deepsqueak is not going DEEP in rps anymore..

[sharp dawn]

This is the realest thing I’ve ever read HAHAHAHA

[frozen wraith]

Can't relate. I don't pay for Character.AI+, and neither am I willing to.

[desert urchin]

Pipsqueak is broken as well. Has been for a few days for myself and apparently weeks for others.

[sharp dawn]

For me it’s days

[crude obsidian]

yeah the squeak twins are all broken

[rustic pecan]

DS is working on and off for me RIP

[muted marten]

Are the sqeuak models still behind a paywall?

[crude obsidian]

i'm expecting consistent fixes after this esp when this whole age estimation system goes global

[desert urchin]

#1410529739415883817 message

This is like the best you can do to fix this yourself, I'm trying to use it and it's not perfect or even close but at least the messages can be longer again

[sharp dawn]

But it won’t even help using other chat styles, they’re broken and bad as well

[rustic pecan]

DS not PS

[sharp dawn]

Facts

[rustic pecan]

I think the system will improve since a lot of people will be off of it and it’s less strain.

[crude obsidian]

the model is being held by a duck tape 💔

[sharp dawn]

I just hope it will get better after they are done with the age verification stuff

[jovial rose]

I already said something about this

The problem is the community.

The information being fed by the Community

[frozen wraith]

I fail to see how this justifies the developer's refusal to try and doing something about it.

[jovial rose]

As I already repeated: LLMs are stateless mindless bots whom chew on information from your chats which they store on a data bank...

IE: TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE BLAND

[jovial rose]

The fix would require writing many LMMs that take different parts of the information pie, which would mean classifying chats based on their structure, rp scenario, message length, etc... which would take a lot of time probably and eat more resources

[jovial glade]

On #📣︱announcements they said that they will turn off chat for -18 users. They will only do that if the users set their date of birth and the app knows that they are minors? And for the ones c.ai only suspect that are minors, we will need to prove our age?

Sorry, english isn’t my first language 😭

[frozen wraith]

Way better of a solution than making stickers and merch out of their LLM's issues, isn't it?

This is a billion dollar company we're talking about. They've got the resources to do that just fine. I thought our new CEO promised to make models better?

[jovial rose]

They dont care about the date you've set in the app, they will focus on some token of your email afaik which likely tell its creation date and build from there

[rustic pecan]

It’s more than that but you only need to prove your age if they ask you to do it. If they don’t ask you, you’re fine.

[glad crag]

Manually setting the date of birth doesn't really mean much nowadays

[rustic pecan]

It’s a lot of things not just that. But that’s something they use combined with other factors.

[sharp dawn]

This is what I’ve been thinking too

[jovial glade]

Oh, got it. But in which ocasions they will turn off the chat for minors? If they confirmed that they are indeed minors?

*confirme

[jovial rose]

The problem is that 'billion dollar company' doesn't have real value... it's not shown in the assetts

[frozen wraith]

???

I fail to see the point you're trying to make.

[rich quail]

In my opinion, the bots got even worse.

[rustic pecan]

Correct. If someone doesn’t pass their age verification, they will turn off chatting with bots for them.

[jovial rose]

More info from bland people makes even blander rps

[rich quail]

they messed up the memories and quality of every styles.

[jovial rose]

.

[frozen wraith]

ESPECIALLY after the Cloudflare incident. The bots won't stop assuming I said something universally aggressive whenever I let the bot do double messages.

[brazen prairie]

Will your account just be immediately taken down if it won’t allow you to verify your age? Because it keeps sending me to an blank white page 😭

[desert urchin]

What's the cloudflare incident?

[brazen prairie]

Like I’m 18+ but it won’t let me verify it’s just an blank page

[frozen wraith]

#📈︱status

[sharp dawn]

Everything got a mess since the age verification came, why has the app to be broken while they’re on it?

[rustic pecan]

No accounts are being taken down at all. Just limited. You can verify at any point.

[jovial rose]

Cloudflare had an outage but that doesnt do anything with CAI...

[strange inlet]

cloudflare went down and a bunch of website using its servers did too because of it

[jovial glade]

Ooh, that's good then. Gladly my birthday is on january 12, so i really hope i dont get flagged till then 💔 i dont want to have my account banned cause i have some bots and liked chats

[desert urchin]

I see

[lyric tapir]

were you flagged as U18 and prompted to do Age Assurance..?

[brazen prairie]

How do I know if I was flagged u18?

[jovial rose]

You likely dont see worse bot quality you just have confirmation bias...

[frozen wraith]

Except it does. Cloudflare crashing made Character.AI temporarily unavailable for quite some time. After the incident was resolved, the bots were worse than ever.

Please stop trying so hard to justify the actions of a greedy company who have been ruining their own project ever since June 2024.

[rustic pecan]

They’re not banning accounts so don’t worry! You just can’t talk to the bots if they ask you to verify and you don’t. But your account stays the same.

[brazen prairie]

OHH okay yeah it hasn’t told me to do that yet

[lyric tapir]

you get a prompt like this..

[scenic ore]

You guys can state it in chat memory or add exception tags on the greeting message and pin so it wont dive into dark romance themes

[brazen prairie]

Okay yeah I haven’t gotten that, I just have the one in advanced settings to verify my age

[jovial glade]

Ooh, so if someone prove that they are a minor, they just wont be able to chat?

[frozen wraith]

When's the last time pinned messages actually worked?

[median token]

idk bout yall but my bots have been great? theyve been sending long responses and pushing the plot forward without me forcing it

[desert urchin]

Feel yourself as lucky

[hexed falcon]

Me too

[scenic ore]

Hmmm i personally have 80 percent success rate lol

[hexed falcon]

I never really except once or twice had issues with chat quality.

[median token]

i do send detailed responses though and make my own bots so their descriptions are very long

[knotty jay]

Has the purge started yet? It’s the 25th

[sharp dawn]

I don’t get it, for some other people the chat style and the app are working fine for them 😭

[rustic pecan]

Correct. Underage people can’t talk to bots, but everything else stays the same on the account. The chats will be there and can be read, but no actual talking to the bots.

[rich quail]

then you're a lucky one. most of us users here are suffering from the bad quality after they drop the verifying age.

[hexed falcon]

Sammmeee. I only use mine

[azure mortar]

Im still gonna miss roleplay for my boys

[jovial rose]

I dont justify them... Companies are greedy. They don't care about you.

The problem is you, not understanding how the Internet works. Cloudflare is nothing to Character AI. Brother. Cloudflare only provides safe internet connection services. The reason that EVERYTHING dies when Cloudflare dies because: Nowadays, you're not gonna believe this....

Everything is connected to the Internet...

They are just a safety provider.

[hexed falcon]

I don't like other people's bots. Honestly

[supple quest]

I didn’t get flagged

[lyric tapir]

as stated from the announcement Age Assurance: What you need to know

If our age assurance tech indicates you’re 18+, you won’t need to do any age verification at all. If it indicates you’re under 18, and that’s not right, then you would just go through the selfie age verification process, powered by Persona. 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.

[median token]

my only complaint is DS formatting sometimes lol, my ds bot loves dramatic one liners after some paragraphs

[brazen prairie]

Ohh okay thanks so much 🫶🏻

[hexed falcon]

I only use DS. can't say I got the issue

[tulip pollen]

Hi Ershin how are you today?

[rustic pecan]

Hey ershin yall should start to give out helper roles to us holding down the fort /j

[tulip pollen]

I agree on that xd

[hexed falcon]

In every joke there's a bit of truth

[desert urchin]

Pipsqueak loved to do the same. Mine always went to try to do a deep One liner. I miss that a bit because at least it was Creative unlike how my Pipsqueak is currently

[median token]

spared 🤣 ive allowed a few through since they fit with the story so its my fault it keeps happening. im editing it out now and it getting better

[jovial rose]

The "ClOuDfLaRe InCiDeNt" is not some big catasthrope that happened to CAI and CAI only. Literally a Service provider had an outage... You just noticed that bots are shit just like how they been before cuz they got fed the SAME INFORMATION. By the SAME PEOPLE. And the amount of bad quality information keeps piling... And the bots become worse.

[lyric tapir]

you can also help even without the role..

[hexed falcon]

League was down. Amazon was down. Spotify was down. Lol

[reef trail]

Ao3 was down 💔

[jovial rose]

Read the message I replied to like literally

[rustic pecan]

For the love of the game yo

[compact tartan]

Cloudfare crashed many websites. Look up news, it is good to be educated

[jovial rose]

"Holy moly you tell me a service provider had an outage? This ruined CAI beyond recognition!"

[heavy terrace]

What..

[lyric tapir]

yes'

[hexed falcon]

Idk about y'all. If you get bad replies always do thumbs up or down. That's what I do

[jovial rose]

That was bros mentality that the Cloudflare outage ruined the bots quality like: What...

[compact tartan]

guys if you want to answer people's questions here do so it's just a choice

[heavy terrace]

No, it was 'Yesn't', Ershin
-# Bad bot

[median token]

i just swipe or edit, never used the thumbs

[hexed falcon]

Which is an issue. People need to give feedback

[compact tartan]

Do you just chat with your own lol

[jovial rose]

The chart is simple:

Bland People->Bland chats->LLM eats Bland chats->LLM becomes Bland

[rustic pecan]

I was making a joke and Ershin was joking back 😭

[hexed falcon]

Yeppie. Most lack grammar, and long intros.

