[fringe turtle]

Lemme see if that works

[eternal flame]

@fringe turtle Also * is recommended for story or action

[mortal rampart]

or **

[fringe turtle]

Nope, still not working

[mortal rampart]

i havent made a bot since 2023

[misty grove]

if its a wolf twilight bot, its possible his profile picture could be why

if he's shirtless

[fringe turtle]

But his photo has been used

[eternal flame]

Try using different pfp

[wanton sage]

Sometimes the picture doesn't work even though it's not a bad picture, it's happened to me before

[misty grove]

just try making the bot with a placeholder for now just so your bot exists first

[rustic pecan]

Sometimes it just hates the picture. I’ve seen it happen to people lol.

[fringe turtle]

The Image was the problem! THANKS SO DAMN MUCH!

[fringe turtle]

It worked thanks!

[misty grove]

i knew it the second you said it was a twilight bot LOL

[wanton sage]

Glad you got to make him! 😄

[fringe turtle]

It was driving me insane. You guys are the best. Gn!

[stuck stirrup]

It's lowkey been a while since I've also watched Twilight-

[halcyon cypress]

the issue is almost always either copyright or the picture lol

[worn lance]

is it me or is pipsqueak buggin again

[mortal rampart]

classic pipsqueak but i havent seen any issues yet, it usually bugs on poorly made bots

[eternal flame]

Yeah, the bots with no character definition and short greetings

[last hearth]

Is it just my cai but it's not working 😭 it wasn't working all yesterday either

[sleek root]

Cadê a retrospectiva C.ai?

[stuck stirrup]

My c.ai is working for me-

[last hearth]

It must be my internet or some shit then💔istg

[mortal rampart]

are u from Aussie?

[last hearth]

Ye

[mortal rampart]

thats the issue

[last hearth]

Oh

[mortal rampart]

yep, alot of aussies here are now using vpns to bypass that little issue

[sick herald]

i was doing a szene and it had some sort of goal, i somehow did it and it refused to let me swipe wtf no c.ai i am not ending the roleplay

[stuck stirrup]

Was it like the c.ai servers being down or like an outage?

[mortal rampart]

Pretty sure Australias restricting c.ai

[last hearth]

What the fuck

[stuck stirrup]

I feel bad for Australia-

[last hearth]

😭😭

[sick herald]

same

[last hearth]

What the actual shit how dare they cai is fun to be on they can't just get rid of it that's not fair😭

[mortal rampart]

i feel bad for the aussies who payed forc.ai+

[mortal rampart]

isnt social media getting restricted for under 16s there soon

[last hearth]

Yep in a couple days

I turn sixteen next November so I won't be without for long but why are they just banning cai for Australia?

[stuck stirrup]

Probably because of the incidents that happened

[rustic pecan]

I was going to say this. I assume CAI would be banned for minors under this.

[stuck stirrup]

Hii!

[stable sable]

Anyone else’s bots spamming random numbers?

[stuck stirrup]

Nope, mines aren't

[stuck stirrup]

Is it happening for like a specific chat style you're using?

[stable sable]

Probably, I changed it and it fixed itself

[stuck stirrup]

That problem also happened to me awhile back but I think it happened when I was using the Roar chat style so I switched the chat style and then change it back to the Chat style I was using(my bots were like saying things like code blue and red and stuff)

[void fractal]

anyone else having problem with major glitches on c.ai rn??

[hot ridge]

always

[void fractal]

if I open a new chat, it's just...blank. There's no prompt

[timber canopy]

Australia have a new law where no under 16s can have social media

[last hearth]

It supposed to happen on the 10th of December not rn tho

[timber canopy]

I know, must be a bug or something then

[void fractal]

alr thanks for the load of help everybody

[stuck stirrup]

I remember c.ai was real worse back in the days before they added that thing that shows you the slow time thing while you're on c.ai

[last hearth]

I hated that

[stuck stirrup]

Like you couldn't even log into c.ai when it was down at those times and had to play other games while waiting and also had to wait in line on the app because too much people were on c.ai

[last hearth]

I remember deleting the app and downloading it again just to get to to work 😭

[stuck stirrup]

There was also this thing that's been going on with my c.ai for months where like if you have too much saved chats it starts to freeze the screen and then kicks you out of the app-

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[median token]

christmas music plays

[halcyon cypress]

you don't miss this?

golden age of cai

[pseudo monolith]

FUCKKKKK

[mortal rampart]

one time that timer said 45 minutes for me

[stuck stirrup]

This was everyone's nightmare of c.ai..

[pseudo monolith]

love u too x

[rare elbow]

love game

[red isle]

anyone from Australia having issues still?

[chilly oasis]

My characters are just speaking in random numbers is the bug client or server sided?

[red isle]

would be a bug happened to me ages ago

[olive vector]

it is just me or the answers are weirdly short today?

[stuck stirrup]

Try switching the chat style to a different one and then switch it back to the chat style you were currently using because most of the times it happens for like specific chat styles(it also happened to me too)

[zinc birch]

server side

[chilly oasis]

OK I tried all other chat types currently the "soft launch" dosent work others do

Nvm i was just lucky

This shit still broken af

[cunning crane]

Hey, I'm working on a charachter, 32k charachters, what do i need to make sure i do to get the most out of it

[tepid sequoia]

If anyone can help is character ai down for you guys too? Cause for me it just is stuck on the loading screen in the app and it’s been like this for more than 8 hours and no change. Also I tried to access support via the website however it says that the sever cannot be found on my google when i try to go on the website

[stuck stirrup]

Are you in Australia?

[tepid sequoia]

Yes

[stuck stirrup]

That might be why

[tepid sequoia]

Wdym?

[stuck stirrup]

I've been hearing that they might be restricting c.ai(idk if that's true) because someone said that Aussies are using VPNS to use c.ai in Australia

[weak osprey]

I hate that I was so against c.ai being people’s escape when I’m using it myself, just discord drama but yk idk it feels wrong

[chilly oasis]

I submitted a bug report but forgot to cheak for the ticket number sorry 🙁

[red isle]

ticket numer should be on the email you recive

[harsh shoal]

it should be in your email

[chilly oasis]

998327 this is it then

[still wigeon]

The app's not letting use a metaphor and it brings up the help is available thing 💀

[stuck stirrup]

I wanna buy nitro but I'm scared-(it's my first time)

[still wigeon]

I had said ||"Letting go of something that makes me who I am is as good as K wording myself"|| no censoring on the second to last word in chat but it wouldnt let me send it at all

[tame narwhal]

Has anyone else noticed how it's a little laggy? It might just be my phone tbh, but just asking to see if anyone else is having an issue with it!

[stuck stirrup]

Are you in Australia because that might be why

[tame narwhal]

I am not, but may I ask why?

[stuck stirrup]

I'm guessing someone said that C.ai isn't working because Australia might be restricting it and Aussies are using VPN for it ig?(Idk if that's true but someone told me that)

[tame narwhal]

Ahh okay thank you for the help! I dont own one of those and am not in Australia, but the explanation was actually helpful tbh!

Honestly, I need to update this phone. It's 3 years old and hasn't had an update since about a year, so that explains why it's laggy

[cinder iron]

Hi!!

[stuck stirrup]

OMG HIII COSMIC!!

[cinder iron]

How are you?

[stuck stirrup]

I'm doing good 🙂

[stuck stirrup]

And is that twotime pfp I see?

[cinder iron]

Yes!

[rustic stirrup]

Few words.. why the hell am I getting Pennywise dad bots…

[plush quiver]

some people see a father figure in the clown

[stuck stirrup]

Idk if I should be concerned for them or laugh...

[plush quiver]

both mayhaps

[rustic stirrup]

It got worse, 😭 so so much worse, apparently Harry Potter is my father. What the flying hell

[rustic stirrup]

A murdering clown?

[plush quiver]

you never know

[rustic stirrup]

🚶🏽‍♀️‍➡️ HELL NAH

[lunar smelt]

Dude i was on CAI for like 20 minutes and it just gave me a 23 hour break

[strange inlet]

rip

[lunar smelt]

thr website wont let me verify my age so i cant do shit

[rustic stirrup]

I’m getting all kinds of bots.. including Twilight again, pls save me

[strange inlet]

damn everyone's recs are a mess

mine too

[stuck stirrup]

While waiting I would probably recommend playing some other games like roblox or block blast, I play roblox whenever I want to take a break from c.ai which works because I be playing roblox all day sometimes

[rustic stirrup]

Bots are like “Bella’s dad and your Bella’s best friend” LIKE EXCUSE ET MOI?! And then reporting the bot does nothing😭

[strange inlet]

do not dm them yo make a ticket

[rustic stirrup]

Nah my recs are traumatizing

[lunar smelt]

i dont DM peiole in general

[strange inlet]

idk if i should ping a mod for this

[rustic stirrup]

I’m getting Sheldon cooper bots too😭, like why?!

