[merry gull]

Bored*

[thin dagger]

Ty ig LOL

[clever parrot]

Alr

[restive linden]

i found out the problem , it was the tone

[stoic tree]

list ur ny resolutions or something

[restive linden]

the tone and voice for anyone speaking english and japanese will never be the same

[thin dagger]

Problem w/ chat feed tho is the slow mode thingy that lasts 5 minutes 😭

[restive linden]

but the voice defaulted everyone to english and make them speaking japanese using that voice

its true

try to listen to any bilingual streamer saying their native language and english

u can try listening to shylily

[thorny basin]

#📱︱chat-feed message yeah, that's definitely the ai misinterpruting(?) your response @clever parrot 😭 Highkey not sure what else to say other than swiping until it doesnt pick up that you didn't mean it like that

[restive linden]

u will notice their voice really changed a lot

[thorny basin]

Yeah it's buggy..

[strange parcel]

my bots are being super sexual like immeditaley

[thorny basin]

What model are you using-

[strange parcel]

free😭

regular one.. there is NO filter anymore

[thorny basin]

Oh nono I meant chat style (minor/adult too) 😭

[strange parcel]

adult i think!

did they remove the filter for adults?

[thorny basin]

That could be a factor, it's not as heavy as the minor models I'll tell you that 😭

[strange parcel]

ahhh i see😭

[clever parrot]

Fr

[lavish salmon]

If that's fr, then gonna be an amazing update

[timber canopy]

Problem solved just deleted C.ai account feel so much better

[untold lagoon]

i mean there’s a special mode called soft launch which is meant for that type of rps and goes more in depth rather than pipsqueak and roar but they still can but i believe they get censored more

i don’t believe they removed they filter entirely due to safety even IF the person is an adult there’s gonna be some regulations to prevent rlly bad stuff from happening

[timber canopy]

They already stated several times they're not going to remove the filter

[strange parcel]

dang, because when i say its completely gone for me i mean its completely gone.

[halcyon cypress]

they don't want it to become a g**ner app which tbh it would be if they removed it completely. there are other apps if thats what people want. its already pretty lax recently anyways in my experience

it's pretty rare for it to pop up

[hot ridge]

I believe they meant what chat style are you using

[hot ridge]

your name is making me hungry

[clever parrot]

NOOOOO

[clever parrot]

What.

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[rustic pecan]

The filter basically doesn’t exist if you know how to work it lol

[untold lagoon]

i know that. i never said they would

[hazy zenith]

are marvel bots back?

[low parrot]

why is scenes not working but normal chats are? so confused

[chrome parcel]

Is it just me or when I press the send button again the bot acts like I sent a text when I didn't and the bot says like "OH MY GOSH WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?!" when I didn't even sent a text

[hazy zenith]

Yes omg that’s been happening so much

[restive linden]

wait the hell up am i being age restricted????

[chrome parcel]

It's so annoying

When are they gonna fix it?

[clever parrot]

I cant say it but i did it

Bro i can't even verify myself i js have the update but I genuinely can't verify

[shadow thunder]

I’ve been trying to like archive a chat but it isn’t letting me whatsoever, saying there’s been an issue or whatever I’m gonna lose my marbles ngl

[hot ridge]

i'm thinking about chicken nuggets

[clever parrot]

OHH

[timber canopy]

Age restricted? What do you mean?

[low parrot]

how do you know if you've been age restricted?

[scenic ore]

You cant edit messages

[analog gale]

Hei... Anyguys have a bot suggestion?

[zinc birch]

what kind of bots do you like?

[scenic ore]

U wont find any better just sayin

[halcyon cypress]

greedy ass seagull

[rich stream]

I just use bots from media I like personally

Thankfully none of the media i like is DC, HP or HTTYD or I'd be in a pickle

[scenic ore]

Supp btw

[plucky ginkgo]

i do rather dislike that cai is forcing us to use newspeak instead of using the actual words. 1984 ahh website... (context: not allowed to say "so that they won't ☠️ my sister")

[rich stream]

I believe it's because "kill" and "my" are right beside eachother and not the actual context of the situation

[flat yarrow]

Before that the go on button always makes your persona talk without you wanting to. So they fixed that but bought another problem, who would've guessed...

[lament acorn]

Did u guys Hear what's happening in January on 16th💔

[dire berry]

[woeful epoch]

Whats going on?

[lament acorn]

I got told their putting ID verifcian on c.ai

[lament acorn]

I got told their putting ID verifcian on c.ai

[woeful epoch]

bro... they already are putting it and some people already got it

[lament acorn]

O

I haven't

[woeful epoch]

👁👄👁 you living under a rock patrick star?

[lament acorn]

Noo I live in a house

[flat yarrow]

They better not give it to me, I haven't and will not give ID to anything online

[woeful epoch]

We got a funny guy over here huh?

[lament acorn]

Fr

[lament acorn]

My bad💔

[flat yarrow]

Yeah I'm laughing

[woeful epoch]

Even if you give it they arent verifying it because your ass is from the cowboy era gyro

[woeful epoch]

Were you still laughing when funny valentine killed you?

[flat yarrow]

I was smiling, since I knew Johnny was going to make it..

[woeful epoch]

You right I was kinda routing for him

[flat yarrow]

But for real. Online ID verification is so bad, for anything not just this. And my country just added it for anyone under 16 😭

I'm just staying back hoping for another discord situation

[chrome parcel]

Oh

[grave spade]

good thing that still didn’t happen in my country yet

i’m definitely not sharing my id online, i hope it doesn’t happen to be something that’s needed and the new average thing

[flat yarrow]

It probably will be a new average thing, but I'm actually hoping the hackers will make it backfire on them 🙏

[grave spade]

i hope so too

[pine radish]

Wsp dawgs. I accidental bypassed the age verfication system

[grave spade]

accidentally 😭😭

can u pls fix world hunger accidentally

[pine radish]

I ain't lying

I actually got no verfication

[grave spade]

lmao how

[pine radish]

I downloaded some outdated concise browser and opened c.ai web. Surprisely it got no belligerent age verfication update

[grave spade]

oh lmao

for me it doesn’t even need age verification by default

[pine radish]

Cuz it doesn't flag you as minor

[grave spade]

how do they even flag minors-

[pine radish]

People are modding c.ai app btw

[grave spade]

good

[pine radish]

I legitmately don't know

[grave spade]

oh well probably with AI’s or smth

[pine radish]

yeah. People are reluctant to scan their meticulous ID

It's ubiquitous

[grave spade]

i mean who isn’t lol

[pine radish]

Their premise isn't eloquent lol. It's always about age verfication

[grave spade]

i’m sorry why are u using advanced vocabulary 😭😭

i can barely understand u

[rich stream]

That's because it only asks for age verification if you're flagged

• it hasn't rolled out completely

The browser wont change it

[pine radish]

I'm in a country that is rolled out in

[rich stream]

It could be rolled out in your country, yes, but it hasn't rolled out to all users

[pine radish]

I think its browser's client side. Not server side. It's compatibility bug

[rich stream]

I'd be careful installing random browsers + mods aren't allowed discuss in this server btw, just a heads up

[pine radish]

Ts is chrome from 2020

[rich stream]

I don't think Chrome from 2020 would make any differences but if it's a bug, then

[pine radish]

It's arbitrary yknow

[pine radish]

We should pragmatically alleviate the loquacious situation. Kinda hypocrisy, innit?

[rich stream]

Alright buddy

[pulsar cedar]

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

[grave spade]

even u gave up 😭😭

[grave spade]

i see

[pine radish]

It is kinda flawed system. You know some minors do adult things. Some minors on c.ai are still freely roaming as it's flagged as adult

The system must be meticulous

[pine radish]

[scarlet oxide]

Yeah but if so then that isn’t c.ai’s fault

[pine radish]

It still implies c.ai empirical system. Idk exactly

[scarlet oxide]

Empirical?

