]

Twins it's not gonna get fixed, the groupchats r broken entirely for me, don't even start on trying to tell me to submit a ticket, i've done that 13 times

[proven shell]

question, if i have the deepsqueek model & can edit messages, does it already see me as over 18? or am i going to still have to give it my personal information anyways. because i dont want to give any app my id

[timber canopy]

I think the verification is just a bit rough right now because of the amount of people trying to do it, also persona apparently do age verification for roblox too? So maybe it just a server overload on persona's side

[muted marten]

You know you guys can leave c.ai if you want to and feel like you’ve had enough right? That is an option on the table

Also if you can as well

[timber canopy]

Bots are weird

[shut plank]

When will this happen in the uk, roughly?

[muted marten]

Isn’t the whole concept of talking to AI characters weird if you think about it?

[leaden skiff]

😭 Damm

[silent onyx]

within the next couple of months at least

[timber canopy]

Yes. Bots as villain characters is interesting

[shut plank]

Thanks :))))

[worn orchid]

I lost 7 of my oldest and best groupcahts twins, i'm cooked

[final acorn]

So, the age verification has not started yet, and everyone is required to verify? For example, I made my c.ai account a few years ago and I was already an adult back then. I’m still required to verify, is that right?

[worn bramble]

the app tells me to verify my age and when i try to it just crashes lmao

[timber canopy]

I accidentally deleted one of my accounts and all of my rps were gone. So I made a new backup account

[rustic pecan]

No.

[solemn monolith]

This bullshit i.d thing is so stupid

I've already verified my age before, so there's no point in verifying again

[unreal vapor]

anyone knows why my bot keeps repeating the same?
like he calls me baby, okay, i keep talking with him and after around a minute he repeats THE SAME EXACT text he sent and adds some more words
whats wrong i want new messages not the exact same ones

[rustic pecan]

You do not have to verify unless prompted to do so.

[plucky oxide]

Are people verifying rn?

[rustic pecan]

Yes.

[plucky oxide]

I thought this was releasing Monday/Tuesday why do people have it early??

[undone sail]

So I don't need to verify if I dont get a pop up asking me to?

Oh. Does this server not have a mod bot?

[sly geyser]

dyno

[tall lion]

So I was on cai last night and I couldn't find any tony stark bots ,why?

[sly geyser]

is that a serious question?

[edgy sage]

Don’t make fun of them!

[sly geyser]

no im just asking if its a serious question

[tall lion]

My favorite bot is gone

[timber canopy]

Copyright claim. Disney related bots are gone

[edgy sage]

Tish, they mass-deleted every bot associated with Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel

[sly geyser]

its because of a dmca takedown request

[sterile tide]

You only gotta verify if it asks you to right? Or should i verify early like yall just in case

[hard pier]

How exactly do we know if they've checked our acc or not? ( serious question )

[tall lion]

Oooo thx

[undone steppe]

The update is stupidly good

[sterile tide]

They gotta have a good time reading mine xd

[plush kiln]

Literally

[karmic fractal]

@harsh shoal Can I speak to you through DM's please. (Sorry for the ping...)

[sly geyser]

sorry i wasnt intending on that question to be making fun of i usually see hypothetical questions that arent serious

[plush kiln]

Because why do kids keep killing themselves over a character

[magic venture]

Does anyone else's id not want to scan? It doesnt want to register it

[floral steeple]

I have a question. I see "verify age" in the Advanced tab in the app, but does that mean that I might get flagged? Is it not supposed to be there? I didn't get a pop-up, I can edit my messages, and soft launch is still available to me, but seeing "verify age" makes me feel uncomfortable.

[tall lion]

It's alright

[edgy sage]

I also need help from a moderator.

[undone sail]

How do you actually verify??

[fading root]

LMFAO now thats what i call a direct statement

[harsh shoal]

May I know for what reason?

[graceful finch]

I'm about to do it a fifth time the selfie thing

[undone steppe]

Hey I see where you are coming from but making fun or downtalking that kinda topic is not funny

[magic venture]

Same honestly!

[rustic pecan]

It’s just there. You’ll get a popup if flagged.

