💭︱cai-discussion

[misty gorge]

Bro the whole of September last year I didn't use c.ai, to test if I was truly addicted, I'm not

[queen gorge]

Slowly going global more than likely. Staged roll out

[native eagle]

compared to other ai chatbot apps/websites cai is actually the most generous

[rancid oyster]

Yeah I don't like how some people (not everyone) blame the kid for what's going on now, it was nobody's fault. The kid had struggles and unfortunately isn't here anymore, running his name through the dirt is just horrible.

[tame marsh]

If most get the popup then that app will unfortunately get popular.

[compact tartan]

Guys please promoting other services are against the rules i dont want ppl to get in trouble

💔

[silver echo]

And I bet you went back to using it every hour in October?

[vast silo]

Um... no? Some people struggle to get out of the habit which is why ||rehab|| is a thing

[compact tartan]

Yes i agree

[silver echo]

I’m not promoting it.

[autumn peak]

Ohh, okay. So i guess it‘ll hit me sooner or later but right now i‘ll be safe. I hope i‘ll just pass automatically, i really don’t want to show my id.

[rancid oyster]

Addiction is not an easy thing to just forget, it can take days, months, years or a lifetime.

[misty gorge]

Not every hour, jeez I have a life, I mainly Watch minecraft videos and hangout with my friends or play roblox or minecraft

[queen gorge]

You get to choose between facial scan or ID. ID becomes mandatory if facial scan fails

[silver echo]

It only happens if you act like a kid. Just act like a normal person

[vast silo]

-# guys whats soft launch I feel stupid😭

[errant adder]

I haven’t got ads or verification or anything on cai I’m scared 💔

[silver echo]

How old are you? Watching Minecraft and roblox? I’m starting to think you won’t pass the age check.

[autumn peak]

Does anyone know the type of characters you chat with matters? Like if they are from an 18+ franchise like idk resident evil or smth

[compact tartan]

can confirm i am an addict myself (not to chatbots)

[tranquil lantern]

They could’ve lowered the chances of the ads which is good no one would use an app with so many ads

[vast silo]

People can have lower mental ages than their actual age or they just like the content 😭

[silver echo]

Nah. As long as you don’t type like a Gen Alpha brain rot kiddie you should be cool.

[native eagle]

I watch minecraft sometimes and play roblox... checks ID

[autumn peak]

I have a baby face so i‘ll definitiv have to show my id. I just hope i‘ll pass right through

[errant adder]

At least they’re finding a source of comfort outside of cai though? Don’t hate someone for their interests

[compact tartan]

You can go on web to not see ads

[vast silo]

They're gonna add ads now because of you... how dare you😪

[compact tartan]

id rather someone find interests outside of c.ai. Plus why hate on someone for playing video games 😭

[misty gorge]

I'm not telling my age due to privacy, but I assure you I'm over 13, let a girl have her interests

[compact tartan]

exactly

[silver echo]

I’m not. I’m just saying if they do that stuff theyre probably under 17 and shouldn’t be in c.ai

[leaden basin]

I mean, I think it’s easier to quit cai than any other addictions in my opinion. It’s just an app and you can always delete it. Of course the urge to download it will always be with you, but it’s easier than to quit smoking for example! Correct me if im wrong. :D

[hollow quest]

hey so i dont trust persona AT ALL and especially dont trust this app with my id. probably gonna quit. ai writing is one thing but i dont want my face to be trained for ai. theres a difference imo between having my writing training ai and having my face on a database to train ai.

[silver echo]

Then you probably shouldn’t be on c.ai.

[compact tartan]

Not everyone who plays video games is -18

[vast silo]

Cough youtubers cough!

[compact tartan]

dude making fun of someone who plays video games who doesn't want to share their age sighs

[autumn peak]

Okay good, just a lil worried there i‘ll have to show my id. I just make some grammar mistakes sometimes, but thats bc English isn’t my first language. But i guess the algorithm that checking it will take the location and all that into account

[carmine lotus]

It deletes your ID afterwards I’ve heard from a lot of people

[tranquil lantern]

That agree on

[silver echo]

You should be good.

[polar orbit]

So I lost access to edit but I still have access to pipsqueek and soft launch, am I cooked?

[silver echo]

Nah they keep it to train the ai.

[vast silo]

I'm like very English and I just mistype so often but I just instantly delete it and redo it

[errant adder]

But the comment was unnecessary,, u never know how it could affect someone you don’t need to point out the things they like if it’s something that helps them

[carmine lotus]

Definitely not lol

[leaden basin]

Nope. They delete it after a week

[rancid oyster]

While true, it is easier to quit c.ai more than smoking. Some can find it twice as difficult, but it's for everyone's perspective :D

[silver echo]

Thats long enough to train an ai on it.

[vast silo]

Ohhh thats what soft launch is okay

[solid tiger]

Did they change the suicide hotline thing?

[vast silo]

I'm sorry what

[tranquil lantern]

Yeah

[tame marsh]

I feel like the only reason why I didn’t need to do the popup was because I have ship bots. So yk I do nothing questionable it’s platonic.

[solid tiger]

Ohhhh

[tranquil lantern]

No more epic villian roleplays

[silver echo]

How did they change it?

[autumn peak]

Nah bc i usually go on cai at night and then my brain is fried from school and my grammar in both german and english is horrible

[polar orbit]

Can someone tell me if I’m cooked?

I lost access to chat both in app and on website. But I still have access to soft launch and pipsqueak

[vast silo]

I love German I'm gonna try and get my gf to teach me it when I finish my exams

[misty gorge]

Why did this go from saying I was just going to move on from c.ai and it was fine to arguing that I shouldn't be using c.ai and that it's childish to play roblox and minecraft.

[silver echo]

Make a new account fr. Thats your only hope if you don’t wanna have your identity stolen.

[vast silo]

I have like 3 accounts unintentionally

[compact tartan]

fr

[tame marsh]

What’s English.

[compact tartan]

i love german too!

[rancid oyster]

Making a new account won't really help, that account could be flagged too.

[vast silo]

The language we're speaking now...😭

[polar orbit]

Damn. Was fun while it lasted. I’ll just find other alternatives

[leaden basin]

Yes, but they dont train the ai with ID 😭😭 it learns from other people (rp, for example). The ai will try to adjust to your style, thats how it learns. The more people it talks with -> the more it learns. Thats why most people ‘train’ (talk) their bots before making them public. It’s not learning from ID’s

[tranquil lantern]

Words

[autumn peak]

Its a goofy language sometimes and i wish you good luck learning it. As a native speaker i can tell you its not as hard as it looks once you get the groove

[silver echo]

I mean, if you act like a kid, yeah.

[native eagle]

maybe english is the friends we made along the way

[vast silo]

Thank you :D

[vast silo]

It was the wind

-# ts was NAWT me

[lofty roost]

tbh the ads on the app made it feel trashy, having an ad play if I changed which character I was talking to made it feel like a lower quality app overall

[silver echo]

The one piece is real! (Side note but istg if they make the one piece the friends we made along the way I’m gonna crash out)

[compact tartan]

Chemical addictions like dr*gs can give you a high, or in smoking nicotine's case, a dopamine hit. Chatbots or screens in general give brains a dopamine hit. I think it depends on the person what addiction is harder to quit

[native eagle]

I forget one piece is a thing. I ate the piece they can stop looking

[vast silo]

I just haven't watched one piece

[lofty roost]

I stayed on the old site for as long as it allowed me to since the old ui was easier on the eyes imo

[leaden basin]

True! I didnt think about this at all, lol.

[compact tartan]

i say this as an addict myself that you can be pyschologically dependent or addicted to things that are not chemicals

[vast silo]

I haven't finished a single anime... Got to s6 of mha, s2 of jjk, s4 of hq, s3 of demon slayer and I started persona 4 the other day lol

[silver echo]

Yeah but like, if you’re addicted to an ai you have other problems.

[compact tartan]

im just explaining the differences between chemical addiction and that

[misty gorge]

Anyways bye yall I'm just gonna go watch a minecraft smp I need to finish watching it and get to the finale IM CLOSE to that thank god

[compact tartan]

i am not personally addicted to ai

[vast silo]

When I think of people addicted to substances I lowkey think of House...

[native eagle]

I looove cai web, but I'm sad there's no pfp of your persona when you send a message

[compact tartan]

LOLLL what

[tame marsh]

What generally happens if you type old.character.ai now? Does it glitch? Does it take you to an old c.ai web?