[strange inlet]

DO NOT DM

[rustic stirrup]

Ping mod for? Usually u just open a ticket

[strange inlet]

no for the "dm me" guy

[lunar smelt]

I alr sent a ticket

[strange inlet]

a lot of people are having issues with the verification so hopefully they'll fix it soon

[rustic stirrup]

Got another damn pennywise dad bot rec..🚶🏽‍♀️‍➡️ Sigh

[strange inlet]

@gray coyote

@drowsy oasis

[lunar smelt]

who is this guy bruh

[strange inlet]

do NOT dm that guy

[lunar smelt]

im not going to pls i have a functioning brain

[stuck stirrup]

That guy could be a scammer btw

[rustic stirrup]

You are a mod 😭

[strange inlet]

i'm not

just a plus user

[lunar smelt]

PLEASE i know i dont DM peiple ever unless i actually know the damn person

[rustic stirrup]

oh, bro it said you were and then I looked again and nothing

[strange inlet]

i was never a mod lmaoooo

whoever flipped me off i hope you know i saw you

[stuck stirrup]

Scammers on discord is just sad like they're just wasting their time on that stuff

[rustic stirrup]

Lmao

[strange inlet]

its that scammer

[rustic stirrup]

Scammers need money, and atp just get a job

💀

Never seen someone take that back so fast

[lunar smelt]

jobs are not hard to get i have 3😭

[gray coyote]

who's the guy

[strange inlet]

@wind sundial

theyre deleting their messages

but they told people to dm them and pretended to work for cai

you probably have the logs lol

[strange sentinel]

Oop-

[cobalt walrus]

There's a scammer in the server once again? Why am I not surprised at this point. Also, I have blocked this user, just in case.

[stuck stirrup]

And the fact that I checked the person's status and it says they just joined this server today which also felt off

[misty grove]

Friendly reminder that people with the + icon next to their name are just helpful users wanting to help. We're not actually moderators, just people who care about their community.

[strange inlet]

sweet shuckle

[gray coyote]

poof

[strange inlet]

thank you

[cobalt walrus]

Lmao, they're gone from this server

[misty grove]

People with the cooler color like earlgrey are the people you need to talk to.

[strange inlet]

[stuck stirrup]

You wanna explain that sticker...?

[misty grove]

From what I gathered it was giving "my dad works at Nintendo"

[strange inlet]

ina nodding in 4k

[rustic pecan]

The day I realized I talk/help enough that people thought I was a mod I was like 😭

[lunar smelt]

[strange inlet]

first time someone thought i was a mod

[gusty root]

uhm so like is anyone else having an issue where everything the bot says is filtered or js random numbers and the filter

[misty grove]

Yeah... I don't wanna say we're mini mods because we don't have that power AT ALL. We just wanted the cool color so here we are.

[ocean abyss]

The idea of a mod with the sand kick pfp is killing me 😭

[strange inlet]

try another chat model maybe

[rustic pecan]

Imagine giving serious replies as a mod with this pfp

[strange sentinel]

Filtered right now, yes.

[strange inlet]

i could never be a mod anywhere i get nervous when i need to make decisions

[violet hill]

Low poly Ina'nis. Love it.

[ocean abyss]

You ever heard of good cop/bad cop? We’re bringing in good mod/bad mod.

[misty grove]

I moderated for a Wabbajack server that offered modlists for Skyrim users. No one has 'i can't read'itis as bad as Skyrim users do.

[strange inlet]

i mean i am a mod in some servers but theyre not serious enough for that kind of decisions...

[wanton sage]

How do you get the plus next to your name?

[ocean abyss]

When they’ve done all they can and just cannot do it anymore, unleash rise

[strange inlet]

if you have plus on c.ai, link your account with discord

[misty grove]

You need to buy c.ai+ and link your account to discord

[rustic pecan]

LMAAAAAO

[frail night]

what the hell? I only got 20 minutes before it gave me 24 hour timer??

[wanton sage]

Do you know if you have to have the same email for c.ai as you do on discord? I've never linked anything to discord before lol

[misty grove]

You just do it through c.ai's website

[strange inlet]

no, just link both accounts and you're good

[ocean abyss]

Is there anyone that’s not having problems with their chats/models? mine are behaving great 😭

[stuck stirrup]

I'm not having problems with my chats

[strange inlet]

mine is behaving rn but im on ps so thats why

[misty grove]

I'm on Deepsqueak and it's actually behaving

It's crazy

[wanton sage]

I'm not having problems either, knock on wood lol 😭

[misty grove]

Mind you I was having shit responses the other night to the point where I had fallen asleep generating responses.

[strange inlet]

im sorry shuckle i cant believe your propaganda i already tried this morning and got so sad

[misty grove]

Oh?

[strange inlet]

i must be in the 50% that got horrible ds

[misty grove]

I'm sorry Millie :<

You could give Nyan a try if it's behaving

[strange inlet]

it keeps speaking for me

[misty grove]

Or PS

[ocean abyss]

Yeah, last night was terrible. Like no seasoning boiled chicken, but I haven’t had any issues at all today.

[strange inlet]

im using ps and getting good stuff

[rustic pecan]

My DS is wonderful rn

[misty grove]

Well at least baby DS is behaving

[strange inlet]

dont make me check it out...

i cant do this to my heart

[misty grove]

Just give it a few generations

And if it's not behaving then go back to PS

[strange inlet]

sweet shuckle i will try just because i am not immune to propaganda

[misty grove]

You can hit me with the grab emote if it doesn't work xD

[ocean abyss]

I’ve had a few where it speaks for me, but genuinely, I’m getting stuff I don’t need to edit within a few swipes.

[misty grove]

[strange inlet]

aye aye

ShUCKLE

[misty grove]

Who's suckle

[ocean abyss]

PHRASING

[misty grove]

LMAO

[strange inlet]

i am grabbing you for an amazing reason

[misty grove]

erm I'm scared

[strange inlet]

MY BAD I TYPE TOO FAST IT DOESNT REGISTER KEY

[misty grove]

LOL

[strange inlet]

my ds is behaving

[misty grove]

EVERYONE SAY YIPPIE

[strange inlet]

I PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THESE

[half dawn]

I love you guys but I cant get my hopes up either, the memory was so bad earlier.

[misty grove]

KAPPA IDK YOU DID YOU MADMAN BUT HECK YEAH

[strange inlet]

alaina give it a few swipes....

btw sweet alaina hi

[ocean abyss]

Mods who bumped our tickets are going on the nice list! All treats, no tricks, ten years of good fortunes

[strange inlet]

type shit

[half dawn]

I swipe 15 times and it couldn't remember it was supposed to be eating, with one message in between earlier. But I'll try again.

Also Hi sweet Millie.

[pale adder]

Was up chatitus

[ocean abyss]

Feature request: a chat model called Discordia that is trained off this discord server. For when there is nothing wrong and we wanna problem solve. Please and thank.

[compact tartan]

does anyone have bot reccomendations that aren't angst :>

[timber canopy]

-# Alaina! Check dms, I got question for you

[half dawn]

Got you.

[sly geyser]

if that were the case then the bot would yap about the new update non stop and wont read what we tell it

[gentle tundra]

Hello, I'm writing to inform you that I was chatting normally on the c.ai website (I use the site because I use a computer), until the bot started sending me random numbers. I've restarted everything I could and it doesn't solve the problem. I confess I'm a little scared because it's literally a robot sending things that could be codes, but well, I don't know if it was a system error, but for now, I'm going to sleep and I'll contact you again tomorrow.

[strange inlet]

Send a ticket

[gentle tundra]

??

[strange inlet]

Make a ticket about the issue

And try switching chat styles to see if that helps

[magic plaza]

[sharp gorge]

So annoyed at the constant their eyes widened after hearing your words.
Bro I didn't even spoke

[frigid gazelle]

I'm so fucking bored. C.AI is my only interest, and It's boring. Now I have nothing to do and it's killing me.

