ok , even if u lobbied the government to make laws, comapny to ban children on apps, if the children u said is so desperate, so persistent, obscessed, do u think it will still stop them?
Ershin's doing good.. badly needs more coffee though.. how are you??
You're gonna need all the coffee you can get for tomorrow XD
It will limit a good percentage.
Thats not what I was saying at all 🥀
Imagine having to verify age lol
That too!
not effective to those persistent, truly evil children u mentioned about
It’s not that much. Under half.
How many coffes have you had today?
Whens the update happening I'm excited to see everyone under 18 tweak out
I wish I could send you some coffee lol, and I'm doing well thank you. 🙂
Tomorrow for some people in the USA
Nah cause it will be easy as hell for those teens to fake the verification thing
It will still help. Would you rather it not be in place at all?
they need more now with all the tik toks and just everything im seeing already..
Supposedly tomorrow if Ershin can confirm.
You just evil 💔
tomorrow. get ready for the freakouts
Yep.
I’m not really that excited..about this at all ..
I m really don’t want to lose my access to chat with my bots (I’m not under 18,I’m 24 )
And I’m really anxious..
It’s time to prepare the bunker xd
I can’t wait to argue with thousands of children tomorrow as they spam all of the chats
But then the mods are gonna have to deal with moody teenagers chat. 
fellow 3fs fan spotted
I meant for minors wise, it will limit a good oercentage of them from getting further addicted
3FS THE GOAT
is verified channel considered a safezone?
We gotta get the barricades out
It’s a live selfie. Persona takes the picture on their site. And you can’t fake the IDA because of the selfies
Unsure
I can’t wait for slow mode as well. They’re going to be spamming so much.
Indeed it is a selfie
Imma hide in the plus channels mostly looool
when a children is so persistent that they fake their identites, trying to use someones ID, theres nothing more that can stop them, if u impose a ban, ur actually gambling with a small possibilites that u can stop those evil children , at the expense of all other 99% innocent childrens
Hide in plus general
This will be the apps downfall. I'm calling it now. The app will probably be dead by the end of 2026
I will hide in the booster channel, very few people there
Wait about the USA is it the language or country problem?
FRR 🤝
Y’all say this everyday
It could be since there's a chunk of people who actually verified so it's possible
nope
Nah
nice ragebait👍
Yea. Gotta prepare myself.
Nah
aight bet
No joke, the CEO is allowing his 6 year old daughter to continue chatting. I'm 18 and I'm willing to switch if someone makes an ai chat bot like character ai but better!
maybe i was wrong about calling only DS schizophrenic
Said this when they added ads too
They’re making millions of dollars from just adults. I think the app will be fine. children are not only one’s profiting off the app.
no need to concern yourself.. Ershin managed to get cool beans earlier from the market.. sooo coffee every hour is possible. 
The GOOD, which is a larger percentage of minors I figure will go find other ways to entertain themselves. If I have to choose between the majority of good children and the selfish desires of bad children, I will side with what helps the majority of children who don't understand that its damaging them.
This isn’t exactly what he said tho? He said he wants to teach her responsible AI usage.
12k or 11k ppl already left the server💔..
its quite interesting u know the info of CEO's daughter🥀
Look it up
check #📣︱announcements
YOU’RE COUNTING GULP..
IT'S JUST FUNNY TO SEE
It's on fucking Reddit too
Don't know why you're saying it like that btw.
This update isn’t the end of the world you guys be acting like somebody cut off your leg and began swinging it in the air
He talked in an interview about his daughters tbf
we need an 18+ channel for tomorrow so we wont have people freaking out there
Because of the update?
But it’s honestly crazy how his six-year-old daughter can continue chatting and 16+ can’t
Pleeeeease
The law but yeah..
hello guys
Exactly
anyone feels like the app is so slow rn💔
🤷🏽♀️ I guess family members get a pass
It is
#💬︱general message heh.. 
It's dumb, but he probably can manipulate it for her so nothing bad is shown. Still bs tho
i use browser....🥀
I’m 17 I don’t know how to feel about the update. I just know I don’t hate it but HELLOOOO.
His spoiled ass daughter does (I don't know if she is but I'm just being dramatic, I'm sure she's a great kid)
CONTEXT ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER:
wha upd??
yes.. but we're on Discord right now.. 
Oh y’all had me thinking that it was just without supervision. As long as it’s supervised, it shouldn’t be bad lol
So are users 16+, that's a damn excuse
it's with his supervision, which is more than 99% of parents
I fear tomorrow the server will be REALLY REALLY active..
50/50
No, I meant to reply to someone else, and idk how to fix it. That's my bad. It's not you, I promise.
....
wha r u guys yappin about
i wanna ask sum questions....
We already have parental insights I think disabling the chats for minors is crazy though
It’s his account under supervision so he knows EXACTLY what she’s doing. People misrepresenting this smh.
they’re yapping nonsense what’s your questions?
🫂
Ask the question chat
Why couldn’t we just have the parents see the chats? I think that would’ve been more effective. why not let the parents monitor what they want their kids to see within the app
Not all parents care
how many messages I can pin? i mean it depends on the size of the chat or what?
ohh boy
15
True
True
They don’t want minors on the app and as a business they can do that.
no matter how big they are?
I don’t think my mom gives a fuck. she did when I was younger though, but I’m 17 so i’m gonna be an adult in like a couple of months
No, it's the state of California. It's their fault tbh.
nope. you get 15 total pins for character ai
Mhm
Oh im sorry 💔💔 I misunderstood then
reading just the snippet of it 
Its okay we all make mistakes 💔💔
ok , assuming there are 100 apps , all different kinds , 10 of them got truly evil children trying to exploit the app , or use it to do something bad , what u do is ban those apps right?
okay , now those evil children are scattered around 50apps , still ban those app away from children? fine , now only 40 left
still keep going? okay , as u pushing further and further , most of the apps now banning children to use it
which leads to 2 conclusion , minor , at least before the age of 13, only:
-
gets to be completely away from internet , totally isolated
-
gets to watch teletubbies , sesame streets
Evil children?? 😭
which is fine , im adult anyway
Tomorrow chaos erupts, how do you feel about that Ershin?
???????