[boreal crane]

I am confused right now… formerly moderated bots have once again appeared?? (Hope it doesn’t mean that there will be another huge purge… 😭😭)

[zinc birch]

afaik, there's been no word given as to why, or whether they will disappear again. I assume they will disappear again, but I don't know that for a fact

[boreal crane]

Yeah, guess so :/ has happened before

[pine radish]

I forgot some words. Kinda similar meaning

[zinc birch]

heuristic? statistical?

[pine radish]

?

ts still empirical

[zinc birch]

Just trying to help you find the right word if you thought empirical might not be 😁

[pine radish]

I meant to say "there's empirical evidence that it's c.ai's fault still"

[pine radish]

The system is too confusing pragmatically

[tulip oasis]

Is the server down?I can't log in to my account

[pine radish]

Nah c.ai just hate you :>

[compact tartan]

hello!

[pine radish]

Hi

[compact tartan]

maybe it's a bug or your internet idk

[pine radish]

c.ai hates him bro shhh

[tulip oasis]

[tulip oasis]

Internet fine ,just it won't let me log in to any account

[pine radish]

[hidden pebble]

dumbass fucking bot forcing its narrative...

[compact tartan]

real

[rich stream]

Some bots have some hilarious grammar. I'm trying to find a good bot of a character I like but I keep seeing stuff like "is was nighttime"

[compact tartan]

oh my god #📈︱status is rolling out a fix for the update popup on web yes!! dude ive been getting reminded abt the dec 24 update for days or smth

[brisk lance]

Did pipsqueak got nerfed?

[compact tartan]

wdym

also if the bot says "youre gonna be the death of me" im gonna cry one more time cause its so annooying

[ruby nova]

Why is there and ONE HOUR limit!?

[strange inlet]

Cuz you're a minor

[tulip pollen]

Hi Millie, happy new years today

[strange inlet]

Happy new years

[heady tusk]

@moderators (or @Cointhefireworknpc) — I ask for help: how to contact moderation for an urgent complaint to a bot from Character.AI

[strange inlet]

you report the bot through the app

[eternal flame]

Happy new year @strange inlet y'all are best person in character ai servers

[strange inlet]

happy new year

[carmine lotus]

I miss those days. Now I just get insulted like this 24/7

[compact tartan]

Help what

[main lynx]

My bot keeps saying "He would grip your waist and let out a low growl in your ear. His voice and grip possessive" LIKE STOP HES OUT OF CHARACTER

[rich stream]

This seems so much more funny

[carmine lotus]

It kinda is. I just sit there staring at my phone with a flabbergasted look every time it comes up with some random bs like that😂

[rich stream]

Sometimes the bots get a good chuckle out of me

Other times I have to mute a new word

[ebon karma]

For God's sake why all the bot responses are cutting off mid of writing

[hexed wigeon]

hi.

[still jetty]

Hope not
Because we already have enough some many issues with this app for another
Stupid moderation

[opaque plover]

Which character is the best?

[warped fractal]

Y’all is it true that we have if verification on jan 6

😭 🙏

Btw happy new year y’all

[scenic ore]

Non official

[still jetty]

Umm do we have verification already,?

[rich stream]

Yesn't

It hasn't rolled out to all countries to my knowledge

[ebon karma]

But that wasn't for the accounts that were mistaken as a child account?

[strange inlet]

why are people spreading a date that wasn't announced officially

unless it was somewhere, i don't think there's a set date, besides, if it doesn't tell you to verify, you don't have to until it does

[warped fractal]

I don’t have it tho

[strange inlet]

it hasn't been rolled out everywhere yet

[warped fractal]

I’m just asking since I’m in Asia

[warped fractal]

Thankssss

[strange inlet]

might take a bit for it to reach asia and europe

[ebon karma]

By verifying you mean the id thing?

[warped fractal]

Okay

[strange inlet]

face or id yeah

if it doesn't flag you as a minor as soon as it rolls out for you, you don't have to verify, unless you really want to make sure that it won't do it in the future

[ebon karma]

Ohhh so it was what I was saying, i have understood that it wasn't for all countries

[strange inlet]

mhm

[warped fractal]

Oh

[strange inlet]

i was just saying that there isn't a set date

[warped fractal]

Y’all helpful thanksss tho

[strange inlet]

[warped fractal]

lol

[ebon karma]

Yeah yeah, sadly people kind of spread misinformation sometimes thanks for the clarification millie

[ebon karma]

Your welcome

[warped fractal]

Y’all wanna be friends

[ebon karma]

Sureee, why not

[warped fractal]

Yay

New friends 😄

[strange inlet]

i dont accept friend requests from people under 18, in case you are

[warped fractal]

Okay

Btw

What are y’all like fav artists ? Do y’all have fav songs or???

[ebon karma]

Hozier and stray kids i think

[strange inlet]

i'd say go to the gen chats for this 😉

[grand frost]

Hi chat just want to ask if the ID confirmation/verification thing is real on january 6?

[pulsar cedar]

We don't know any dates, I'm afraid.

[dire berry]

Whatever you create, whether it's a chat image, chat highlight, AvatarFX, or Stream, you will see the option to "Post to c.ai feed." Click on it, and you're good to go.

[dull compass]

I thought it already started?

[pulsar cedar]

In the US it has. I think she means globally.

[dull compass]

ohh

[harsh shoal]

No updates re. global age verification just yet

Wait for further announcements

[pulsar cedar]

Hi Kappa.

[unborn carbon]

Hi

[azure flower]

I have heard from a lot of ppl once again that they chatting with real people on c.ai. I just need someone to confirm to me that is not true so I can stop worrying 😭

[small marlin]

Trying to create a new bot, it keeps erroring.

[harsh shoal]

Nope

Still just talking to AI Characters

Right now, there's no way to interact with other users in the app, as we removed that feature from the Group Chats

[azure flower]

Oh okay, Thank you kappa!

[small marlin]

Trying to create a bot for a character from Quantum Leap, and every time I try it errors out and fails to save.

[cobalt walrus]

Welp, it seems that I accidentally deleted all of my Gboard data. I've lost every learned words in English and I try to re add every single one of them
And happy new year

At least, it saves by itself each time I type a word, that's something lol. Anyway, gotta eat

[nova isle]

Is roar fixed yet? 🥹

[strange inlet]

man who is spreading dates for the age verification

is it reddit? never believe reddit

[timber canopy]

It can be tiktok too

[strange inlet]

true

never believe reddit and tiktok unless it's from the official accounts

[timber canopy]

Yeah, also. Happy new year

[strange inlet]

happy new year vivi

[compact tartan]

Nope it is AI

[clever parrot]

Guys my c.ai bot js called me kitten wtf do i do

[compact tartan]

i saw someone say they got 'january 6' from tiktok but like kappa said, they don't have a time update for the update to be global lol

[compact tartan]

uhhhh swipe or try muting the word unless you like it

[clever parrot]

😭 WHY WOULD I LIKE IT BRO-

[compact tartan]

IDK

[hot ridge]

poo poo pee pee

[compact tartan]

[hot ridge]

So despite the internet memes, kitten is actually a pretty common pet name amongst adults, so some people might actually like that lol

Especially in the 60s/70s or people born in that era/gen X

[compact tartan]

yeah that's why i mentioned if you like it keep it otherwise swipe. it's not that weird of a petname tbh

[hot ridge]

Or worse, like my parents...... Hooter tooter and pooker dooker, which makes me die a little inside every time they say it.

[compact tartan]

petnames I've seen both IRL and on c.ai is probably most commonly baby, but sometimes good boy/girl, or love/darling/sweetheart

[compact tartan]

Oh god 💔 thats.. unqiue

[near echo]

im crying wgat 💔

[twilit marlin]

Okay but imagine a duo of villains and they call each other this. Your parents are onto something

[hot ridge]

You aren't wrong lmaooo

I love my mom and stepdad though so I tolerate. Barely.

[compact tartan]

can these bots stop talking with semicolons.