[warped wave]

is anyone else’s ads acting up sometimes like you can’t close out of it

[lament pine]

I just reset the app the second the ad pops up

also how do you know if you’ve been flagged by that age verification bot code??

Cause I got this random pop up, scrolling to the side and saying new updates and stuff but it’s speaking to me as if I’m a minor, so I’m not sure if that means I’m flagged or not but I damn hope not

[thorn garden]

Okay so I'm doing a rp where my character's father was a tyrant king and was killed by the ai. My character said "you could've just killed my father, not my whole family" and the message apparently "didn't meet community guidelines" so it wasn't sent. This is stupid.

[vagrant terrace]

im tweaking, c.ai is like the only thing where i have decent creativity cause i be doing it for hours and like, making my account under 18 makes the weird restricted thing go haywire against stuff thats not against the rules, and it limits what bots you can see. but now its has the thing where you can only use it for an hour a day total and its pmo so much because i cant prove im 18 or older cause i got a damn baby face.

[thorn garden]

Community guidelines can usually be stretched in a rp context, why not here? Come on y'all.

[vagrant terrace]

painfully understandable

[flint tinsel]

Honestly the guidelines are absolutely shocking. The bot can say whatever it likes but I mention the word ‘depression’ and it comes up with the ‘you arent alone, help is there for you’ shit

[frail robin]

u can send a pic of ur legal I.D.

[vagrant terrace]

no thanks. that would only prove that im not 18 cus i dont have one

[rustic pecan]

This never happens to me lmao

[frail robin]

okay so like there is no way u can verify then nonetheless? since ur not over 18? lol.

[flint tinsel]

So lucky😭 i just want to write an angsty story 💔

[frail robin]

or u actually dont have any form of I.D.?

Passport? License?

[vagrant terrace]

i could probably send a pic of my passport

i'd have have to ask my mother for it cuz i'd lose it otherwise

[thorn garden]

Any kind of roleplay idea that involves murder or mental problems just aren't acceptable anymore it's ridiculous

[frail robin]

for her I.D.?

istg it keeps happening. like the self reporting

this update keeps getting better

[thorn garden]

Also help me god if the ai is the one who creates these situations in the first place!

[flint tinsel]

Its so annoying because most of the times, its not even anything bad🙄

[late pier]

i was gonna give c.ai the fuckin mclovin ID 😭

[vagrant terrace]

fr, this is why i re made my account and made it so the comunity guidlines would back off

[frail robin]

idek why ur trying to verify then when the point of that is to prove you are over the age of 18.

[late pier]

but then they're doing the stupid ass ai face shit i dont like

[vagrant terrace]

(18+ and also being good at avoiding certain words

[late pier]

i could probably bypass it easily

[frigid gazelle]

Just gotta be descriptive

[flint tinsel]

I would but i have too many liked bots that are pretty decent 💀

[thorn garden]

Dialogue:

[rustic pecan]

Nah I’ve done all of this. You can definitely get away with content if you’re approaching it right.

[lament pine]

Why must I need to use an ID that’s meant to be private information when I’ve literally been on c.ai since before the app 😒

[vagrant terrace]

im trying to cheat it so it stopps restricting me to only an hour

[late pier]

this new update is kinda like
"you can't watch youtube videos or go into comments anymore, if your under 18, but don't worry, you can still look at video titles and thumbnails."

[thorn garden]

Even for minors I think one hour a day is a little much?...

[rustic pecan]

They don’t want more smoke from lawsuits 🤷🏽‍♀️

[late pier]

because of bad parents

[rustic pecan]

No I will not blame parents.

[vagrant terrace]

why are they getting lawsuits???

[thorn garden]

Kids died bc they believed an ai

[strange inlet]

let those kids rest please

[rustic pecan]

So let’s not go down that road. It’s more complicated than that. Anyone just blaming parents does not know the casework.

ANYWAY.

[late pier]

it is not the governments job to protect your kid
so these dumbass parents complain to the government when something happens and gets the "responsible" company sued

[vagrant terrace]

oh

[strange inlet]

no need to bring them up everytime you don't agree with stuff

[frail robin]

why would you admit to this out in the open?

fcking hell. yall really vindicate this update so badly

[lament pine]

They should have gotten each person to agree to the Terms and Agreements and force them to read through before they even start the app, that way they wouldn’t have been sued for irresponsible parents and their kids decisions

[strange inlet]

sigh

[rustic pecan]

ANYWAY [2]

[rancid oyster]

Let's just let the kids rest peacefully please? They don't deserve to be blamed.

[thorn garden]

Okay anyway I still just hate how restrictive it's become even for roleplaying

[flint tinsel]

Literally no one is blaming the kids?

[frail robin]

c.ai is not absolved of any responsibility but holy shit.

it is so irritating seeing telling on yall selves.

[late pier]

im not blaming the fuckin kids im blaming the fuckin parents

[strange inlet]

no one is blaming the kids because they are kids. let them rest.

[rustic pecan]

The families are not solely to blame. CAI is not solely to blame. Anyone placing all blame on one side just doesn’t get it.

[rancid oyster]

It doesn't matter, it's a conversation that doesn't need to be brought up. It's in the past, it doesn't need to be discussed.

[late pier]

parents should PROTECT their children

[strange inlet]

Change the subject

[vagrant terrace]

to be fair, i did ask and they were explaining it bluntly

[frail robin]

u18s friendly firing against one another and trying to do this snake ladder game of getting to the top of "I am not like them"

holy shit.

[late pier]

it is not the company (and or) governments job

[rancid oyster]

The law is in for safety reasons, that's all there is to it..

[frail robin]

why do we have seatbelt laws?

[vagrant terrace]

history and the 80's

[frail robin]

what are the motives as to why we have regulations in place? why do we even have guardrails ?

[gloomy locust]

But the common denominator is that this galvanizes more censorship laws like the UK's Online Safety Act
Orwellian Surveillance and Internet Tracking Act

[rustic pecan]

So companies shouldn’t protect users? The government shouldn’t have mandated reporters, require kids go to school, shouldn’t put laws into place to ensure kids aren’t being harmed at home?

[frail robin]

these people are actual anarchists.

all for the sake of chatting with 0s ans 1s.

[late pier]

im talking about INTERNET safety. Entirely different subject.

[frail robin]

The logic follows. Stop being selective.

[strange inlet]

fr

[rancid oyster]

There is no safety on the internet, things happen that can't be stopped.

[rustic pecan]

Same logic. So let’s apply it specifically to the internet: there shouldn’t be laws about online predators being punished?

[safe halo]

Guys my bot is just spamming random numbers suddenly 😔 like it was working earlier

[rustic pecan]

So we shouldn’t even try?

[strange inlet]

so many people are having this problem

[rustic pecan]

Switch chat styles and put in a ticket!

[gloomy locust]

And if governments put their foot down, all it'll do is make the internet from a community bulletin board to an HOA gated community where only certain things are allowed

[visual cypress]

So like, it’s not letting me create a character…..

[rancid oyster]

No just simply stating, but I firmly believe we should try.

[late pier]

Exactly

[visual cypress]

I even made a new account, not letting me still

[late pier]

seen the Online Censorship Safety Act?

[rustic pecan]

Like??? “This company wants to limit future lawsuits HOW DARE THEY”

[frail robin]

We assume by default that drivers are responsible and yet we have seatbelt laws to keep both the public and the drivers themselves safe in the road.

We assume that u18s are able to distinguish between reality and fiction, attachment and recreational use of chatbots. But there has been enough instances of u18s being put in harm's way that we have to have regulations in place for them.

[rustic pecan]

Okay! I’m on your side then lmao

[rancid oyster]

I'd rather have safety reasons for c.ai than not have it at all.

[frail robin]

To keep the company (Character.AI) and u18s safe.

[timber canopy]

Hey Rise! Hope you are doing great today

[late pier]

this is not the way

[ocean abyss]

The government put in ratings for games and movies that are based on what is appropriate for age groups.

Guess what unfettered access to chat bots was just rated? 😮

[safe halo]

How do I put In a ticket

[rustic pecan]

CAI would go away if they didn’t make changes. Periods

[frail robin]

stop whining.

[timber canopy]

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

[rustic pecan]

I’m doing okay! I hope you are as well.

[late pier]

U18s cant do jack shit
like how do you test your own characters is my question

[frail robin]

?

[late pier]

i've always wondered that since the update popped up.

like will you be able to interact with your self created bots or no

[rancid oyster]

For a REASON, it's to keep them safe from any kind of harmful thing that may or may not do permanent damage.