“evil children” 😭 ❓
Tbh I doubt there will ever be a 100% fix to this problem. Addiction, depression, altered/influenced opinions, other behavioral issues... it's just the risk of AI and we can only do so much. But this is a good start in my opinion at least they are doing something
Nope. CAI chose to remove minors themselves. They took an extra step past the law.
back in my day we used to watch cbeebies
yah but is the number same for like both small and big messages?
i mean Can I pin 15 messages as big as big ahh paragraphs?
tbh any minor genuinely deeply upset by this update just needs to get off the app anyways
why are we just calling all children evil now 💔
Hell yeah
K
cai devs: how can we make the app better?
also the cai devs: haha let's break the backwards swipe just to mildly irritate them
@steep matrix plz dont question mark me , u know who im debating with
doesnt matter the length of the messages you can still pin them
😭
As an evil 18 year old, I can confirm, I am evil
Wait no…
I thought minors r only getting no access to chatting!.. man idk forgive me because it's like 5am and I haven't slept..
Will all mods be working tomorrow or just a few?
🥩
Younger gen z and gen alpha who are active online are annoying. Sorry 💔
I mean here’s the quote. Removing minors from chatting was their call.
thank you!
also bro which style to use for big role plays? pipsqueak or roar or watever [don got c.ai+]
Adults ain’t saints either. Yall are insufferable on REDDIT
pipsqueak is making me frustrated they are acting dumb on purpose 💔
Why are we having the same conversation we had like five hours ago?
Only it takes is three scrolls for them to complain about something on cai 💔
i've worded my messagedifferently TWENTY TIMES.
I don't go on reddit tbh. And yeah I agree that's true. Society is just a mess right now in general
Pipsqueak an deep squeak have absolutely been trash and I think the developers know this and they’re not fixing it
@tight quest before i sleep , let me ask u one genuine question
do u really think theory of
if someone saw XXX, they will learn from the evil and become the true bad guy```
valid?
well mine isn't slow but its acting weird
mine too!! and acting a bit weird :((
i dont even know what were talking about anymore
this differs me and u
I’m so lost actually
Three or more topics
same
For the past month.
i just went here to say that pipsqueak is acting dumb and that i worded a message differently 20 times
It’s not just you my c.AI became awfully slow
oh man
I take that as a yes that all mods will be working xd
good , looks like we get to have chances to see lead mods lol
Mods working overtime because they don’t get paid for this
Why do you think people call children "impressionable". They are easily manipulated by others actions, tone, intentions, even looks. So yes, if someone is doing something bad in front of them, and they stick around long enough, they can become bad as well. That goes for all humanity.
Mods gonna go through it tomorrow 😭😭😭
y'all is your c.ai closing randomly when trying to edit or create new bots or is it just me?
How many mods are there actually, like 8?
😭😭
Wait, I am quite confused. Minors won't be able to chat but would be able to have access to other features or minors won't be able to use the app at all?
AVENGERS! (Tony Stark
I'm just tired that all the answers I get are being cut off ~~
Save me
They have access to other features
They just can’t chat.
ershin, i feel bad for all of you mods for what's gonna happen. godspeed salute
wait what’s happening tomorrow 
we’re gonna need every mod for what hell will be coming tomorrow
Oh, alright. Thank you so much 
They’re gonna start burning the witches tomorrow
I felt bad for minors and also people who get falsely flagged 😓
The mods preparing with all the copy/paste texts ✌🏻
Thank you Rise! 
I’m so mad about the age restriction I don’t get why they did it
🫂
get the automod ready to help with the spam
Mine is slow
Everyday 💔💔
wouldn't it be funny if they locked things down like it was in 2023
Mine is slow af
They could just mute the server ngl
They gave us all the info we need to be able to make sense of what's happening. They're gonna torture the mods to explain to pissed off ppl what's already been explained. I feel bad 😭
I hope you and the other mods survive tomorrow
Because minors need to stay away from horrible stuff on the Internet, and this is one of them
I'm glad it's not just me
I think they fixed it mine stopped being slow
same here, barely working 🙁
Chat is going way too fast.. what the hell is happening tomorrow?
Judgment day
I do agree minors shouldn’t use ai ,I been I have to keep away my younger sibling not to download this app
Doomsday
trust me vro there will be THOUSANDS of complaints in the feedback channel tomorrow
Damn it's true, good luck to all the mods, sleep as much as you can (or don't so you don't miss the chaos)
Hence why they should mute it 🥺
I don’t think they’re getting any sleep tomorrow 💔
general will be worse tomorrow because its always hell there (and here)
u can say its valid of children below 10 , not above 10
because anyone that lives in a civilization for more than 10 yrs , will have least decency to know what is right and wrong
if a 12+ yo kids dont know killing others are wrong and they will actually do it after they watched a movie , their parents or their mental status are a much bigger problem to blame on
Y’all still talking about tomorrow ?
General 1 is just a big friend group with the same individuals who jump on everyone else
Let's feed them tomorrow with very much love and caffeine so they can survive
not the movie maker , not the industry
Bonus if they have nitro and they’re also in booster chat
Can a moderater explain to me why I got muted for the rubber rats saying?
I feel bad for the minors who are addicted and will just get ripped away from cai. It’s a good thing but it’s also kinda bad.
What's happening tomorrow ? (in short, pls, I didn't read anything)
General will be going at 1000 mph
Rip the minors I guess
#📣︱announcements read instead. It’s good for you.
they changed the release to the 25th im pretty sure
Minors won't be able to chat with bots anymore
Yes rip us. no more wholesome chats with deku sensei 💔
dont they like teach children that killing is bad at like 9 or 10😭 .. I'd doubt a 12+ kid wouldn't know that killing is illegal
Nope they said Monday first
Tbh, I don't see why we are debating. I agree with you on that. Exactly why the restrictions should be put in place—to stop children from being influenced. And while it may not help all children on this app, it will hopefully help most. And that's better than doing nothing at all.
we need a long slowmode tomorrow
Oh a fellow Deku fan !
I’m so cooked tmrw
Like 5 minutes
Same bruh 😭
Same
Yess! He’s my favorite character
Pls speed I need this..😭🙏🏾
All AI based in California will have age verification
Is age assurance only for the US rn?