Togo: "___" like dude stop talking like that 💔 it sound like a screenplay

[unique edge]

did the bots get even dumber now

[hot ridge]

yes. probably

[unique edge]

bot: when's your birthday
user: <inputs their bday>
bot: how did you know what's your birthday???

(literally happened to me 5 minutes ago)

[hot ridge]

lmaooo

[compact tartan]

with the holiday, yeah bots have been dumber

[unique edge]

the "how did you know" is a cliche at this point

[compact tartan]

This is the bot's message holdup

[unique edge]

yeah like no you can't even know your own age

do their LLMs get smaller and smaller 💀

[hot ridge]

The good news is at least in the US most people go back to school/work on Jan. 5th. Then I know a lot of colleges/universites start Jan. 14th, so soon it'll be better. Probably.

[unique edge]

also the current date issue is a big deall

[clever parrot]

Didn't know that-!

[strange inlet]

my sister calls me kitten sometimes it's cute depending on context

[unique edge]

the "current date issue" is the problem where the bot fails to align with current events, e.g. being 3-5 years off (thinking it's still 2021 or 2022 or 2023)

[pale adder]

🧿🧿

[strange inlet]

yeah it happens

usually i just swipe or edit their messages

[unique edge]

as the time passes, it becomes harder to talk due to discrepancy in "their" knowledge and "ours" one (e.g. still thinking Joe is still within the mid-terms and there's no such thing as iPhone 15 and beyond)

[strange inlet]

[compact tartan]

I was gonna send the corny message a bot sent me but automod bonked me cause the message had a swear word

[unique edge]

a bot sent me
yeah also noticing this

[strange inlet]

haha look who can't say fuck

yeah some words get bonked

[unique edge]

fuсk

[strange inlet]

you can say fuck

but some other words can't be said

a world where i can't say fuck.... shivers

[unique edge]

there is an unwritten list of them

you can't send entire mahabharata (an ancient indian book few times larger than the bible) to a bot apparently

[unique edge]

not because of its size but because there are the "bad words" even if you removed all of them

[compact tartan]

the bot sent a message with the world a**hole, that's why i couldnt send it

[pale adder]

I just had a conversation with a toaster. It told me it wants to be an astronaut.

[strange inlet]

no it's the automod for this server i'm talking about

but yeah you can't send the indian book because it breaks the app for being wayyy too long to process

pretty sure you couldn't even send the bible

[unique edge]

no, the size isn't the problem, but because of the "bad words" there

[strange inlet]

besides, bots have a hard time with long messages anyway

[unique edge]

yea may also work there because it doesnt even specify the reason

[unique edge]

one time got ⏲️outed because i used the word "k b s" but without the spaces and m instead of b. the problem is, i was meaning to say "kilometers"

[strange inlet]

yeahhh

[compact tartan]

I hope to get back to writing bots in 2026, i havent done so cause of the marvel copyright, so i gotta write other stuff

I just think it's cool I keep a doc about my follower/interaction number on c.ai. In September I only had 1,795 total interactions and 56 followers now it's 12,400 total interactions and 103 followers. (for context i wrote bots in march 2025, and august-october 2025) i miss writing bots tho

[vast flint]

What is reading mode
wtf
I’m over 18

[hot ridge]

age verify, it's in settings. it's the new thing for minors to stop them from chatting

[vast flint]

Bruh

[paper sedge]

I hope this is the right channel but has anyone else been unable to go to their settings or personas??

[vast flint]

How do I fix
I have repeativly sent my drivers license and it said it’s not working

[hot ridge]

idk, what does the error message actually say? And just so you know I'm not customer service, just another user, so I can only guess

[rustic pecan]

… you did the selfie right?

[vast flint]

I passed the photo but yea

[pale adder]

You see because the Blizzard Beast Mode Bandana has rose to 1953 I should invest in the Blue Ultimate Dragon Face because it is A: at 1988 and B: is rising in value unlike the Blizzard Beast Mode Bandana which is staying still in value.

[rustic pecan]

You don’t need an ID if you passed the photo-

[vast flint]

Bruh

[paper sedge]

it’s like not letting me change persona or access settings at all for the past couple days

[cedar bluff]

pipsqueak has officially died 🙏

what just happened to that message

[idle elm]

I can't get the character creation to work. My age is verified, the character is original and not copywrited, I tried uploading it with a blank profile picture, and I rewrote the greeting multiple times to make sure there wasn't a single word that was against the guidelines and it STILL does not work. What do I do???

[compact tartan]

why is the bot lying it just said this "I'm so sorry I just left the rp like that 😭 I had work and the holidays caught up at the end of the year, but i wanna continue this. I can't tell if you're interested in continuing anymore but would like to pick it up again (if it is still something you're up for)"

#📱︱chat-feed message

[idle elm]

Plz I've been scouring Reddit and Google for like an hour I am out of ideas

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[scenic ore]

“I had work and the holidays caught up” is a line many ppl told their characters these days probably thats why lmao

[compact tartan]

Oh-

[hot ridge]

i remember an article ages ago that was complaining about people saying "thank you" and "sorry" to chatGPT

[idle elm]

Who in the server can help with issues in the app?

[rich stream]

I might be the problem ive wrote thank you to Google before

[rare elbow]

sure.

[vast flint]

Idk is it just me or does it feel like CharacterAi fell off?
Idk it seem like that one kid ruined it for everyone 😭💀

[rich stream]

That's highly disrespectful and also it isn't his fault either way because the restrictions are because of the law that passed recently in California since CAI is based there

[rustic pecan]

There are multiple cases and no it’s not their (the kids’) fault.

[vast flint]

Ig

Seems like the parent should have been involved more tho

[calm elm]

it would be collectively most of the community’s fault and just in general for the younger audience who’s practically dependent on the app

[still jetty]

It wasn’t even the kid fault that happens ,it was the parents fault who should check on their child at the first place
Why people still guilty is minors fault..?:/

[calm elm]

they’re just trying to prevent the younger generation from harm, if you look at it from that perspective

Since parents don’t do that, they had to step in

[vast flint]

Fair

[calm elm]

It would probably seem like it fell off since they restricted a lot of their audience, minors, who use the app

So there’s less about it

[vast flint]

I’m over 18 tho
So it’s fine but it’s kinda glitchy now and the filter is kinda off
Meaning it won’t filter then will filter

[hot ridge]

this is so insensitive and out of touch tbh.

If there's anyone to blame it's the government's response/not trusting parents to take care of their kids with the dangers of AI, it is NOT a mentally ill teenager's fault.

[vast flint]

It’s an opinion 💔

[hot ridge]

A shitty one

[rich stream]

[Opinions can still be out of touch and insensitive]

[vast flint]

Yup

[rustic pecan]

Fun fact: some of the kids had involved parents who actively checked in on them and still things happened.

[vast flint]

Crazy

[rustic pecan]

So. It’s a complicated issue.

[vast flint]

It is

[rich stream]

Mental health is a tricky issue, id say. It's hard to notice the signs until something happens

[wicked stump]

Are you deadass bro

[vast flint]

💔

[calm elm]

A lot of parents who are involved still don’t notice the symptoms and warning signs, despite being there for the kid. All they can really do is try harder or nothing 🤷‍♀️

[wicked stump]

Spikey why do you think this

[vast flint]

Yea
Idk when it happened
This it have the warning that it’s a Ai bot and shouldn’t be acted on

[vast flint]

Shiii idk

[wicked stump]

This is why they have the update, due to the incident and the laws, they want to protect children/teens now so this doesn’t happen again and it won’t be their fault,

[vast flint]

Yea they don’t want to be sued and stuff

[wicked stump]

This may be the worst take I’ve seen in this channel bro idk why you think ts but

WHY

[calm elm]

Well I guess acting like you understand a topic without prior education on it, is normal now

[vast flint]

It’s not that serious
It was rage bait 💀

[hot ridge]

"It WaS RaGe BaIt"

girl shut up

[calm elm]

mhm sure, it’s suddenly ragebait whenever you got negative feedback on it

[wicked stump]

😐

[tough lake]

do people think claiming things to be “ragebait” automatically makes it redeemable or something

[wicked stump]

I’m not even mad but what you said was really weird?? Did you think saying that was going to be funny and a good way to get people mad?