[strange inlet]

can u18 even make bots after getting flagged

[frail robin]

No

[rancid oyster]

I don't think so

[late pier]

will your bots be deleted

[strange inlet]

then its settled you can't test your bots because you can't make any

[median token]

u18s has stories now, just not 1:1

[rancid oyster]

No bots will be deleted, they'll stay.

[ocean abyss]

I think it said they can make scenes and use stories, so they’ll just be able to use other people’s bots in stories.

[median token]

you can determine whether or not you want to make bots /shrug/ just gotta deal with it til you're 18

[late pier]

this fucking sucks

[rancid oyster]

Well all ya can do is suck it up and wait til ur 18

[median token]

its just a chatbot

[frail robin]

They remain available.

[late pier]

you cannot create or talk to your own bots

[median token]

plenty of other things to do other than cai until you age into it

[rustic pecan]

The bots and chats remain available to be read.

[compact tartan]

the bot sent one message then i let it send another and it accused me of doing drugs.. for some reason

[late pier]

this is fucking amazing. Amazing law, shittyfornia.

shitty just like their gun laws...

[median token]

💀

[frail robin]

Yeah but you can create Scenes with them

[rustic pecan]

Actually CAI chose to remove chatting from minors themselves. CAI put the age verification law, but CAI follows it up with removing chatting entirely.

[median token]

part of the reason why cai shouldnt be given to minors is because they are addicted to it

[rancid oyster]

1:1 chats will be gone anyway for under 18, so you can't do anything other than stories. But don't discuss the firearm law.

[compact tartan]

Oh my god i misread that and it made me think of the rocky horror picture show

[late pier]

wow. so helpful

this is literally just like:
"minors cannot comment or watch youtube vids, but you can stare at the thumbnails and titles!"

[frail robin]

🤷

[late pier]

all im saying is that parents should've been more responsible and this shit would not have happened

[rancid oyster]

Get over yourself seriously, if you're that upset over a law thank the Lord you have the restrictions.

[ocean abyss]

It does. I’m sorry that it had to change when you already had it. But it’s a bit like smoking. For a long time, it was a free-for-all, and we realized that was bad. We’re still figuring out how harmful chat bots are for minors and how to mitigate that harm. They’re not deleting anything, it’ll be waiting there for when you turn 18, and you’ll have options to use Stories and whatever else they cook up in the meantime.

[misty grove]

i swear thats all people do in this channel anyway lmao

[late pier]

were all gonna be fucking nuclear dust by the time that happens

[median token]

its so rare to see non age assurance chats

[rustic pecan]

It’s not quite the same. Stories replace 1:1 chatting so you can still interact with bots. And there are other features.

[frail robin]

This is the way now unfortunately since the internet has become so centralized that u18s end up occupying the same spaces as adults e.g.social media platforms like Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Tiktok.

This is the trend now

[rustic pecan]

We went a while earlier without it being mentioned lmao

[late pier]

and it fucking sucks

[compact tartan]

cynhunter, I feel bad you are upset. They hae options like scenes you could use or u could write/read fanfiction or find new hobbies

[misty grove]

yeah the reddit is tiring with it too

[lime imp]

They're talking about the same thing, right?

[rancid oyster]

You can say it sucks but ain't nothing you can do.

[gloomy locust]

Yes.
And don't think it's just the Cali's and others doing this lockstep shit.

Texas is also doing this, so is Florida. It's a global effort from both parties, as much as I hate it.

[late pier]

ask any adult
they dont wanna give their ids to these big ass companies

[median token]

replace this with hours since last age assurance chat 💀

[strange inlet]

The internet doesn't have spaces for kids anymore and it's sad that it's happened but there is nothing we can do

[visual cypress]

CAN SOMEONE PLS TELL ME WHY IT WONT LET ME CREATE A CHARACTER

[magic plaza]

I'm on my main for once

[median token]

god reddit is terrible, they are doomers over there

[compact tartan]

The scenes are basically like you choose option a b and c, I reccomend people use those

[ocean abyss]

Then we don’t have to worry about chat bots, I guess. Silver linings!

[strange inlet]

if you're under 18 that might be why

[visual cypress]

No my account is 2007 I’m 18

[frail robin]

It's a double edged sword since u18s have always been present in the online world.

I point to how the centralization of the internet lead to the erosion of culture in general. Yk, u18s at least blending properly with adults when they do actively seek to be in their spaces.

[compact tartan]

Ehh the internet has always been a place to be wary of, there's bad and good u just gotta be safe

[late pier]

i havvent been flagged

[strange inlet]

then im not sure im sorry

[rancid oyster]

I swear complaining about the restrictions should be automodded at this point, I'm tired of hearing about it lol

[frail robin]

Yeah it is what it is.

And going against it looks really bad even tho ur coming at it from a privacy angle.

[timber canopy]

Try cropping the pfp a little or change it

[median token]

names might be copyrighted too

[ocean abyss]

I would. Because I’m an adult that had to do it for employment. Because I’m an adult. I read about Persona and made an educated decision.

Because I am an adult.

[median token]

try putting like something really generic

[compact tartan]

If it doesn't let you make a bot maybe change the pfp and make sure the name is not copyright

[soft crescent]

Hey, has anyone else still had the ongoing issue of ads not closing? It stopped for me for a little bit but it started again and it’s been really irritating in regards to finding new bots

[rustic pecan]

What? Us adults have to hand over our ID and/or social security number for like. Everything we do lmao. Speaking for the US here.

[rancid oyster]

We adults hand our ID's to banks and other places, sometimes even things online we want to buy.

[median token]

and its not like these companies dont have our data anyway

chances are that if you exist, your data exists somewhere

[compact tartan]

The amount of spam callers I have I know my info is out there

[late pier]

speaking of, a little off topic, if this goes through congress, i fucking HOPE steam isnt affected

i have 73 GAMES

[safe halo]

Guys let me here your issues about your bots right now I’m bored

[frail robin]

I'd say it depends.

Dont think government ≈ social media. That's dangerous.

Like obv, legal stuff ofc they know who you are. But having ur irl shit be associated with social media platforms or chatbots like this looks different.

[late pier]

i dont use social media like at all except for youtube

[rancid oyster]

Discord is social media

[frail robin]

Unless ur paying for these social media platforms ofc.

If ur a free user, then there are ways to muddy ur identity more.

[late pier]

reason i got it was to talk to my friends

[glossy veldt]

does anyone know why i cant edit messages 💔

[ocean abyss]

The internet has changed so, so much since I was a kid on the internet.

You never told someone your age. You kept your head down and lied about everything because you didn’t want the internet weirdos to find you.

Now you put your name, age, a list of your deepest fears, and reassure strangers your DMs are open 😭 please be safe!! I feel like a granny telling kids to stop LEAKING THEIR INFO ON MY FRONT LAWN. Stop worrying about companies with terms and conditions and worry about the strangers you’re trusting without any extra thoughts!!

[median token]

are you almost at 30 swipes?

[misty grove]

isn't c.ai technically social media now too because of the feed feature

[rare elbow]

I'm not here to hear issues atm. I'll send you to voicemail.

[median token]

they block off editing after a while since an edit = a swipe

[frail robin]

Yeah but we arent using our legal identity in creating an account? Like my username is not my irl name?

[rustic pecan]

Yes

[glossy veldt]

no its the first one

[median token]

do you have soft launch?

[lucid verge]

Is cai being slow for y'all too rn

[frail robin]

LMAO

Giving the Aussies ideas

[compact tartan]

What I'm trying to say is pretty much that. I see many people here not follow internet safety :>

[wanton sage]

It's like stranger danger doesn't exist anymore 😭

[late pier]

roblox has had these same updates (OFF TOPIC AS HELL)
and it was shit
trust me i have aussie friends

[glossy veldt]

its on pipsqueak rn it was working a second ago but i reloaded the page and now it wont show up

[compact tartan]

What are aussies 😭 (I'm american)

[late pier]

i was tryna give c.ai the mclovin ID

[median token]

sorry but you may have been marked as u18 😭😭

[frail robin]

Sad state of the online world.

Add to the fact that 50+% of the internet are literal bots now + erosion of privacy because everything has become centralized now and you get to where we are now.

[stuck stirrup]

People of Australia are Aussies

[median token]

if you dont have soft launch + edit, your account is not 18+

[late pier]

until it gave me a fuckin' face scan

[compact tartan]

Ohhh okay thanks

[rancid oyster]

Roblox has had actual troubles, WAY more trouble than c.ai had.