[hard pier]

😭 I'm jst confused bc I hvent been asked to verify but it shows the verification in the settinn’s n idk if I've been checked or not

[plush kiln]

Yeahhh I understand that and I hate it for them

[floral steeple]

Alright. Thank you

[hard pier]

Okay that answers mine then

[plush kiln]

Yep

[sterile tide]

O i see

[karmic fractal]

A question about the whole Age Verification process. I'm from the UK and I know that it hasn't hit yet but I do have some questions about it.

[lean monolith]

[magic venture]

Wait so im fine then? I dont think i got flagged, how do I know if I got flagged?

[plush kiln]

Choso mention,❤️‍🩹

[harsh shoal]

There will be an update coming soon, will let you know.

[undone steppe]

Good now there is a lot of time for you to care for yourself.

[hard pier]

I jst hope I dnt bc I gotta baby face n r in the process of gettinn’ an id 😭

[edgy sage]

Dude…

[tall lion]

What?

[woeful ore]

So I'll get a pop up if I'm flagged?

[plush kiln]

I don't really have an addiction to ai I have an addiction to rp 🥀

[hard pier]

Same

[undone sail]

I don't have a verify thing in my settings and I've not had a pop up

[floral steeple]

Yes.

[magic venture]

Frrrrr

[fluid rain]

My favorite bots have been deleted so much I’ve grown almost numb

[harsh shoal]

Yes

[fading root]

the only fear ill have is that they'll have a face they can connect to with all the despicable things ive done on this app or potentially an ID

[woeful ore]

Ty!!

[plush kiln]

Someone who gets it 🥹

[undone steppe]

Instead of using c.ai you can now go outside, achieve something, find a hobby etc

[fluid rain]

OH NO I haven’t thought of that

[floral steeple]

Hi Mikey C:

[edgy sage]

If I begin the process but don’t complete it, will I suddenly be flagged?

[sterile tide]

Yessss. Im ecxited for s3 of jjk.
On the other hand ik allready that there will be alot less new bots cause of this restriction now xd

[tall lion]

Relatable

[harsh shoal]

No

[autumn canopy]

How do you verify? Cause if it’s through ID scan and some leak’ll happen there’s a number on my country’s idea that makes it able to do like anything under my identity 😭🙏

[fluid rain]

I just hoard a bunch of one character and hope the good ones stay

[plush kiln]

Yessss I NEED IT

[edgy sage]

People can achieve lots of things in life and still find comfort in rping with their favorite bot.

[magic venture]

I dont wanna lose my chats cause bro I need to rp lmao, I got good ass stories and I dont want this thing to not age verify me and screw me over ya know?

[sterile tide]

We gotta wait till 8th of january💔

[fluid rain]

I’ve only made a bot of my own cat, a private one

[forest furnace]

You won’t have to do age verification – i.e. you won’t be asked for a selfie – unless we believe you’re under 18 and you want to prove that you’re actually 18+.

[hard pier]

Real

[plush kiln]

Exactly I write everything I have so I just moved all my stuff to jai 😋

[sterile tide]

I feel watched

[karmic fractal]

Okay because I've been using C.ai for a while now and I've been paying for c.ai plus for some time and my c.ai acc is linked to my Google Age Verified acc. I just hope I don't have to Verify again.

[undone steppe]

Yes but it's easy to get addicted etc. People on average are killing themselves etc. But I know what you mean.

[plush kiln]

SOBBING

[rustic pecan]

They have to do age verification too soooooo.

[fading root]

so there are moderators here

[edgy sage]

Okay… I verified just to be safe and now it wants my ID, but it didn’t work. So now I’m worried that it will be convinced I’m a minor, and I’m not getting an option to take a better selfie 😥

[forest furnace]

there are no moderators here

[magic venture]

Don't you gotta do age verifying there too? Plus for me they were dry af

[idle finch]

KAPPA

[weak stream]

[undone steppe]

Why do you have an expired ID in the first place?

[magic venture]

Irony, it says not modded but yet it was sent by a mod XD

[fading root]

ah why thank you for clarifying that dyno bot

[plush kiln]

I don't think so I didn't have to do one

[polar lagoon]

How to verify age??