[crude obsidian]

it trains itself based on your preferences iirc right

[median token]

i just miss the star ratings 🙁

[heavy terrace]

Thats not how LLM works lelelel

[crude obsidian]

ok for a second i thought i was delulu cause i kept using it for that matter

[hexed falcon]

I don't mind

[lyric tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/jar-jar-binks-how-rude-rude-star-wars-pissed-gif-17565387

[heavy terrace]

I actually anticipated this specific gif from you haha

[jovial rose]

LLMs take output and give input. They don't actually remember your convo: Basically every time you say something you send bulk of that conversation to Pipsqueek or whatever with your reply attached. It then scrapes the large pile of information it has from chatting with others (again: Most of these people do uninspired one liners) and puzzles a reply based on that

[crude obsidian]

i think it made it a little hard for AI to comprehend whether if you liked the reply or not

[hexed falcon]

I dont think so, since you can specify the issue

[rustic pecan]

Yall I passed out and didn’t close my app last night and thank god I don’t have the time limit I’d have been heeeeateed

[crude obsidian]

oh yea that's true too

[hexed falcon]

I always chsoe too short, when i had the issue, and at some point it fixed itself

[crude obsidian]

though i don't know about just giving the star and swiping

[hexed falcon]

If it was just star, I disagree, since that doesnt tell the AI the issue

[limber coyote]

#📱︱chat-feed message

[crude obsidian]

i choose that and repetitive mostly

[lunar smelt]

anyone know what is the chamr feature for? payment for what?

[tulip pollen]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I will ever use that feature xd

[heavy terrace]

And thats okay. Others would

[hexed falcon]

Apparently its for image generating

[crude obsidian]

seems good for free users at the very least

[lunar smelt]

so basically since im cai+ it doesnt really effect then?

[hexed falcon]

yessir

[heavy terrace]

Or for people that unsub from cai

[lunar smelt]

alright thankyou so much!

[rustic pecan]

I knooow people are gonna disagree but I like a lot of what the new CEO has been doing. It hasn’t been a perfect rollout, but he seems to be trying to improve things.

[hexed falcon]

This is what ive been saying since the change, this guy is doing something.

[crude obsidian]

true

[hexed falcon]

I love pepe

[dim heath]

I hate bbnos

[hexed falcon]

whats bbnos

[dim heath]

Musical artist bbno$

[hexed falcon]

oh, i dont know who that is

[olive vector]

I'm blocked by him

[toxic pawn]

-# oh... I love bbn$ ... Bad moment to like his songs

[lyric tapir]

coughs

[tulip pollen]

Thank you Ershin

[hexed falcon]

The gen chats are cursed though

[toxic pawn]

Bad time to make a simple comment qwq

[hexed falcon]

and cringe

[zinc birch]

Maybe we need an extra channel to talk about bonobos? [Nobody got the joke. 🤷‍♂️]

[hexed falcon]

Though I do actually hope that peoples issues with c.ai get fixed

[lyric tapir]

#☑️︱verified-general

#🗨️︱general2

[zinc birch]

#bonobos

[rustic pecan]

I don’t run into the issues a lot of people do, but here’s hoping.

[hexed falcon]

Me neither, honestly

Oh i guess my issue is that lately my account gets unlinked

[split raft]

Y'all got any good bots to talk to?

[median token]

the app knocks me to sleep sometimes 💀 i wonder if that would reflect in my screen usage

[zinc birch]

Yes! Link in bio

[rustic pecan]

Oh it does. I’ve had crazy screen hours from leaving it open lmao

[split raft]

I turned my phone off and went to bed at like one

[nimble galleon]

Hi people

[median token]

ill have to check mine sometime. wake up half confused wondering why my battery is so low

[split raft]

It was lwk putting me to sleep

[pulsar cedar]

Good afternoon.

[tulip pollen]

I always triple check to make sure the app isn't open before I go to sleep

[nimble galleon]

I don’t tbh

[median token]

hii willow

[pulsar cedar]

Hii! How are you

[split raft]

I don't anymore

[zinc birch]

To make sure your characters don't watch you sleep?

[tulip pollen]

I already have a demon in my closet watching me and that's more then enough xd

[median token]

tired but well! how about you?

[nimble galleon]

I’ve fallen asleep with the app still open before. I’m just confused for five seconds and then I remember I was on c.ai.

[keen flare]

Says the one who leaves their pc open and going to school

[split raft]

Well damn

[tulip pollen]

That was one time or more!

[pulsar cedar]

I'm alright. Extra caffinated today!

[keen flare]

How much was it? 8 hours on genshin?!

[median token]

ooo nice!! running on empty for now.. might brew a tea soon. how do you like your coffee?

[tulip pollen]

You haven't seen the worst, it was 15 hours once and that wasn't any afk at all

[nimble galleon]

Real

[split raft]

I have demons of death and destruction in my pillow

[keen flare]

:3dcrying:

[pulsar cedar]

It depends really. I prefer black, no sugar. But there's always an odd time where I'll have two sugars if I'm exhausted. What about you?

[tulip pollen]

Or yet worse, 24 hours one time on vrchat I was watching a bunch of movies xd

[keen flare]

Wow... :stare:

[median token]

love mine black too! but im more of a tea person

a dash of milk in some orange pekoe and you're set

[pulsar cedar]

I'm not much of a tea drinker. Is it any good?

[tulip pollen]

And that's not a joke, it's real

[shell hemlock]

Man I miss my avatar way of the water bots 😔

[keen flare]

Crazy work

[median token]

veryyy! im more of a tea drinker than a coffee person 😅😅

[frozen wraith]

Is this Character.AI's equivalent of "Discord Orbs"? I fail to see how this is beneficial.

[pulsar cedar]

I might give it a go. I much prefer making hot chocolates around Christmas time. Especially with a side of those little ginger bread men biscuits. My niece always steals them.

[harsh shoal]

We'll have more news about that soon

[timber brook]

Is it normal that the app just never starts

[median token]

i love hot chocolate too but i only got the powdered stuff. gotta head off to a meeting, see you later!

[tulip pollen]

You can't see how many hours you have in genshin but I know for a fact that it's over 1000 hours in total

[pulsar cedar]

Bye! Speak with you soon, good luck

[hazy igloo]

I can’t wait for avatar 3 to be out

[frozen wraith]

... If you say so?

[shell hemlock]

Brooo same I already bought tickets for 4dx

[rustic pecan]

I can see how it’s beneficial to free users… lmao

[hazy igloo]

ALREADY dangg I was gonna wait till It was out on Disney

[frozen wraith]

If I can use those "Charms" to increase my persona description limit, then I'll forever cherish the update. I'm remaining passive until then.

[static nest]

bro… my app force me to have a persona as default

[shell hemlock]

Yahhh I’m gonna be going to see it in 4dx hopefully twice and then my local theater like everyday lmao

I’m a giant avatar fan

[static nest]

is there anyway to fix?

[timber brook]

Blue people or Bald kid

[hazy igloo]

I love avatar so much hopefully no one else in the sully family dies 🫩

[shell hemlock]

Blue people I do not like bald kid

[static nest]

bruh guys help me

[timber brook]

What did Aang do 💔

[shell hemlock]

If they do, I will throw hands with James Cameron

[static nest]

BRO I NEED HELP

[rustic pecan]

Okay? And some people would love to bypass ads. So it’s beneficial.

[dire berry]

This is all we know #📈︱status message

[hazy igloo]

I think his wife was the first one to watch it and she cried the whole movie or something

[shell hemlock]

I already cry watching the trailer bc neyteyam isn’t there 😔

[hazy igloo]

HE SHOULD’VE BEEN THERE

[frozen wraith]

I personally don't see the problem with ads? But then again, I use a certain bot for an extended period of time before I finally move on.

[dusky crescent]

Hi, just by curiosity, does anyone tried the Pawly chat style? It said its better in language, but concretly, is it very usefull? What is the purpose of such a style?

[shell hemlock]

JAMES CAMERON HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT 😭 like bro was introduced and dead in the same movie god I hate when they do that

[shell hemlock]

Have you seen like the trailer for spider? 👀 like omgggg

[hazy igloo]

I have so many edits of it on TikTok

[rustic pecan]

I’m obviously plus, but I switch bots often. Ads would drive me mad.

[hollow lintel]

[shell hemlock]

IM SO EXCITEDDDDD

Personally I like it way better than him getting his own avatar

[hazy igloo]

He’s the first human to become some sort of Navi right or am i missing something

[ashen sand]

the fuck are the charms beta thing

[haughty stream]

is cai down? the app hasn’t been working for me in 2 days

[lyric tapir]

coughs

heh

[haughty stream]

the replies just won’t load

[lyric tapir]

works fine on Ershin's end though..

[ashen sand]

its bcs the upcoming upd

[shell hemlock]

Well I mean Jake sully was a human who became na’vi technically but he’s the first human ever to have the braid thing to bond without having an avatar

[surreal herald]

is anybody else completely unable to edit bots?

[haughty stream]

the website seems to work but not the app

[hazy igloo]

Maybe restart 🧐 or close and reopen

[haughty stream]

i did. i reinstalled too

[nimble galleon]

My app is fine

[nimble galleon]

Did you update the app? Cause it had an update a couple days ago

[hazy igloo]

Then I don’t know sorry chat mine is working fine 🫩

[shell hemlock]

Have you seen the buckets and cups for the movie? My gosh there so cool, I rlly rlly want them to I hope I can get my hands on them before they sell out

[haughty stream]

yess

[nimble galleon]

Same

[haughty stream]

i get the chat bubble but no messages

[hazy igloo]

Same hopefully they have them in my location

[hazy igloo]

Maybe try to submit a ticket^^ or wait it out

[dim flume]

You guys, I thought my ability to chat was gonna be took away? I still have it

[nimble galleon]

Write a ticket

[hazy igloo]

Did you get a pop up?

[nimble galleon]

If you’re 18 or over the age of 18 it won’t be taken away

[dim flume]

Yes

[nimble galleon]

Huh

[dim flume]

I still have soft launch for some reason as well

[hazy igloo]

Maybe it was a glitch or something

[dim flume]

I think I'm an anomaly 😭

[grim hatch]

it is a glitch, happened to me as well. I can edit messages and have soft launch but I got the pop up lol

[hexed falcon]

Lmao if i was a minor and didnt have a time limit, i wouldnt talk about it

[rustic pecan]

I would mind my business and stfu if I slipped through the cracks somehow

[hazy igloo]

I think they were just confused for a minute🤷🏽‍♀️

[hexed falcon]

nah im talking in general

[rustic pecan]

There have been minors admitting they got through 😭

[hazy igloo]

Im not talking about that tho 🫩

[rustic pecan]

… I was just following up the convo 😭

[hazy igloo]

My bad chat

[dim flume]

This is kinda awkward 😓

[timber canopy]

Good afternoon everyone, hope you all are having such a wonderful day/night

[dim flume]

Thank you, I hope the same for you too!