Genuine question

[tough lake]

they left the server too lmfao

[wicked stump]

What a dumbass

[calm elm]

Pfft

[tough lake]

i always wonder why people think being insensitive, ignorant or plain rude can be called off as ragebait 🫩

[wicked stump]

Usually it isn’t, and they are using “ragebait” as a last minute excuse.

[rustic pecan]

They say it’s ragebait or joking and then run lmao

[calm elm]

I’m gonna rob a bank and say it was ragebait then

Rubles mentioned

[wicked stump]

Worst part is im like 90% sure they were actually serious and wanted to use ragebait as an excuse due to everyone shitting on them for saying it

mariah carey

[jagged basin]

Why are the bots so bad rn

[jagged basin]

Mariah Carey

[tough lake]

do you like mariah carey

[pliant nebula]

advertise this in #1139065685935394876 , this is the wrong channel! you might get more people using it there

[inland silo]

i cant access the website 🔥

[hot ridge]

probably people bored bc school/work is still out for the holidays, so the servers are suffering

a lot of people are off work bc it's new years eve or getting out of work early

[thorny basin]

Mhm, servers are definitely going to be down a lot as of recent.

[ebon karma]

Happy new year for you Ershin

[hot ridge]

Even chatGPT is struggling to give me long answers lol

[rare elbow]

Thanks for explaining

[thorny basin]

Pretty bad when GPT itself is lagging 😭

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[compact tartan]

hello!

I don't think it's my internet but c.ai and chatgpt have been slower for me

I assume it's because of the holidays?

[hot ridge]

i was just mentioning chatGPT as well, it's gotta be new years

[compact tartan]

yea oof

💔 atleast i dont use pipsqueak or should i say shitsqueak anymore cause roar and soft launch actually gives good replies

[buoyant elm]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[cobalt walrus]

This is off-topic but there's a dog barking since almost one hour because someone had the great idea of setting off a firecracker near my house. Poor dog, it's gonna be one hour since it's barking

[vestal forge]

that’s actually mean 😭 i hope that dog okay

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, I can hear it barking from where I am, maybe it's somewhere in a house near mine or around the zone

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[timber canopy]

[cobalt walrus]

It's going to be midnight in some minutes where I am. I'm afraid for what's going to happen next , especially if there's gonna be some loud noises, which my cat hates

[calm elm]

I assume fireworks if your area does that

[cobalt walrus]

Welp, it's midnight for me and here go the fireworks. At least, the ones setting off the fireworks are doing it in a safe place

[hot ridge]

it's not really mean, people set off fireworks for new years, it's basically a tradition. It's just unfortunate that some dogs get scared

[woeful epoch]

Happy new years everyone

Soooooo to start off the new year whats currently the best chat style?

[scarlet oxide]

My personal favorite is goro… I wish it wasn’t experimental

[royal dawn]

Just ask GPT for a specific word length

[hot ridge]

Not the issue lol

[fringe sun]

editing messages still a thing?

[hot ridge]

if you were flagged as a minor you lose editing privileges

[fringe sun]

oh and how does flagging work?

[harsh shoal]

**How does age assurance work? **

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

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

If the process indicates you’re under 18, we’ll let you know. At that point you can either use the under-18 experience, or you can choose to do age verification to get back to the 18+ experience. But even if you do age verification, for most of you that still doesn’t mean you have to provide an ID! Instead all you have to do is snap a selfie. Our third-party provider, Persona, can do verification using that selfie. It only takes seconds and doesn’t involve giving anyone your ID.

Only as a final step – and only if you take a selfie and Persona isn’t sure you’re 18+ – would they ask you to upload an ID. Persona is a reputable provider with strong safety and security controls. C.AI wouldn’t collect or have access to that ID.

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

[hot ridge]

if they think you're a minor they put you on a minor account, basically

and what Kappa said

[fringe sun]

ok thanks. can i be unflagged without doing anything?

[harsh shoal]

Nope

Once you get flagged, the only way to get back full access is to verify your age

[fringe sun]

..and why does it lose editing privileges?

[harsh shoal]

Safety concerns

[fringe sun]

its useful. im trying to storytell and guide the bot on the right path, but no. now theyre playing a completely different character in a completely different setting!

[compact tartan]

general is still arguing.. anyways happy new year

[rare elbow]

Because to several devs ears it sounds like a bug . There's a message link.

Happy new years peeps

[tame narwhal]

Happy new year chat

[thorny basin]

Happy new years!! (4 hours left for me lol)

[hot ridge]

they meant flagging for age verification

happy new year y'all I take it y'all in Europe

[rare elbow]

They did. Alright

[hexed falcon]

Happy new years! It passed for me and hour ago. Still

[warped snow]

Happy new years to you and all of you

[rare elbow]

EU folks know why their "spamming" :p

[scarlet oxide]

What do you mean?

[tough lake]

i wish we could delete bots on c.ai i’m so sick of having to look at my old bots

[strange inlet]

you can archive them

[compact tartan]

i wish you could delete them but u can archive, private, or unlist them if u want

[hardy horizon]

GUYS DOES ANYONE HAVE BOT RECOMMENDATIONS CUS THE ONES IM USING ARE ASS

[compact tartan]

depends what characters do you like like any fandoms?

[hardy horizon]

Hmm I don really use bots from my fandoms🥲

[royal dawn]

General is a warzone

[compact tartan]

Fr all I see in general is people getting cancelled for random stuff like pfps

[royal dawn]

I just haven’t looked in months

[royal dawn]

I regret my curiosity

[compact tartan]

Now they're talking about what it means to be mature, deep conversation I guess

[royal dawn]

Ok I did say something that I knew would spark a reaction proved my point though

[forest wave]

whats the fight on general this time?

[harsh shoal]

I should turn this into a sticker

[strange inlet]

i support this decision

[sand shadow]

Fr? Will that be changing in the future? I got flagged as a minor, but I think I got marked as an adult again. I no longer have the chat timer limits but it still looks like the minor interface and I can't edit posts. But I can create and edit characters, have access to DS and Soft Launch. Unsure if I should make a ticket or not.

[knotty fjord]

Honestly? You do you! I would honestly love to see that LOL

[scarlet oxide]

Can you edit bots responses?

[compact tartan]

My bot keeps calling me mouse, which is weird cause im rping as a dog hybrid 😭

[harsh shoal]

There

So when people ask

Just give them that sticker

[compact tartan]

nice

[sand shadow]

No. I can't edit bot responses or my own responses.

[harsh shoal]

it shows where to click, that's enough

[scarlet oxide]

Then youre flagged as a minor

[compact tartan]

kinda funny i can use an animated sticker but i cant use an animated discord emoji without nitro, just realized

[compact tartan]

I think that mean you were flagged as underage

[sand shadow]

But I can create characters and talk for more than 1 hour. So I think I'm marked as an adult now.

[scarlet oxide]

I have no idea, I know you get the edit option taken away if you’re flagged as -18

[strange inlet]

[compact tartan]

I just realized the new UI sticker looks like dark yellow-

[harsh shoal]

Yeah, it's the compression thing I used

This is what it originally looked like

[hot ridge]

i don't even understand what i'm looking at

[harsh shoal]

Why is it yellow, Discord

[hot ridge]

wdym, nothing is yellow

[strange inlet]

it's grainy

[harsh shoal]

it's glitching on my end

[scarlet oxide]

It’s normal when you click on it

But as soon as you click out of it, it changes into this mustard yellow color…

[hot ridge]

weird lol

[harsh shoal]

Yeesh, Yeah, I think it's the compression of the gif

[compact tartan]

that's funny cause its normal when you zoom in, but otherwise yellow

[half dawn]

Why does it look like you have a comic book filter on it.