[vast silo]

Like he refused to stop using until he saw Raymond Jacob Holt and Lin Manuel Miranda...😭

[silver echo]

I can’t send images here but if I could I would send the image of house in the dark covering that child’s mouth.

[carmine lotus]

There is

[vast silo]

OH GOODNESS STOP😭

[compact tartan]

hamilton metion

[carmine lotus]

Unless it’s because I’m on a tablet? Idk

[queen gorge]

-# Aymee !! Long time no see

[vast silo]

And Brooklyn Nine Nine too😈

[native eagle]

not on mobile 😔

[rancid oyster]

I can't speak for everyone here about it, but coming from a family that has problems? Sometimes dysfunctional families or having no friends play a role in it, maybe that person who is addicted has social anxiety or are unfortunately bullied that made them untrustworthy of other people. But it's different for everyone :)

[silver echo]

YES

[tame marsh]

I am going to search rn y’all

[carmine lotus]

-# Ben! Hi! How are you??

[lofty roost]

iirc it just straight up doesn't work, I was genuinely annoyed when they shut down the old site since the old ui was easier to navigate and looked better

[queen gorge]

-# I'm good !! About to leave this chat cause it's going too fast for me 😭 Wbu ??

[vast silo]

Ngl the closest thing I've done to roleplay with people I know was help right a fanfic about my friends

[silver echo]

Ngl I think the devs are going in the wrong direction, like Roblox is rn. Theyre gonna run the app into the ground at this rate, especially if they pretty much ban all the minors.

[native eagle]

as long as they don't take the website version down entirely I don't have an issue with the divide between website and app

[carmine lotus]

-# same, lmao. And I’m good! Just recovered from sepsis so that’s fun…

[tame marsh]

It does work for me but it’s only the verify your human. After that it redirects you to the new website.

[vast silo]

Yeah because people can easily fabricate anything but in this case they can't because of ID unless they use a parebts

[carmine lotus]

I am now, lol. I wasn’t 😭

[silver echo]

I had sepsis once. My appendix exploded and poisoned me with gangrenous shit.

[rancid oyster]

I'd rather ban all minors and make sure no more lawsuits happen over kids doing the unthinkable than c.ai shutting down forever.

[vast silo]

I just have epilepsy holy

[tame marsh]

Are you okay man

[silver echo]

It was 3 years ago I’m good

[vast silo]

Hm yeah because we can always wait

[misty gorge]

Btw quick comment before I go, guys, children will use c.ai at a young age, and they will get addicted, or they will use it alot because it brings them comfort because if they've found c.ai, its probably because they are in a tough spot, you can't judge said kids because of being exposed for stuff at a young age.

[native eagle]

it's not entirely cai's choice either, they DO have to abide by cali ai laws lel

[silver echo]

Holy essay

[silver echo]

What about people not in cali?

[carmine lotus]

Mine was my fault. I felt really unwell and ignored it, assuming it would go away. Then 3 weeks later, I was white as paper, couldn’t wake up, and my partner dragged me to the hospital

[vast silo]

And again people have genetics that say that they are more likely to be addicts to whatever

[vast silo]

Thank goodness for your partner

[silver echo]

I went after 3 days because I couldn’t walk, eat, sleep, drink, and I was throwing up.

[lofty roost]

yeah I see that, honestly things were at their best when it was still beta.character.ai, web only, and a much smaller thing, the ai laws are mostly just because parents don't care to explain or support their kids so they have nothing else to use and get overly attached to an ai

[rancid oyster]

Those who aren't in California still have to verify as the law is going global.

-# It technically already is

[vale mirage]

The app is... taking forever to open

[silver echo]

Honestly people are just gonna start migrating to other ai apps, this one is gonna run into the ground at this point.

[vast silo]

Yeah but it's stigmatised so much that people are scared to say that they use it to anyone

[carmine lotus]

Yeah, it really sucks. It’s not nice to have and I hope people who have symptoms don’t be stupid like I was and go straight to a hospital

[tranquil lantern]

Sad really, parents need to not give children technology until the age of 13

[silver echo]

You had appendicitis for 3 weeks?

[dry condor]

Yo does anyone know a potential reason why the website gives me an error and says its not working.. but the app isnt?

[vast silo]

Exactly I already accidentally said my age earlier but I got discord when I was 11...

[carmine lotus]

No, lol. Sepsis. It was caused by an infection that I ignored that I assumed would just go away

[dry condor]

At first it only said it for profile

[lofty roost]

yeah, but I was saying that kids would get overly attached to ai if they had nobody to talk to answer their parents didn't care to support them properly

[dry condor]

But now its also for the entire website

[tranquil lantern]

Dowg…

[vast silo]

It's a horrendous cycle

[silver echo]

I can still chat.

[tame marsh]

Do people actually believe because they aren’t in that country they can d whatever

[vast silo]

I blame my friend on roblox okay...

[dry condor]

Yeah but i cant

[silver echo]

Yeah somebody is gonna report him.

[tranquil lantern]

Blaming real hard

[vast silo]

I'm a girl but thankssss😭

[silver echo]

Dude somebody is gonna report you. Now that you’ve said that youre basically guaranteed to be banned.

[tranquil lantern]

💔

[errant adder]

I think bro likes bakugo

[tranquil lantern]

Just abit

[errant adder]

Uraraka my Shayla

[vast silo]

I don't think my cai email is linked to this acc 😭

[silver echo]

No. On discord,

Youre gonna get banned on discord

[rancid oyster]

-# Some, not all.

[vast silo]

Oh no they actually dont care atp

[lofty roost]

overall most of these invasive child protection laws are caused by parental incompetence or negligence,

[vast silo]

Look at when I joined and you'll see I'm not that age

[tranquil lantern]

Brooooo fatgum when he’s not using his quirk

[lofty roost]

only if she's still under 13 rn, which I'm guessing she isn't

[silver echo]

You just admitted that you were under 13 when you joined discord, youre gonna get banned, Ive been banned in the past for saying that same thing as a joke.

[tame marsh]

Not all friend,

[errant adder]

PRESENT MIC BROO MY GOAT

[silver echo]

Yeah they don’t check that. They see that you said you were under 13 when you joined and they ban. (If someone reports you)

[tranquil lantern]

YESSS

[vast silo]

Whoops!!! I'm about to be 16 now anyway sooo

[tranquil lantern]

All of you are so young what

[vast silo]

Let's hope someone's not that evil to do that because it's lowkey just stupid cause like blame my parents rather than me

[errant adder]

How old is bro I’m scared

[misty gorge]

Btw rlly different change of subject, is that a QSMP pfp or am I tripping?

[tranquil lantern]

My bio-

[silver echo]

It doesn’t matter how old you are now, they just care that you WERE here when you were under 13

[vast silo]

No its a dsmp pfp

[vast silo]

Yah no I understand that now

[rancid oyster]

It is a qsmp profile :)

[misty gorge]

Do not DO NOT mention dsmp near me

[errant adder]

I think half the cai users were under 13 when they started😭

[silver echo]

Yeah. I guess we can just hope, and make sure to back up your friends usernames, just in case.

[silver echo]

I mean on discord.

[rancid oyster]

Or just overall a Luzu, Quackity and Tilín profile pic.

[vast silo]

I have an alt account it's okay

[lofty roost]

that's like arresting someone for petty theft when they were a kid

[silver echo]

They can track your IP and ban that one too,

[vast silo]

Well that's still silly

[vast silo]

Okay thats true...

[errant adder]

Vpn

[silver echo]

Doesn’t work like that

They’re both registered under the same IP

[errant adder]

-# Ik,,😔

[silver echo]

Doesn’t matter what your current IP is

[vast silo]

My account is all good in the standing bit😸

[lofty roost]

I was just shy of being 13 when I joined c.ai, I didn't see it as a problem at the time since I knew the ai chat bots weren't real people and was just doing it for fun

[vast silo]

So i'm chill for now

[silver echo]

Yeah, it takes a few hours. Check again tomorrow. It’ll say your account has been deactivated and you have to verify your age by emailing discord. If you have been reported that is.

[vast silo]

I pray🤞

[lofty roost]

idk maybe I'm just really smart for a college student since I understand that things said by a c.ai bot is fictional and that the bot itself isn't real

[silver echo]

Still back up your friends usernames.