[rustic pecan]

[spark forge]

Hiii, i have another question about Id (sorry, probably the last one). During id verification do we have to put photos of both sides? Just front? Or it might depend on the country and how id look?

[harsh shoal]

It depends on what it needs

Different IDs might need one side, or both

[split cairn]

I still haven’t gotten the verification. Probably because I’m in Canada

[torpid wren]

Does anyone know how to get rid of reading mode if I'm
17?

[harsh shoal]

Yep, only US rn

[split cairn]

You can’t, people under 18 can’t chat

[harsh shoal]

Hi there, we have disabled 1:1 chats for users under 18. Please read the announcements in #📣︱announcements

[torpid wren]

Awww, oki 🥲😭

[rustic pecan]

Ooooh is it starting?

[split cairn]

It’s starting yes

Only for US rn tho

[harsh shoal]

Don't worry, your chats are safe and will still be there. And once you're 18, you can verify so you can talk to your favorite Characters again

[torpid wren]

That'll be next year for me 🥲

[sharp dawn]

Alr curious when it’s getting in the EU

[timber canopy]

In a few months

[spark forge]

Well, do you know (and can share) what Persona agreed on regarding what should be verified? What specific data besides name, surname, photo, and date of birth?

Sorry, I just saw information (possibly false) that everything doesn't need to be shown.

[still jetty]

Hey kappa good morning
Sorry for bothering you
But I already verified my account from my tablet and not phone
Because my phone didn’t let me but share the same account
Am I safe?
I don’t need to verify anymore

[azure mortar]

Im starting to feel a bit better about this

[azure mortar]

I don’t wanna wait 2 years:((( but I understand it’s for the best

And the 2 years will pass before I know it

[lyric tapir]

you just need to make sure that you are logged in CAI and use the QR code shown during the age verification process..

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/43665577363739-How-do-I-verify-my-age-Best-Practices-and-FAQ

[azure mortar]

I hope I’ll get to talk to my characters some way some how

[uncut prism]

Does c.ai not work because of this age thing? Because i can’t even log in 😓

[azure mortar]

Probably not

I miss my Roleplay daughter

[rustic pecan]

You just get put into reading mode for bots. The app itself should work.

[azure mortar]

I wish I could talk to my bots

[uncut prism]

Works fine on iPad though, it’s just mobile app that doesn’t

[azure mortar]

Im in the uk but I haven’t gotten any pop ups

[agile egret]

by 3rd party usage to identify age, do they read your Grok AI, CHATGPT, and Gemini chats connected to the same Google account to also determine age? I'm lowkey just confused what they mean by 3rd party signal reading

[azure mortar]

How do you tell if your fine

[sharp dawn]

A few say now that DS is back to normal now, is that true?

[agile egret]

if you got no popup and you still have Soft Launch, can edit, can still chat, have the squeaks

[azure mortar]

Even if you aren’t in the USA

[agile egret]

theyre starting to roll out age assurance sometime today or later for global, so yeah, but its mainly for the USA as of today

[azure mortar]

When will it come to the uk

[prime cosmos]

Am I the only one that thinks its stupid?

[agile egret]

it mightve already since it started mainly in the USA and UK because of UK’s “online safety act”

[opaque sluice]

I kinda agree

But the California government wanted it

[brave lily]

Not the first and definitely not the last.

[agile egret]

its not necessarily stupid, but they could execute this plan better I feel like, and fix the age verification and assurance since alot of 18+ are getting falsely flagged

[rustic pecan]

It’s more like “hey Google/apple how old is this account?”

[agile egret]

the selfie thing is kinda broken since many are baby faced

[agile egret]

Oh alrighty

[brave lily]

Do I like the update? Not necessarily, but it’s bound to happen tbh, especially knowing how some can easily become bonded with AI.

[regal ruin]

my Google account is screwed. My parents put my year as 2009 even though I was born in 2007.

[agile egret]

So, yeah, I just thinj they could have executed it better

[regal ruin]

and I have a baby face so I'm done

[rustic pecan]

They use other factors so this ain’t the only thing!

[prime cosmos]

Yes, and plus I don’t wanna show like an id, I don’t even care if it’s trusted I’m not using an id or anything to verify bc if there is something that happens and information gets leaked that ain’t cool fr, I’m not even 18+ verified on Roblox either LMAO

[regal ruin]

I'll let them look through my YouTube history since it's 18+ stuff like Saw etc

[knotty fjord]

For real...I swear I'm 18, I'm an adult, yet I have a baby face, so a lot of people think I look younger than I actually am. I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or if I should be insecure about it.

[vestal forge]

its okay you aren’t alone, i too struggle with baby face and got mistaken for being a twin which im not

[brave lily]

Makes me glad that I look older now. Though I’m 26, I could pass as a 23 year old.

[pulsar cedar]

ID is the last and very last step. They look for a number of signals with age reassurance. If that fails - which, as stated, a combination of things - then a selfie is asked. If that fails. Then it is ID.

[regal ruin]

I'll give them my ID it's my only way

[prime cosmos]

Sweaty ahh system

[regal ruin]

I've been called 13+ on roblox 💔

[knotty fjord]

You made me remember the fact that everyone also thinks my sister and I are twins. And when we say we aren't, they automatically assume that she's older than me just because she's taller than me. But no. I'm the older sibling.

[pulsar cedar]

It's to protect minors.

[azure mortar]

They probably will fix it

[prime cosmos]

I know, I was just saying they digging hella deep; but it makes sense

[rustic pecan]

It’s actually a really good system. They have multiple steps to avoid asking for your ID. Like it’s literally a last resort. They could skip that and ask for ID right away.

[azure mortar]

And I’ll find a way to chat with my characters some way some how right?

[brave lily]

I feel like the idea is right, it’s just the execution.

[pulsar cedar]

They could also have just immediately came out with all of this, yet they didn't. They gave time limits. And yet minors still find issues.

[rustic pecan]

They have to. The law requires age verification method. They’re giving options to do that (and then taking it a step further by restricting chatting but that’s another story).

[regal ruin]

could I use my passport as ID?

[prime cosmos]

I know I just said it makes sense

[regal ruin]

I don't have a id card so I use my passport

[azure mortar]

Plus

They’ll get over it in a few days I’m already making edits of my character to show love for her

Ive left the app because ill find other ways

[brave lily]

I just hope other ai chat services don’t get overwhelmed with the influx of new users.

[regal ruin]

I have polybuzz as an alternative just in case yk lol

[azure mortar]

What other apps would work well

[pulsar cedar]

It has taken me this long to realise what your profile picture is. I honestly thought it was a building with an ice cream scoop.

[regal ruin]

any not based in California

[brave lily]

Ngl, mine is Custodian Ai. (I’ll get timed out if I use the regular name.)

[rustic pecan]

We can’t m talk about other apps here fyi

[split cairn]

I found an alternative already

[regal ruin]

they're trying to silence us 😔

[brave lily]

Still, I will admit, C.ai is among my favorite services though.

[rustic pecan]

CAI is still one of the best services with all of its flaws 🤷🏽‍♀️

[brave lily]

Honestly though. May not be a perfect service but it’s a lot better than the others imo.

[split cairn]

Cai just has better characters from many fandoms imo

[azure mortar]

The read only mode is kinda sucky tbf

[split cairn]

I can still chat and I’m a minor but I’m in Canada so I haven’t gotten the age verification yet

[azure mortar]

Same

[vestal forge]

me and you the same

[restive fulcrum]

Guys I don’t have the read chat and I’m a minor..and I’m in the us but my google account is 18+…but I rarely use c.ai I usually use it for like 10 mins and then go back to TikTok

[azure mortar]

Im 16 so I can wait the 2 years

[split cairn]

I know. It just hasn’t spread to where I’m at

I’m also 16. I turn 17 next year so… I can wait. I kind of just got off Cai after I found out about the update, now I’m interacting with real people and stuff. I’ll still probably use it when I turn 18 tho

[restive fulcrum]

Yeah it’s goes by your google account to see if it’s a minor or a adult so yeah

[azure mortar]

Luckily I turn 18 in early 2027

[split cairn]

I turn 18 in late 2027 😭

[azure mortar]

Im also sure the devs will give us under 18s something awesome to do with our characters instead despite not being able to speak with them

[rustic pecan]

That’s just one thing they look at and consider.

[split cairn]

I started using it in 2024

[azure mortar]

I didn’t use it until late 23

[restive fulcrum]

So I’m able to still chat with my bots does thst mean I passed the verification

[split cairn]

My google acc is 18+ too.

[desert urchin]

A main thing to see if you're having the 18+ experience is the ability to Edit messages and To have Soft Launch

[lyric tapir]

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

[azure mortar]

So I can’t use my characters anymore

[restive fulcrum]

Nope

[split cairn]

No if your under 18

[timber canopy]

You mean as the birthdate? I am quiet confused on that part, sorry Rise

[knotty fjord]

Did the update already roll out for people -18, Ershin? An announcement wasn't made about it being rolled out yet.

[azure mortar]

My Google account was set to 2008 because it’s mine and my friends joint account so with that email would I be able to use it next year

[timber canopy]

Oh I see, thank you!

[lyric tapir]

#📣︱announcements message

[knotty fjord]

Tyy!

[azure mortar]

Im gonna miss my characters:/

[restive fulcrum]

My shi was created when I was like 6 cause of my older siblings..but to be fair they always planned ahead for me

[still jetty]

I did verify three times just in case and I passed good those three with face scan ,
How many times I have to verify?

[split cairn]

Idk how long ago I made my google ACC

[lyric tapir]

If our age assurance tech indicates you’re 18+, you won’t need to do any age verification at all. If it indicates you’re under 18, and that’s not right, then you would just go through the selfie age verification process, powered by Persona. 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.