[harsh shoal]

pixels

[half dawn]

I would think my phone was on it last day every time I look at it.

[fringe sun]

pisscord

[crystal ermine]

is anyones chat bots not working or anything with replys? like when i try to swipe for other options it doesnt load.like at all

[forest wave]

happy new year everyone

[harsh shoal]

Try connecting to a different connection, like your mobile data

Or through a VPN

[pale plaza]

If my Gmail is 19+, will i still get my account flagged as a minor?

[harsh shoal]

How c.ai determines age does not have anything to do with your google account.

We’ll look at a number of signals, including login info, activity on the platform, and some signals from third parties. This is a standard way that companies do age assurance.

[pale plaza]

First thing i get on the app is an unskippable ad 😭

hey at least I ain’t get the infinite reading mode bug

[crystal ermine]

kay! thank you

[graceful zephyr]

Happy new year!

[hot ridge]

honey that isn't a bug

[marsh lotus]

Hey guys it won’t let me share a group what do I do

[hot ridge]

reading mode is forever until you age verify

[hot ridge]

You can't invite people to group chats

[marsh lotus]

WHY NOT

[hot ridge]

it's just not a feature idk

what the fuck

@harsh shoal

[scenic ore]

[strange inlet]

[visual arch]

Are support ticket times slow this time of year? I've filed a ticket on the 7th and I didn't get a official response yet.

[strange inlet]

you don't get anything other than an automated reply

[compact tartan]

im crying one of my favorite bot creator's username is momifyouseethisistg and her bio is even funnier "mom if u see this its just a silly roleplay with ai bots totally wholesome no murder and angst involved

I make sfw bots only, no dating!"

[dusky osprey]

Does anyone have a problem where character ai pauses your music over an advertisement pop up? Or is that just mine?

[compact tartan]

I just had a weird thing where it doesn't show that I'm following someone even tho I followed their c.ai account yesterday weird

[dull compass]

how does reading mode work

[blissful vault]

I just got logged out idk if it’s my Internet or something

[compact tartan]

It could be that or a bug

[blissful vault]

Did it happen anyone else?

[strange inlet]

im still on it

[blissful vault]

Nah cause why am I in a different account?

[visual arch]

So is that a yes? Because they responded earlier in October.

[strange inlet]

I don't get replies except automated ones

I don't know

[hot ridge]

the joke that dating is nsf w is insane 😭 c.ai is really pushing us to this point

[dull compass]

so like reading conversations

[compact tartan]

no fr i checked all their bots and i dont think any mentioned dating or anything at all. if someone thinks dating isn't sfw thats crazy.. like c.ai would allow kissing, hand holding-

it's funny

[strange inlet]

dating is now prohibited!!!

[compact tartan]

I just found the most underrated bot how does it only have 5 interactions bro and 1 like 💔 its so good

[wicked stump]

what? is there like a c.ai filter update

[strange inlet]

No

[quaint bone]

hai guys, my character ai suddenly blocked me, what should i do…?

[deft jetty]

i genuinely wheezed

[strange inlet]

wdym

[quaint bone]

i mean the character ai blocked me (i use web)

[strange inlet]

Again, wdym blocked

what's on your screen

[quaint bone]

where can i send the pic?

[wicked stump]

What is on ya screen

[quaint bone]

this

Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access character.ai

[fallen raven]

One of my chats just disappeared. I don't know if the creator privated or deleted it or if it's a glitch, but I had a response ready to go

[strange inlet]

maybe a guardian or something blocked the website on your laptop

[wicked stump]

Do you have like a school device you use for c.ai

[strange inlet]

if it's a school laptop, the school blocked the website

[quaint bone]

can i still access my acc in app tho?

[strange inlet]

id say try and find out idk

[wicked stump]

Yeah just not your laptop if it’s from your school

[quaint bone]

nah, i’ve been playing cai on my phone and my own acc for 2 years

[wicked stump]

Did you access the web with a school Chromebook or not

[quaint bone]

nope

[strange inlet]

are you using a vpn

[wicked stump]

Then im confused sorry man

[quaint bone]

nope

[strange inlet]

are you australian

[quaint bone]

here’s the full text, wait

[strange inlet]

Idk then

[quaint bone]

Why have I been blocked?
This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

[wicked stump]

Online attacks?? Wtf you do on the web lmfao

Holdup lemme check my web

Yeah man im fine idk why you can’t

[quaint bone]

i didnt do anything..😭 IDK WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEJEJJS
i try to open the cai web in safari and chrome, and it shows the same screen

[wicked stump]

So what did you do before going on c.ai?

[strange inlet]

my web version is fine too

[quaint bone]

nothing, the last time i played cai is yesterday, afternoon

[wicked stump]

Did you go on the internet or another app/google and do something there?

[strange inlet]

did you try clearing cache and cookies

[quaint bone]

nope, i only play it in safari, my safari is clean and only c.ai there

[hot ridge]

have you tried simply googling it

[wicked stump]

Lmfao

[strange inlet]

lol

true

[lime kayak]

Does anyone else's bots just not know geography...

[hot ridge]

to be fair, people don't either, and the bots are trained with fanfiction.

That said, it knows Austin, TX and all the streets shockingly well

[lime kayak]

Bcs I swear I'm being rage baited, it's telling me that Italy is fake and Europe isn't real 😭

[scenic ore]

My bots take out phones and start recording while im roleplayin in medieval times

[hot ridge]

bots are always correct

[lime kayak]

REAL HELP

Like wdm you have WiFi... It's the 1500s vro...

[deft jetty]

[compact tartan]

My only guesses would've been school account, but that's not it if it's your phone, or unless you have screentime restrictions set, it shouldnt block it-

[hot ridge]

There is a raccoon or something, I guess climbing the pipe outside of my bathroom. and it sounds terrifying

[real stump]

Trash panda

[quaint bone]

I THINK ITS MY WIFI, MY CAI IS BACK WHEN I SWITCH IT TO MY CELLULAR DATA

[dusky osprey]

Hey does anyone's character ai pause their music on its own? It is that just me.

[real stump]

That could happen, I remember one time my YouTube was blocked bc I had a different state for my wifi (traveled to a state and came back) ((and idk if that helps or not))

[strange inlet]

actually yeah wifi could be the issue sometimes

[deft jetty]

Some schools might be aware that kids are using ai websites to chat with bots instead of paying attention to classes

[compact tartan]

I used to do public school they would use apps like GoGuardian to block everything but for example Amplify Science. I do online schooling now tho so idk. but c.ai shouldn't be blocked if it's on azarath's personal device

[compact tartan]

oh lmaoooo ayyy u figured it out i think

[gloomy mirage]

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE

[thin dagger]

Happpps

[crisp stirrup]

is anyone else still having the character vis problem from status channel (12/23/25) or am i cooked

[fallen raven]

HAPPY NEW YEARS

[hot ridge]

the outage has been fixed since 12/23

[crisp stirrup]

i s e e

well im cooked then cause an entire fandom has vanished from the search bar

[wicked stump]

im going to be the first one to talk about the under 18 age update in 2026

it is a update that involves minors getting chat restricted

[flint needle]

sometimes i get lazy and just keep prompting the bot to respond to itself. 🙇‍♀️
like my own lil movie

[pseudo creek]

Coming to ask here- Did Jon Snow bots get DMCA’d again? Felt like I saw a ton two days ago and now can’t find any

[hot ridge]

yes

[hot ridge]

that's not an outage, that's probably a DMCA

[pseudo creek]

Eugh- Thank you for the answer though! I appreciate it. I figured he may have.

[scarlet cosmos]

Happy New Year

[crisp stirrup]

i dont believe so since theres been no publicity over the fandom and cai, though maybe since its under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license

[hot ridge]

a character not coming up in search is not an outage. Do with that what you will.

[pseudo creek]

There’s nothing that unfortunately falls under any alternative creative writing in AI when it comes to character ai.