[vast silo]

Many people should be able to understand that

[silver echo]

An 8 year old could understand that.

[native eagle]

fiction in general isn't real

[lofty roost]

yeah but a law was put through because apparently most people don't understand that

[vast silo]

I'd hope so...😭

Cause I'm pretty sure Godzilla is destroying Tokyo rn

Wrong time but who caressss

[tranquil lantern]

Sorry no that was me

[native eagle]

the AI craze made many go a little coo

[silver echo]

That was gorlock the destroyer looking for sushi.

[native eagle]

chatgpt psychosis..

[silver echo]

For real.

[lofty roost]

yeah, turns out the same kind of people who have nobody to talk to but ai, tend to be mentally vulnerable from the start

[vast silo]

I know the name but I don't remember who that is I'm sobbing

[silver echo]

Yeah. If you get addicted to an ai then you have other problems

[silver echo]

Look her up. You’ll recognise her.

[vast silo]

oh herrrrr

[silver echo]

Yeah.

Imagine her but 300 feet tall,

And destroying Tokyo looking for sushi.

[vast silo]

That'd be crazy

[silver echo]

It’s just Godzilla.

[lofty roost]

if someone got addicted to c.ai it's probably because they were using it to help with other issues, better ai chat bots than illegal substance, at least I think

[vast silo]

Lesser of two evils

But what is the outcome of like cai being used environmentally...

[silver echo]

I’m gonna go talk to more AI bots and hope that I don’t get flagged. I don’t want my id in some database, cant trust them not to have a data leak.

Or my face

[vast silo]

Good luck bud

Was gonna call you William for funsies but thought against it

[silver echo]

If I have to verify using ID then I’m just not gonna use c.ai

[silver echo]

I always come back.

[raw socket]

What is this new update oh my god

[silver echo]

Age verification.

[drowsy oasis]

👀

[tame marsh]

I am going to go to more ship bots so I tell C.ai I don’t want that popup (PLATONIC I AINT WEIRD)

[fallen gust]

that new update just jumpscared me while i came back from work, what in tarnation

[raw socket]

I'm not showing my face online

[lofty roost]

the uk pushing ai verification on everything just feels oppressive, glory to arstotska I guess

[silver echo]

Hey, at least people that have to verify can still go through and copy the introductions.

[raw socket]

It's literally just 1984 by now

[vast silo]

Another Brit...?

[silver echo]

My country is fucked up.

[tame marsh]

Roblox face verification 2.0

[silver echo]

Me too.

[vast silo]

What country are you in brother are you in the US

[silver echo]

UK.

[vast silo]

Oh...

[raw socket]

Face verification is actually so dumb and it's unsafe as hell

[silver echo]

I’m literally just William afton but not evil or smart enough to make anamatronics.

[vast silo]

My whole town is full of flags..

[tame marsh]

Soon I will need a face verification to breathe

[lofty roost]

sadly, I've known the world has been going downhill since I was 7

[fallen gust]

the whole process isnt safe i think

[raw socket]

Stop we're gonna need face verification to piss in public toilets

[silver echo]

Gonna need to verify using face and ID to drink water.

[vast silo]

Lmao I remember in February 2020 I had a dream smth would like happen to the world...

[silver echo]

Theyre gonna need our DNA eventually.

[tame marsh]

Need face verification to exist

[lofty roost]

yeah because it involves you having to touch something related to adult content, only adults can do that

[lofty roost]

that's just a birth certificate

[vast silo]

What if it lowkey misgenders you and says "GO TO THE OTHER BATHROOM" I can lwk see that happening if that was true😪

[silver echo]

To go to the bathroom is adult content?

[raw socket]

Can't you just use a fake image although whenever I do it it says "oh its too blurry" SIIIGHHH

[vast silo]

Nope!!

[vast silo]

Think of how guys use the bathroom...

[dense kestrel]

What have i entered lol

[silver echo]

Nah. They’d make it accurate. Trans people would be pretty mad though.

[fallen gust]

the thang is faulty, it shouldnt need the barcode, when it has a legal id?

[silver echo]

Standing up? It’s not exactly adult.

[tranquil lantern]

They have fun

[vast silo]

Am I gonna havd to explain in dms

[raw socket]

Man all these new updates just show how oppressive the world is today, like it's not even trying to "save kids" it's just taking everything from them

[silver echo]

You guys do know we aren’t shagging each other in the men’s bathroom right?

[vast silo]

HELP

[silver echo]

I don’t care if I get banned from here lol

[vast silo]

Didn't think they'd let that word slide

[silver echo]

Me too.

Woah they changed the reply thing on mobile

[vast silo]

You cant rlly say he blah blah to let out his bladder contents

That's anbit too descriptive

[lofty roost]

I was being satirical about how adult content is widening further and further

[silver echo]

Pissed? Peed? Urinated?

[vast silo]

Yah it's js funny

[vast silo]

I was being careful okay...

[lofty roost]

like how most kids content now is meant for people under the age of 8

[errant adder]

Js say It’s a roleplay or chat app or something

[fallen gust]

new word, micurate

[vast silo]

Guys dont the rules say we cant talk abt bypassing stuff

Idk dude

[raw socket]

Sigh

[silver echo]

Just say it’s an app for chatting to your friends. He’ll see walls of text and think you’re sharing essays or sum idk.

Damn it got deleted

[errant adder]

Gng What

[lofty roost]

I once called wattpad a 'community driven literature website' when trying to get it unbanned from my high school wifi when I first started

[raw socket]

Sorry mb

[vast silo]

LMAO

[raw socket]

I mean fair enough

[silver echo]

HAH

[lofty roost]

[vast silo]

Does anyone else who is in the uk have to lock up their phones x

[lofty roost]

[lofty roost]

[tranquil lantern]

Imagine still being in school thought… 💔

[vast silo]

[silver echo]

Dw. Theyre easy, chemistry fucking sucks tho.

[silver echo]

[raw socket]

Wait so what happens now, if you don't verify your age you'll be kicked off cai or have a set time limit for chatting

[vast silo]

Idm chem

I mean I applied for psychology, criminology, biology and maths

[rustic stirrup]

MF THATS THE BUTTON IM FUCKIN PRESSING

[silver echo]

If you get flagged as underage.

[lofty roost]

imo English was the worst gcse

[raw socket]

Oh right

[silver echo]

Restart the fuckin app then, idk.

[vast silo]

I was at a 4 and 5 last year but I got a new teacher and now I'm getting 6's

Y'all use the app? I only use the website the app just feels weird

[feral raven]

[vast silo]

According to my mums friend who teaches my year I'm one of my teachers top students...

[lofty roost]

[vast silo]

Peak!!!

[raw socket]

Ive been using the website since the old version before it was retired

[silver echo]

I use it on my phone because I’m not a psycho

It's just the government trying to control people it's so stupid (sorry for being political /srs)

[vast silo]

Cause I can plus it'll look better on my CV and stuff

[silver echo]

Nah u good twin.

[feral raven]

its annoying

[lofty roost]

damn, from my last mock to my final exam of it I went from a U to a 3, purely because I learned to overexplain things quote "as if the person marking it knows nothing about the subject"

[uneven turret]

Does it need id??

[vast silo]

Ah true they do say allat

[silver echo]

I forgot I had invincible running in the background and I missed like 2 episodes 💀

[raw socket]

Well that's what happens when we live in a capitalist society based around power and control, George Orwell wrote Animal Farm and 1984 for a reason

[uneven turret]

I’m scared

[lofty roost]

I was taught that by someone else, my English teachers were awful, they never actually taught anything useful and were just really loud people with hair triggers

[silver echo]

Yeah, if you got flagged.

[uneven turret]

I didn’t get flagged..?

[rustic stirrup]

Maybe the app hates WLW, because I tried it on a non WLW Bot and it rewound .-. But when I go back to the WLW bot IT WONT

[silver echo]

You did if you need to verify.

[vast silo]

Lowk my old teacher was fun but I couldn't learn but my new teachers boring and I learn

[silver echo]

Maybe that bot got banned as you were talking to it

[rustic stirrup]

It wasn’t anything bad?

[uneven turret]

I was on it a few minutes ago but my friend told me they need id

[vast silo]

Why did I add eveyry single bts song to my playlist oh my god

[silver echo]

Also side rant because I hate when my favourite characters only have wlw bots so I have to edit the message.