[restive fulcrum]

Oh yeah I do have a Apple Pay so that’s also might be a factor aswell

[still jetty]

They didn’t ask for my id ..
Those three times
And I did passed correct with the face scan works

[restive fulcrum]

Are you able to chat or your not able to do anything at all still despite doing everything
cause if so I’m sure it’s a glitch or a problem in their system

[still jetty]

I can still chats with my bots yet
I’m just a little bit nervous that all
Because I could manage to finally verify without them ask me for my id

[restive fulcrum]

Oh alright if ur able to chat with ur bots still that’s meant you were good to go since minors aren’t able to chat anymore

[prime cosmos]

Wait so it already hit ??😭😭

[hardy breach]

yea

[honest pilot]

I’ve left the app until further notice lmao

[hardy breach]

for some people at least, i think

[azure mortar]

Same I’ve left the app

[prime cosmos]

I thought it hit today, idk when it’s gonna hit Texas unless it alr did

[honest pilot]

Im js gonna watch it go downhill cause the way they’re going abt this update is all wrong imo

[restive fulcrum]

And i redownloaded discord for this reason to see how they were gonna react😭

[cobalt walrus]

I mean, it's the law and they have to follow it. If they don't, then they'll probably have to shut down cAI's servers forever or something like that.

[hardy breach]

I really is-

the update itself is fine - alright, I can understand they have to follow their state's law, it'd make no sense for them to relocate

the way they're going about it though is, a lil screwy/weird-

[restive fulcrum]

The ID part is kinda weird to me

[lyric tapir]

you'll be informed if you were flagged U18 anyway..

[prime cosmos]

Oh, makes sense

[hardy breach]

ye it is

it could at least be like the Google verification, were the ID option can be replaced with, some other proof of age to submit

[prime cosmos]

Yeah If I get age restricted I’m probably not gonna verify with my ID only because I hate verifying with id to use apps and if my face dont work oh well bc I got a baby face💔💔

[hardy breach]

Honestly though, I feel like the age limit should at least be 15/16, if there has to be one

I feel like if we can trust 16 year olds to be mature enough to legally work and drive (in the US at least), we could trust them enough to be on AI sites and be responsible with it

[rustic pecan]

the ID is an optional last step, and they already consider Google in age assurance. They just don’t say it upfront.

[rustic pecan]

18 is a legal adult in the US so there’s the line. Adult vs minor

[hardy breach]

oh neat, that makes sense why I'm not flagged them, I'm already google verified-

[restive fulcrum]

Well to be fair if 16 years olds are able to get a work permit or a driver permit then they should be able to use a AI app

[timber merlin]

Hello, does anyone know how I can tell if my account is verified?

[hardy breach]

ye

[rustic pecan]

Yes, they look at Google/Apple accounts as one of their “signals”! They considered all of that.

They put a lot into not having to show an ID tbh

[restive fulcrum]

Exactly since they already proven themselves as mature enough and capable

[rustic pecan]

they don’t want minors on the app because of lawsuits that’s why it’s 18. They don’t want legal responsibility for things that happen

[restive fulcrum]

It’s obvious too since they usually out the birth date to 1930.. or something like thst it’s too obvious

[hardy breach]

in terms of it being 16 year olds, I feel like driving could be considered something far more dangerous than using an app, so why wouldn't that be the age limit they send

Mostly i'm just confused why the law would be set at 18, like - what's the qualifications I guess, for what age range a law is made for? (16 vs 18 vs 21)

[covert olive]

Did anyone actually got restricted and can't chat anymore? Just wondering

[rustic pecan]

Someone said earlier that they did

[hardy breach]

yea that would be...odd, if they're still online, lmao

[prime cosmos]

I’m pretty sure most of them left

[rustic pecan]

A minor in here said they put their birthday in like the 30s or 40s lmao

[prime cosmos]

wtf

[hardy breach]

that's

a little funny

[prime cosmos]

And a lot are just moving to Chai or other apps… or just going back to fanfic

[sharp gorge]

Mods watching the chat: 👁️👁️

[rustic pecan]

It’s not the law. It’s that 18 is legally an adult in the US. That’s it. It’s just adult vs minor.

[sharp gorge]

[pulsar cedar]

I can't decide if it's more humouros they did that, or the fact they openly admitted to doing so.

[restive fulcrum]

No cuase why did they snitch on themselves

[rustic pecan]

Right???

[prime cosmos]

Oms

[unreal surge]

Can I link a thread here

[restive fulcrum]

Especially if they used google for c.ai and discord then it’s gonna be more easy to flag them off the platform since they basically said they lied

[hardy breach]

-# I, wasn't arguing that 18 isn't adult? - I was wondering what makes them consider putting laws on which age groups (not even the ai law, just in general), cause it's certainly not the danger level of it

[pulsar cedar]

Following the fact, they act as if they're proud of themselves. Sorry but none of us here are going to applaud you for lying about your age to get on an app that restricts minors for clear reason.

[hardy breach]

....ooh, they're a bit screwed then-

[restive fulcrum]

This my generation btw why can’t they just read books like I do or annoy older siblings

[rustic pecan]

They legit come in here asking for ways to bypass the update or cheat to be seen as an adult and think they’ll get help.

[prime cosmos]

Fanfics guys, fanfics.

[restive fulcrum]

I know bro sometimes I’m embarrassed to be the same age as them but then again not everyone grew up with the same parents

[nimble galleon]

Hi people

[hardy breach]

yea real

the sad thing though with fanfic, as much as I still love a lot of them even with c.ai - is that if you read a really good fanfic, and then want to change the story a bit to something else/a different ending

but then get slapped with writers block, and left just thinking about it for like a month-

[rustic pecan]

They need to learn the art of reading fics with character x y/n.

[hardy breach]

eyo

[unique parrot]

Sooo how's it going so far?

[nimble galleon]

Who does

Same same

[worn lance]

does the thumbs up and thumbs down thing really work

[hardy breach]

I still do, sometimes it's better to have a story that's fully a surprise really

[rustic pecan]

Kids reliant on AI and think they NEED it vs it being a luxury

[nimble galleon]

Bruh

I use c.ai for the sillies.

[hardy breach]

real

[rustic pecan]

There have absolutely been kids in here throwing fits and acting like nothing can replace CAI. That’s what I mean.

[restive fulcrum]

For anyone my age that’s too desperate for c.ai please pick up a book….i mean I do got a good book trilogy for you guys

[hardy breach]

I don't understand when I hear people talking about like, venting to/using ai as a therapist

because all I use it for is literal, storytelling/roleplay, so I forget it can be used for other reasons theoretically-

[fluid isle]

they can be tortured for free™

[hardy breach]

oooh, mkay

mkay

I read, ACOTAR though - zoned out like half the plot to be so for real - love the characters though-

[rustic pecan]

It’s actually scary how much AI can mentally impact some people but not others.

[pulsar cedar]

I spend more time reading than I do on character.ai I'll be honest. Considering with work, and other personal things, I'm only ever really on the app at weekend nights. I may take up reading Dostoevsky.

[still jetty]

I always wanted to write fanfics
I used to write but I’m retire about this

[restive fulcrum]

I read perfect chemistry!it’s a good book

[nimble galleon]

I doom scroll TikTok. I watch YouTube. I rewatch movies and shows or find new ones to watch.

[restive fulcrum]

So they actually used cai to vent?

[unique parrot]

Which Acotar series?

[hardy breach]

it is weird to think about

like, sure if the site went down, i'd be annoyed that I have nothing to do (considering i've read just about every book I have, and books are expensive-) - but I wouldn't like....be mentally screwed by it, i'd get over that boredom pretty quickly

[nimble galleon]

I use c.AI for the sillies tbh

[hardy breach]

A Court of Thorns and Roses-?

[unique parrot]

Is it good? I haven't read it. Theres another series called Acotar

[hardy breach]

so real, I use it cause whenever I try and write my own stories, I get like a sentence in, before writers block gets me, and I get distracted by the 35 other things in my house

[rustic pecan]

Lots of kids (and adults tbf but it’s more of a problem with kids) use CAI to get “therapy” and develop “friendships” with bots.

[fossil blaze]

Same, and I usually get bored pretty fast on it and switch to something else. I used to be sooo bad about using it a lot so I don’t even really mind the new age thing 🧍‍♀️

[restive fulcrum]

Oh damn…no wonder this is happening if it’s getting this bad

[hardy breach]

oh there is-?

and ye, I like it - there's a couple like, spicy scenes, as a warning to you - but if you want a new series, I though it wasn't bad

[nimble galleon]

I switch between characters a lot

[lime imp]

Heyy guys how are things going?

[native eagle]

I rarely if ever want to use cai but whenever I do with the little free time I have it's either broken or bugging LOL

[glad tinsel]

i genuinely just roleplay lifestyles i wont have like book lifestyles (e.g. being famous or being in ireland)

[hardy breach]

that's

that's weird to think about

[unique parrot]

I remember there was another one. Ill have to read it. Sounds interesting

[nimble galleon]

Real. I like using it for ideas for ocs.

[fossil blaze]

Sameee it’s mostly mha, kny, and Haikyuu rps for me

[rustic pecan]

I don’t wanna sound snarky or sarcastic, but there’s a lot of research and information about things like AI psychosis, how AI provides dopamine like drugs do, and how they validate people and how they think and it ends up mentally screwing them up. If anyone is interested in that.

[glad tinsel]

i know my cousins who are like 18 do it but theyre just goofy storys like one time one of them did draco malfoy getting stuck in her uterus and then her uterus just lasering him to shreds

[hardy breach]

I usually use it for like, very brief stories (ones that I couldnt rp with a real person, cause i'd switch topids too fast-), crossover things, or roleplaying when i'm just generally sick of people

cause sometimes, being so for real, talking with actual people when i've spent all day talking with people at work/in life in general - sucks/is tiring late at night-

[native eagle]

venting to ai is never gonna work because the LLM favors you even if you'd be in the wrong

[hardy breach]

I

..Pardon, run that by me again lmao-?