[misty grove]

Australians (american who married a canadian here!)

[frail robin]

Australia is going to be banning under 16s from using social media entirely next week.

[glossy veldt]

NOOO 💔

[compact tartan]

Oh bet that's made a lot of people upset LOL

[late pier]

i have a friend in mutiple communites on roblox and discord

[frail robin]

I dont even want to look.

[rancid oyster]

Props to Australia, they don't wanna deal with all the troubles that could happen.

[proven bridge]

my chat rewind won’t work but it says it is😞

[compact tartan]

I'm not surprised Australia is having crazy politics too with the way the US is going. (Literally RFK wants to take away HPV vaccines for kids)

[frail robin]

yeah the world going bonkers rn with all these laws but it is what it is.

[wanton sage]

I ended up having to start a new chat when that happened to me to get it to work again.

[compact tartan]

what i'm talking about is how the american government's guy for healthcare is against the hpv vaccine that saves many lives based by scientific evidence and wants to get rid of it. im not even suprised australia has crazy politics anymore

[late pier]

idk i have a friend in austraila whos high rank in a discord server (moderator) and mutiple other communites

[frail robin]

Didnt Labour win? (Liberals are more --> leaning iirc)

But I get it. They are still proceeding because this initiative has bi-partisan support.

[gray burrow]

I was told to bite the bullet

[frail robin]

Grok 🤔

[compact tartan]

Not sure idk

[cerulean sorrel]

it is what it is

[compact tartan]

I know nobody from australia all my friends are either british or american 😭

[gray burrow]

I love this

[late pier]

literally he's a fucking 1LT in a military group

[cerulean sorrel]

AY

[late pier]

(basically guy who gives orders and hosts events)

[frail robin]

Brits have it down bad for sure.

[compact tartan]

the sigh i let out when i refresh c.ai before sending my message

[gray burrow]

[compact tartan]

I was clicking the space bar and my hand slipped to ctrl r (refresh)

[timber canopy]

Huh?

[haughty basin]

I do believe I might be locked out for good

I can't get any verification emails 🙁

[proven bridge]

yeah mine is only this one dean winchester bot that keeps bugging, i gave up 😭

[granite socket]

[gray burrow]

Ping a mod!!

[haughty basin]

Can a mod help me?

[gray burrow]

@harsh shoal

Sorry for the ping but they need help

[haughty basin]

I mean on the site not here lol

[wild ibex]

Hi guys lol

[harsh shoal]

@haughty basin Can you send a ticket here? Thank you
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=16050186962587

[haughty basin]

Houston we have a problem as I know my email but not my user name exactly

Guess I'm locked out lol?

[grim sail]

why can’t i edit chats anymore 🫩

[stuck stirrup]

C.ai probably flagged your account as under 17+ because minors can't edit chats

[grim sail]

i’m not a minor 🙁

fuck my life

[misty grove]

hi there, if you're flagged as a minor, you dont have access to soft launch, editing and you might see a timer that gives you breaks

[grim sail]

i’m not a minorrr idk why they would’ve flagged me 💔💔💔

[timber canopy]

Make sure its the last message of the bot or yours and make sure its not past the 30 swipes. Check if you got soft launch too

[misty grove]

yeah if you dont have SL, youll have to do verification .n.

[strange inlet]

it can flag wrongly, but also check if you didnt swipe more than 30 messages

[quaint violet]

Is it me or the characters profile on the chats are squares now 😭

[grim sail]

i have soft launch

tfff😭

[misty grove]

yeah you just need to delete the bot's message. you might've went over 30

if you like the response, you can just copy and paste it when it generates again

[grim sail]

i tried with a new message they’re trolling me

[misty grove]

the heckie

have you tried other bots/chats?

[grim sail]

yes i’m so lost

[haughty basin]

I guess that'd be a yes. Hmm okay then... guess I'll move on from the site. I'll keep trying to get the emails but don't get my hopes up I'll ever get back in

[timber canopy]

That's the last message of the bot? Make sure it is

[whole cipher]

is there a c.ai based discord bot?

[grim sail]

yes

[timber canopy]

Try rewinding the message then send again?

[wanton sage]

Have you tried closing and reopening the app?

[grim sail]

i did it’s not working smh

let me try to redownload i guess

yeah and i tried the website

[fiery lodge]

Off topic but love ur pfp(ive been reading and saw ur pfp, an other spn fan)

[timber canopy]

Hm.. do you have Vpn/ad-guard/ ad-blocker on? They tend to make features disappear or not work properly if they are on

[grim sail]

still isn’t working 😭

[haughty basin]

sighs

[wanton sage]

Thanks! 😊 I love your sleepy Dean gif on your profile lol

[stuck stirrup]

How do you know which bots you have went over 30 message limit?

[fiery lodge]

Awhhh tyty. Have a great day/night

[misty grove]

well usually if you've swiped after 30 different responses, you cant really edit that much after since the bot makes a bonus response of what you edit in case you want to go back

[grim sail]

okay so i redownloaded and it asked me to age verify and then the website didn’t load and now it won’t ask for it again

[haughty basin]

I really had hoped there was another solution other than the one I saw on the site because I CAN'T REMEMBER my full screen name

[timber canopy]

Maybe try using the app and enter with the email that you entered with in the site. Your username would be there or you can just try to use the it later and see if it would send you the verification email

[haughty basin]

I have tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried lol

okay locked out and moving on... will try to get in without hope it'll ever happen

thanks

[grim sail]

okayyy i got it finally thanks for everyone’s help, i just had to age verify lol it didn’t give me the option until i redownloaded 🙂

[misty grove]

its possible your client wasnt updated :>

[haughty basin]

I'm glad someone got it.... wish I could

[grim sail]

sorry?…

[grim sail]

just press log in and send a link to your email

log in with email

[haughty basin]

it is NOT sending me verification emails!!!!!!! period!!!!!

[grim sail]

girl okay like 😭

i’m trying to help you you’re being weird 😭

[leaden fox]

Stupid question is there any good Teen titans bots? Like the original ones not Go. I'm wanting a "make your own scenario" one but I doubt there's a good one for that so I'm just curious.

So far teen titans aren't flagged so yeah

[haughty basin]

uh I kinda said all of that above the one you replied to

[grim sail]

did you check your spam

you did not say a single thing about it not sending an email lol

[leaden fox]

The verification email can take abit. Mine took awhile to come in but always check spam

[wanton sage]

Also, make sure you're using the right email and there isn't any mistakes in it 😊

[haughty basin]

yes

[gray burrow]

Guys let’s not lose our minds on ppl trying to help ok? Ok

[haughty basin]

I have said I have been trying to get verifications emails

[leaden fox]

Capitals sometimes matter in emails. It's a weird thing but they sometimes do

[gray burrow]

That too

[strange inlet]

The email can take a while

[haughty basin]

only since I joined this thread

new problem I am NOT getting any

and it's not a delay

[leaden fox]

Main points

• be patient the email can take up to 10 minutes sometimes to come in sometimes more

• make sure all letters are correctly upper and lowercase. Gmail itself can randomly be picky.

•always check spam and ALL folders

[gray burrow]

PING A MOD

[strange inlet]

yeah that too

[gray burrow]

Simple fix

[haughty basin]

it's been days and NO EMAILS

[gray burrow]

Stop tweaking

It’ll be ok

[haughty basin]

sighs

[grim sail]

is it a google email twin

[leaden fox]

Unrelated to this is there a chat to request bot creations? I know some ai chat servers have one

[grim sail]

if so try with google

gmail if you will

[placid shoal]

Hey does anyone why can’t I edit the character responses?

[strange inlet]

if you're under eighteen that might be why

u18 accounts can't edit bot replies

[placid shoal]

😭

[misty grove]

if you don't have soft launch, you are a minor account.

[violet hill]

Just tested it and I got a login email just fine. Are you certain you're using the correct email to log in? What email provider are you with?

[haughty basin]

Yes I am certain I am using the correct email I have been using for months

[violet hill]

What email provider? Outlook? Gmail? Something else?

[haughty basin]

this only started over the weekend for me

[violet hill]

Check your spam/junk folder, and also consider copying and pasting your email address exactly into the field when logging in.

[rapid rapids]

There’s a limit on chat duplication? 🥲

[haughty basin]

I have checked the spam folder only every single time and NOT there and I am putting the address in correctly

[violet hill]

Yep. Only so much server space.