[rustic pecan]

They’re going to have to add verification by 2027.

[edgy sage]

Because they expire and I’m a busy person with limited transportation. Respectfully, why does it matter?

[ornate cosmos]

How does the bot guess your age? Or is it just a shitty crapshot

[magic venture]

How would I tell if im flagged or if it thinks im underage? I dont want to lose anything and its not accepting my id for some reason, I have an id that stands up, not sideways and I think its not accepting it for that reason

[karmic fractal]

Its been getting worse over here in the UK

[polar lagoon]

How to verify age??

[undone steppe]

I see. Uhuh

[forest furnace]

How does age assurance work?

The age assurance process is actually really simple – and it doesn’t involve C.AI seeing your photo ID.

Here’s how it works: First, we run “age assurance” tech on all accounts. That just means we look at a number of signals, including login info, activity on the platform, and some signals from third parties. (This is a standard way that companies do age assurance.) If that process indicates you’re 18+, you’re good to go.

If the process indicates you’re under 18, we’ll let you know. At that point you can either use the under-18 experience, or 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.

[rustic pecan]

You’ll get a popup prompt.

[plush kiln]

Sigh.. at least I'll be almost 18 by then 🥹

[sterile tide]

Yo btw, can u switch ur email on ur c.ai acc? Im still using the email from my mom and she dosnt knows. Im afraid she will recieve an email if they ask me to verify lol

[idle finch]

If it’s more than three lines i don’t read it ✌🏻✌🏻😭😭

[weak stream]

Crazy that your watching us

[undone steppe]

Isn't it kind of a priority to have an updated ID just for the sake of it. Are you THAT busy?

[magic venture]

What does the pop up look like?

[sharp gorge]

I want to eat and wow. It's still going on ?

[rustic pecan]

Idk I’m an adult.

[magic venture]

Same, thats why im confused

[karmic fractal]

With the whole Digital ID thing and you know, I don't want to say it in here.

[polar lagoon]

When?

[rustic pecan]

When they send it to you if flagged?

[idle finch]

Jesus bro

[sterile tide]

Uhm, if i take a selfie.... but i got a babyface, how does that work qwq
On what does the ai judge that you "look" 18? Cause im 18 and i surely dont look like it😭

[weak egret]

my drivers licenses isnt verifying

[idle finch]

Well if the selfie doesn’t work, you have to send the ID, simple

[magic venture]

Same with mine, but its my id

[sterile tide]

I see

[bleak ivy]

Does anyone know how to make the ID scan? It keeps failing and the c.ai support just sent me an automated message instead of actually helping.

[split cairn]

It’s probably bugged

A lot of people are trying to do it at the same time and it isn’t working.

[sterile tide]

Ima just wait until the app asks me to verify

[untold jacinth]

that’s what i’m doing

[rustic pecan]

The smart choice.

[edgy sage]

Does the web give you a pop up or is it only the app?

[sterile tide]

Easyest choise

[untold jacinth]

i’d assume both would but

[floral steeple]

I think it's the app that gives you the pop-up, and the website also has a time limit if you were flagged (Idk)

[buoyant thunder]

Finally

[weak egret]

has anyone successfully verified their age?

[magic venture]

Yall imma crash out soon, I tried to verify with my id again and its not working, idk if its because my id looks different from a normal one? Cause mine goes ↕️ instead of ↔️

[idle finch]

ask for a mods help

[edgy sage]

I’m having the same issue and it’s also stressful

[bleak ivy]

My ID is like that too and it keeps rejecting. I don't have a drivers license due to medical reasons so mine is vertical.

[magic venture]

Same!

[weak egret]

my horizontal one isnt working

[sly geyser]

if it goes vertical its a normal state id. the landscape ones are the driver’s license

[edgy sage]

Yep, same here

[magic venture]

I dont have a driver's license, its my normal id that is like up and down

[earnest cargo]

Now question where the hell to verify the age.

[lusty flicker]

I’m also having the same issue, came to ask cause I’m kinda freaking out lol

[sly geyser]

yeah which that works too because its some form of identification

[verbal mulch]

Guysss why can't I chat with the bots?