[restive fulcrum]

This is insane gang

[fossil blaze]

No literally. They should start posting Reddit aita stories instead or literally anything else

[hardy breach]

yea, that is part of why it's weird

like, I guess if something happens, and you vent just for comfort is (not great still, but) fine-?

But if it's like, venting about arguments/actual issues, there's nothing to get from that, other than, personal validation ig-?

[pulsar cedar]

Excuse me.

[hardy breach]

real

[glad tinsel]

uhh…

[rustic pecan]

Exactly. And kids don’t see/know that which is part of the problem and why laws are being passed.

In fact, in one of the cases where the kid died, he coded his messages in a way so the bot would agree with/support him and the bot wouldn’t know what he was actually saying. And then he was gone a few minutes later.

[native eagle]

I wouldn't say r/aita for venting but I'm sure there's plenty of online forums for people who are looking for an outlet to their feelings online, I myself used a website (that is now sadly very dead) to vent anonymously when I had no friends

[rustic pecan]

I used a site like that too.

[native eagle]

even when I was addicted to cai in the beginning I was addicted because I loved writing roleplay so much LOL I've never felt the need to use it for venting purposes because it's pointless

[fossil blaze]

Yeah, I used to use one called ventscape and it was pretty nice

[native eagle]

I'm not gonna shame anyone who did as long as they recognize that it wasn't good and they definitely weren't in a stable headspace to consider it above other forms of communities

[restive fulcrum]

I don’t know about u guys but before cai I used to use my imagination to think I was in a gacha react video..but in my defense I WAS 8

[chrome fern]

I am

[rustic pecan]

I agree. We don’t need shaming people. We need support and education.

[fossil blaze]

this is SO valid

[hardy breach]

yea exactly

like I will admit, I am still what most people would probably consider addicted

just, not for the reasons people thing (using it for venting/getting attached to it/replacing actual people with it)

I just really like roleplaying (especially in a way that allows me to edit the other side's messages and keep the story on track)/storytelling, without the writers block, lmao-

[native eagle]

I loved gachaverse/life I learned english online primary thru that lolll

[knotty fjord]

What's the trilogy? I'm an avid reader myself, so I'm honestly interested in knowing

[hardy breach]

real

or really any flavor of imagining, with like, music playing - still absolutely peak

[native eagle]

omg I understand the last point completely I love writing and sometimes I found very good plot ideas from cai introduction messages oop

[hardy breach]

REAL THO

in a pit full of bad, there are things like that that are still great about it, lmao-

That you can find things by other people, who've imagined and made bots for things, you wouldn't even think of on your own

[restive fulcrum]

It’s perfect chemistry!it’s a romance book but the characters actually have things to them other than the fall in love immediately trope

[knotty fjord]

Oooo! Do you know the author of the trilogy series so that I know what to look for?

[hardy breach]

-# YOOO, ROOK REACT- lmao

[pulsar cedar]

I'm much the same. I'm not addicted, I just get heavily immersed into the roleplay. Especially if I've given my OC lore prior. But I know my limits. I'm not non-stop constant on the app. I'm only ever active - mostly - at weekends, more at night, as I don't have work during the weekend.

[restive fulcrum]

The author is simone elkeles

[knotty fjord]

Tysm! I'll definitely be sure to check it out.

[hardy breach]

yee

I mostly use it in the mornings (if I wake up too early, but like, not early enough that I can go back to sleep), at nights after work, and during my work breaks when I have nothing better to do-

[red kiln]

Me too, as I do it when I’m off from school

[nimble galleon]

Real.

Cause that’s me too. I use my ocs on c.ai

[wispy rivet]

Agreed, I just use it to make stories and stuff so that way my family doesn’t accidentally stumble on my writing

[hardy breach]

so really, I guess c.ai being bad, really just matters on who you ask/what they're using it for-

[nimble galleon]

Yea true.

[rustic pecan]

CAI/genAi (if you look outside of environmental issues which is another topic) isn’t inherently bars it is all about the usage.

[red kiln]

Yeah, I mean, it could vary between person to person

[full topaz]

Age verification isn’t even working anymore n I’m stuck in reading mode after it ‘went through’

[native eagle]

I haven't got the verification yet and I'm just anxious because I wanna get it over with LOL

[hardy breach]

environment issues don't even need to be that bad, i'm sure theres a dozen better ways to cool/manage the servers

they just really, don't care about spending the money to fix it, when it already works/makes money as is for them

[full topaz]

It doesn’t work anyway

[prime cosmos]

Yikes

[full topaz]

@versed thicket

[rustic pecan]

If they’ve flagged you as an adult, you won’t get anything to verify so you’re likely fine.

[prime cosmos]

Anyone know when it’s gonna hit Texas if it already hasn’t??

[native eagle]

I heard it was for both underage users and adults but if not then I'm good to go

[prime cosmos]

I just want this over with bro

[red kiln]

Yeah, I kind of wonder if it’s going to hit my state soon(being Alabama lol)

[rustic pecan]

Nope. It is ONLY accounts they suspect of being minors. If they think you’re an adult, no need to verify.

[pastel hawk]

Bro my c.ai is heating my phone more than when I'm playing games 😔

[hardy breach]

oh neat

[pastel hawk]

And sometimes my games heat phone to 38 Degrees Celsius

[native eagle]

THANK YOUUU

[prime cosmos]

I wonder if it’s going north to south? Like up and down

[hardy breach]

i'm still scared i'll end up getting false-flagged for whatever reason (even though I feel like I would've gotten flagged by now, unless something drastically changes)

[red kiln]

Or west to east

[prime cosmos]

Yeah that too

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[pulsar cedar]

Hello again.

[versed thicket]

You should send a ticket:
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259

Let them know what prevents you from completing the age assurance, like if there's any error or whatnot.

[pseudo monolith]

wheres ur banner from it's cute :3

🆗

[full topaz]

I did, the number is 987455- i couldn’t use the age topic tho because it would just send my email back to me.

[red kiln]

I have a question

[native eagle]

hibiki from blue archive! she's my favorite character

[tulip pollen]

Hi Lvcifer

[pseudo monolith]

ty x

[pseudo monolith]

Hiiiii

[full topaz]

Anyway you could see if they could actually reply to the ticket this time? I sent a ticket two years ago about something different and they still never replied 💔
@versed thicket

[restive fulcrum]

Is it me or is the discord server been more active lately..

[acoustic night]

Does anyone know what charms are for?

[knotty fjord]

It's been more active lately due to this 18+ update.

[restive fulcrum]

That’s good atleast there actually talking to actual people..although they is a little crazy in the general chat

[full topaz]

That’s why i come here

[rustic pecan]

Both gen chats are terrifying

[wild skiff]

Allow me to not use a persona, please. Ts is horrid😔

[full topaz]

I don’t wanna use the other apps, but they never fix anything and now I can’t even use the app.

[rotund sparrow]

Can someone please help me? I’ve tried to log in with all my emails and none is my c.ai+ account 😭 I’m actually desperate…

[native eagle]

who remembers when we had no personas 🔥

[wild skiff]

🙋‍♀️

[native eagle]

did you previously use another way to login ?

[full topaz]

What if I make a new character ai account

No they’ll probably fuck that one over too

[rotund sparrow]

Just my apple id, which apparently hid my email and idk what happen, now I changed phones and I can’t log in with none of my emails 💔 not even with the icloud id

[zinc birch]

You could try using this form: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=16050186962587 🤷‍♂️

[full topaz]

💔💔

[rustic pecan]

They only actually respond to billing problems I think. /gen anything else is just looked into.

[full topaz]

they literally age verified my account but I still can’t use the app?? Shouldn’t they get back to me??

[prime cosmos]

Idk who said they were watching everything go downhill but they were 100% correct ngl

[rustic pecan]

Nah

[prime cosmos]

Maybe 80%

[scenic ore]

This is tuffff

Not really

[rustic pecan]

CAI is gonna be fine. They have 20m+ users monthly. They’ll lose some money but not enough to be a disaster.

They would lose more money getting involved in more lawsuits tbh

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[rotund sparrow]

So that means I lost everything. My characters, the stories, fckn everything? I’m paying for the subscription and I can’t even recover my account? Ugh…

[prime cosmos]

I said that btw because the person couldn’t use the app

[prime cosmos]

You can’t cancel the subscription in the App Store??

[stiff cradle]

Yeah, I looked it up and 75% of it's user base is in the 18-34 age range. They'll most likely manage

[rustic pecan]

Like they ABSOLUTELY ran the numbers to see how it would impact their income and userbase. They’re not just gonna make a decision like this out of the blue.

[rotund sparrow]

I can, but I don’t wanna lose my account and all the characters I created, yknow? I invested a lot of time 💔

[scenic ore]

Sometimes it is better to forget and open a new page 💔 (churcill or sum probly)

[stiff cradle]

Mhm. Plus most of those that have C.AI+ are people with jobs, so that earns them a good bit of revenue too.

[native eagle]

most paying users would have to be adults anyway because of having a stable money income to maintain a subscription

I did not have 11 euros to throw at the wind every month as a 15 year old for example

[prime cosmos]

Makes sense, maybe try and find a new app? Or become a fanfic reader wattpad is doing great nowadays

[scenic ore]

Probably they dont answer cuz there are many tickets right now bc of all these drama foldin on

[rustic pecan]

They’ll lose a decent amount of ad revenue but that can be replaced by new people lmao

[full topaz]

So does anyone know an app very similar to character ai that doesn’t fuck over their users

[rustic pecan]

We can’t suggest other apps.

[full topaz]

Bro these money hungry aa😭

[pulsar cedar]

Yes. It's called your imagination. And word document.