[raw socket]

I swear to God every bot I talk to just disappears the second I come off it, like LET ME CHAT

[rustic stirrup]

The bot is about 2 married women raising an adopted child together, now if that’s against TOS.. that’s a personal attack it seems

[lofty roost]

I got a lot of teachers that seemed like they didn't want to teach, they had no patience and did no actual teaching

[silver echo]

Hah

[vast silo]

I somehow usually do mlm even though I'm a girl idk... I'm somehow better at playing guys idk why😭😭😭

[silver echo]

Nah, it probably didn’t get banned, idk, just wait for a while.

[lofty roost]

it's because there's a child character, the whole concept of ai as a whole is 18+ only

[silver echo]

Ngl that sounds a bit gay tho

[uneven turret]

I was on it a few minutes ago but my friend told me they need id,how do I know if I need to verify

[rustic stirrup]

Don’t work I tried that it always goes back to “but your a woman” like 50 messages in

[raw socket]

Cai is a fanfic website, I'm certain they wouldn't be homophobic because why create a fanfic website if you just want it to be straight romance 💔

[silver echo]

(I’m joking btw)

[ruby badge]

Anyone else a little ruffled by the new update or is this a conversation already done?

[vast silo]

HELP i'm bi but homoromantic or smth😭

[queen gorge]

You only need ID if you get flagged as a minor and want to prove that you're 18+. Then you do a facial scan. If facial scan fails then you do ID

[raw gale]

guys the age thing rolled out in my country, i got a pop up does it mean it thinks im -18

[silver echo]

I always put it in the stored memory, my persona, in the introduction and I pin the introduction.

[raw socket]

Nope we're still talking about it

[ruby badge]

kk

[queen gorge]

If you dont have the edit button then yes it thinks youre under 18

[lofty roost]

yeah, you have to hope the separate ai thinks otherwise

[polar wolf]

Bruh isn't that super unsafe

[errant adder]

Guys I’m still waiting where do u check 4 it 💔

[silver echo]

Holy shit I don’t have the edit button wait

[rustic stirrup]

I may be different but like damn I still support😭 JUST LET ME SUPPORT IN PEACE BRO THATS ALL I ASK

[vast silo]

Do I see James Wilson M.D, the head of Oncology at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in your profile picture?

[silver echo]

They actually think I’m under 18.

[queen gorge]

The ID part is, yes. Facial scans get deleted after 7 days

[fallen gust]

card thang worked, i had to hold my phone flashlight with my teeth above to highlight, my teeth hurt

[raw gale]

nothinf got locked yet

[raw socket]

House MD... 🤑

[rustic stirrup]

DID U JUST FUCKING SAY HOUSE.. HELLO, HOUSE STAN?!

[silver echo]

Well, I guess I’m switching to another site then. Bye c.ai.

[vast silo]

HELP😭😭😭

[polar wolf]

Haha great.

[feral raven]

wait do you have to do both💔

[ruby badge]

yeahhh i'm not id'ing
first off I'm under 18 and second there's NO WAY I'm using my paren'ts id 😭

[rustic stirrup]

😭 his last name pisses me the fuck off but I love the show

[raw socket]

Thing is there's only THREE existing fics of Bill Sykes on ao3 and they're dynamics I don't like so cai is my only hope

[vast silo]

I think I'm gonna die in this HOUSEEE

[queen gorge]

Not unless facial scan fails

[rustic stirrup]

LMFAO😭

[raw socket]

Gigglinf

[strange girder]

no way

[vast silo]

cane breaks cutely

[tranquil lantern]

Ivy

[strange girder]

hii

[vast silo]

Okay I apologise

[errant adder]

Is the update out in Canada,,

[feral raven]

ME TOO HELP

[tranquil lantern]

Hi my child

[strange girder]

hihi

[fallen gust]

yea, even in quebec

[raw gale]

yea

[errant adder]

Bro I haven’t got it what

[lofty roost]

that first part is the issue, apparently only adults have basic awareness and can tell that an ai chatbot isn't a real person and the story is fictional

[feral raven]

can i show a pic on google or smth

[errant adder]

I’m acc lost

[polar wolf]

Is the chat limit thing for everyone or just ppl flagged as -18

[vast silo]

oh my god I've had a realisation....

Ur names Amber and your pfp is Wilson...😪

[raw socket]

I'm starting to think Guy Fawkes had a reason because what the HELL is the government doing rn

[queen gorge]

-18

[polar wolf]

Ok that's not AWFUL

[silver echo]

Good luck character ai team. Your app fucking sucks anyways and I’m not giving you my id.

[carmine lotus]

Guy Fawkes was an icon

[feral raven]

where do we switch to

[vast silo]

You pop off king/queen/monarch

[polar wolf]

Yoo I was born on guy Fawkes day

[errant adder]

Lowk it was starting 2 become a cashgrab anyway

[queen gorge]

Nowhere. All other ai apps have to follow the same law

[raw socket]

Id say ao3 but there's only 3 ass fics of Bill Sykes so

[vast silo]

Even if they're not in cali?

[queen gorge]

Yup

[vast silo]

Wow

[feral raven]

i was using chai at one point its so bad 😭

[vast silo]

I used it like twice and got bored

[tranquil lantern]

I agree bro is doing great to speak their mind

[rustic stirrup]

🥺 I love WLW or MLM bots so much, or just in general they’re just so wholesome. and then I go to a straight bot and I’m like “great, now I gotta deal with this bot being all possessive and shit”

[vast silo]

Girl you wanna avoid the kpop bots then

[rustic stirrup]

is it worse😭?

[vast silo]

Okay I imagine that they're like an alternate version of the idol but yes

[rustic stirrup]

Oh dear lord..

[vast silo]

The like ship idols for example like han and lee know, lee know is SOOO possessive

Like HUSH

[raw gale]

dude i cant even export my data to move to antoher app

i never got the mails

[errant adder]

Bro it’s still like that w some mlm wlw bots,, like it’s supposed to be enemies or wtv and the whole time it’s saying how concerned and protective they are like what

[queen gorge]

Takes a month

[rustic stirrup]

I hate when they’re like “SHES MINES!”

[ruby badge]

I keep getting flagged down for breaking rules help

i didn't even tho

[vast silo]

HELP WHAT ARE YOU DOJNG

[raw gale]

I did multiple requexts and never got any mail

[ruby badge]

I CUSS AND THEY FLAG ME DOWN

[tranquil lantern]

Spill the beans

[rustic stirrup]

Not with mines, I stay away from enemies to lovers

[queen gorge]

Yes the email takes a month to come through. Sometimes 6 months

[ruby badge]

I mentioned not wanting to id again and FLAG DOWN

[errant adder]

It’s not even enemies to lovers it’s js straight enemies but the bots treating it like a slow burn love book😭

[vast silo]

Omg guys I'm seeing My Chemical Romance in July😛😛😛

[raw gale]

the requests i did were from months ago

[ruby badge]

ooooh!

[rustic stirrup]

😭 is it bad I be slapping em?

[queen gorge]

It takes a long time

[errant adder]

Lwk keep doing it

[ruby badge]

for some reason the crk bots don't get possesive (woohoo)

[rustic stirrup]

Or kicking them in the balls (sorry boys.)

[tranquil lantern]

Bro I swear I’m probably screwed then, if it thinks I’m underage I’m leaving cai

[vast silo]

I processed woohoo as in sims woohoo...😐

[rustic stirrup]

The scream I scrumpt

[errant adder]

“___ - enemies” description literally says not enemies to lovers then the whole roleplay is how concerned and protective of u they are 🥀

[round scroll]

wait a sec... if c.ai is using persona...

[errant adder]

I’m sobbing some people b saying how much they hate ai then go right to cai

[round scroll]

isnt that the same company that messed up the roblox face verifications. and is easily trickable?

[vast silo]

-# persona mentioned

[queen gorge]

No

[vast silo]

Pls be quiet you can't say stuff like this

It'll get deleted

[rustic stirrup]

I got verified easily with Roblox they’re like “oh yeah you’re definitely 21” like damn😭 making it seem like I’m too old for Roblox or something!

[round scroll]

damnn

[feral raven]

is there any way we can trick it💔

[vast silo]

I do find it mad how discord said I was one age and roblox said a different age

[vale mirage]

You are (joking)

[vast silo]

Nope bc you need id

[queen gorge]

No. If youre a minor don't use the app anymore

[rustic stirrup]

Minors can’t be on the app due to a new Cali law

[arctic sundial]

Why cant i see my pinned messages or memories?