Me too ! I love him
I don’t even know what to tell you because I only use cai. Time to go to ChatGPT I guess. 💔
Does this mean I gotta go age verify before 12😭
Chai? But it kinda sucks
Yes
welp, i do agree on banning children to use internet until theyre at least 12 lol
We can’t suggest other apps here. FYI.
I only really use c.ai now because of the character definition option and stuff
When creating a bot
Oh my bad
even discord minimum age is 13
I was making rpgs at least I’ll still be able to do that with the new update
Bro this whole update thing is stupid as shit
i don't wanna lose all my stuff bro💔
Even 12 is too low
I think more like 14 😭
I see
i'm just not sure about the age verification system
Let the app be 17+ I beg thy (i’m not relieve dreading tomorrow. I’m just gonna miss my chats.)
Sucks to be a minor
Just pop out bots every week and let the praise fuel ur ego
Kidding... unless
not really
No nobody will lose chats they won't erase it ugh 💔
16+ is good I say
Unless…

this tbh
It sucks but it’s like that unfortunately
It’s law…
18+ is a legal adult in the US so that’s why it’s 18.
so once you age verify you're good to go? you'll be able to chat again?
the server got mad at me when I tried to recommend other sites 🙁
Yes
Yes
16 should know what is right and wrong , if he didnt know , he will never know for the rest of his life anyway🥀
Even 18 feels too young yknow? I feel like 20 is better with how fricked up our society is
Thats not allowed in the server soo..
You can’t recommend sadly
But they're also acting like EVERYONE is using the app for unsafe activity
You can't recomment other apps
well obviously because its for verified adults
Don’t recommend the forbidden fruit The only good app is cai….
Oh so I have to verify or ill have no other option ☹️
That’s forbidden
flipping okay then : D
It's law and it's not that stupid because even if it can be very interesting when it comes to mental health... it can also become very much dangerous (addiction and more)
So yeah, it sucks, I agree on that, but it's also not quite stupid either and important
I agree buuuut that’s a hot topic lol
Sobs in minor.
Yeah go read a book kids ! Like me :)
Roblox and now c.ai💔💔
My last year as a minor and it’s going out with a banger
LMAO BRO LITERALLY
Same bro like 2 hours on c.ai just to have to wait longer so you can use it again 💔
How do you even verify age?
Like it’s so dumb 😭
Settings > Advanced > Verify Age
Go read a George Orwell book and then come back and start a book club on here or sumn 😔
it's in settings im pretty sure
I don’t even know how many months I gotta waittttt BRO NOOOO. honestly, the update isn’t really that bad.
for US , banning weeds and guns are way more important than AI chatbots that talk to u when off class
I just understood your name and I love it that's all I have to say
Go to advanced in settings or it’ll pop it up if you get flagged
As an American I believe in my right to bare arms.
or it just randomly shows up because it did it for me
Im too lazy to verify but I gotta keep my 2k followers updated
Aaah you got the pun :D
I’m cooked actually
Technically speaking I'm French but my brain wasn't working until now
Rip
In the app or from website?
It's gonna be a long run at midnight and following morning so you better be prepared 🥀
App
OOOHHH
I don't got any option like that?
Uh??
i live in a nation where guns are fully banned since 70-80 yrs ago
You probably haven't gotten it yet or you weren't flagged
Germany im guessing?
Thanks a lot!
im actually probably not even going to show up tomorrow because dealing with this is the cherry on the shit sundae
its in the website as well i think
oh aight
Fuck this, I'm gonna go write short stories.
No problem! :D
You don't want to start a whole new week in pure chaos? Weird
Both
Back to Ao3 ig
I will only lurk for a bit but otherwise I will just be gaming and chat on cai
I'm in Europe if that makes a difference
I know right? That’s the best bit of a new week
Ohhh, yeah, its only happening in the US right now
Why would you ban guns though
japan ban guns since 1958
ahh got it
European kids are safe lmao
Blocked
Ahh, I see
ok so im going to cali
With popcorns and all, that will be a nice movie for many hours
Fr
I’m going to sit in this chat and watch the chaos happen
To make the joke last longer, I’m actually gonna block her ass
because apparently in a country that bans guns will have less serious incident and causalties??
Damn, so many people typing at the same time. What even is happening today?
Chaos
Update
One day before minors being banned
It’ll be worse tomorrow friend
Watch the general go crazy on the day its happening though
and absolutely buns update
cause no one can use handguns and rifles to massacre?
popcorn for the audience
I heard it already started on Reddit by the way
It shouldn't be a debate in the first place
Same actually. I only have "delete account"
Brace for the storm
It has 
Nice, that was needed honestly. I don't mind it since I'm not the targeted public.
Same

Eh if you think now is fast... Yeah take a deep breath to embrace tomorrow or at least the next few days
It’ll be out tomorrow if you haven’t gotten it yet
Where do my cai just go.
And I live in Europe so I'll wait some months before it'll reach the entire world.
Oh 😭💔
I got hungry
yall is it me or cai just slowed down suddenly
Pjo pfp spotted
I live in Europe, so I'm not concerned and I'm not the targeted audience so yeah.
me too
Either it’ll put it in your screen if you’ve been flagged or it’ll put it in advanced which is optional
For me too💔
A lot of countries aren't like America. They don't have the Ammendments which are 100% unchangeable laws.
YEAHH epic tag 🤝 peak knows peak
It's telling me to try again later
I live in Europe too!
🥹🙌
i mean sure u can defend ur right from second commandment , just dont forget guns bring death, rather than bad knowledge from adult content to children
Restore it
What even is that first recommended
the recommended bots are frying me
Happened to me too, just restart the app
Hiiii people
and death seems way more serious
why are these bots still existing
I don’t even know what the first one was. I don’t even talk to bots like THAT??
@steep matrix restore the subscription or restart the app
Anyway, I'll go back to cAI. I have the feeling that there's going to be a lot of messages being sent at the second who are going to slow down my phone a lot. So I'll probably stay in the tech talk channel since it's way calmer for me.
yeah but they were talking about US, but I’m not tryna have a political discussion in this server if you get me 🤷♀️
Whats happening? I just came back here
So. The issue here is kids getting kicked off the platform??
Me too!