[prime cosmos]

Wups…I forgot abt that

[candid sun]

yall are FREAKING kidding i thought the under18 thing was for everywhere didnt know it was just US

[vestal forge]

be careful, you can’t mention any other apps here

[restive fulcrum]

Damn right when u said it too

[rustic pecan]

And any chatbot service in California has to do age verification now’s

[full topaz]

I like roleplaying, that’s why I use a ROLEPLAYING app

[prime cosmos]

They are spreading it everywhere

[rustic pecan]

It’s going everywhere eventually. It’s just starting in the US.

[full topaz]

Nobody roleplays with me and I like how I can control the story without constant fighting

[candid sun]

FUCK. hopefully itll take a while

[prime cosmos]

It most likely will since it’s gonna be world wide

[candid sun]

no youre so real. I want to control everything but I don't have the imagination to do that

[full topaz]

But now their age verification verifys me and doesn’t change it in the app.💀

[lost palm]

Guys, you know the memory feature where you can add any information that you want the bot to remember, when referring to yourself or the bot, can you just write your persona’s name or does it have to be {{user}} and {{char}} — I’ve been using {{user}} ect just to be safe 💔

[rustic pecan]

They’re probably going through thousands of accounts right now…

[scenic ore]

Bro, i cant say other options cuz yeah enough is enough im not gettin any more time outs today but yk u can just ask gpt🙏💔

[rotund sparrow]

Yes because roleplay and reading are the same 💀 thanks I guess. (Not really)

[full topaz]

ong

[prime cosmos]

Damn I was just tryna help, i literally suggested FINDING A NEW APP

[full topaz]

All they gotta do is make their verification work ..

[prime cosmos]

Blocked bc you ain’t gonna play on my phone that I pay for💔

[scenic ore]

Both works but sometimes i think it can mess up so use active persona just to be sure

[rustic pecan]

They’re giving you a list of suggestions???

[prime cosmos]

Thank u bro

[lost palm]

Sorry but what do you mean by active persona 😵‍💫

[full topaz]

The one u have activated in chat

[scenic ore]

Yk the persona u created for urself to use in chats

[pulsar cedar]

You realise there's something called patience. This is all new. Of course it won't work straight away.

[scenic ore]

With name, pfp and about sections

[lost palm]

OH! Yes yes, I have that but the memory I’m trying to add is some background context for the current scenario, the bot will recognise that right?

[full topaz]

I’ve opened numerous tickets about my account for around 2 years, about age verification recently, unable to add my email, unable to make characters, unable to log out- they literally never do anything. I still have all those problems .

[hollow lintel]

you must be new 💔 (if not, im surprised)

[scenic ore]

Yeah it will

[rotund sparrow]

I was asking help with the stupid account and if someone could help with that issue, I never asked for other apps suggestions 💀

[pulsar cedar]

I'm not. I'm merely frustrated with constant questions.

[full topaz]

It isn’t your job to answer them tho

[prime cosmos]

Mind you bro just now replied to my message and they’re still blocked, you ain’t gonna play on my phone that I be paying for 🫩

[hollow lintel]

thats also fair but do u think they arent already patient too

[restive fulcrum]

Wait are we gonna start. A Argument.

[full topaz]

You just said that

[prime cosmos]

Mb bro I ain’t see my message send

[rustic pecan]

Apparently

[lost palm]

Haven’t you tried making numerous tickets about whatever the issue is?

[full topaz]

Do you guys think my account will ever get fixed

[prime cosmos]

They have

[pulsar cedar]

I apologise if I came across as rather forward.

[restive fulcrum]

Oh never mind they made up

[lost palm]

I have the highest hopes for you 💔

[hollow lintel]

stop instigating 💔

[scenic ore]

Bro at this point, just do a fresh start

[full topaz]

even if I do that ill still get hit with the verification

That’s why I can’t use my account, it said ‘all good to go!!’ After I verified but I still can’t chat.

[rustic pecan]

I don’t know if this is how CAI works SO DO NOT QUOTE ME, but I know for a lot of places if you open multiple tickets it actually pushes them down further in the list. I do NOT know if CAI does this. This is just a theory.

[hollow lintel]

☹️

[lucid cloak]

I just made a Gachiakuta bot and I got two likes and 300 interactions in a couple days and I just now got done with the Definition and added a second intro 😭

I didn’t mean to make it public when it was built

[full topaz]

I even tried it from my computer 💔

[lost palm]

Since you said this, and if this happens with cai my new theory is that this happens with evey app 😔

[full topaz]

‘Further down the list’ has anybody here had a ticket replied to

[scenic ore]

Open new acc with new login way and tryna verify that way, or make via desktop - wai… whats the exact issue u havin with verification and what things u tried so far

[rustic pecan]

Yes I have seen it

[full topaz]

Verified multiple times on web, app, other phone, computer
All says good to go and now I can’t verify again. And I still can’t chat.

[hollow lintel]

[scenic ore]

Have u tried makin new acc via different login method? Like instead for ex apple login u use google or sum

[hollow lintel]

[full topaz]

But if I make a new account won’t I still have the same problem?? Plus, ill lose all my roleplays :(

[rustic pecan]

Are you on Apple or Android?

[full topaz]

Apple

[hollow lintel]

u can save them to ur notes docs gallery (if theyre rlly long u can js screenrecord if ur too lazy to copypaste em)

[full topaz]

I want the bot to remember them tho

[hollow lintel]

or use an extension to export

[rustic pecan]

Ooooh if you were on android I’d suggest clearing your cache but idk how to do it on apple (even if I’m on apple myself).

[hollow lintel]

ur gonna have to transfer the whole chat manually i fear

[rustic pecan]

Clearing your cache + logging back in (if you can log in and out)..

[full topaz]

I can try logging in and out but will it even let me verify again or fix it??

[scenic ore]

Nope new acc wont make other one gone if u have ur login. But yeah u gotta start new roleplays. But if u think about it, not that hard to let go bro we get bored and forget some anyway… or at least i do

[pulsar cedar]

Have you tried uninstalling the app, and then installing it again?

[timber oriole]

how did u verify?

[full topaz]

..my face? And yes I uninstalled the app twice

[hollow lintel]

ive deleted a few chats but i still like to keep a few

[timber oriole]

did it say you looked too young or anything else?

[full topaz]

It said I’m good to go

[scenic ore]

Beside it can be a simple bug, continue with new acc till u find out something or they get it fixed maybe

[timber oriole]

what happened after?

[full topaz]

nothing

[timber oriole]

u cant chat or anything?

[full topaz]

Nopeeeee

[timber oriole]

D: maybe u gotta wait for some time? there might be alot people doing it right now

[full topaz]

I’ll make a new account and public all my chats on my main, let’s hope at some point they’ll fix it
Or I won’t have to verify my new account.

[hollow lintel]

goodluck

[scenic ore]

English (sorry for my hi)

[full topaz]

😭😭😭

[timber oriole]

did it work?

[full topaz]

I’ll do it when I get home , in classes rn

[timber oriole]

oh! have fun class :-D

[full topaz]

I wish💔 my professor is so annoying💔💔

[scenic ore]

Mine is “fun” Imagine taking masters in electronics eng 💔

[zinc birch]

Do you get to build things?

[fluid isle]

cleared cookies now the login page dont even work

[scenic ore]

Thats the neat part….. no (but making circuit and coding part for heavy machinery at work and no one asks how, im just usin gpt+ for help🙏🙏😭)

[vocal sedge]

is c.ai down??

[scenic ore]

No

[lunar wigeon]

Mine is working fine

[small axle]

Guys I can edit chats now, but I’m a minor. What does that mean? is it a glitch or something?

[rustic pecan]

Have fun with it for now /j

[lunar wigeon]

lol

[small axle]

Ok I mean,most of the time I don’t really use the app. I only use it when I’m bored or something, but ok I guess

[lunar wigeon]

But yeah it's prob a glitch

[small axle]

Because I still like have the age verification thing in settings

[rustic pecan]

Most of us have it. It’s just there to verify if they tell you to do it.

[small axle]

Oh okay

[tulip pollen]

But can you like chose to verify, I mean this now like you didn’t get the pop up and they considered you 18+ but do you still have the option in advanced to verify if you want to?

[scenic ore]

I think it ll be mandatory for everyone who has it

[rustic pecan]

You can do it if you want but it’s not NEEDED unless asked.

[small axle]

I mean, I think I got the pop-up but like I just like got this feature I can edit chats now I don’t know I used to not have it so it’s probably a glitch

[tulip pollen]

Ahhh okay got it thanks, I will probably just verify instantly when I can so I don’t have to think about it

[rustic pecan]

Nope. It’s optional. It’s just coded in there like that parental insights thing everyone has.

[scenic ore]

No way the gifs arent allowed too

[tulip pollen]

Only plus users can send gifs and pictures in gen, gen2, verified and cai discussion channel

[scenic ore]

How u get that “verification” i ve plus

[tulip pollen]

Ahhh okay thanks for clarifying

[tulip pollen]

Go to cai on the website in settings and there should be a disord like “join the community”

[halcyon hill]

is anyone elses personas not working?

[rustic pecan]

Having to save any gif I want to send sucks lmao

[azure flower]

Will they remove the accounts if they aren’t verified?

[brave lily]

I doubt they’ll do that.

[tulip pollen]

No

[lime imp]

No

[rustic pecan]

Only chatting is removed. Everything else stays in tact.

[azure flower]

Okay, thank you everyone for answering!

[rustic pecan]

Not needed unless they ask.

[azure flower]

Permanent deleted or like closed until you verified?

[still jetty]

I’m verifying three times c.ai
Just in case
Because I’m too paranoid now

[charred hound]

Hello I'm not a minor and I keep trying to hit verify age but it keeps saying unable to verify on the app. Plus when I tried on the website the advanced button is gone. What do I do?

[rustic pecan]

Closed until you verify!

[timber canopy]

You don't have to verify unless it asks you. But if you really want to and can't then send ticket about it here under "age reassurance"
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[tulip pollen]

Hi Vicky

[sly geyser]

r.i.p my alt account. got hit with age verification and it wants my ID as well

[timber canopy]

Hello

[charred hound]

Okay I sent a ticket and all and when I try again it says to try again later is it just that the AI for it is getting too many or something?