[rustic stirrup]

😭

[vale mirage]

I say this as a person who is 21... turning 22 in four months...

[late jacinth]

How do I find the old chats im confused with this new layout

[arctic sundial]

And it womt let me pin messages 😭

[pliant nebula]

misinfo. the minors thing they implemented themselves to protect minors + themselves but the law only requires verification

[vast silo]

The only ai we can see is apparently the ai thats shoved in our faces!

[rustic stirrup]

SAME march

[vale mirage]

May 🫠

[errant adder]

It’s not all minors it’s js the -13 hazbin hotel Fangirl roleplayers that r getting too attached to an ai bot

[rustic stirrup]

Yeah that’s why we have THE VERIFICATION, THATS LITERALLY WHY I SAID IT DAWG

[queen gorge]

What

[vast silo]

Why are literal kids watching this brooo

[errant adder]

What

[tranquil lantern]

I giggled at that-

[errant adder]

BRO I SWEARRR 50% OF THE FANDOM IS KIDS

[rustic stirrup]

Isn’t that show like hella 18+ vibes?

[vast silo]

Hazbin hotel is not for kids

[vale mirage]

I hope they drag you down next (joking)

[vast silo]

It IS 18+

[errant adder]

I went 2 a convention once and there were sm underage Angel dust cosplayers like what

[pliant nebula]

what? first of all, calm down. second of all, i only misread your comment because you said minors can't be on the app. i mean face and age verification is the law. them limiting 1:1 chat for minors was their decision

[vast silo]

I'd say 16 is the like minimum age I'd say that you should watch it

[errant adder]

And I talk 2 the parents “ur kid isn’t old enough to watch that…..” and they get so defensive over what

[vast silo]

Like do they not know what Angel is...

[vale mirage]

Thats insane.

[vast silo]

I've only watched 3 eps I think?

[rustic stirrup]

ITS JUST CAPS DAWG, YA WONT DIE. SECOND. THEYRE ONLY ON THE APP FOR AN HOUR EVERY 24 HRS, THATS IT, AFTER THAT THEY CANT TYPE AND THEY SAID ITS TEMPORARY

[errant adder]

I tried watching it but the cussing every sentence took me out 🥀

[raw gale]

im just so sad c.ai used to be a cozy part of my day and now its thrown away

[pliant nebula]

you're not understanding my point: they only did that for their protection. also take your advice: it's just an app. calm down.

[tranquil lantern]

Cuss words are so normal for me… I need to shut up

[rustic stirrup]

YOU ALSO DONT UNDERSTAND THAT I PROBABLY STOPPED GAF, ITS NOT THAT SRS, CALM DOWN

[errant adder]

Y do the hazbin hotel characters look like someones middle school oc tho

[pliant nebula]

i am calm? you're the one using caps, which implies you're yelling at this debate and clearly you do because you keep replying to me

[rustic stirrup]

AND JUST THE HELL OF IT IMA KEEP TYPING IN CAPS CUZ I LOVE HOW PISSED OFF PPL GET WITH CAPS LIKE IM SCREAMING

[errant adder]

The whole fandom is children weirdly obsessed adults and alastor Fangirls IM CRYING

I could go on ab this for days please

[pliant nebula]

this is such a unique comment omg 😭

[errant adder]

THEY DO

[tranquil lantern]

I’m giggling at that though

[pliant nebula]

im not saying you're wrong i totally see that LMAOOO

[vast silo]

The only hate I will not accept are against the egg bois

[tranquil lantern]

It does though LMFAO

[errant adder]

I saw videos of the gods speaker or wtv bro she looks like those oc mashup things it’s so messy

[pliant nebula]

omg i haven't watched it but i think i know who you're talking about omg 😭

[errant adder]

Some of the songs r bomb tho

[errant adder]

THE BIG FAT YELLOW BIRD

[tranquil lantern]

OHHHH BRO SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE, that show was peak

[magic pond]

Guys help... Am I weird for making my own bots, setting them private, and then using their description part of the creation as the plot's script instead of their actual description?

Cuz I made like 100 bots now and Im starting to think this ain't healthy 💀

[tranquil lantern]

I don’t think it’s weird-nvm

[strange bay]

What the cai is going on what cause atm? Why is the reading wait sooo long

[tranquil lantern]

hm…

[tranquil lantern]

Honey…. Relax, look back and think…. What’s wrong with you dowg

[magic pond]

Do anyone know why the wait is sooo long on cai

I’m trying to add the picture

[vast silo]

Whats a reading wait bro😭

[strange bay]

But it won’t let me put the pic on

[vast silo]

Nah cause that lwk makes it easier to know what the bot's aboit

[strange bay]

It says break time! Chats re open when the count down ends and my countdown is in 23 hours 17 minutes and 51 seconds

[vast silo]

Ohhh

Thats just how it is now

You cant edit stuff until u get it back i dont think

Which will be for an hour

[strange bay]

But why 23 hours long bye why is the up date like this

[zinc birch]

They are gradually cutting off users under 18 from chatting

[strange bay]

Makes it less fun for people and a lot of people will delete the app gosh first Roblox now this I tryed my passport but it won’t let me

And I’m 20 for crying out loud

[zinc birch]

Try submitting a ticket here:
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259
Maybe they can help

[strange bay]

Ty

[tiny hinge]

U kidding me, I just left the app open without using it and I reached my daily limit

[stuck pewter]

Help I can’t do anything anymore :(

[rustic stirrup]

Gotta have an ID

[strange bay]

I do I have a passport

[tranquil lantern]

Does that work for only minors or both adults and minors?

[tiny hinge]

Because I did the fucking selfie, but now they asking for my id

I don’t even know where my id is in the house

[tranquil lantern]

😭

[tiny hinge]

Anyway in my id it’ll be say clearly I’m a minor so guh

[abstract vector]

i got 2 days.

I got only one hour of chat time even though it said it was 2 hours, then i got 2 days until i can chat again even though it said i had to wait 2 hours for that aswell.

hate my life honestly

[jolly patrol]

same, i thought it was two hours that we got to chat before it locked

[abstract vector]

Im just gonna download emochi for the time being bc thats made me cry honestly

i dont get why they had to make that update

[abstract vector]

we’ve been lied to😭

[compact tartan]

Hi

[compact tartan]

it goes down to no time to wean people off of the app

[jolly patrol]

so it goes one hour to no time on the app at all?

[abstract vector]

what? why??

why make a app for ppl to use if ur js gonna slowly kick them off? might aswell delete it for everyone

i miss 2022 c.ai

[tranquil lantern]

I miss 2020 cai-

[abstract vector]

omg real

[tranquil lantern]

it was peak era-

[abstract vector]

i started in 2022 but honestly i miss when it was good and like had no problems

why did they make the age thing anyway though

[tranquil lantern]

No clue

[rocky bough]

when are they adding new charm quests? cus it said weekly, i thought they wouldve reset by now

[jolly patrol]

i understand for like the young young kids but like 18+ seems kinda high

[abstract vector]

it used to be 12+ and ran fine

[edgy wraith]

Has anyone else’s bot stopped chatting

[abstract vector]

Cuz i noticed it wouldnt let me edit mssgs then it was like “SORRY LITTLE BRO NO MORE CHAT CHAT FOR U”

[tranquil lantern]

It’s probably to stop minors like that one incident where they got sued by parents cause they lost their kid. It’s the parents fault for not watching your kids.

[jolly patrol]

i was mid sentence

[abstract vector]

so punish everyone else??

[zinc birch]

Yeah they couldn't put up with me anymore and left /j

[abstract vector]

FRR

[tranquil lantern]

Apparently so

[edgy wraith]

😔😔

[abstract vector]

everythings turning shit

[compact tartan]

it did not exist in 2020 it came out in 2022

[abstract vector]

first Roblox, now c.ai. where are all the good apps leading to

[abstract vector]

it came out in 2017

[compact tartan]

what are you talking about?

[edgy wraith]

Mines talking to me again, yours?