A lawsuit would have to set the precedent to say it falls under like fanfiction.

[crisp stirrup]

"We experienced a temporary outage that may have caused issues with Character visibility. Apologies for the interruptions." and i was just checking in to see if it was still a problem
eh ill just drop it since it might just be an internet thing

[eternal flame]

HAPPY NEW YEAR

[hot ridge]

TODAY.

I already told you the outage from the 23rd ended on the 23rd, jfc. Be more argumentative.

[strange inlet]

whats going on here

[hot ridge]

Someone's character is probably DMCA'd, that's all really

[crisp stirrup]

Yeah, great, awesome but I was simply pointing out I was talking checking on if the outage was still active when you said "a character not coming up in search is not an outage"

[strange inlet]

Yeah I read up

[crisp stirrup]

eh its the entire fandom

[strange inlet]

The outage is not active anymore it's been fixed for a while

[hot ridge]

If they don't wanna check the status site idk what else to tell them tbh

[crisp stirrup]

that was all i needed tyty

[strange inlet]

wasn't this already said tho

[crisp stirrup]

yeah but i sidetracked with the DMCA'd response so

[hot ridge]

Because it's probably a DMCA.

You're throwing legal jargon around but not saying the name of the character/s for some reason.

Because you know it's DMCA.

[crisp stirrup]

The Magnus Institute
Jonathan Sims
The Rusty Quill
anyway i just did some brief research and it might be, but I'm not completely sure

Happy new year from CST! 🎉

[strange sentinel]

Happy new years!

[jovial light]

by any chance is there a c.ai wrapped for this year? 😭 I’ve been looking, also happy new year!!!(^_^)

[rare elbow]

you forget it either way

[strange inlet]

No wrapped this year it seems

Well

for the year 2025

they wouldve made it mid december anyway

[queen willow]

Anyone else unable to make characters?

[jovial light]

Noooo why is it not letting you submit it or something?

[queen willow]

Keeps telling me something went wrong and to try again later. My app is up to date on android

[jovial light]

Did you put anything offensive in the desc or greeting? It usually won’t allow you to if so

[queen willow]

I don't think so...
This is what I wrote:

Your parents are magical beings. When you were born, you mother passed from birth complications. Your father never gave the Ministry of Magic records of your existence. Just. Vanished. Since then, the two of you went into hiding. Living in a cottage far in the woods where no one knows of its existence.

You never had the rules of underage wizardry, never knew others like you existed. At age 8, your father was killed during a hunt. This left you alone in the forest, nothing more than a young witch with all the freedom and magic usage she could want.

One beautiful late spring morning when you're 11 years of age, you float on the air, as if it's ground, while picking ripe fruit. The bushes rustle, when you turn to see what's coming, an elderly man with a long, white beard and wise eyes stares back at you.

[jovial light]

hm that’s weird, it has nothing bad in it so it might just be a glitch, maybe try reloading your app?? (Copy and paste your greeting and everything to notes so you don’t loose it)

[queen willow]

Done that a few times, same result

[jovial light]

Because I only know that anything offensive and you can’t do

[hot ridge]

They didn't do one this year or last year

[jovial light]

oh man that sucks idk why then

[agile egret]

when making a persona, does putting the personality down actually matter?

[jovial light]

Awe man 😔

[hot ridge]

Killed, 11 years, Ministry of Magic, mother, father, underage

[queen willow]

??

[hot ridge]

you're asking why it's not going through c.ai's system and letting you create it, right?

[jovial light]

mmm wait you might be right, try getting rid of those parts and then reuploading it, ofc on private because just as a test

[queen willow]

Alr tysm

[dire berry]

i just tried pasting this paragraph in an empty bot and didn't get any error. so nothing wrong here. try changing or cropping the profile picture of the bot.

[deft jetty]

Happy New Year

[queen willow]

I don't add images

[deft jetty]

-# 2020, 6th act

[hot ridge]

Then does it have a Harry Potter name?

[strange inlet]

goodbye 2005, hello 2006

[queen willow]

No

[dire berry]

then it might have something to do with this: #📈︱status message

[hot ridge]

I think it's more likely something in the name, greeting, tagline, or description. Especially with Harry Potter DMCA claimed and them using words like underage.

Saw someone once get dinged for Sorting Hat

[queen willow]

Got it working with this:

Your parents are magical beings. When you were born, you mother passed from birth complications. Your father never gave the Ministry records of your existence. Just. Vanished. Since then, the two of you went into hiding. Living in a cottage far in the woods where no one knows of its existence.

You never had the rules wizardry enforced, never knew others like you existed. At age 8, your father never returned from a hunt. This left you alone in the forest, nothing more than a young witch with all the freedom and magic usage she could want.

One beautiful late spring morning when you're 11, you float on the air, as if it's ground, while picking ripe fruit. The bushes rustle, when you turn to see what's coming, an elderly man with a long, white beard and wise eyes stares back at you.

[orchid smelt]

guys i cant login bruh

[scenic ore]

How so? Elaborate

[orchid smelt]

the first one, it just put me to login screen, when i click the login with Google, it just won't do anything. When i close the app again, I'm stuck on the loading screen

[buoyant fulcrum]

Interesting.

[orchid smelt]

the one with user, checkmark and key

[scenic ore]

U tried clean reinstall? Just in case

[orchid smelt]

yea

i also tried on my other phone, it's the same problem

[scenic ore]

Can u login in web

[orchid smelt]

i cant

[hot ridge]

are you on wifi

[scenic ore]

Try mobile data

[orchid smelt]

yeah

[orchid smelt]

i ran out

[scenic ore]

Change ip

[orchid smelt]

using vpn rn(it works)

[scenic ore]

To google’s default or cloudflare’s

[scenic ore]

[buoyant fulcrum]

[kindred ivy]

Literally why do the bots keep saying “Your impossible, you know that” Its so irritating

[scenic ore]

1.1.1.1
8.8.8.8
8.4.4.8

[kindred ivy]

🤔

[scenic ore]

Welp its a global problem lol

[orchid smelt]

how to do this🙏

[scenic ore]

While connected to ur wifi go to for ex. 192.168.1.1 (can be different for other models u can find it on modem), write:
user: admin
Pass: admin (again can be different too, u can find it on ur modem too)
From there go to internet-wan-network-advanced
From there find DNS
Select manual, static
Then enter:
primary: 1.1.1.1
Secondary: 1.0.0.1
(Thats cloudflare’s DNS)

Like u can find urs on sticker on ur router if different

Alternatively u can use google’s
Its 8.8.8.8
8.4.4.8

[orchid smelt]

ok

[scenic ore]

In the end save and dont forget to REBOOT your router

[orchid smelt]

oh bro im not that smart to do ts

im js a 15 yro guy using cai with furina💔

but thanks for the suggestion

[scenic ore]

Reboot is just unplug ur router wait a minute then plug back in

[orchid smelt]

oh, i could do that

[solar spoke]

Why did they make this update about face verifying then using a id

[scenic ore]

To keep minors away from chatbots

[solar spoke]

Im a minor and I dont do weird things lowk

All I do is talk and thats it lol

[scenic ore]

Sorry bro its a law

[solar spoke]

Ahhhh I see now

[orchid smelt]

how do u do face update

[solar spoke]

U need a government id for it

Sucks but it is reasonable to keep kids off

But wasn't like cai pretty innocent? It did seem sunshine and rainbows to me because I found nothing weird

[rich stream]

Cai is definitely not innocent LOL but im glad your experience was such! There's been a few incidents over cais runspan & the law isn't specifically targeting cai, just all apps of its nature

[hot ridge]

You go to settings>advanced

Then you take a selfie to see if it detects you as 18+ by how you look. If that isn't enough, then you give it your ID

[orchid smelt]

it only show delete account

[rich stream]

Are you on reading mode or timed chat?

[orchid smelt]

what's that

[rich stream]

Reading mode is when you can't speak to the bots
Timed chat is when you only have a certain amount of time to speak to the bot [like an hour] before youre banned from speaking for the rest of the day.