[timber canopy]

Probably, we aren't sure

[charred hound]

Okay thank you I hope so because I'm not a minor and if I need to do something else to verify I'm willing.

[silver hill]

Just a question. If they're removing -18 people from the app... Are they going to loosen up the ftr? (forbidden word) 😭

[tulip pollen]

I don't care about my alt account that much

[timber canopy]

They won't remove it but maybe they would less it a little

[silver hill]

I would hope so

[sly geyser]

idc about mine either im just not going to give my id for a 2nd account that i rarely use

[brave lily]

Hopefully but not guaranteed tbh.

[rustic pecan]

This is my take. Censors aren’t going away at all. People need to get over that idea. At best it’ll lighten up.

[granite socket]

[timber canopy]

Mhm, that's what I mean exactly. Thanks Rise

[granite socket]

HI VICTORIAA

[brave lily]

That’s all I want tbh. At least a bit more lax than it is now than outright removed.

[timber canopy]

Kat! Hello

[granite socket]

Hiiii hruu?

[timber canopy]

I am good, how about you?

[split cairn]

Hi……

[rustic pecan]

I’m not lawyer or anything but i think there are too many liabilities in NO censorship and what could happen. But letting a little more around the censor is fair.

[zinc birch]

You can see the reason to have censorship if you go to sites that don't. (DON'T GO!)

[brave lily]

Honestly, I have to agree with that. The censor shouldn’t be removed but be a bit more lax so it isn’t triggered easily.

[frigid gazelle]

Guys, I have a question. C.ai Utilizes persona identities for facial recognition, correct?

[brave lily]

like, I enjoy romance in my RPs but the “adult dancing” shouldn’t be allowed tbh.

[rustic pecan]

Correct!

[brave lily]

I believe so. Persona will be used to scan your face then your ID if your face doesn’t work.

[timber canopy]

Make sure to take a rest Rise, I have seen you helping alot of people today

[rustic pecan]

I lowkey tried out other sites like that and had to NOPE out immediately.

[glad sierra]

How do you opt out of a persona?

[granite socket]

I'm good!!

[brave lily]

Though I’m a 26 year old guy, i honestly don’t want to see adult content a lot of the times as well, you know? It’s like movies, I may like to watch a horror movie from time to time but I also like a superhero movie as well.

[timber canopy]

I am glad to hear, make sure to take care of yourself and eat/sleep well

[rustic pecan]

And where did this info come from? What are the original sources and not quotes? Persona doesn’t have bots. Persona is used by lots of companies that aren’t CAI and have nothing to do with chatbots?

So where is the info?

[upbeat idol]

will the age thing reach the uk?

[frigid gazelle]

There's links, but I can't really send them since it'll be content blocked

[timber canopy]

Yes, In a few months

[karmic fractal]

Which horror movie?

[upbeat idol]

the problem is how do u verify if ur over 18 😭

[brave lily]

Mainly horror movies like IT or Saw.

[timber canopy]

If you get a pop up that wants you to verify, you would have to include a selfie, if it fails then ID

[upbeat idol]

ahh okay. atleast i got a few months to prepare lol

[karmic fractal]

Ahh IT is a good movie.

[keen flare]

Vickymouse 😏

[scarlet schooner]

if you don't verify, do you lose access to everything?

[frigid gazelle]

Is persona bad to use or not, I'm so confused.

[timber canopy]

Get out.

[keen flare]

You asked for it

[rustic pecan]

Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitter, Etsy, Roblox, OpenAI and other places use it off the top of my head. So I severely doubt any of it is true.

[timber canopy]

If you got flagged as minor and didn't verify then you won't be able to chat

[timber canopy]

Now I changed my mind

[keen flare]

Nah I'm changing ur nickname rn too late

[rustic pecan]

There are no news articles about Persona being bad. There are complaints, but nothing about it being shady.

[lyric tapir]

If our age assurance tech indicates you’re 18+, you won’t need to do any age verification at all.

Age Assurance: What you need to know

[frigid gazelle]

That's where I first got the info from, a large Roblox server that discussed the threats that persona grants. They gave us links, and I'd send them if I could

[timber canopy]

No..
-# Don't make it "Vickymouse"..

[scarlet schooner]

yeah I can't be bothered to verify as easy as it is so I might just let myself lose it. same with roblox I'll happily lose chat features atp than offering my id

[frigid gazelle]

I could send the links into your dms if you want?

[timber canopy]

It's your choice! You can do what you want

[upbeat idol]

ty!

[karmic fractal]

Hello Erhsin, how are you? 👋

[keen flare]

Vickymouse

[timber canopy]

-# I hate you, not this one just because I made a joke about it

[scarlet schooner]

I'd love to stay using c.ai but honestly everything is becoming 18+ and I'm not giving my id more and more to things and people for the sake of getting on something for chatting

[lyric tapir]

hello Emi..! Ershin's doing good.. glad to see you today..!

[keen flare]

It took me a while to come up w that so be grateful

[lyric tapir]

*No one will have to give C.AI an ID, and most users won’t need to give Persona an ID either.

If our age assurance tech indicates you’re 18+, you won’t need to do any age verification at all. If it indicates you’re under 18, and that’s not right, then you would just go through the selfie age verification process, powered by Persona. 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.*

[timber canopy]

It's totally understandable, it's your own choice and no one is forcing you do to do anything. So do what you are comfortable with
After all they won't ask for ID immediately if you only got flagged as minor, it's gonna ask for Selfie, if it fails then ID

[karmic fractal]

Same goes for you Ershin. 🙂

[timber canopy]

-# Really? How long..

[upbeat idol]

im genuinely surprised because i thought c.ai was minor friendly, atleast it used to be lol

[rustic pecan]

Nah I’ll keep doing my own research. I’m not trusting a Roblox server to be honest lmao. I’d rather believe the multiple companies who use it vs ppl mad over verification.

The only complaints are the verification process sucks and some other company things. Anything else is BS.

[keen flare]

When was the last time we talked? Exactly 👀

[timber canopy]

Uh, let me try to remember. I got fish brain memory

[timber canopy]

4 days ago

[keen flare]

🥲

[frigid gazelle]

I'm doing personal research, and I've already found 4 lawsuits against it

[timber canopy]

-# You thought 4 days about a nickname? Interesting and it's only ONE?

[keen flare]

I told you I'm uncreative

[timber canopy]

Be creative ✨
-# I am joking, you can keep it

[zinc birch]

You can send me the links. I love wild claims

[keen flare]

Anyways have a great day Vickymouse, and don't stay up late

[karmic fractal]

Ershin I have a question, what if the person doesn't have a phone even though they are an adult to verify?

[timber canopy]

You too, but i won't promise that i won't do that..

[scarlet schooner]

I mean yeah, take a look at roblox though. they try to split up age groups using ai and 20+ users are ending up in the 13+ range. all apps should be minor friendly unless flagged as not :^

[smoky palm]

Who wants to distract me from my miserable life rn

[scarlet schooner]

me dawg. I use c.ai to distract myself from empty dms, no plans n stuff 💔🥀

[stiff breach]

Roblox is a WHOLE story in itself

[lyric tapir]

If our age assurance tech indicates you’re 18+, you won’t need to do any age verification at all..

if in case they were got a prompt, they can use a device that has a camera..

[smoky palm]

Tucks a strand of hair behind my ear thanks...

[timber canopy]

If she got "you are verified" or something like that, I believe it stays in settings even if it's done

[scarlet schooner]

that's true. I think roblox surely needs the age verification stuff 😭

[frank totem]

I’m Alr good on there. It’s here. So far I think I’m on the 18+ thing. I can edit still and no time limit(I think)

[karmic fractal]

Oh okay, thank you for letting me know.

[split cairn]

There’s nothing better or as good as Cai

[timber canopy]

Probably a glitch, but if she got like time limits and can't chat, then she definitely have to send a ticket. But no need to worry for now. I think the verification stays in settings and doesn't disappear

[lyric tapir]

if they had a prompt initially, they should receive something like this..

Age Assurance from the Advanced is part of the Settings..

[rare elbow]

Plenty of websites to find answers

[rustic pecan]

I’ve found some of the “problems” at persona that are ALLEGED but no actual evidence of wrongdoing yet 🤷🏽‍♀️

Anyway is less of my concern bc I don’t need to verify ✌🏽

[mystic orbit]

chat are they already verifying today???

[split cairn]

I’m impatient. I just want to get the verification done and over with 🥹

[lyric tapir]

other users could ignore the prompt or will verify later.. so they need to get into settings to verify..

[mystic orbit]

it hasnt asked me anything so im just curious 🧍‍♀️

[rustic pecan]

They’ve been doing it for a minute.

[dusty carbon]

Hii I genuinely feel stupid rn asking this but the new update hw do you get out of reading mode?? It might just be different for me cause I have samsung

[timber canopy]

You can't, minors won't be able to chat anymore. Just reading it

[dusty carbon]

Oh ok thats helpful tyy

[timber canopy]

Anytime!

[rancid granite]

Is anyone else having issue with the age verification? I tried multiple times and got approved, yet it wouldn't let me out of reading mode

[timber canopy]

Send ticket about it here under age reassurance and explain the issue
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[dusty carbon]

It won't let me verify either 😭

[rancid granite]

I've already sent one, haven't gotten a response

[timber canopy]

You can ping a mod to bump the ticket, if you want. They don't exactly respond to tickets though

[lyric tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-felicia-hiding-humiliated-leave-me-alone-girl-bye-gif-21567771

[timber canopy]

We found one.. no escape Ershin

[mystic orbit]

OH you can verify on website but it doesnt stop you from using it if you dont verify

[split cairn]

I love how most the of the apps are doing age verification is the US but Cai is doing it globally

[timber canopy]

You can't verify cause you're a minor

[mystic orbit]

I only use the website i dont like the app

[rancid granite]

I've tried both the website and the app, still stuck in reading only mode

[frank totem]

Think I’m safe if I can edit and stuff right? I didn’t get a pop up either

[timber canopy]

If you didn't get the pop then you are okay

[mystic orbit]

Yeah i never got one, i just chatted with a new bot and it worked so

[desert urchin]

If you have soft Launch and can Edit messages then your good

[still jetty]

Hey I found you!