[idle finch]

cuz you’re a minor

[floral steeple]

Do you have a time limit?

[sly geyser]

i have a state id too and not a drivers license and they work the exact same so dont worry

[verbal mulch]

Uhh I just opened c.ai after days

[magic venture]

That's the weird part, I tried scanning it (for context im an adult, like legal adult) and its not scanning at all, it keeps saying 'make picture more clear, if having issues please go to support' and I did! And the pictures are clear as day!!!

[strange sentinel]

Jesus, did Glinda get snatched?

[sly geyser]

maybe have brighter room lighting and turn off your camera flash?

[idle finch]

what?

[bleak ivy]

Support won't do anything, they just have an automated message for age verification. My issue was the barcode apparently. Scanned it both upside-down and rightside-up.

[strange sentinel]

Glinda Upland. Wicked, man.

[lusty flicker]

So state id’s work fine cause it keeps throwing me “we couldn’t verify your id try again”??

[earnest cargo]

You're American right?

[idle finch]

DONT SEND SPOILER HERE PLEASE

[strange sentinel]

OH, SORRY.

[fading root]

babes have you not watched the musical yet

[weak egret]

how do i get help with age verification

[edgy sage]

It’s giving me a different error, but I’m nervous that it will suddenly think I’m a minor since I had to get all the way to the ID part

[idle finch]

i wanna watch the movie first 😭

[sly geyser]

try restarting your device or something because state ids work exactly like drivers licenses. the only difference is that drivers licenses show thats its legal for you to drive

[lusty flicker]

Okay cool I’ll try that, thank you. Hopefully it works 😰

[verbal mulch]

I didn't verify my age yet , and isn't it supossed to be on 24th , on US?!😭

[earnest cargo]

I can't even verify at all

[violet hill]

Three days remain lmao.

[verbal mulch]

SAMEE

[earnest cargo]

Like no button existing on app or even web

[sly geyser]

ive heard there is a bug relating to verifications

[sly geyser]

im not sure so dont rely on what i say for confirmation

[verbal mulch]

Will the turning off chats for under 18 thingy happen in Asia too?!

[rustic pecan]

yes

[fading root]

oh, well have fun realizing there was a shorter way to watch the whole plot in almost 3 hours than the almost 5. also, lets probably drop this since we aren't in general and this channel is only for about c.ai 💋 (the vocals in the musical are great too you will not be disappointed)

[coral glacier]

I heard a lot of people having issues so I’m sure it’s being a bit buggy/ the system is a bit overwhelmed.

[quick kite]

Gng I do NOT want to be mistakenly labeled as under 18 but it won’t let me verify on the website, how do I fix this 😭

[verbal mulch]

SAMEE ISSUE

[magic venture]

Yes

[rustic pecan]

AND YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO VERIFY UNLESS ASKED/PROMPTED

[verbal mulch]

NAUUURR I THOUGHT IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IN US

[magic venture]

We're you able to figure out the barcode part?

[verbal mulch]

ohhh I'm not asked or prompted yet

[timber canopy]

Hello Rise! Hope you are doing great

[sly geyser]

globally meaning everywhere

[coral glacier]

Some people at the moment are verify because they got the option but just because they got flagged just to be on the safe side.

[quick kite]

like it asked me once if I can verify my age but it’s not giving me a time limit or anything for the -18 group, does that mean it knows I’m over 18?😭

[verbal mulch]

well I'm in mars..

[magic venture]

Yall its giving me this

[sly geyser]

oh aight then you’re good

[tame tapir]

I can't even do the age verification thing cuz I don't even have my ID yet and I'm 19 ☠️

[magic venture]

Yall its saying make sure my details could be read, ITS CLEAR AS DAY

[sly geyser]

did you restart your device or app

[rustic pecan]

Yes. But they don’t HAVE to do it.

[magic venture]

I tried the app AND the website

[compact trail]

How come have you not receive a government ID?