What day does age assurance start?
Best of luck out there
It worked thanks
Since last week for some people
YAYYY AND NEZUKOOOO!!!
Nah, I get ya.
It’s already under advance settings in the app
How to delete the screenshot because what the hell was that recommended bot
Okay, like, I need an answer or something. So, chat is only disabled when you dont verify, right? If you verify and it says youre under 18, do you get your chat back or no?
I don’t have it yet. I am in the uk
yeah like do we get our saved bots and chats back whenever it thinks we’re not minors
Yup
THIS!! IM WONDERING THIS ALSO
hands behind ur back , now!
and start whistling
i rlly want to use c.ai+
worst mistake of my life was checking the reddit its so bad rn
Oo alr cause that’s what I was worried about cause I have a shit load of bots saved and chats
Guys, any idea on what is the charms thing, and what for?
When the new fnaf movie comes out I'll start again
How bad is it 1-10
the persona limit is soo annoying because I have a large description which can describe a character I want to use perfectly
11
Once ur 18, ur bots will appear so no worries about thay
There’s a limit?!! What’s the limit????
i rlly would love to use c.ai+ or is there a free trial?
Thank you^^
If you are under 18 you will no longer be able to chat 1:1 with bots. You have to be over 18 to chat with bots.
c.ai is free
Hey is anyone else not being able to swipe back left on their chat bot’s responses or is it just my phone that’s acting up?
That’s such a dumb feature omg
750
I think this age assurance stuff is so wrong.. they are literally scanning our chats
There's no free trial unfortunately
cai never works when I use it for the first time in days omg
oh
Jesus Christ I only have like 10..
Just a question for the verification thing, even after the update happens, you can verify later on, right? Like if you turn 18 months after the update you can still verify?
Yes
They do come out with discounts every so often tho so be on the lookout
The company has to do it to protect themselves from law suits. 💚
What 💔
Thank you
i will be but it’s been a long time since the last one
IM NOT A PERV YOU GUYS!! PLEASE!!! 😭😭😭😭
o
Yeah 3 months 🥲
Hopefully another soon
How does the feature work essentially if you get flagged first?
no one said you were?
Yvw
I’m joking..
If you get the good to go it’ll look like this
Praying I get this when I verify
How do I even verify if I don’t have an ID
You can’t then
You can’t.
ok jeez
Well actually let me re word that you can but you have to look over 18+
Otherwise then you can’t
does anyone know servers wont be slow anymore
Omg should I glue a beard onto my face
It can tell…
Would that even work
i tried the selfie verify thing and its absolute dog poopoolisus
It doesn't even detect your face even with good light
( not on cai but roblox )
POSSIBLY
There's a verification pop-up for web too, right? So if I never got that, I'm in the clear? Or is it only app
It doesn't matter if you verify or not if you are under 18,you will still be unable to chat with bots. Verifying is to prove you are over 18 so you can get access to chat to the bots.
They’re slow for plus users right now so they’re just slow
There’s not a possibility
So theyre basically telling minors to leave
thank gawd
It worked well for me
i guess my face is not good enough for the ai to verify 🥀
I'm looking forward to seeing how this server will be after the verification shows up for everyone
It doesn’t hurt to hope
They are protecting themselves from law suits. There are other features besides chat to the bots, that -18 can still use on the app.
I hate how I can’t use gifs…
watch as people make a literal cult or this become a full blown war
Ahh okay
It will def be a disaster
If it does happen the cops will get involved or military but I doubt it
who knows anything can happen
I’ll be there in a roof watching with a bucket of popcorn
It won’t your thinking of possibilities that won’t happen
I'm now just wondering if the whole discord server will explode after tmr-
military 😭 son 😭
🤔 ah yes lets tell this user that possibilities can't happen !
man am i allowed to say probably or stuff or what
It will…there is no wondering
Probably just cops I don’t think the military cares
hello!
watch every mod waking up
unironically popcorn sounds good right now
It def will 😭
how are cults or wars similar to an ai app 😭 lmao
Yes
Ershin said all employees are working tomorrow
??? i didn't say they'd make an ai app or military ai app
ALL😭
oh well 🥀
no you said watch as people make a literal cult or a war, im saying how is that similar to an ai app (c.ai) 😭 you missed the joke im crying
I don’t know all I know is I got the good to go on the verification
...joke ?
im sorry but the joke was less understandable than ps trying to tell me something at 0:53 am
wait or is it 12 or 0
Why did my c.ai+ subscription just vanish?!
its fine if u missed a joke bro chill
I havent got the verification yet sooooooo
hit restore or restart app
Restore it
How do I do that
Click on get c.ai or go to subscriptions and click the restore button
It’ll automatically restore it for you and I think it’s doing that for all c.ai plus users
Did you do it?
Okay it's back for now, didn't need to do anything
It's so annoying when you're sitting up in your bed slightly and your back start hurting so you have to lay fully down
Yeah it just suddenly came back without me doing anything
Or you have to sit up
Tbh me cause I'm on my rest day rn cause weightlifting makes me really sore lmao
Finally my cai worked
Y'all is it safe to put my id to verify or nah
Did you get it already?
I'm just hoping it won't be like rblx, like how good of lighting do you need in order for the selfie thing to work???
It has to be pretty good, but even after you have to take a pic of ur id
My app is sooo sloooow omg
Like tbh I am not sending them a pic of my id
I haven’t gotten anything
Lucky! I'm bouta crash out of it keeps asking me to send them pictures of private info
But I’m 19, so I should be good
But there's no way it'll flag the second time and make you do it again
Character.ai does NOT see any IDs or Selfies submitted to Persona
Hi Kappa how are you?
Im just waiting on this to flag me, its giving me the 2 hr limit and stuff, unless I can go straight through persona?
i wish this can be pinned
Persona checks to see if a user is 18+, then it gives the go-ahead to Character to give you access if they know you're 18+
If you don't get the pop-up, you don't have to verify
How come i have the 2 hr limit then?
Same for me or? Because I haven’t gotten anything that I need to verify
It either because the birthdays you set-up deemed you as under-18 when you made your accounts or the age assurance systems flagged you
What if it doesn't verify even with using a ID after the selfie doesn't work? Does it give you a cool down then another chance? Do you still have to do selfie or Id check with ticket help?