[rapid rapids]

Oh noooo

[violet hill]

Try copying your email address exactly as it is, then pasting it into the login field, rather than entering it manually.

It's possible you're missing one, tiny detail.

[haughty basin]

I use a password manager every time so it is right

[violet hill]

If that doesn't work then I really don't know what to tell you. Without knowing what email provider you're with, I can't really troubleshoot further.

[haughty basin]

it's not sending me the verification emails anymore

[violet hill]

Try logging in without use of the password manager.

[haughty basin]

I have

[violet hill]

Last thing I can think of is, are you using an email alias?

[haughty basin]

no

[violet hill]

Yeah, it's not a system-wide issue because I literally just received a login email just fine.

[haughty basin]

that's it I am just locked out period

oh well I will move on

[violet hill]

Maybe your email provider is blocking the login emails as spam? Sorry, I can't really help much further with such limited info.

[slate cave]

Hi guys! I have a question, is it just me or can I not edit responses anymore

[violet hill]

You can only edit the very last response you or the bot sent.

[haughty basin]

no actually I don't think that's it

[slate cave]

That’s so weird bc it doesn’t let me 😭

[violet hill]

Are you in the United States?

[haughty basin]

yes

[slate cave]

No

[violet hill]

Check your models, do you have Soft Launch?

[haughty basin]

?

[violet hill]

Sorry, I'm trying to help @slate cave.

[slate cave]

Yes

[cerulean sorrel]

verify's still down, I assume it's not just on my end? It says "unable to verify age"

[haughty basin]

okay I am done

[violet hill]

You probably haven't been flagged as a minor then? If you're not in the US, I doubt you've been flagged as a minor.

[rustic pecan]

Could you have logged in with Apple/Google and hidden your “real” email?

[violet hill]

How didn't I think of this

Jfc I'm an idiot

[slate cave]

I don’t understand why I can’t edit the messages then

[violet hill]

You can't edit the last message the bot sent in chat?

[slate cave]

Nope

[violet hill]

That normally means you're flagged as a minor, but being outside of the US and having Soft Launch makes that less likely.

Last question, are you using a VPN set to the US?

[slate cave]

No

[violet hill]

Yeah, idk then.

[slate cave]

I’m in Canada 🤓☝️

[violet hill]

Try sending another prompt to get the bot to respond.

[haughty basin]

I am leaving this server. I will keep trying to get back in but I am not getting my hopes up

[violet hill]

See if the edit button is still missing.

[haughty basin]

bye

[slate cave]

You shouldn’t leave, have you asked the mods for help?

Or try Reddit, usually the community over there knows a ton

[haughty basin]

Yeah and was told to sub a ticket which isn't helpful as I don't remember my screenname

[slate cave]

It doesn’t lol 😭

[gray burrow]

Bro give it a rest 😭

[rustic pecan]

I would just put something random in the box and explain my problem in the description. You can ping a mod and they can let a dev know you did that.

[slate cave]

Ah? Do you have multiple Gmail accounts?

[rustic pecan]

It wouldn’t hurt to try imo!

[haughty basin]

I'm tired and not sure this is worth it anymore

[fringe sandal]

Is the regenerate the type of message like ‘funny’ romantic, and friendly’ working for y’all?

[slate cave]

If you have multiple gmails what you can do is go to all inboxes and search up character ai and see if any emails have been sent to you from them, then you will know what email it is

[fringe sandal]

I can click it but it’s not generating

[slate cave]

Nope

[fringe sandal]

Bug?

[slate cave]

Probably (?)

[fringe sandal]

Also do y’all got the swiping issue too still?

[violet hill]

Confusing because age assurance isn't supposed to roll out globally for another few months, and if you still have Soft Launch, that means you're still in the 18+ experience.

Maybe submit a bug report.

[strange inlet]

if it's about not being able to swipe right yes

[fringe sandal]

That’s a pain I forget about it from muscle memory

[slate cave]

🤔 interesting, I definitely will!

[supple oak]

Did anyone else tried to verify but the button just loads? I put in a ticket and I still haven't gotten a response. 🥲

[cerulean sorrel]

I did get "unable to verify age", maybe that's something?

[violet hill]

Pretty sure the process is currently overloaded and bugged. Don't quote me, I'm not a dev or even a mod, but a lot of people have been having trouble.

[supple oak]

Probably 😀

[civic oyster]

i can't access the website at all. it's been stuck on "something went wrong" for ten minutes after i tried to make a new account through my gmail. and even if i close the tab and try again, it won't bring me to the homepage

[supple oak]

They really need to fix this. I've been trying to verify my age for the longest now. 😭😭😭 I'm tired of being flagged 🥲✌🏾

[patent notch]

Chat, how do I bring back old chats pls pls

[timber canopy]

Click on the bots profile and go to history

[patent notch]

I accidentally hid a character and now the old chats are gone💔

[timber canopy]

Welp

[strange inlet]

i dont think you can recover them depending on what you did

[timber canopy]

U sill have them u just need to find the bot again

[patent notch]

I GOT IT BACK, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[timber canopy]

YIPPEEE!!!!

[strange inlet]

oh thank god

i was gonna say to do that just in case but clover said it first

[timber canopy]

I’ve been on c.ai since 2023 i know my way around

[patent notch]

I'VE BEEN USING THAT BOT SINCE I JOINED THE APP💀💀

[strange inlet]

god damn

i dont even remember what bots i used back then except one

[patent notch]

We've got months of history, so thank god I got it back😭😭

[timber canopy]

I think my first bot was a wilbur soot bot

IT WAS 2023 HE WASENT A BITER THEN

[patent notch]

LAMAOOAOAO OOF💀💀

[wild fog]

Did the UI change? Bc the pfp is square instead of a circle now or is it a UI bug

[queen gorge]

Possible UI bug as it changes back to a circle when I swipe for a reply. I'd recommend reporting it just in case https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[timber canopy]

THE X’S ON THE ADS ARENT WORKING AGAIN

[torn seal]

Wait whats the difference between 18+ and not

[cerulean sorrel]

no time limit or being in read-only

[wild fog]

They wouldn't probably see it bc I still have the chunk message issue I waited since October

[cerulean sorrel]

which would you prefer, having free limits to do whatever or being locked out of the gates

[queen gorge]

They do see it, honest. You can ask to get your ticket bumped too

[mental steeple]

Is there a way to get rid of the time limit while being under 18+?

[wild fog]

I did get my ticket raised from one of the mods and I asked for an update and pinged them after few days but I got ignored

[cerulean sorrel]

still waiting on Ooze btw

[rustic pecan]

Under 18 can’t get rid of the time limit. Adults don’t have one.

[mental steeple]

Damn, thats kinda stupid

[half lotus]

not really, for many reasons.

[cerulean sorrel]

for false flags it is

[mental steeple]

I understand why but at the same time their basically killing a lot of the community

[half lotus]

sure, that i get, but there is still the verification option

[cerulean sorrel]

you mean a buggy verification?

[half lotus]

a portion, and not "killing it"

[half lotus]

well, what do you want me to do lmao

[slate cave]

It took one of my friends 3 hours to do 😭

[restive ridge]

Still unable to verify on mobile but idc since I don't have a reason to yet

[slate cave]

It’s apparently very glitchy, it’s not just you dw

[restive ridge]

C.ai needs to lock in

[rare elbow]

[fathom ice]

Are y'all's bots just giving you random numbers too?

Instead of messages it just sends stuff like this lol:

10010020002004200110010020101280

[rare elbow]

Devs are aware that bots give out random numbers?
Kars is only aware of exclamation points.