[frank totem]

Then im Golden💀💙

[rustic pecan]

The law js specific to ones located in California so they all all eventually put more age verification in. CAI also decided to remove minors on their own. Both are true.

[timber canopy]

Rudie!
-# Suggest me a food to make

[split cairn]

Yh. I noticed a lot of apps put age verifications and nobody got any in Canada. I’m in Canada. But it could change for Canada soon

[rancid granite]

I'm completely locked out of attempting age verification now, even though I've already been verified and stuck in reading only mode

[rustic pecan]

Awww I was gonna respond to that 🙁

[timber canopy]

Hmmm...a stir fry?

[lyric tapir]

please submit a ticket..

[frigid gazelle]

who keeps removing my messages?

[rancid granite]

I have

[timber canopy]

Thank you! I will do it soon

[frigid gazelle]

Am I being silenced by c.ai..?

[lyric tapir]

oke.. let's wait for the team to take action..

[spare glacier]

Hello

[bleak mango]

Guyss!! What to do if while trying to get on bot creator profile I get an notification that its unavailable and have to try again while later, yet when I try again nothing changes TvT

[frigid gazelle]

C.ai is trying to silence me from speaking up about persona 😔

[frigid gazelle]

restart your device or sum

[bleak mango]

tried that already

[frigid gazelle]

Restart your provider

If it still doesn't work, just get a new account.

[dire berry]

The creator probably made the bot private.

Or if you're talking about the creator themself then they probably deleted their account.

[frigid gazelle]

Their account has been deleted or banned

[bleak mango]

thought so

well thanks

[spare glacier]

So have they kicked the minors off from one on one chatting yet?

[rustic pecan]

They’ve started

[rustic pecan]

From what I gather the lawsuits aren’t about persona being safe or not. It’s just that it was used at all and they’re defendants alongside the main company being sued (but I could be wrong) since they were used. But I digress.

[rustic pecan]

They only REALLY actually respond to billing tickets RIP.

[full topaz]

GUYS MY CHARACTER AIBIF DIXED

I CAN CHAT NOW
hopefully my age is actually verified and it’s not jsut a glitch.

[timber canopy]

Oh yeah. Thanks for clearing it up for me, Rise

[split cairn]

Cooked

[frigid gazelle]

I'll ask those that pointed it out, since I'm not entirely sure myself

[meager trellis]

Hey, I also need some help here! Just joined the discord for this lol. I'm no longer able to edit messages, but still have access to Soft Launch, Pipsqueak, and no time limit and can chat. I use web and verification won't work. Is it a glitch or am I about to get snapped?

[gritty cloak]

same for me, super confused

[meager trellis]

I got the elf of doom like three days ago but nothing changed so I assumed it was a glitch. Contacted support and haven't got anything yet. Are we cooked?

[gritty cloak]

dude the exact same happened for me, i think it’s a bug and we’re not cooked but it’s super annoying

[knotty fjord]

@lyric tapir ^^

[timber canopy]

Edit button tends to glitch, try rewinding or deleting messages. If you didn't get a pop up to verify then you haven't been flagged as a minor!

[meager trellis]

Is it actually clear what the AI is scanning for when they're determining who's a minor and who's an adult? I've seen a lot of different things. Hoping linking discord (which I never use) will help.

[rustic pecan]

Edit button glitches/disappears sometimes. If you never got a timer or a popup asking to verify you should be fine.

[weary horizon]

Ig welcome to discord then

[gritty cloak]

i got a popup to verify and don’t have the edit button, BUT i have soft launch and no timer

i’m pretty much in limbo idk

[timber canopy]

Then you have to verify, if you can't then send ticket about it and wait for a fix. That's all I know

[lyric tapir]

have you received a pop up like this?

[rustic pecan]

It’s a combination of factors and they’re not saying what all they are but they look at things like how old your google/apple account is, when you use the app and how often, how you use the bots, etc. but that’s vague and general.

[weary horizon]

At least theyre not using ai to see how old we are

[meager trellis]

A couple days ago i got the popup but nothing changed. Heard it was a glitch.

[knotty fjord]

No, they are.

[gritty cloak]

they totally are

[weary horizon]

Nvm then.......

I thought they used humans

[gritty cloak]

i actually got a new one today, armor elf lady with purple hair

i also tried to verify before but my camera’s really bad and i couldn’t for whatever reason

[rustic pecan]

They’re using in-house checks to scan chats but not actual people. There’s no way for them to read everyone’s chats lmao

[lyric tapir]

you better follow these..
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/43665577363739-How-do-I-verify-my-age-Best-Practices-and-FAQ

Oooooo okay

[meager trellis]

I can't edit but never got a message saying I was scanned as a minor. I still have everything else so prob a glitch but waiting to hear back. Verify won't even load

[old laurel]

What is 1:1 is it just 1 to 1

[timber canopy]

Chatting with bots

[old laurel]

Then what else can you use the app for, if that ain't available

I am too lazy to find the screenshot of this again.

[molten ore]

Bro why whenever i like in my recommendations or wtv i see ghost or wtv

[timber canopy]

hello! I texted there previously multiple times but it didn’t help me. I’ve been experiencing one problem with c.ai for four month now I think?? So it didn’t let be enter the app, it just endless downloading, no apple,google enter or sign in, idk what to do:( i submitted a ticket multiple times but they said to submit another ticket??😭 yesterday the app was updated but i still cannot enter it. I’ve tried redownloading it, vpn and even reseted my phone settings and tried to download c.ai on different apple account. does someone know what i need to do?? maybe someone have the same problem?

i heard from somewhere that if your account is not that old (i think around 2024-2025) your account isn't affected by this is this true or not ( prob not)

[timber canopy]

Oh my..that's alot
Did you try another device instead?

[timber canopy]

yes! it worked, but on the phone it still doesn’t

[hasty inlet]

I am a little confused about this, so will the age assurance tech make every user verify their age?

[cerulean basin]

Only if your account got flagged as a minor, I still haven't gotten it yet

[hasty inlet]

Ohh okay, thank you for the info!

[compact igloo]

I got my account verified but I still have no chat 😢

[timber canopy]

I am not entirely sure. But maybe it's the device problem, so for now use the other device and keep sending tickets if it's still happening. You can also bump the ticket by pinging a mod and explaining the issue for them as well as indicating the ticket number

[timber canopy]

Send ticket about it here under age reassurance!
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[compact igloo]

I keep doing it, but I keep getting the automated response

[granite socket]

[compact igloo]

Also where can I find the mods?

[rustic pecan]

Not true. Everyone goes through it. But only people flagged as minors have to verify .

[timber canopy]

Just send the ticket number and explain your issue and I will help you to ping one of them

[orchid crag]

If anything, younger accounts will be under more scrutiny as people try to bypass the verification via alts

[compact igloo]

Tysmmmm, you're a queen 🫅

[timber canopy]

Aw thank you! Anytime! Just send the message here about your issue with ticket number in this channel and I will do the rest

[rustic pecan]

Exactly. People with no history attached to their account look more suspicious lmao

[timber canopy]

hi! can you please check my ticket 966140. I have an issue with entering into the app @lyric tapir

[rare elbow]

i just wanted to check if the ticket was submitted or not ☑️

[compact igloo]

I am so sorry, but where do I find my ticket number?

[half dawn]

Do you have Android? If so make sure the auto blocker is off in settings.

[rustic pecan]

The email they sent when submitting the ticket.

[rare elbow]

i have a a few weeks of waiting, pls thx ❤️

[compact igloo]

Y'all are amazing, thank you

[lyric tapir]

seen your response earlier.. you've mentioned you can access your account from a different device.. would it be your device that has issues..??

[meager trellis]

I never got an email when i submitted my ticket. I can tell you my user tho if you could find my ticket! I'm happy to do whatever to verify, but I'd really like it resolved!

[timber canopy]

no, iphone

[half dawn]

Ah I can't help there than, Android has an auto blocker that can accidentally cause issues with apps. Maybe check your settings for something like that. 💚

[late pier]

mfs on c.ai engineering the most corny, unnecessarily (INSERT BAD THING HERE) bots in the world:

[timber canopy]

i have no problems accessing on my ipad, but i can't log in on my phone @lyric tapir sorry to tag you so much

[balmy lark]

Is character ai self destructing with this update?

[late pier]

pretty much

[wild ibex]

Lmao hi

[radiant pewter]

I wish they didn't do this update. It doesn't make sense.

[late pier]

have you seen these f-cking bots

[pseudo escarp]

what update ? /genq

[compact igloo]

I don't see the email from an bot. I just submitted another.

[compact igloo]

I' m guessing they mean the Under 18 rules

[radiant pewter]

Where they made it 18+

[pseudo escarp]

ah

[rustic pecan]

It makes perfect sense. California made age verification laws and CAI doesn’t want more lawsuits involving minors. It’s simple.

[timber canopy]

Did you go to the right email account that you submitted the ticket with? Double check

[late pier]

this is why i F-CKING HATE GAYOFORNIA

[compact igloo]

AND FLAGGED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE 18 AND OLDER AND REFUSED THEM VERIFICATION

[balmy lark]

Basically, if your account gets flagged, you will be forced to either verify via face ID or use the -18 chat. For more info, check #📣︱announcements

[rustic pecan]

Cry about it I guess

[late pier]

THEY BANNED REAL FIREARMS FROM VIDEO GAMES TOO

[compact igloo]

What 18 and under chat? They banned everyone 18 and under from chatting

[meager trellis]

the only thing i got close to a ticked number was this:
PEJ7WV-1WP9M. That right?

[rustic pecan]

Nothing is being deleted….?

[late pier]

im not giving my personal information to this shady ass company

[timber canopy]

No, it's only numbers

[lyric tapir]

since you can access CAI from other device it would mean that your phones have the issues..