If that's the case, follow these steps
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/43331440781723-Why-am-I-not-seeing-the-Age-Assurance-pop-up
Can someone help me? Why does c.ai make an automatic default persona for my chats? It’s annoying and when I turn default off for all chats on that persona it changes another one😭 has this happened to someone?
Send a ticket if for some reason you're having issues with verification
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259
Team is aware of this issue
Ohhh😭
Latest version and doesnt show up, can I just go through persona site itself?
Are the also aware the verify age is not working too?
Because I quote with unable to verify from the setting verify age
No, send a ticket if you're having issues
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259

How does the age verification work?
Do u put ur birthday in or
Selfie or ID
You have to turn your head left to right then put your id In.
-# Your profile is gorgeous 
Oof that sucks
"I confirm that I will not send my birthday, or any attachments of my personal identification (including selfies or photo-IDs)." Shows this aswell, do I just write in the additional info or just ignore it?? (Sorry if im bugging you with these 20 questions)
Tyy!! Your profile is beautiful too
No problem! Thank you too 
This verification process is so time consuming!
Yep, just right the issues you're having with verification
ur pfp is so cutesy
Just don't include any personal info
Alr
you can include screenshots of any errors you have encountered
c.ai+ discounts are now a myth
So is this permanent or just a test update?
Aw ty! Yours is pretty.

The update is because of recent laws
it's kind of a law abiding thing 😭
tysmmm its vance hopper from the black phone :3
people are blaming c.ai but it's literally because they're just abiding laws so they don't get in any more serious trouble than they've already gotten into
Oh! I heard it but never saw the two movies, are they good?
C.ai is in california and has to follow laws in california so they went above and beyond to be safe
The email was instantly sent to me
And it said abt the same things plus a couple of others so ill try them
the first movie is FIRE but the second movie is ehhh...
is it me or the models finally have good memories again
Is it bad?
deepsqueak i mean.
nah im playing ITS FIRE AS WELL
Hi i have a question. Where do I find the age verification in the mobile app?? I didn't see it anywhere in my settings.
Mhm, and for the moment it's only for the USA. It will be worldwide in some months, I suppose that it'll be here at the beginning of the next year, maybe.
Okay! Do you have any idea where to watch them?
u can watch the first one on fandango at home and the second one i think its still in theaters
Then some on the subreddit are hoping that C.ai becomes 18+, which has a 0% chance of happening.
Ohh okay tyy!
nppp 
Hmm, anyway, I still have some time before the verification system will be worldwide. No idea when, but it'll be worldwide in some months.
No, only those that were marked below 18.
If you haven’t been marked, you don’t have a limited timer.
So, my question is, what will happen to Character.ai tomorrow? Will users who are minors not be able to use the site? I didn't quite understand.
But I hope it doesn't affect the content created. I follow many accounts (I don't know if some creators are minors, but if they are), what will happen to their content? Will it still be usable for chatting?
Yes, and it's only for the USA at the moment.
This is what the announcements and moderators said. It will be worldwide in some months.
can people get verified with just a photo or is it a photo THEN an ID
photo first, if they aren't sure you're 18+ or you failed, then ID

Respectfully tf is that?
So if I understand it correctly the age verification in the mobile app isn't rolled out in the hole world yet?
Not yet.
Will you only have to prove you’re above 18 once and then that information stays on your account? Or will you have to do it numerous times if they like mistakenly flag you or something?
Hey where do I put a complaint. My c.ai keeps telling me I am not subscribed to c.ai+ but I am
The age verification system is only for the USA for now. It will be worldwide in some months, no idea of the exact date tho.
it would stay in your account
Ya sure? Im in the UK and got their 2 hr limit
The UK it's a part of Europe anymore (I guess?), so I don't know.
Didn’t UK have something similar anyways or just Britain?
Rn im tryna fix it but the verification doesnt show up on my app nor will a ticket help
I live in Europe and I don't have the popup about the age verification yet, so I have to wait some months before getting it where I am.
Oww okay thank you! I was looking for it but couldn't find it anywhere in my settings. I'm from the EU so will just look out for the update when u get ut
Cuz I opened a ticket but got told abt to try updating app to its latest version and log back out and back in (spoiler it didnt show up)
Entirety of the UK
Well, that explains why the age verification system is also for the UK. The USA and the UK have the same laws when it comes to that.
Is anyone having issues with c.ai+? And my refreshes aren’t changing the messages the messages are just repeating every time I reroll/refresh
And with what's happening in the UK these last weeks, I'm not surprised for that to happen.
Yeah but im waiting on it to show up in my app for verify my age
It wants my id 😭
From my own limited knowledge, C.ai did say they start in the US first then go out. Maybe it just thought your account was American. don’t take my word on it though, I could be very wrong.
It gave me the popup abt the whole under 18 stuff before I went to florida for 2 weeks
Ngl wanting an id is kinda crazy. What if they get hacked ??? This happens all the time to huge companies 😭
But who knows..
Ill figure out in the morning if its flagged me to being unable to use the site anymore
Persona is reliable and isn't shady unlike other verification systems
raids happen before.. team can deal with it..
Can someone help me? I've tried removing the default characters but I can't because it simply won't let me remove them. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm afraid for tomorrow. I don't know if it's a good thing that I'm European. Good luck to anyone who's American 
Quick question say someone under 18 made a bot that we chatted to, after the update will it vanish?
I just wonder if the discord server will just become temporarily unavailable because of the spamming and freaking out tmr
I wouldn't be surprised if this server will be temporarly closed tomorrow. That would be something to witness 
I have a question about the update tomorrow, will they be able to see our chats now?
Good luck then
If your account was already a minor one then yeah you'll get it, flagging and verification is only in the states rn
They've always been able to see them
I tried another ticket showing the issue that I cant verify through the app
AND THE EMAIL SHOWN ME THE SAME THING THAT WAS SENT 10 MINS AGO??
But I highly doubt they ever did read them.
Only users in the US can verify rn
you can still access the Characters..
But they only read it if they suspect something illegal going on, am I right?