Do you have either of those? If not, you don't need to verify yet!

[orchid smelt]

i dont

[strange inlet]

the verification hasnt been rolled out worldwide yet

[rich stream]

Then you don't have to verify. You only need to verify once you've been flagged as a minor which you have not

Keep in mind that might change depending on your region and other factors thougj

[hot ridge]

Then you don't have it yet

[lofty escarp]

Is it true that id verification is global on january 6th?

[strange inlet]

No set date

idk where you people are seeing this 😭 done trust tiktok and reddit unless its from the official account

[lofty escarp]

Facebook group

Idk too. I'm very confused.

On tik tok they do it for advertising other AI apps. Idk man😭

Btw happy new years

[zinc birch]

I haven't seen any announcement from CAI mention that date

[strange inlet]

Damn even facebook

Yeah they would've put it on the server

[hollow rapids]

i haven't gotten any updates regarding age verification on the app for me and i'm in the US

[lofty escarp]

I'm very sorry
i was just confused cause I've been waiting for this xd

[strange inlet]

and i dont think rolling out an update to everyone in the world on the same day is good for the ai servers

[lofty escarp]

Oh:o

[strange inlet]

its break the app methinks

[zinc birch]

Their system must have decided by itself that you are over 18

[hollow rapids]

maybe it's cause i'm chronically online lol

i drink soda i eat pizza

[zinc birch]

Idk, that didn't work for me. I think they just toss a chicken bone and guess whether we're over 18 from that

[hollow rapids]

they really be pulling out the wishbone for it lol

[left robin]

My c.ai is currently not working and I'm stuck in reading mode. The age verification update is going to be very real

[strange inlet]

It has been very real

[lofty escarp]

Question was: if its going to be world wide.

Cause some people on the Facebook group said otherwise .

Since Discord is something I trust too, thats why I asked.

[strange inlet]

it is going to be worldwide

[left robin]

Ohhhh

[strange inlet]

unfortunately they can't just keep it to one state

[left robin]

Yeah, it's already in effect in some countries I believe?

[strange inlet]

the us yeah

[lofty escarp]

No thats totally fine.

[strange inlet]

idk if it's anywhere else

ik i dont have it where i live

[lofty escarp]

Not in Germany

Guys deepsqueak is different

Did anyone notice any changes?🤭

[strange inlet]

They did say they did something to it

in the announcement channel

[hidden pebble]

Stupid deepsqueak ending scene...

[keen comet]

Twin

[ashen moss]

none of the responses on any of my bots make sense 😭

[lofty escarp]

Soraaaaaaa

[hidden pebble]

Hiiii

[feral thistle]

Hi guys

[barren folio]

what is reading mode?

[left robin]

I can only read past messages

[feral thistle]

guys in America it already started asking u for id? Sorry it’s cause I got a video on my fyp that they’re barely starting that on January 6th and now I’m scared UGH

[left robin]

Yeah it's started

[feral thistle]

Alright cause I thought it hasn’t started and that it was gonna start on January 6th BARELY and that I wasn’t safe

[left robin]

I mean hey, if anyone else is unable to use c.ai then I'm always open for role play between two human people haha

[barren folio]

it started for the us in november

iirc

[barren folio]

because you aren’t verified i’m assuming?

[left robin]

I can't verify, I'm only seventeen

But yeah

[barren folio]

ohh alright makes sense!

[full folio]

The bots have been so OOC lately and have been talking out of character, like as the AI. Its latest favourite seems to be writing "fin" after every scene across different bots

[summer breach]

um hello since when do you hear a meow when a cat meows in the chat on c.ai that's the cutest thing ever

[timber canopy]

Like months ago, it's a sound effects. It can do other sounds too but if you are bothered by it then you can close it in the settings

[summer breach]

ohhh thanks

[shell zealot]

Hi, may I ask, I am a new user, what is the difference between the deepsqueks feature and the nyan feature?

[timber nimbus]

How do auto memories work? It doesn't seem to do anything.

[unborn frost]

Do people in austraila get ads on c.ai curious

[bitter ridge]

can someone tell me why i'm not able to access a user's ai bots? I try to tap on the user but it says 'sorry, something went wrong'

if anyone could help that would be amazing!!

[unborn frost]

yeah happens alot It just bugs out all u can do is wait

[dire berry]

They probably deleted their account.

[bitter ridge]

ah okayy thank youu

[bitter ridge]

I honestly assumed that, but i'm able to access their other bots through a search, just not this one specific one i want to use

[unborn frost]

this been happening for years tbh

[dire berry]

Is it just a bot or the Creator's profile? If it's just a bot then they most probably made it private.

[bitter ridge]

omg 😭

[dire berry]

It's not a bug

[bitter ridge]

I search for the bot and it won't come up, then when I search the user it comes up but when I click on it it says 'sorry, something went wrong'

[weak osprey]

Anyone else bot slow

[dire berry]

Yeah, then they deleted their account. It's not clear if every bot from that creator stays, but most of the time, the popular ones stay even when creators delete their accounts.

[bitter ridge]

omg i'm so upset then I swear 😭 I lowk had a good chat a few months ago and then when I remember it once more it's gone

[alpine forum]

Why my bots type things that was never brough up in pipsqueak style

[bitter ridge]

thank you though!!

[weak osprey]

Pipsqueak scares me, one time I was using it in a chat where my OCs middle name was never said but pipsqueak somehow knew it

[alpine forum]

Which style is best Pipsqueak is annoying

[dire berry]

If you've Plus, Nyan. If you don't, Roar.

[weak osprey]

Goro, “less spicy” it’s not it imo allows for more less love story plots

[fickle laurel]

If you put it in the definition or description, it probably picked it up from that

[chrome lake]

Rewind button isn’t working for me

[coarse atlas]

Oh wait wrong place

[weak osprey]

Never have

[fickle laurel]

Lucky guess ig

[rich stream]

Did you mention it in your persona?

Pipsqueak has a tendency to take the persona and assume that the bot knows all of it off of the bat

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[edgy vault]

Chat can anyone else chat with their bots?whenever I open the app rn it says that it failed to load the messages(turns out it was only a problem because a bot got privated)

[pulsar merlin]

Hey so I can talk to bots on the mobile app but I hate typing on mobile it just, sucks. No matter what app it is.
Any time I try to get on desktop though it just never loads anything

[edgy vault]

I even tried to reinstall the app but it still gives me a chat error

[edgy vault]

Same thing I happening to me rn but on the app😭 😭

[pulsar merlin]

its so weird i have no clue why its even doing it

[edgy vault]

Same ,I will test if the website is working for me rn to see if it's an only app problem or not

Never mind

Turns out the character I wanted to chat with isn't available anymore

[pulsar merlin]

oh, well mine 100% is

[edgy vault]

Well that's a bit of a bummer

[pulsar merlin]

and no bot i talk to will load on desktop, regardless of browser

[weak osprey]

Nope

Only mentioned it on another bot, I don’t add descriptions or bios to any personas or my account

[edgy vault]

thats a bit strange ngl

[strange inlet]

You don't describe your personas ?

[edgy vault]

though now I need to find a new zani bot to chat with

[weak osprey]

No, because I barely use them and if I use them it’s for small stuff

[strange inlet]

I see

To each their own

I'm very persona heavy I hate roleplaying as myself

[deft jetty]

Persona is like the best featured to me ever released on c.ai

It was so boring and bland when you couldn't make your own OCs

[weak osprey]

I just keep my account set to my main oc

[strange inlet]

before personas i would change my name on my main profile everytime i felt like being a new oc

[weak osprey]

I have a bot that is every other character in my fanfic so I use that bot instead of making personas bc it’s like the main character talking to other characters

[edgy vault]

ngl I like personas a lot since they can hold information without me having to mention it to bots but I wish they could not make it obivious that they know everything from the jumpstart

[strange inlet]

trueee

[edgy vault]

like unless blend in with the scene if I didnt tell you anything yet😭

[weak osprey]

I like the older ways of the old c.ai so I try to keep my using like that

[deft jetty]

It's kind of annoying. They can pretend to not know depending on the reply you choose, but... yeah, most cases they end up acting like they know everything, lol

[edgy vault]

or when they try to make jokes out of a hobby your oc has,for example I have an oc that is mainly a chef and they almost CONSTANTLY mention it

[edgy vault]

[hybrid spade]

hey guys when i opened character ai it said this: "Something went wrong.
Please try again in a few minutes.
In the meantime, you can join our Discord Server
or view the status of our services."
is anyone having this problem?