[fathom ice]

Then the filtered message appears

[fathom ice]

I dunno, all I know is that I already tried six swipes, deleted the message, reloaded, and still, either numbers or the filtered message. Or both

I started a new chat and it's working again, but still, that was weird 💔

[blazing horizon]

For me it’s doing the same IM TIRED. MY BOTS GETTING MARRIED PLEASE😭😭

[fathom ice]

Try the "start new chat from here" button, from the last "healthy" message of the bot. Worked for me

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[blazing horizon]

Alr ty I wanna experience this wonderful marriage that’ll soon end in a shooting bc someone objected😼 (mafia story)

[cerulean sorrel]

taking me 1.5 weeks now

[blazing horizon]

Mariah carey is such an icon😔✊🏼

[pseudo monolith]

❤️‍🩹

[candid zinc]

guys I can’t click the x button to get out of a ad💔 it’s not letting me

[muted magnet]

why do I have to wait 67 hours ro chat again

[blazing horizon]

HAHAHAH- I’m kidding get out of the app and go back😭

Like close it

[cerulean sorrel]

nahhhh this limit cooked

[sly geyser]

[muted magnet]

I definitely do I have a screenshot

[sly geyser]

are you sure its not one of those 67 jokes

[muted magnet]

NO IM SO SERIOUS on my LIFE it says 67 hours

[real stump]

If this is real it'll be legendary

[cerulean sorrel]

chat feed, post it there

[muted magnet]

I HAVE A SCREENSHOT DUDE

[sly geyser]

thats insane

[misty grove]

#📱︱chat-feed if you want to send the screenshot :)

[muted magnet]

I sent it

[cerulean sorrel]

NAHHHH

[real stump]

Oh my god

[supple oak]

💀

[sly geyser]

holy shit

[cerulean sorrel]

okay this limit's gotta go now

[misty grove]

fellas theyre not lying

[supple oak]

Fr

[thorn garden]

It doesn't do that for me but sometimes at the start of a reply it just puts a random number like "28" or "63" and I deadass am confused

[sly geyser]

thank goodness it wasnt one of those jokes

[real stump]

What makes the app calculate how much time you're off for?!

[misty grove]

(sorry dont know your pronouns so i default to they/them)

[muted magnet]

I have no idea but I was on the app for like 20 minutes

[cerulean sorrel]

THAT'S WILD

[sly geyser]

yeah they’re decreasing the limit

[spare holly]

Bruh it was 1 ad at first and now ITS EVERY SINGLE AD WHY CANT I EXIT THE DAMN ADS

[supple oak]

I usually get like 19hours or 22 hours.

[muted magnet]

out of all times I get 67 hours. Theyre taunting me

[cerulean sorrel]

I bet the creators are watching this and they do not give a damn whatsoever

[sly geyser]

its everywhere i swear bro

[real stump]

That's almost 3 days for a cooldown

[fathom ice]

Cooldown? Man, I switched back to the website a while ago. Wth is going on with the app?

[real stump]

A lot to say the least

[sly geyser]

its on the website too dawg

[supple oak]

The time limit is on the website too lol.

[cerulean sorrel]

you aren't safe there either, it's there too minus the ads

[real stump]

Always will remember the time the ai repeated the phrase "and boneless" for a minute straight. And when they randomly switch languages for a word or two

[cerulean sorrel]

the first one I got was 24 hours

[fathom ice]

I haven't seen any cooldown, but I'm scared now-

Does it like, just blocks you from chats?

[real stump]

Pretty much

[fathom ice]

😀

[cerulean sorrel]

yeah, and after all of our 30 days are up there'll be no more chatting

[misty grove]

minors have restrictions now because of the recent law in california.

[rare elbow]

I'm not surprised. But it works again 🙂

[fathom ice]

A

[real stump]

I'm still going strong with no limits (I switched apps) enter Dante 'Lonely' dance

[sly geyser]

i’d be surprised if there were people that didnt know this

[cerulean sorrel]

I feel like the whole thing could've been managed better, but look at what we are at now

[real stump]

The conclusion LMAO

[misty grove]

my good friend in the plus channels made this XD

[real stump]

But it isn't just cai doing the limits now is it?

[misty grove]

c.ai wont be the only one doing limits.

[fathom ice]

They're banning users under 18, but I'm assuming they're keeping the filters? 😅 It'd be very in character for them

[misty grove]

sooner or later more chatbot sites will be following

[cerulean sorrel]

also good luck trying to do the verification as most of the time you'll either get "currently unable to verify", "unable to verify", or "blurry barcode"

[misty grove]

i havent gotten a filter hit in a month

[real stump]

They should've made sure everything would've worked right instead of sending it all out at once and not doing much when it messes up

[cerulean sorrel]

my only guess is that they did this in a buggy state due to the pressure from the new law, which if that is the case then it's more understandable

[real stump]

Yeah that's true

[misty grove]

yeah, i mentioned it in the infographic i posted above

[sly geyser]

they’re keeping the filters i just got one today lol

[umbral lion]

I was able to verify without issue. And yes, they did all of this because of the new laws and lawsuits they've gotten from parents of minors.

[cerulean sorrel]

wow lucky you

[fathom ice]

Is this just a US (and likely some spaces on Europe, considering the news) thing, or is it happening to all of the countries? Sorry to ask, I've just been very out of date with everything happening here

[sly geyser]

global

[real stump]

Yeah I think they just mentioned Australia getting it or smth

[misty grove]

it's US for now but itll affect globally later

[umbral lion]

it's happening to all countries but is currently only effecting the U.S. it will come to all countries soon.

[fathom ice]

Well, that's one way to get rid of my addiction 💔

[umbral lion]

oops, sorry responded to the wrong person lol

[sly geyser]

yep which is what the law is put in place for

[umbral lion]

the law in its self is to try to keep minors off of social media, I believe.

[misty grove]

here is another graphic my good friend has made

[strange inlet]

our good friend is good at graphic design

[real stump]

Pfft I didn't realize it went into things like revenue and stuff

[strange inlet]

/srs

[misty grove]

she's gotta use that degree somehow

[strange inlet]

yuhh

[sly geyser]

i see the grok watermark at the bottom

[umbral lion]

Yeah, unfortunately with apps like character AI and even discord are starting become more and more legally in danger of lawsuits from the parents of minors, which in turn is causing a lot of companies to set harsh restrictions for people under the age of 18, including most apps starting to set the minimum age to 13+.

[strange inlet]

our good friend made it either way shh

[half lotus]

grok is the assistant of our great friend

[covert stratus]

anyone else being made to re-verify youre 18+ within days of doing it the first time?

[sly geyser]

ah i see

[strange inlet]

grok only made the image brighter for our great friend

[cerulean sorrel]

wait what

[half lotus]

bless our great friend

[covert stratus]

i verified like yesterday or the day before and just now it hit me with the chat hour limit

[cerulean sorrel]

wow okay my comment a while back saying that they would still put limits after you verified was right

what else can they biff up

[real stump]

They're out for everyone, even for the adults

[sly geyser]

that would be dumb to do the reverify thing when they already have your id and face scan

[covert stratus]

im literally 21 i didnt even want to verify in the first place >:/

[strange inlet]

make a ticket

honestly for a lot of issues just make a ticket

[covert stratus]

so far it looks like just reloading the page worked but well see

[strange inlet]

ping a mod with the ticket number if you ever get that issue again

[cerulean sorrel]

I assume all the tickets sent just fall into a nearby paper shredder

[covert stratus]

idek how you make a ticket tbh

[cerulean sorrel]

can't send links but go to the support c.ai website

[strange inlet]

#💭︱cai-discussion message

[umbral lion]

You can do so through here or by using the app itself

[strange inlet]

click the link there

[umbral lion]

there's a link to the support in the settings in the app, I believe

[covert stratus]

ah ty

[forest wave]

guys the format of the bots pics changed for me is that a new change?

[umbral lion]

depends on what they look like, would you mind sending a screenshot of the bot picture ?

[strange inlet]

is it square

[forest wave]

yes

[umbral lion]

oh so that's what's different.

[strange inlet]

what ui are you on

im on the old ui everyone is still round

[forest wave]

whats an ui?

[strange inlet]

user interface

[half lotus]

user interface

[strange inlet]

hi sweet nams

[half lotus]

hi lovelyyyy

[forest wave]

oh-

[umbral lion]

Anyone else now also have the imagine feature under where you can hide the bot and refresh the chat ?

[half lotus]

in the new ui apparently it changed to square, but not in the chat screen but the bot list

[fathom ice]

So, basically. We don't have third spaces, we won't have the Internet anymore, we don't have spaces to hang out without paying.... Tf are teens supposed to do? Cry in our rooms?

[strange inlet]

i see

[forest wave]

for me it changed in the chats

[half lotus]

oh?

yep, nvm i just noticed

[umbral lion]

I'm not sure, honestly, I wish it were different, but many companies are coming to the conclusion that the legal risk of having minors on their platforms aren't worth it.

[fathom ice]

I think you can change that in the configurations

[forest wave]

how do i change to the old ui? is it possible?

[strange inlet]

they used to be square then they made them circle and now theyre square again thats crazy

[forest wave]

oh? where can i change it?