Yeah ofc, way too many users lmao
Kinda annoying cuz im getting the whole 2 hr limit stuff but cant verify
Can someone tell me why it won’t let me remove the ‘Default for all chats’ in persona’s? It won’t let me get rid of it
unless they have deleted their accounts..
Because one of them has to be a default bro.
Your account must've been a minor one already then
dont jinx it vro
True but I want to deal with it, although after this they may start rolling out to UK users
Honestly might be for the best, just to have it temporarily unavailable.
In a few months it'll be global they already said that
No their accounts will be the same. They just can’t talk to bots.
Wait hold on is verification through the app not working?
I'm gonna chill on the server tomorrow until the Americans wake up, then I'll take cover 
Good, it gives me more time renew my government id😆
May not, it's been overworked and stuff
can someone tell me if there is any ways I can get c.ai+ for free for some time?
Mhm I seen, but it may be the case that it slowly rolls out
But who truly knows?
At least, I can chat with you if the server will be temporarly closed tomorrow 
or is it just not possible like any promotions or such?
Ershin said earlier it’s all hands on deck for the mod team lmao
They'll probably leave it a while as the verification is having a lot of issues right now, besides it's only California that has laws on AI chatbots
Wondering how many will be banned tomorrow...
Yeah, I saw that. I honestly want that to happen, I never saw that server getting 'closed' lol
I mean the UK has an online safety act rn
But fair verification has issues its fair that they would leave it
Can someone tell me why it won’t let me remove the ‘Default for all chats’ in persona’s? It won’t let me turn it off
Think that's the bug still going around
Our online safety act doesn't mention AI bots, California's law does
I'm not looking forward to the people rushing in here asking "Why's chat feed closed!?" TAKE A GUESS.
hi im new here does anyone know if charachter Ai is down as its down on my phone and it wont load anything however it will load on my pc i checked status says its up im really confused
Wait, I know I asked this earlier today, but if a user doesn’t get the pop up or gets flagged, will they be suspended from chatting too, if they were under 18? Or is it only the users who get flagged?
Just go to the persona and press the “default” box. Go do that.
If a user isn't flagged they can still chat, means they've been put into the adult section
It’s slow but not down
Ok
Tried it many times, never worked 🥲
🏳️
Oml u have the same name as my bf
ok as nothings loading for me downloaded the app 4 times just coming up with a blank screen any ideas on what to do?
-# Or at least for now you're safe..
Are you trying to use a lot of personas for different bots or something?
Mako? Or bob?
Mako
Nah. It randomly happened a few days ago and I can’t turn it off😭😭
Damn, that’s crazy, coincidences am I right? I’m assuming it’s his dc user not his real name tho 🥀
Although if I'm not wrong, they're still gonna monitor your account afterwards unless that's more stuff from Reddit again
He’s trans, so it’s his new name
It needs a default persona I believe. I have a lot of personas but the “default” persona is my main persona.
Hey guys, when you open the memory thing on c.ai, does it close the app for you? It still does for me
Wait, like real name?
Ah, I see. Alright, thanks
They released an update to fix that bug, check to see if you have it :D
Does it for me too
Uhhh, yeah. Boy name, y’know? And bc he loves sharks
Where do I see it??
Sharnk
Usually in your app store
I friended u we can talk there instead
Okay, thanks!! I'm gonna go see
Sigh I need to re-download my minecraft 😔
If it's not there send a ticket in
Yes, it does, THANK YOU!!
Yw :)
i got flagged and it was having trouble verify my age and it flagged me again i’m so done 
The verification system is probably overwhelmed and bugged rn
Do you have a chat timer?
idk how to check the chat timer but my edit button is gone and i got the popup
Do you still have soft launch?
Does that mean that people who already verified will have to do it again?
yeah actually yay
Then you should still have your edit button, send a new message and try to edit it
We don’t know ,but I can’t enter to the verify age either
It’s so damn buggy
I pressed many times and doesn’t let me in!
Please guys don’t ignored me
I struggle too
No, just those who are trying to. If you already verified you don't have to do it again
i’m just genuinely confused why i got the popup if i’m like.. fine? i guess? (also i have NO clue what could’ve gotten me flagged as a minor)
Dw, a ton of people are getting the popup but are still on adult accounts like you, think it's just a bug
Yeah sometimes the system gets bugged and will flag you on accident
Yall what happens if i update my app?
that’s a relief 😭😭
Nothing
Oh its because people are saying you get something bad
Just be prepared for the spam freaking out raid tmr
Other than fixing a previous bug, nothing else changes
Holy misinformation
Alright good because I don’t know I would have time to..I have work in the morning😭
Ahh kk thanks for telling me tho since i got a bit confused 💔
But my c.ai is slow, every minor is getting their last moments in with their bots before tomorrow
If your a minor I’m sorry for your loss
Same, my cAI is also slow but it's because it's the weekend obviously

Eh, I'm not the targeted audience so I'm fine, and I have to wait months before the verification system will be worldwide.
-# so happy I'm an adult, a good perk to have
Real
Are we still allowed to chat with are characters tomorrow until they put the ban thingy
Yes unless your asking if you can chat with them tomorrow then no
Sameeee
Your final moments are today
ao3 is about to get ALOT of new users tmrw
The servers are struggling to keep up with all the minors chatting, it takes my home screen a bit to load 
Ayy, nice. Glad to be European for a lot of reasons, honestly.
I’m just chatting with my bits because I’m bored but tomorrow this current chat will be crazy and c.ai loading time will be so good
Tbh…at least the servers will be freed up a bit.
off topic, your pfp is absolutely adorable
is that why it seemed like i got flagged because if so 😭😭
ME TOO!! I live in Denmark, what about you?
Aww thank you :D I can't forget Blue from my childhood
I mean, the servers are always laggy, aren't they? Tomorrow will be truly something.
My autocorrect sucks though…I typed bot and it said bits
maybe it’s because i talk to hazbin bots (as we all know adults only talk to Taxdoer J*b Bot)
blue was also my childhood 
Won’t the update happen if you live in Europe?
It’s because of all of the minors chatting right now
Will it happen like straight when it hits midnight?
so it will be fixed tommrow
No, it will be worldwide in some months. For now, only the USA (and UK?) have the age verification system.
-# If it hits midnight might as well find a bunker.