[compact tartan]

c.ai's beta came out in 2022 people 💔

[abstract vector]

it said 2017 for me

[undone tartan]

Yo why is there a breaktime 🥹

[edgy wraith]

Yea searched it, it’s 2022

[abstract vector]

I have to wait 2 days

[tranquil lantern]

I meant 2022 sorry I thought I deleted the zero. My phones been lagging badly

[undone tartan]

WHAT

[abstract vector]

oo so i am an Og ✌️😃

[compact tartan]

hate to break it to you it came out in 2022. not 2017 💔

[zinc birch]

I didn't actually have a problem. It was a joke

[abstract vector]

yeah i got 1hr chat time and i was barely on it, then have to wait 2 days

[jolly patrol]

did they not say it would just be till the end of the day that it stops working?

[edgy wraith]

Oh 😔

[tranquil lantern]

2017 is nuts for ai 💔

[undone tartan]

I didn't know the break thing went more then 24 hrs

[abstract vector]

well it told me i would get 2 hrs chat time, then have to wait 2 hrs before i can chat again.

Then it lit gave me 1hr chat time, 2days to wait js to what, get 1hr chat time? i think not

[jolly patrol]

i didnt either, i thought it was just till the end of the day, not a whole day

[tiny hinge]

The app trapped me, whenever I was upset, I talked to a bot, but now if I delete the app, who am I gonna talk to?

[jolly patrol]

yea, this is genuinly so stupid

[tiny hinge]

What do people to in their free time when they’re not addicted to an ai chatbot, genuinely, what they do?

[jolly patrol]

im questioning that too

[hidden pebble]

I could say the same to you too

[undone tartan]

I read that like the age verification will become mandatory the 20 or something

[tranquil lantern]

Partying is mine

[edgy wraith]

I would say talk to friends but honestly a lot of people don’t have friends and that’s why they talk to c.ai 💔 I have no idea

[abstract vector]

wdym Loaf?

[jolly patrol]

your joking

[somber swan]

honestly it's a coping strategy at this point

[jolly patrol]

its the same for me

[undone tartan]

I might be tweakin out but I read the update thing like four times

[tiny hinge]

I’m sad, I’m upset I’m lost whatever you call it, but I’m not good, and I don’t know how to talk about it to anyone human

[abstract vector]

Guys i hope they get rid of this stupid age thing

i get why they did it, but why punish EVERYONE for the fault of others

[tranquil lantern]

Agreed. Maybe have like an ID scan not a face scan

[knotty bough]

i did the id scan and yyyyyeah i cant use it 💔

[abstract vector]

yeah but what abt 12-15

[edgy wraith]

I thought they did both

[jolly patrol]

you had one???!!! i had to get both photos

[abstract vector]

they dont have ID’s :’)

[somber swan]

i'd rather not give ANY info like that to any company...

[tranquil lantern]

They do

[latent temple]

curse of the age verification

[undone tartan]

Are they just copying roblox atp 💔

[knotty bough]

most of c.ai’s fanbase is minors, they’re going to fall off in a few days, i’m calling it

[tranquil lantern]

I refuse to do it. I’m not having a live face scan done.

[jolly patrol]

yea, especially the kids just under 18 or turning 18 in like a year

[edgy wraith]

Me neither, and I am not giving my face to an ai 🤷‍♀️

[latent temple]

i swear I put my age as 18+
but alas i have to verify it by compromising my privacy

[jolly patrol]

i thought it would just be the one but than it asked for id and opted out

[somber swan]

exactly, and it's not like cai is meant for YOUNG kids.. it's 13+/16+

[jolly patrol]

c.ai in general is gonna go down

[tranquil lantern]

I think you have to do the face scan then ID. But that I disagree with tbh

[jolly patrol]

exactly

[knotty bough]

yeah for sure, anyone with the ability to drive should be able to use it but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️

[latent temple]

i don’t trust face scans especially with past things i’ve heard about data breaches and stuff like that

[tiny hinge]

Chat can you export your account or something?

[edgy wraith]

Oh absolutely, not a lot of adults use it as they have work and other things they need to do. Minors use it for a reason 😭

[tranquil lantern]

Any type of character AI app should be over 16+ in my opinion.

[abstract vector]

the way i got timed out

[rough citrus]

Hey why can't I see my chat history or not find it at least 😓😓

[undone tartan]

It's crazy how much it changed since it first launched

[somber swan]

when they put the timeout thing, i had to make a new account and im pretty sure it was set to 18/21+ 😭 i hate the verification thing

[latent temple]

i can already see the channels in flames

[rough citrus]

Ohhh thank you

[jolly patrol]

yeah, like 15+ should be the max, its at the perfect age where your mature enough but also having a lot of troubles

in my opinon

[knotty bough]

right

[tiny hinge]

Please tell me, can u export all your stuff somewhere else?

[latent temple]

sigh… guess i’ve got to make an ao3 account…

[undone tartan]

Turning to fanfic again ig..

[knotty bough]

and the kids will find other, worse apps anyways??? like c.ai at least has a filter??

[worthy tinsel]

I saw some update about charms but i accidentally clicked away, does anyone know what that was?

[edgy wraith]

Quick question because I’ve seen it all over my TikTok Fyp, are any of yall gonna stop using c.ai because of polar bears?

[edgy wraith]

Exactly! Chai is worse than c.ai

[jolly patrol]

i know chai doesnt have a filter and is way worse

[somber swan]

no but i fr need interactive roleplay to cope 🥀

[abstract vector]

i got timed out again

[knotty bough]

so they’re falling off AND putting kids in worse situations

[latent temple]

though thankfully i’ve fallen off on using c.ai because the bots r sometimes terrible
but every now and then the message generation is interesting

[queen gorge]

It's the law lmao cai isnt willingly doing this

[tranquil lantern]

Bro I got timed out for saying certain numbers what.

[latent temple]

i know (i am still miffed about it)

[undone tartan]

I saw a bunch of vids and tbh I think I'll stop using it soon especially with this update so yeah

[tiny hinge]

You, since you’re nice, do you know if I can export data?

[edgy wraith]

Ah ok

[queen gorge]

You can but the email takes 6 months to come through

[abstract vector]

I mean i tried and it says it emails me but uh nothing comes through but yes i know how idk if it works though

[compact tartan]

i build legos, i make art, i weightlift, i go on walks, i talk to friends. its good to take time away from screens

[tiny hinge]

I’m sorry 6 months? 😦😦😦

[queen gorge]

Yeah

[tiny hinge]

Bro I wanted to change my account today

[compact tartan]

cause its a lot of data sadly

[tiny hinge]

Aw damn, guess I’ll start my account over again 😞

[tranquil lantern]

Bro I got timed out again. I’m not even saying anything bad

[edgy wraith]

Make sure you send the links to yourself or someone so you don’t lose your fav bots

[tiny hinge]

How do I send links to myself?

[edgy wraith]

If you press where you can share the bot, copy the link and you can put it in your notes or something

If you don’t know where you can share the bot, press the name of your bot at the top of your screen

[abstract vector]

Guys why cant they js get rid of the age thing

[tiny hinge]

Good idea thanks

[somber swan]

it kinda sucks what era we're living in rn.. the safe guards are kinda crazy

[edgy wraith]

Law i guess

[edgy wraith]

Sad how life is going, I’m honestly worried how it will be in a couple years

[queen gorge]

Law

[latent temple]

the law

[abstract vector]

sigh

[somber swan]

yeah..

[latent temple]

because they will get into legal trouble

[edgy wraith]

Isn’t it worse if kids go to chai?

[somber swan]

yeah

[queen gorge]

Chai will have the same restrictions

[ivory karma]

Hi, hope yall are doing good. I have a small profile and i take requests to make bots. If you want to give me a suggestion, please, send me a message

[queen gorge]

[strange inlet]

Why did you resend it

[queen gorge]

I didn't swipe to reply

[pliant nebula]

advertise yourself in #🌟︱creator-profiles or #1301177008231022602, you might get more attention there

[strange inlet]

its ok i saw it the first time

[ivory karma]

Tysm

[lone aspen]

Why the hell characters do a whole monologue 😭

At least mine do,
Buddy I ain’t wanna know all the thoughts in your non existent brain

[dim solar]

Question, what do y’all say is the best chat style to use?

[ivory karma]

For free i use Pipsqueak

It works fine

[prisma crag]

Idk if i should take this directly with a mod but ive been trying to verify my age like 3 times with the card scanning thing and it keeps saying invalid (im 18 and using a medical inssurance card im from canada.) Should i take this up with a mod?