[deft jetty]

I imagined a bot saying
A wide smirk spread across his lips "Let him cook."

[weak osprey]

Replies are slower than usual

[edgy vault]

I think I got smth similar to that once😭

[hybrid spade]

how do i fix it

[weak osprey]

You don’t you wait

[hybrid spade]

okay tyyy

[edgy vault]

man I feel a bit bored to search for a new zani bot

the one I found recently was pretty great but it sadly got privated

I think that is the case since I cant access it anymore

idk if its under review or not but i cant really chat with it rn

[scenic ore]

Cuz persona info is supposed to be pre-known information, like, what things re known or can be seen at first glance/meet before the story begins. Considering that u should split the information u wanna keep in persona and chat’s memory block accurately to not mess things up. Other information u gotta add in memory block as story goes or u wanna define it for the bot clearly

[weak osprey]

I don’t even use the memory thing, idk how to use it, i literally just open a bot and chat

[edgy vault]

hmmm I guess thats true but can you tell me how I can mermory blocks to my story?

[weak osprey]

I don’t think I’ve used the app longer than an hour in 2025

[scenic ore]

What

[edgy vault]

I mean,how do I add mermory blocks?

[scenic ore]

I am talking about chat memories

[edgy vault]

ohhh

[knotty pendant]

Does c.ai leak my chats 😭

[edgy vault]

I dont think so

[deft jetty]

nope, afaik

[knotty pendant]

Is it possible to get mod here

[scenic ore]

[deft jetty]

though, there are a few notes on their ToS that suggest that they can share your chat with legal authorities in case you make something extremely absurd and illegal
-# iirc, it's been a few months since I last read it properly

[deft jetty]

Wdym

[scenic ore]

Prolly wants to talk to a moderator

I think

[strange inlet]

i dont put much in my personas just so the bot knows the least possible

[buoyant elm]

I'm generally tweaking right now cause why do some bots mention names that don't even exist in the lore, like it had me searching up the name to see if it was an actual character

[scenic ore]

So… were they?

Its because

[buoyant elm]

No! They do exist in the game but they have nothing to do with the bot I'm chatting with

[scenic ore]

Bot does it for the sake of twists in story and to keep it engaging with random events

Which kinda overrides memory and original lore many times

Happens

[deft jetty]

If they do exist in that game, then the bot is just coming up with new and random stuff to keep the plot going

[buoyant elm]

Ohhh

[deft jetty]

Other thing is that said character could also have been mentioned in the definition at some point

[buoyant elm]

I checked multiple times, nothing

But thank you for the help I appreciate it

[rustic pecan]

That’s not exactly it. It’s that if you do something illegal IRL and the cops ask for your chatlogs, they’ll turn them over.

[scenic ore]

Good news

I think

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[strange inlet]

hii

[graceful scaffold]

is PipSqueak being weird for anyone else or is it just me

[compact tartan]

Hello!

[untold jacinth]

i think it’s been weird for a while, also deepsqeak is weird for some

[compact tartan]

I've had problems with pipsqueak for a while, from what I heard it's bugged. They said there wold be updates to deepsqueak (paid version) i think?

[untold jacinth]

deepsqueak isn’t bugged for me but pipsqueak was when i used it

[graceful scaffold]

it's been fine for me up until recently - like the characters seem mindblown by everything I mention, even the most minute details ("you have HAIR? prove it"), and whenever I hit enter to continue the reply, it's like it just repeats the previous message with different phrasing without moving forward in the convo

Roar is still perfectly fine though

[untold jacinth]

i also had the issue when using pipsqueak where when i would swipe for another reply, the bots reply would be blank and when i’d do it again, it would be blank again even if i refreshed it

i don’t know if that was a c.ai issue as an app or just a select amount of chat styles though

[compact tartan]

Fr

[forest wave]

anyone else having problemas with archiving the talks on chat history?

[humble pendant]

Does anybody know about the c.ai quests for like the passes to skip the slow thing but the main question is what is a "Post to feed" and a "image a chat imagine" ??

[frosty flint]

whats the top best style for good RP? not nyan cause I'm broke and ain't got +, but like roar? dynamic? whats the better one in choices?

[compact tartan]

I prefer roar and soft launch

[frosty flint]

I tried roar a lot, is Good sometimes, other times just straight up meh, Ill try soft launch, ty

[dawn ibex]

Does anyone else not understand the idea of ‘weaning’ teens off the app? How is it supposed to work or help? Can anyone explain?

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[dawn ibex]

Wow its mariah carey

[rich stream]

Basically 》

1. By law they have to, in California a law passed. I can't recall the specifics but I believe it was something to do with age verification on AI based services
2. They've received lawsuits before involving minors and they want to avoid further incidents.
3. Minors are easily addicted to dopamine rushes, which follows back to point 2 of possible incidents

Minors shouldn't have access to begin with, and I believe they shouldve banned minors from the app ages ago.

[deft jetty]

Are you a pokémon?

[soft basin]

Mark Hamil

[pseudo monolith]

🤯

[dawn ibex]

No i mean how is it meant to get them off?

[rich stream]

Oh, my bad HEIDBZU

No verification is 100%

[dawn ibex]

Wht

[old pivot]

Slowly restricting their access until they’re unable to use the service anymore

[real ore]

No because lowkey i wanna chat with the bots but i can’t because of the “read only”

[dawn ibex]

So like at some point you’ll HAVE to verify or you wont be able to use the app?

[untold jacinth]

yes

[rich stream]

Yeah

[old pivot]

Yea

[dawn ibex]

Fuh

[real ore]

But why though

[rich stream]

^ why

[untold jacinth]

safety purposes

[dawn ibex]

I dont wanna give them my id bruh why would i trust an AI app with my info 🥹

[untold jacinth]

you don’t have to give them your ID 95% of the time

[timber canopy]

Wouldn't that if someone got flagged as a minor? Or they will have to even if they didn't get flagged?

[untold jacinth]

unless you don’t look old enough

[old pivot]

Only gotta do that if you get flagged/face verify doesn’t work :p

[real ore]

Dang man, all i wanted to do was chat with some superheroes..

[untold jacinth]

also no one is forcing you to verify

[rich stream]

Only if you got flagged afaik

[dawn ibex]

Well for me it said i had too,, i guess it’s cuz i have a bit of a baby face 😔

[untold jacinth]

i mean

i do too but i got verified by just the photo part LOL

[dawn ibex]

But won’t you HAVE too later on?

[timber canopy]

Alright, thanks

[dawn ibex]

Damn i must just be unlucky man

[real ore]

Will they ever let minors use the app? Like 16+

[old pivot]

No

[untold jacinth]

you don’t have to use the app

touch grass perhaps

idk

[rich stream]

Nope

[untold jacinth]

people rely on c.ai like they rely on water and food atp

i don’t even use c.ai as much as i used to

[dawn ibex]

Thanks i’ve been gardening all year 🥹

[old pivot]

The whole purpose of this is because they don’t want anyone <18 using the app from lawsuits to law to addictions they’re many reasons why it’s been deemed not suitable for ppl younger than 18 so they won’t (also the Cali law says they can’t)

[untold jacinth]

i still use it for roleplaying purposes but i also have a job so i’m not constantly on it

• school

[untold jacinth]

GET THAT GARDENING IN