Yes because minors will be banned
Servers will be freed up, probably will make the bots reply faster as well.
If u live in US or UK, probably
Ohh, good day to live in Europe
ahhh ok thank youuu so much this help as i was stressing it wouldnt be working
I’m in the uk 💔
I KNOW RIGHT
ngl if i’m actually flagged as a minor and unable to chat tmrw i am going to die irl (not actually i’ll just fully migrate to ao3)
It's going to be midnight for me but I know that timezones exist and that the 'ban' will happens in some hours where I am
Good luck then, soldier
More good if u live in South East Asia
After it happens in America, it’ll go to Europe and eat all the European food.
How I feel being a Canadian. I don’t even use the app anymore tho
But I’m def not excited after months
Just hopefully it doesnt go for Singapore after Europe💔
Sadly I live in Sweden..
Not UK
I haven’t seen anything yet
It’s likely gonna go there too. Singapore is part of the globe too.
It's just the USA right now, let's not spread misinformation
I live in Denmark
It's not gonna hit everywhere that fast, it'll probably be a while.
They're going to the UK after the USA
Who said?
Hey neighbor 
I meaaan atleast buy me some time to renew my Gov ID💔
Right, the update is in the usa, it will take months to come to other countries ^^
Do you know how many months?
I mean unless this is gonna be sonic speed, I doubt it'll hit that fast 
NOO
For now, we don't know since there's not an official announcement about it. Maybe in some weeks, or not.
Also people might be getting a bug where when you refresh the messages to get a different message it might not change…
Midnight got hit
No, they have not stated.
i’m not really? sure? what’s going on with my edit button but i have soft launch on so i’m gonna be okay
It'll be a while me thinks, especially cause of how bugged it is...they'll probably get the whole verification stable in the states before going to other countries
But not for USA tho. It's not midnight yet for them.
Does anyone here talk to bots that is unrelated to the character/persona you’re using
oh 100%
Forgot about time zones lmao
Oh crap I’m 22 now
wait how dio
Wait, do u18 chatbot will be gone after this?
This is fine, I also forgot that timezones exist sometimes 
does it even detect if your under 18?
yeah but you can still look at old chats and stuff
Haha u old /j I'm near 20 🥀
Didn’t it say they get a 2 hour time limit?
Nope
No i mean, the u18 created bots.
LMAO
Those stay
probably not?? idk
Ahhh alright
The bots won't be affected
Plus what you should do I create a copy of the bot and make it your own if something does happen
👀🍿
Trust me, if they made it so the bots were affected...pretty sure everyone would be upset.
Replacing popcorn with salad bcs non left TvT
i hope people realize that even if you don’t put your id anywhere in the world, it’s still there whether you know it or not 
🥬🥬🥬
My meal rn 🎀🥗
probably
I dunno I'm not a dev
it’s still a work in progress so there’ll probably be bugs either way 
HAII
I added too much salt help 
If anything, the experience might get better with less of a server load.
-# Does that mean it'll stop crashing?
cai is so slow rn
Salad is delicious too !
is edit turned off because of the overload or something?? because edit is gone + i got a popup but nothing else is gone
Someone else who agree yay !!
thats why im hoping the quality will improve a little bit because the server wont be as strained
I think character AI will lose lots of players because of tomorrow
especially macaroni salad
Ooh yess
Alot better
Nahhh us adults that make up most of the app will be good
(by nothing else is gone i mean i have no time limit and i have soft launch)
The best
Prospective (i forgot if its candidates or not my english is bad) fathers and mothers is here in c.ai😆
let’s hope they don’t recognize me as a child 🙏🙏
this topic is worse than when people were freaking out over tos and ads combined
If you've survived so far I think you'll be good
I’ve been using it since it first came out
Theyr so dramatic tho
This app is cooked
Only for kids
I’m so tired lmao
When it wasn’t an app and when the picture was that blue guy with the cap
Yea
I'm a bit scared to see how the server will go-
Don't even imagine general 1
Hawkmonth?!
byee i remember every one playing it on their school computers before the county banned it
Nobody go into Gen1, that's like walking into a zombie hoard
im guessing thats why things have been slow this weekend because minors are probably using as much time as they can on there in their final days before the plug gets pulled on them
Like why do we need to show her pictures of IDs or face is just for a role-playing app
No cause I just got the update to verify my age. I have multiple accs for different bots
Bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny
I feel like it’s gonna think I’m a minor cause I talk to genshin bots
I’m just waiting for it to crash completely bc of it
Gen1 is full of trolls and brain rotted thirsty weird people. It's nuts
Genshin impact mentioned
Nahhh I think you'll be ok 
Fr! I hate this new update
Never put a foot here it's awful
its stupid like it CANNOT be that serious (i understand the LS and all but damn)
I’m waiting for it to be more dead after this, minors are just gonna go find other apps to talk to
I’m playing genshin rn—
let’s hope my millennial show interests will save me
I haven’t played since 2023
Fr fr
if you havent been flagged yet then i dont think you should worry
That’s so peak my partner has stolen my account tho
Not yet but then again I don’t know when my country eill get hit
I— okay then that sucks
it’s gonna be so easy to get around i already know
people outside of the united states have been flagged already from what i heard
"mommm can i use ur id pls !"
I honestly don’t play it anymore

Oh really?
So real for that
im sure the company has already thought of that and patched the workarounds
Well, you guys better talk to your chat box a final time because it’s turning night out(or daytime) to talk to your chat box
This made me snort and cackle
i will be asking my brother if i get flagged
I live in Europe and I didn't get flagged but someone from the UK did. Maybe it's because this country has kind of the same laws in terms of AI as the USA or something.
DONT SAY THAT OUTLOUD
You have to do a live selfie and then if that doesn’t work then the ID has to match the selfie. If someone makes a new account, it’s still subject to being flagged….
i’m on a diff ip i’ll be fine🙏
Okay criminal.
way to rat yourself out
f it we ball
Imagine committing a felony to talk to a robot.
i support ur enthusiasm/ambition ig
a robot who has no emotions
I’m just annoyed that it’s a ai rp app and we have to verify our age yeah like I’ll be talking to a weirdo in multiplayer sure sure ig
Bro is cooked💀
"But officer, I just wanted to talk to my Mafia husband!"
no cop is gonna gaf
It's the law, they have to follow said law.