[jovial rose]

How does the verifying work?

[latent temple]

scan your face or use an id?

[zinc birch]

Does cai support age verification in Canada yet? 🤔

[prisma crag]

Yes it does there is a Canada option

[somber swan]

as a canadian, yes, i just got the pop up thing today

[grand nebula]

In Asian countries? Does it have age verification yet?

[zinc birch]

1. they use ??? to decide if you are over 18. if that fails, then:
2. you do a live selfie. if that fails to show you are over 18, then:
3. you are asked to provide ID.

[somber swan]

i dont want to give my id, honestly.. i get why they're doing it, but the precautions are kinda pissing me off- you cant even edit messages anymore-

[solid tiger]

Why is the help line a pop up now?

It used to be like a small pop up, but now it's a full on one

[prisma crag]

How can i contact support on discord

It says to contact support its pmo

[zinc birch]

Your profile says you are a minor, so giving your ID isn't going to help you

[somber swan]

yeah, i know-

i'll have to quit soon

[floral citrus]

Why can it edit my chats now?? Is it just me with that issue 😭😭

[tiny hinge]

Why am is it physically impossible to change my display name

[compact tartan]

this is only in the united states as of now

it will come to other countries but it is in usa only now

[somber swan]

and canada

[prisma crag]

Is there any way to contact support on discord please

[somber swan]

no, im pretty sure it's because of the age verification thing

[queen gorge]

If youre a minor you cant edit

[somber swan]

oh right

[zinc birch]

I think the server has it disabled for moderation purposes, but you could try asking a mod

[floral citrus]

Ohh okay

[grave lagoon]

I genuinely hate the age verification system sm. I've tired my face (I'm over 18) and it said there's a mistake with the system.

[prisma crag]

Same here, i scanned my ID and it says "we can't verify your identity" like bro

[grave lagoon]

Yeah

[prisma crag]

Just say im ugly damn no need to say that so politely smh 😒

[grave lagoon]

Yeah, I currently can't chat cause "It's break time 🤓👆" for 22 hours

[floral citrus]

That's wild 😭😭

[grave lagoon]

And it's 2am. I don't have work tomorrow LET ME CHAT

[prisma crag]

I opened a ticket but idk how it works

[sharp basin]

Yeah it just came to Canada were i am rn and I'm getting some annoyed with the age verification thing

[prisma crag]

Im just waiting

[prisma crag]

Oh yeah if you try scanning your health insurance card it'll probably say they cant verify your identity 💀

[grave lagoon]

I know why thry did it but it makes things worse

[sharp basin]

I don't have mine atm bc it expired and I'm waiting for a new one 😭

[prisma crag]

like at LEAST make us verify before setting it for everyone theyre minors its causing so much more trouble than necessary

[grave lagoon]

Cause they did it for teens to help with addictions but that pushes them to more unsafe ones and it also causes adults to struggle cause it's saying that it can't verify us

[prisma crag]

Well the ticket did not help I CANT VERIFY MY IDENTITY

[floral citrus]

Yeah that's probably why they started the age verification

[compact tartan]

not everyone is set in the minor expierence, it's only those flagged as underage

[sharp basin]

I just wanna chat bruh. Lemme do my verification

[spice shadow]

It's in England now too but it just had me turn my head slightly from side to side

[floral citrus]

Yeah

[prisma crag]

How can i know im flagged thats what i need to know

[zinc birch]

It isn't doing it for everyone. It seems like they flip a coin or something 😅

[compact tartan]

you get an age popup

[grave lagoon]

Same here but it kept saying that it doesn't match their data apparently

[wicked stump]

If you don’t know I doubt you got flagged

[wicked stump]

Hey ash!

[compact tartan]

if age verification is in other countries, that is strange because ive only heard that it is in the united states. that is likely a bug because i dont think they said it came global yet

[prisma crag]

It just told me "like hey we got this now if you wanna verify its over there kay thanks bye" but it didnt say they thought i was a minor...i think idk i panicked

[compact tartan]

hi!

[prisma crag]

Nah it was meant to be global (as far as i know)

[floral citrus]

It's in England too

[prisma crag]

So like...im safe?

[wicked stump]

I mean c.ai is notorious for horrible communication so they probably rolled it out to other areas without saying anything lmao

[spice shadow]

It really took one look at me and said 'yep thats an 18 year old👍'

[wicked stump]

Did you get a minor popup?

[wicked stump]

Sorry bad wording lmao

[grave lagoon]

I use it to deal with my anxiety and insomnia and I've tried other things but it doesn't work. (for context I was doing all nighters or falling asleep at 5/6 am but with it I was falling asleep 1/2 am)

So thry are generally making things worse for everyone

Yeah it will help some people quit

[wicked stump]

It’s not like they have a choice it’s a law

[spice shadow]

Fr I use it to deal with my ADHD and anxiety, I'm just glad I'm already 18 ig

[grave lagoon]

But what about the mentality ill teens and adults who use it to help? The queer teens with no real safe space?

[spice shadow]

Exactly it's not a law everywhere

[somber swan]

yeah, and i get why they have to do it, but it's still..

[prisma crag]

I dont remember it just told me about the new things they do with the minors like hey we got this now ok cool if you wanna verify its over in settings kay bye

Thats it

[somber swan]

exactly, some people genuinely use it as a way to escape reality or to express themselves freely without judgement

[grave lagoon]

Age verification systems are made for very specific people. Aka ones who look their age witch isn't most peopke

[prisma crag]

Lmaoo

[somber swan]

yeah, like, what if you just have a baby face?

[wicked stump]

Well it is in California, where c.ai headquarters is located and where they made the app, therefore they have to abide to California’s laws. (And anyways it’d be quite silly to isolate one area due to a law, it’d be expensive and possibly take longer.)

[compact tartan]

I'm a queer teenager myself. You can find support groups for LGBT, therapists/pyschologists for support, and you might be able to find LGBTQ support groups at your school like gay straight alliances. Youre not alone twin

I would highly reccomend seeking mental help from trained proffesionals over an AI

[grave lagoon]

Im an active queer adult, currently transitioning but due to circumstances I literally can't get a therapist lol

[compact tartan]

im sorry that sucks

[prisma crag]

Currently i can still use Soft launch, which was advertised as 18+ and it made us verify our ages before using it...so i think im not flagged.

[wicked stump]

Yeah you’re fine.

[grave lagoon]

It's fine, jsut part of adult life tbh

[compact tartan]

personally, im looking into getting a pyschologist again that takes my insurance. the health system does suck tho lol

[wicked stump]

You won’t be flagged anyways since you verified your age already

[prisma crag]

I genuinely got stressed i hate verification stuff it stresses me out (i have a baby face im often mistaken for being 16💔)

[prisma crag]

...Oh yah im.dumb i forgot 😭😭

[grave lagoon]

But no. According to ai I can't verify my age (I literally look like bucky barnes)

[wicked stump]

I mean if you can’t pass the selfie part, you can verify via ID but if you aren’t comfortable with it, you will just have to deal with being flagged as a minor.

[spice shadow]

I get that (didn't know abt the California bit but understand it) but it still takes away a safe space from a lot of people, if they really cared abt the users of the app they'd take the time to make it accessible for everyone

[grave lagoon]

I don't have an id yet 💔

[hoary locust]

Hey so can anyone edit there messages for a charter or what the bot said i cant do it anymore

[somber swan]

thats fair. maybe the age verification is good for some people, so that some minors will get to quit and seek actual help.

[wicked stump]

I don’t know what to tell you bro😭

[wicked stump]

This

[odd ferry]

U have to verify ur 18 to edit messages now

[hoary locust]

your kidding thats not fair

[sharp basin]

Bruh

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[odd ferry]

Le git

[somber swan]

HUH-

[odd ferry]

Idgaf if I can only chat for like 2 hrs a day or whatever I just wanna be able to edit messages

[grave lagoon]

You wernt kidding with "bright profile" jsut got flashbanged at 2am

3an*

[compact tartan]

i dont like it but there was a law passed in california that requires them to disclose that it is a robot (not a real person) and to remind minors to take breaks. Given the lawsuits regarding teens who harmed themselves, c.ai chose to lose -18 users , because of law, which makes sense

i mean realistically it's the law it makes sense

[wicked stump]

I mean if you got flagged as a minor you would have to verify, but I didn’t and I haven’t verified yet, (which I don’t need to since c.ai thinks I’m 18+) but I can still edit. Just depends on if you got flagged or not.