[idle finch]

Well, i’m not in a rush to know all the plot! And i’m not very familiar with the musical format, so i prefer watching 5 hours of the movie i guess. (But i’ll be watching the Musical too, it sounds great)

[coral glacier]

Correct they don’t have to it optional

[sly geyser]

they havent gone to the dmv probably

[edgy sage]

Yeah literally. ID’s are a long and involved process ppl!!

[tame tapir]

Well I tried to get one but I couldn't because a lot of people were getting that star ID and everything was backed up and then I tried to get it again and the government shutdown stopped that ☠️

[sly geyser]

ah shit that reminds me my id expires in a few months

[compact trail]

I dont like this whole verification update thing, it only takes one data leak to blew it up😔

[rustic pecan]

I’m NGL my ID is expired but I just use my passport for everything.

[sly geyser]

thats going to be a pain in the ass to renew

[verbal mulch]

Saurr if I get asked to verify my age then I have to , otherwise I don't need to and my chats won't be turned off right?

[earnest cargo]

Well in Russia here the button is not existent lol

[thick pond]

Question, if you don’t get the pop up but c.Ai has the “Age verify” in the advanced section do we have to verify?

[sly geyser]

thank goodness i looked on this channel today because i literally forgot it expires soon lol

[coral glacier]

No then it’s optional

[edgy sage]

Exactly what I do!!

Hopefully at least… I don’t want any nasty thanksgiving surprises

[sly geyser]

wait nevermind it expires in 2028 im fine

[thick pond]

Wtv I’ll just give it my ID.

[solar bluff]

Question. Will we still be able to look at chats if we’re minors or will they be completely disabled?

[sly geyser]

bro i have so much shit in my wallet i keep forgetting what expires and what doesnt expire soon

[thick pond]

Honestly all the minors I feel r gonna abandon c.Ai but then again the economy’s gonna fall down faster then the 1921 stock markets during the Great Depression

[bleak ivy]

I gave up a while ago, I'm just enjoying my bots before I lose em.

[verbal mulch]

Uhh soo if I get asked to verify my age then I have to , otherwise I don't need to and my chats won't be turned off right?!

[karmic marsh]

Save your bots, chat
Move the data to a doc file

[magic venture]

I dont wanna thoooooo, I like rping and it helps me write my stories

[weak osprey]

I can’t wait for break to start, I can c.ai hide in my room

[edgy sage]

Correct, that’s what it seems to be.

[plush slate]

Dudeeeee whaaaaaat character ai mobile app keeps crashing for me. It works completely fine up when I log in (cause I've reinstalled a few times already), but the second I've logged in, even with new user, it crashes and throws me out before I can even open the app 😵‍💫

[sly geyser]

sorry i keep yapping about this thats just my usual process of thinking is either typing it out or speaking it out

[gleaming turret]

I thought they just going use what we logged in with first, then if they don't believe your an adult they do face scan and if the face scan says nah you gotta do your ID, gosh this crap is confusing and annoying.......they just really just have to look at what we use to login with to see if people are 18 and older or minors

[neat meadow]

they nailing the coffin even more shut atp

[solar bluff]

Question. Will we still be able to look at chats if we’re minors or will they be completely disabled?

[quick kite]

So am I good if it only asked me once and the pop up never showed up again, or do I HAVE to do the verify thing 😭

[sly geyser]

you can look not type

[verbal mulch]

YAYYYY I CAN SLEEP PEACEFULLY NOW , GOODNIGHT Y'ALL

[proper oyster]

I’m trying the site for the first time and are the responses usually short ? Pipsqueak usually isn’t short at least not on the app. Is there a difference ?

[untold jacinth]

they can look but not chat

[solar bluff]

Kk

[timber canopy]

When they ask you/ get the pop up

[neat meadow]

this is just absurd for an app you don’t even talk to other real people to

[quick kite]

And what am I supposed to do if it doesn’t work on the web cuz that’s all I use 😞

[edgy sage]

They vary wildly, there shouldn’t be a difference in the platform. Might depend on how the bot was created and how long your responses are

[compact trail]

They're digging their own grave (maybe).

[plush slate]

Is the mobile app crashing for anyone else??

[timber canopy]

The pop up on both app and web. If you didn't get it then don't worry
If it doesn't work the verification then send ticket to support.