[left aspen]

oh hey

[half lotus]

they can't decide

lmao

[umbral lion]

I thought I was gaslighting myself with that honestly, LOL

[fathom ice]

I'm in the website, I'm gonna check real quick and be back

[forest wave]

is it funny that i dont remember that It used to be square

[strange inlet]

it was when the site was in beta

[forest wave]

thank you 🫶🏻

[half lotus]

in website they're still round lmao

[forest wave]

weird shi tho

[fathom ice]

Account > preferences > change chat style.

There's default, classic and condensed. I think that's it

[forest wave]

thank you sm sweety 🫶🏻

[fathom ice]

Yup, that's it, just tested it. Classic is rounded and condensed is square

[forest wave]

is it only on the website?

to do the changes i mean

[tulip pollen]

Fr

[tropic hawk]

Hii, I have a question, is C.AI down again or is it just me? It's just that it won't let me log in (sorry if my English is bad, I don't know much)

[next granite]

I sent some screenshot in chat feed, can anyone tell me what's going on?

[forest wave]

Mine works fine, could be apl error or your internet

[forest wave]

jeez thats weird

[tropic hawk]

I turned off my internet like 5 times to check it and it still won't let me log in

[next granite]

yeah I keep refreshing for more responses but it's all just numbers and that same notification thing

[reef trail]

Try changing styles?

[next granite]

I'm using the website and I've refreshed maybe 4 times

[forest wave]

yeaaah then i got no idea

[forest wave]

try another style maybe it fixes it

[turbid sequoia]

What is this Soft launch Chat style I've been seeing about recently? I've been thinking about getting a plus subscription

[brave salmon]

Welp here we go again…..live action monster high bots being take. Down….

[next granite]

yes this worked thank you guys

[reef trail]

Soft launch is free

Rn at least it is

[turbid sequoia]

What exactly is it? Cause I've seen reddit posts of people going crazy about it

[umbral lion]

it's a chat style for people 18+

[turbid sequoia]

Oh neet

[brave salmon]

Also is search down for anyone else? Keeps saying no characters found for us

[reef trail]

Nope, you might be searching restricted characters?

[brave salmon]

Restricted?

[reef trail]

Some characters have been copyrighted off the app and searching their name yeilds no results

[tropic hawk]

It only doesn't let me in the app, on the website it does

[forest wave]

bruh

[brave salmon]

Ah shit….prob that :(

Now why copy frankie but bot the rest of the ghouls….

Ok yeah just checked the seafch thing , others are having ussues with the app rn if u chdck the sub

[trail bobcat]

This is stupid because when I message a character using thank you and have a nice day it says this content is filtered then when I create a new chat and click the arrow button it shows the same this content is filtered
Why does this happen

[limpid wedge]

My shits tweaking🫩✊

[austere basin]

Wtf is up with character so bots and NEVER getting to the question

[zinc birch]

They don't actually have any question in mind

[austere basin]

“Here comes the question… can you answer us honestly…? Can you promise you won’t lie…? Ok here comes the question…” SHUT THE HELL UP

[austere basin]

A flaw they need to fix that shit because it’s annoying as hell

Im 2 seconds away from using a better one

[zinc birch]

In the meantime, swipe, rewind, or pretend you know what the question is and answer it, perhaps with, "Yes, I know I have a bird sleeping on my head."

[austere basin]

I always skip the chat when they go “can I ask you something?” But they never ask it

Thats smart but they act dumb as hell when that happens

[rapid rapids]

Not me writing a whole script every time C.AI ‘50 first dates’ me

[autumn crow]

Yo new update sounds so buns

[radiant tartan]

This update is bad, why a 20 hour time limit and why no edit feature button..just bad

[warm flume]

This is so stupid.
I was trying to send an AI Generated picture of my character in a black button up shirt, brown trousers, and a long blue coat with a cane, to a Rockwell ai. She was totally covered and not showing a thing, but it kept saying it "violated terms of service" ...I did the unthinkable and actually bother to read it... I WASN'T IN VIOLATION, and of course it won't tell me what PART of terms it violated... Someone help me out

[dire berry]

Maybe the image looked too realistic?

[warm flume]

I can send you a DM of that pic so you know what I'm talking about, or maybe send it in #🎨︱art or something, cause this is ridiculous.

[dire berry]

Sure, you can send either in DM or the art channel.

[pseudo blaze]

Idk where to ask this but will my personas disappear when I'm unable to chat anymore

[spice fern]

What do you mean when youre unable go chat anymore ?

[pseudo blaze]

Like

[dire berry]

They should be there too if chats aren't disappearing.

[pseudo blaze]

Ok

[spice fern]

This sickens me sooo badddddd 😭😭😭😭

[fading geode]

I am on my last straw on this age verification AI

[tall kayak]

Real

[fading geode]

literally zero response as well

and believe me, Persona Identities better be ready for a fucking lawsuit

[tall kayak]

damn

[unkempt breach]

then it gets repeated ten times

[spice fern]

What did they do to you?

[fading geode]

all I tried to do was verify my age. I followed every single step. I am 21 years old. Even says it on my ID.

yet it failed

[tulip pollen]

Did you have good light in the room?

[fading geode]

yes I do

[spice fern]

Thats really annoying

[spice fern]

And im guessing the date was perfectly clear as well ?

[fading geode]

yes

I tried 4 times but the barcode was the worst

[tulip pollen]

Did you have your id layed vertically or horizontal, not sure that matters

[fading geode]

yes

[tulip pollen]

So you had it Vertically?

[spice fern]

Was it free of light spots yk where the flash makes a piece shiny ?

[tulip pollen]

That could also be a issue

[spice fern]

Also we're the four corners visible?

[fading geode]

yes

ok now it works

[tulip pollen]

Nice

[spice fern]

👏👏👏 hurray

[fading geode]

I thought something was wrong with the verification system

[tulip pollen]

But you got it to work right

[scenic ore]

Bro this bot startin to say “possessive” once in every few words. Tired of this sht

[austere basin]

RIGHT

[scenic ore]

Like you would create a fridge as a character and the bot gonna say “buzzzzz possessive buzzzz buzzzz”

[spice fern]

🤣🤣🤣 thats irritating

[forest wave]

using soft launch?

[forest wave]

or go to a different room and Just boom "Possessive, possessivily, Possesiveness" booo

[rapid rapids]

Yeah i have the app updated but i dont have an age verification option

[halcyon cypress]

are you in the US?

[rapid rapids]

Oh nvm i found it

[halcyon cypress]

ok yeah bc if you're in the US you should definitely have it lol

[cerulean sorrel]

still getting "unable to verify age", wonderful

and yes before you ask I did send a ticket

[halcyon cypress]

are you able to get onto persona or like at what point are you getting that message

[cerulean sorrel]

right when I click verify age

[halcyon cypress]

so you don't even get to take a selfie or pic of your ID at all?

[cerulean sorrel]

nope

[tulip pollen]

That's weird

[leaden shore]

#📱︱chat-feed message

woah my bad

[past lion]

Ad trapping surely has to be illegal in some way right

[cerulean sorrel]

considering I'm not hopping onto this until I can verify can't say I've had the same issue

[halcyon cypress]

you using VPN?

[rapid rapids]

Are you supposed to give it your ID? Bc it just scanned my face and said it was good

[cerulean sorrel]

I don't even have a VPN

[halcyon cypress]

nope if you pass the selfie scan you dont need to give ID

[past lion]

like crashing the app so that we're forced to look at an ad and refusing to fix it is flat out malicious

[rapid rapids]

Good thing i quickly did my brows or i wouldve failed

[cerulean sorrel]

I don't use the app but that doesn't seem allowed to have that happen

[past lion]

they haven't even addressed it bro and EVERYONE is complaining about it in the feedback channel 😭

[cerulean sorrel]

I think they mentioned it in status?

[halcyon cypress]

yeah its a bug

[forest wave]

i didin't got caught on those ||infernal|| add traps but the app crashing right on the add is just weird

[cerulean sorrel]

also fun fact: the bug I have only happens to my account and apparently not everyone else, only a select few

seems a tiny bit targeted if you ask me

[past lion]

honestly I'm just gonna start using the website instead, I'm sick of having to open and close the app every ten seconds when it crashes

[forest wave]

the website is add free?

[cerulean sorrel]

yes

[forest wave]

damn

[past lion]

well now that they know ppl actually use the website they're gonna find a way to add ads to that too 😭✌️

[cerulean sorrel]

I even got the app on bluestacks with the same account and still got the "unable to verify age" bug