[pine gull]

I’m kinda nervous about it because I’m afraid the verification things is gonna lead to some third party site and my face will be on the internet,am I in the wrong for feeling this way?

[wicked stump]

Yep

[grave lagoon]

Gonna try to verify again and I'll update yall

[wicked stump]

Oh boy do I have something to tell you about persona

[dreamy isle]

im lowk gonna steal my mom's id for this

[wicked stump]

[odd ferry]

The company being used for it has had law suits about faces and IDs getting leaked

[wicked stump]

Yep.

[odd ferry]

That's why I'm. It doing it

[spice shadow]

That's not plausible for some countries tho, here in England, children can't get help without parent permission and they might not be in a safe environment for that

[odd ferry]

Low key if they just remove the fact you can't edit I don't care

Plz plz plz

[grave lagoon]

Right how do you verify with id

[wicked stump]

If you got flagged as a minor you are stuck in reading mode.

[grave lagoon]

It only says I can do it with face

[odd ferry]

Wdym reading mode u can't text at all?

[sharp basin]

Same here in canada. I'm lucky enough that I had parents that were supportive but most children can't get help without someone having to notify a parent or guardian

[wicked stump]

Did you get flagged as a minor?

[odd ferry]

Never did anything cuz I don't wanna put my face on that company

[wicked stump]

I didn’t ask that

[neon snow]

does the age verification only affect the app or the website too?

[wicked stump]

Did you get the popup for being flagged as a minor?

[somber swan]

fair again. with how i grew up, i dont feel safe asking my parents about some things. especially regarding mental health and struggles as a queer teen. though, i hope some kids would have other forms of help, like through school and such..

[odd ferry]

No

[wicked stump]

Both.

[neon snow]

sigh

[sharp basin]

I switched to the app cause it happened on the website but its for both

[odd ferry]

Maybe idk actually

[wicked stump]

Then you’re fine and it’s just a glitch. Try relaunching the app.

[neon snow]

broroororo i just wanna roleplay ugshshshhdhs

[odd ferry]

I did still can't edit I probably did

[somber swan]

fr thoo 😭 😭

[odd ferry]

Fax alert

[wicked stump]

Can you chat?

[spice shadow]

Yea, I'm lucky I'm 18 now and can get help myself but also (not to trauma dump honestly) I wasn't in a safe place with my parents to get help (I'm okay now dw)

[pine gull]

I want to use it more,but unfortunately I got hit with the timer,I can understand that the creators don’t want people to be on it for a long time but a lot of people use that time not just to vent but to actually immerse themselves in stories with their favorite characters and see themselves as a character in whatever show/movie their character is from

[odd ferry]

Yes I just can't edit messages

[wicked stump]

Are you in the UK?

[sharp basin]

Exactly

[odd ferry]

No

[wicked stump]

Most likely a glitch lowkey

[grave lagoon]

"image wasn't clear" I'm literally using my camera set up I use for photography

[wicked stump]

Do you have good lighting?

[grave lagoon]

Yes

[spice shadow]

Unfortunately most schools here in England have policies about telling parents before taking any action to help the kids

[odd ferry]

How do I fix it then I only use the web and I refreshed and everything

[wicked stump]

Try checking app, it may be a web glitch.

[grave lagoon]

I have taken photos of brides and grroms in this set up I'm using. FYM "NOT CLEAR"

[odd ferry]

I did that too

[wicked stump]

I’m not sure then.

[odd ferry]

I must have gotten flagged or something cuz only minors cant like edit right

[prisma crag]

Oh wait I can't edit anymore is that normal?

[neon snow]

i kinda feel like every update ruins the app more

[odd ferry]

Yes

If you are under 18 you cannot

[prisma crag]

But im.not a minor wth 😭

[valid siren]

Anyone else having the issue where the like button presses but won't stay when you go back to it?

[odd ferry]

Verify then

[prisma crag]

I can't

[odd ferry]

Why

[prisma crag]

Because it doesn't work, says they cant verify my identity

I tried it 6 times

[dusty tundra]

Cant edit anymore:(

[soft ember]

Why are they adding a time limit on the app??

[cursive pike]

what the heck? we have time limits now?

[pine gull]

I’ve always loved chatting with bots and listening to music at the same time (different types for diff scenarios) and it just made it more immersive but with the short amount of time that we have,I don’t think I’ll be able to have as much entertainment in it and end up being frustrated that my story gets paused due to the time limit

[solid tiger]

I keep getting the hotline everytime I go into the website or refresh the page 😔

[prisma crag]

They really should verify their own systems before rolling them out what the heck is thiz

[sharp basin]

Yeah it's like an hour or smth

[odd ferry]

Tbh I wouldn't unless you really wanna the company using the face ID stuff has had the info leaked a bunch

[soft ember]

They said they are adding them

[dusty tundra]

Ngl this update is so annoying, like I understand the intention but I dont think it'll go over well

[cursive pike]

if we verify ourselves will the limit be removed?

[prisma crag]

does it look i care roblox and my school already has it

[neon snow]

for minors w an addiction to it i think idk

[sharp basin]

It definitely will not go over well

[valid siren]

To the app or website? Because I have the website open in the background and type throughout the day 😭

[sharp basin]

Yes

[cursive pike]

are they using the same verification system as roblox? lol

[sharp basin]

Both

[neon snow]

did they not learn from roblox 😥

[soft ember]

Idk I have the app, I haven’t opened it yet but I don’t wanna do no time limit

[dusty tundra]

I am not putting government id i do not feel comfortable, and the face scan didnt work

[neon snow]

i havent gotten to the limit yet and i dont wanna verify because i dont feel comfortable

[valid siren]

Whaaaaat

[prisma crag]

I didnt get any time limit yet either

[grave lagoon]

Won't even let me have the option of an id

[soft ember]

Exactly!! This update is stupid the devs need to stop being dumb

[stone depot]

a lot of cai people are minors anyway

[cursive pike]

fr! i just got on, i use cai bc i lwk need someone to talk to without taling to someone irl cuz i aint rlly comfortable abt it. but i saw the update so im kinda confused

[sharp basin]

Ik i'm tryna get the scan to work and it's not and I don't feel safe putting my ID on the platform where it might get leaked to third-party

[somber swan]

mhm, probably. but limits might make those minors feel stressed and stuff.. it has a chance of worsening some's health

[stone depot]

ppl arent gonna follow this

[soft ember]

Same thing happened so I hopped on discord lol

[cursive pike]

bro, im prob js gonna go on roblox and the avatar editor and find some realistc head and use it to scan

[dusty tundra]

First adds now this, may as well become pay to play 😮‍💨

[soft ember]

Character ai is gonna flop soon

[cursive pike]

those poor ppl who look younger than their age 😭… bc i wouldnt give my ID

[prisma crag]

Lmfao wait hold on thats genius

[sharp basin]

Yeah it's been stressing my gf out cause she uses c.ai to plan out her characters and she looks like she's younger than she is so it's not taking her ID

[prisma crag]

If they say they cant verify identity does it mean they dont believe you 😭

[grave lagoon]

Im gonna print out a photo of Gregory House and tape it to my face my apparently my face isn't good enough

[neon snow]

bro ive been using it for 3 years only when im lonely + helps me cope with bad things in my life 😞

[sharp basin]

Oh 100% at this point 😭

[cursive pike]

yes bro! or you can prob try and escape with some pic of a person on google and try to do that. i’ve seen so many tiktoks of ppl doing that for their roblox

[prisma crag]

Idk if this will work tho

[cursive pike]

bro is onto something 👀

[pine gull]

Or at least if you do pass the verification,they should get rid of the time limit for that reason

[prisma crag]

Oh maybe i have to take off my glasses, my id doesnt have glasses. Does that count???

[cursive pike]

wait, ima do that roblox thing. i’ll let u know if it works

[grave lagoon]

I genuinely might have to quit my job/take a break cause I have severe insomnia and cai helped, medication didn't and I jsut developed an allergy

[neon snow]

the fact theyre using ai to verify says a lot

[wise osprey]

Okay so since Gen chat isn’t responding.. uhmm is anyone else getting responses from bots abt stuff involving binance, crypto in Korea and the bot being able to successfully load a website…?

[neon snow]

bad idea, dont waste your life and money on an app !