[gleaming turret]

All this stuff is frustrating......

[proper oyster]

Alright. Maybe it’s how the bot was made because I’m doing long messages

[rustic pecan]

Nothing bad is gonna happen to c.ai from this lmfao

[sly geyser]

if it was bad for them they would try to find loopholes around it

[crude bolt]

What’s happening

[sly geyser]

nothing

[edgy sage]

The bad thing that could happen to the platform is loss of users, potential data breach

[quick kite]

I got it ONCE but it never showed up again and I’m not getting those reminders or a time limit, so I’m confused if it was a mistake and it knows I’m 18 or it just won’t let me verify 😭

[gleaming turret]

I saw the ratings on the app store and it ain't looking good

[sly geyser]

what 5 stars?

[timber canopy]

If you can chat more than 2 hours then you are fine. Also on 24th Nov and 25th Nov if your chats aren't locked then you are fine as well

[sly geyser]

surprised its 5 stars with the amount of hate rants i see

[wanton plover]

Data breach is horrible if people are giving their IDs to the website to verify their age

[gleaming turret]

Nope I checked it yesterday 3.8

[quick kite]

You’re literally a life saver thanks for the info

[sly geyser]

rn it says 4.6 on apple’s app store

[timber canopy]

No problem!, just don't be anxious or worry till you get the popup or the other things I stated

[compact trail]

Sometimes i wonder if removing users review is a thing.

[rustic pecan]

Because minors are not the majority they think they are and the other angry people are just goofballs making noise

[magic venture]

Yall its says something didnt match their records, what do i do? I tried the id thing again

[edgy sage]

I have chats idly open for days at a time on the web so hopefully that counts 😅

[gleaming turret]

Mine says 3.8 hum...strange

[sly geyser]

i leave my character ai tab open on my phone and havent gotten a thing about verification.

[gleaming turret]

I love how on the app store it still says ad-free on the bottom underneath the ratings goodness

[wheat tusk]

I verified myself to get it over with

[neat meadow]

yknow I would verify but I don’t think I’m giving my ID and face to an ai chatting app

[sly geyser]

ok then dont

[idle finch]

you’re not giving to cai, it’s to persona

[neat meadow]

that’s still not very good

[violet hill]

I concur, but no one is forcing you. You can always walk away.

[gleaming turret]

You think listen to our requests and feedbacks after everything happens?

[hexed falcon]

Holy shit. C.ai just got really good chat quality. I'm getting better stuff. Finally.

[sly geyser]

fr

[quick kite]

Even if you give your id and info to the app/web, it’ll delete it right after, no?

[hexed falcon]

A week, i think.

[sly geyser]

the bots finally stopped tweaking out like they’ve been doing all week. the quality is finally relatively normal again

[timber canopy]

A week

[quick kite]

Awww your pfp is so cute

[compact trail]

they will keep it for one week

[wanton plover]

The app won’t keep it, but the AI detector might

[last abyss]

lol is it normal for ai to complement my roleplay?

[hexed falcon]

Thanks! I tried to make my profile aesthetic.

[sly geyser]

it usually does that
sometimes it goes “(ooc: this rp is really interesting)” or something like that

[last abyss]

first time ive ever had that happen

[sly geyser]

its rare for it to happen

[violet hill]

No way to verify that this is true. Persona claims to delete it after a week, but as an American company, they're also obliged to obey the PATRIOT Act.

Hypothetically they could keep it forever. Just in case the federal government ever needs something.

Particularly concerning when you recall that Persona handles IDs and selfies for non-Americans.

[wheat tusk]

The moment I verified my age is 18+ the chat quality got better

[viscid breach]

I wonder where I can verify my age.

[magic venture]

Yall its saying its not working and that ill lose 1:1 chats!! Its not letting me verify and i tried so many times!!

[viscid breach]

A question:
Does this update means C.ai will remove chats, and have chats only for minors and adults?

[gleaming turret]

Here's what bugging me, the thing I read in the announcement about this whole +18 and over things was they going look at what you logged in with and look at your activity with chats to see if your 18 or older or a minor and if they think you minor you have do selfie thing or the ID if the selfie thinks your a minor

[hexed falcon]

Minors can't chat.