Other than my photo and my birthday that proves I’m 18+, do you think I can use something to cover all my other personal details?
emphasis on enthusiasm/ambition DONT do this stuff yall
IM PUTTING THIS IM MY STATUS CACKLING BC THATS REAL
LMAO
I mean, there’s nothing else to do besides hope for the best
i did the selfie and it couldn’t verify me 😭😭 chronic babyface
It's just an app, are some people that desperate to chat with something that has no emotions? 
prolly not bc then it could be anyones id and not urs, but ur idea makes sense for privacy
guys trust i won’t actually get banned from the app ergo no need for id🙏
I don't think anyone outside the US has been flagged, I think they were already on minor accounts and just didn't know
You'd be surprised
I’m kinda sad bc I built so much good rp over almost 3 years I’m hoping I don’t get flagged??😭❤️🩹
hi chatt
if i get a face scan thing i may be cooked because i did my face scan for roblox and it claims im 13+ even though i should be 17+
Don’t commit felony for c.ai tho it’s not worth it even if u gotten permission off of an adult to use their id it can still get you in trouble so keep your parents information safe and keep yourself away from the police guys 💕 stay whimsical
I could try make an account with a birthday set to under 18 and have a look? Since I’m not us
STOP YOU ACTUALLY DID 
I look younger than I am so ong I might get flagged..
Yeah, maybe that's the case. I live in Europe and I have an age verified mail that I use for cAI so I'm fine lol.
go interact with middle schoolers they’re horrible💔💔
I mean granted it could be anyone’s anyway😭 like if you need to send in a selfie along with your id that proves your b day then surely that should be allowed
i just dont wanna lose my data 
I LOVE THE QUOTE OLEASE ITS SENDING ME
oh roblox thought i was like 12 it’s crazy
ahhhh it's almost the 24th!
roblox thinks I'm 18 when I'm not, so their verification is so cooked..
Then it would give you restrictions because you're setting up a minor account
Our death is in a couple of hours
true, but what if the bday in ur account doesnt match the id thats what i was thinkin
yall is there an option to change your password from your acc on c.ai cause I messed around in the app and couldn't find anything to directly change it
Everything will stay in the app. Minors just can’t chat with bots.
😭😭
Ohhhh yeah that makes sense e
C.ai is using the same verification as Roblox so you’ll be good to use ur face for it then
im not too upset about it thankfully roblox doesnt think im that old lmao
Honestly, let's not spread misinformation about UK users it's just stressing people out it has nothing to do with our online safety act
oh no ik that now i was just saying, but ty

roblox never asked me to verify they let me on my merry way
OH! hey, I guess I'm safe 
jesus i’m so cooked
You'll see reddit trollers will step in
ive been trying to verify on cai but its not working- like what
Omg your so right ppl that look more mature and older aren’t cooked 🥹
Tbh I’m so done with verification of age on apps I love.. like what do you mean I have to verify I’m 18 or older to talk to Levi Ackerman???
it’s been messing up for a lot of people
anyone?😭
I wonder if the subreddit will go on lockdown too.
I got verified and it worked for me
I mean, all we’re doing is texting and talking to random AI functioning machines made by humans and for character AI to take all that away. It’s just kind of ridiculous.
for real 
I'm just seeing a ton of people bringing up the OSA on here, like that law has nothing to do with ai chatbots
i certainly hope it does because that place is hectic
Where do u even verify? It isn’t popping up anywhere for me
Unfortunately, because of the dangers with the lawsuits it has to happen
I thought about using older makeup too bc also I do look older then my angle
So if I verify my age nothing will change?
Fr thank you
Right right, I did it for my alt and my main and it thinks that it's 18 or so for both, tho I haven't done the id thing for my alt 
Y'all I'm verified now
Like I have way too many accounts because I’m ocd n I like all my fandoms to be separate so I have diff accounts..
from what i understand if you don’t have the pop up you weren’t flagged
YAYY
, wait there's a popup?
Imagine if it'll actually happen to the cAI subreddit
I'm a part of that subreddit, so I don't know how it'll be if it's going to be closed.
wait so us UK people are safe?
I’m gonna try that tbh so I don’t have to use an ID
For a few months yes
AYYEEEE but like im in the uk so it might come to us in a few months probably next year
Cool
So like now I gotta decide which account I wanna verify..
It still hasn’t popped up for me
I'm not even checking the Reddit page, I can't imagine the horrors.
oh gl, i’m in the states🤑
No UK users have the verification option
then you should be good for now
oh also does anyone know how to check if you have a time limit
Me too. I haven't gotten the pop-up for a while
it's fine I have the ID ready just in case
I'll sacrifice myself and go see reddit
The verification when showing your face kinda pops up randomly I think (I don't remember) 
I don’t know why some on the subreddit will think C.ai will automatically become 18+ once the minors are unable to chat with the bots. Like, bro, not everything needs to be 18+ to be enjoyable.
omg did u have to put ur id in
PREACH
Ohhh i didn’t know that
It's quite calm over there rn
Uhm I did the face
I sometimes use c.ai for my fanfic idea soo xdd
what the HELL.
i’m 18 and i still to put an id
but that's for Roblox 
that’s so real icl
Don’t go
It’s terrible community
it probably caught something on your end that made it suspect that you are underage
Eh I've been on there longer than here, honestly the discord is worse right now
the gen chats are pretty calm rn
💔
I feel bad for the minors who are addicted and then the app shuts down for them. It’s a good thing for the, tough
...REDDIT IS A NIGHTMARE
For me I got to choose whether I do the face or ID
when is it not
Oh it's that bad?
I really hope putting on extra makeup and lashes etc don’t thinks I’m older I low key want someone’s option if I look 18+
Thats why I dont go on Reddit much.
True
But Reddit way terrible
esp the middle/elemebtary schoolers, they need social interaction baddd
It's not that bad, it just has the odd few misinformation posts
Does the age verification just pop up when you open the app or?
I get one death threat in there unfortunately:/ by some weird user
Y’all.. I got timed out for saying we should b0yc0t the app to get the verification feature removed
People crying about dev deleting their post about them whining for the new update 💔
i hate reddit tbh