[quick kite]

Yeah sometimes the verify thingy just does NOT word, I don’t even get instructions for it 😭

[rancid oyster]

Don't keep trying it, it's probably overloaded.

[viscid breach]

So it will be only an 18+ app?

[hexed falcon]

I don't understand. The verification is bugging you?

[wheat tusk]

Just go onto your account go to settings and look for advanced you will see the thing that says verify age

[hexed falcon]

Kind of. They're trying to figure out a better way for the kids to chat.

[magic venture]

Like for me it did the face scan thing, then the id and it says the pictures aren't clear although they are clear as day!! Im 21 bro!! Accepting the ID!!

[viscid breach]

I don't understand why it was necessary tho.
This wasn't how it started 2 years ago or so what.

[compact trail]

... And other third party apps activity.

[rancid oyster]

The verification system is probably bugged and overloaded

[gleaming turret]

Yep

[magic venture]

What else can you do on the app if you can't chat!?

[zinc birch]

You can make streams

[gleaming turret]

Well no not bugging me but it's very confusing you know

[quick kite]

It’s probably just bugging, I say wait a while or else it js won’t work entirely. I am sorry that’s happening to you, though, I’m getting annoyed js thinking that it won’t work I don’t wanna imagine going through it 😭

[compact trail]

They encourage minors to use videos... Streams... Smth like that

[spiral remnant]

Can't believe... They forget about usss they forget adultsss moddd Listen usss We need freedom tooo We are humans too (well Idc anyway about c.ai )

Yall im right?? Right

[viscid breach]

Really good question. Honestly, I think these updates just makes the app loosing users. A few years ago, this app were made for fun, with no strict stuff like that. Now many things changed, and in my opinion, it's not so good.

[compact trail]

Yes... King.

[magic venture]

Like dude im gonna cry, not really but like im getting so annoyed, I dont want to lose this stuff, ive been on c.ai since it was only a website! I use this app to make stories, rp, and just relieve stress! Im getting so annoyed, j dont want to lose my shit!!

[rancid oyster]

They didn't forget about adults, they're actually paying attention to us now more than the minors.

Only thing they won't do is take any safety off, Bob is staying

[rustic stirrup]

Don’t jinx it bro

[idle finch]

ask. mods. for help.

[forest furnace]

Does this mean you will finally remove the filter for over 18 users?

As we’ve always said, our goal is to make Character.ai an engaging, creative, and safe space for all. As long as your content meets our community guidelines, you can continue to create and chat on our platform. We're continuing to fine-tune our models to reduce false positives of the filter and improve the quality of your user experience.

[magic venture]

How!?

[rancid oyster]

Ershin we saw that

[rustic stirrup]

There ya go💀💀

[quick kite]

Don’t worry, I’m sure the verification thingy will clear and you’ll get verified. Plus, I don’t think that everything is gonna disappear on 24/25, right? At least everything will still be there and you’ll can try verification again!

[spiral remnant]

Yea but... Uuuh we are already tired of ts RPG bruuuh we even aren't allowed use violence... We only can Fucking rpg, with family talking and Manners... Bruuh these are good for kidss.....

[idle finch]

ASK KAPPA, THEY’RE RIGHT HERE

[compact trail]

O.

[viscid breach]

I'm in the same shoe.
I really hope there will be some fixing done related on that. As an adult, I feel bad for all the creative minor bot creators who put effort in the bots and having great skills for writing RP.

[rancid oyster]

I can do violence but to a limit, I can't go all out in a bloodbath carnage

[forest furnace]

What can I do in the under-18 experience?

There are still so many ways you can exercise your creativity and build new worlds. As part of our under-18 experience, you can:

• Scroll through the Character.ai Feed, share your own posts, and react to feed posts with stickers
• Revisit and reread your chat history with Characters you’ve chatted with
• Use Imagine Chat to create images or snippets from chats
• Playback audio from Characters
• Create with AvatarFX
• Author a Scene
• Create Streams of Characters

[gleaming turret]

[austere beacon]

[idle finch]

OH HES RIGHT HERE I TOLD U

Agree!!

Kappa don’t hide from us now

[magic venture]

Kappa bro!!! Help please!!!

[compact trail]

Nope

Will u18 ever get the chance to chat again?

While we are currently eliminating the ability for under-18 users to chat, we’ll closely watch how AI evolves and will adjust our platform as new developments are made.

can i have help verifying my age it keeps giving me an error message when i put my drivers licenses in

[viscid breach]

I don't understand this update. I find it really saddening.

[wheat tusk]

Dudes most of us aren't -18 us adults don't need our hands held

[quick kite]

Thank you! She’s been my idol since I was a kid 🩷

[rancid oyster]

Some do..

[austere beacon]

the whole id thing is weird

[gleaming turret]

Sadly you can only look at the chats if under 18

[magic venture]

Bro please!! I tried age verifying like atleast 5 times!! Im 21 bro!! Please help!! It says the pictures are clear even though they are crystal clear!!

[spiral remnant]

Nah broo don't trust.. and give your id pics.. u dont know what happened?? When users id got leaked?? In here??

[rancid oyster]

Stop trying it if it isn't working, it'll only break it more. Just wait.

[harsh shoal]

@weak egret Send an Age Assurance support ticket here so the team can look into your issues: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259

[weak egret]

im not gonna send my id😭😭

[rustic stirrup]

Google and YouTube is doing it too idk

[still jetty]

😒

[idle finch]

Can u guys understand this is not cai fault. It’s a fucking LAW

[spiral remnant]

Driver license... They still can do something with that

[floral steeple]

It's a temporary bug when it comes to the verification system, but I think it will get fixed by the time the 25th comes around.

-# Take the date as a grain of salt.

[austere beacon]

if your like, email and stuff you signed up with is over 18 already do they make you veritify anyways

[tawny wagon]

Is it?

[rancid oyster]

Yes

[toxic pawn]

Hahaha, Missa, don't make that face at a mod ||(q rebelde)||

[rustic stirrup]

Yeah once I saw Google and YouTube doing it and Instagram is gonna follow I knew we was fucked

[idle finch]

YES, they’re putting the age verification thing because of a new california law, omg 😭

[spiral remnant]

Mod??

[gleaming turret]

Huh I never had Google or YouTube do it but Google keep up with your birthday so it's all good

[compact trail]

I think im lucky enough to be born in 2006 😆

[spiral remnant]

That's Usa girl did u forget?

[rustic stirrup]

Even then they make u verified

[tawny wagon]

Ah, California. Of course.

Had no idea there was a law. Kind of sad it came down to that point.

[compact trail]

I never knew that.

[floral steeple]

Right! 🥹

[magic venture]

I did thst like 3 times bro and it gives me the same automated message that I did so many times!!

[wheat tusk]

Are you talking about the shitty California law that got passed?

[idle finch]

Yes, guess where cai is? USA, so… THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS OF CALIFORNIA!!

[rancid oyster]

It's not shitty, it's for the better of minors...

[toxic pawn]

Pass the ticket number to a moderator

[harsh shoal]

You don't need to spam them. They'll get to your ticket

Just need to be patient

[floral steeple]

Yup! Since C.AI originated from California, they have to follow the laws there, too. Since California is also strict with AI, C.AI can't really do anything about it.

[magic venture]

I didnt know, im sorry, i thought it was just an automated throw away message, I apologize for that, its happened to me before that companies just throw my messages away

[idle finch]

Can’t you be patient? They’re not gonna see your ticked in one day if that’s what you expect

[weak egret]

will i get a email when my tickets closed

[quick kite]

Mr Kappa bro I got a question for you, does the age verification work on the website? It’s not working for me and I already submitted a ticket and I don’t wanna spam

[toxic pawn]

@harsh shoal I don't want to mention you, but... How are you? (besides getting me hungry yesterday with french fries... 😡)

[austere beacon]

how does the age assurance thing even work though?

[idle finch]

YES. It’s simple, very simple

[supple condor]

so will they completely remove your ability to chat with chracters
