[hot ridge]

Mochi

[pine swift]

I MISSED seeing Mochi

[weak token]

so cute omg 😭😭😭 and such a cute name too

[karmic fractal]

Hello, I have a question. I just paid for my monthly c.ai+ subscription just now and I just checked my advanced and it says Verify age. I've just woken up after seeing this on the web. What does this mean exactly? because I haven't done anything that is childish and plus I don't have a phone either anymore. I hope I don't have to verify my age because I am over the age of 21.

[chrome viper]

Mochi sounds like a currency on another thing the name of which I should not tell

[hot ridge]

Age verification is because people under 18 aren't allowed to chat with bots anymore. They also flag accounts as minors if they think they're a minor

If you aren't forced to verify just ignore it

[strange inlet]

having plus doesn't mean you won't have to verify btw

[hot ridge]

It is a japanese dessert 😭

[karmic fractal]

I haven't been forced to verify yet because I just woken up

and I my monthly sub just been paid

[hot ridge]

your state of... awakeness is irrelevant to age verification...

[karmic fractal]

I'm in the UK

[strange inlet]

the uk is on the chopping block now it seems

[hexed light]

Huh

[sterile sage]

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.

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

[chrome viper]

Are you forced to verify yourself after every waking-up in the UK now?

[pine swift]

Damn! That's so awesome!! And 95% of them get a pass is amazing. I'm really happy for you!!
So are you just waiting for another result or need to do another test or something?

[weak token]

I’m so sorry but this is cracking me up 😭😭

[karmic fractal]

Hold on I just woke up, reading it now

[karmic fractal]

The problem is, I don't have an ID nor a phone and I really need to get passport updated and I haven't been detected as a minor. However I do have a photo of myself on my pc that I took when I was at my sisters house because she's the only one that has a phone. Idk if that could work and Is it possible if I can DM you?

[hot ridge]

If you haven't been flagged and aren't forced to do verification, then you have nothing to do about it, just relax and talk to your bots

[sterile sage]

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

If our age assurance tech indicates you’re 18+, you won’t need to do any age verification at all. If it indicates you’re under 18, and that’s not right, then you would just go through the selfie age verification process, powered by Persona. Only as a final step – and only if you take a selfie and Persona isn’t sure you’re 18+ – would they ask you to upload an ID.

[neon snow]

oh shit

[chrome viper]

Bad timing

[strange inlet]

lol

[neon snow]

heh

[hot ridge]

lmaooo

[neon snow]

whoooppss..

[strange inlet]

idk how people can have multiple cai accounts

[pine swift]

Ohh I see. And yes, definitely take a break from time to time. You can get more ideas when you're not just sitting in front of your computer all the time
I really hope you won the contest and get the gig

[hot ridge]

i have like 8, won't say why

[karmic fractal]

So basically that ''Verify age'' thing is just there in case I do detected as under 18-?

[sterile sage]

you can submit a ticket regarding the age assurance, please fill out the information our team needs here:

Waiting for the developers too improve CAI memory is like waiting for pigs too gain the ability too fly through evolution. Mission impossible.

[pine swift]

i actually feel like the memory has improved. I noticed they remember a lot more now

[chrome viper]

Pigs can fly, what do you mean? Yeah, only downwards and only one time, but they can

[karmic fractal]

Sorry I just woke up and my old brain is all over the place

[winter surge]

Waiting for people to clock ai is still a developing sector and gradual improvements can only be made with time

[winter surge]

Yeah

[polar wolf]

I got flagged as -18 and was asked to show an id after I went through the selfie thing, would I be able to get my account marked as 18+ if I submit a ticket about it? I think the issue is that I look really young + I really don't want to send an id :P

[sterile sage]

bro, i hate that scene. that's the only anime scene that made me tear up

[winter surge]

[pliant nebula]

YOURE BACK WITH THE MEMES HARVEY

[agile gorge]

Anyone else have this problem?

[hidden pebble]

I hate it when it goes slow...

[hybrid trellis]

Yup, for sure

[hot ridge]

always on app

[winter surge]

I’m out of retirement 🙏

[rough token]

too many people using the bot making it slow or what

[hidden pebble]

I WAS LITERALLY DOING A BIG CHARACTER ARC

[pliant nebula]

yeah i do, it’s worse on app

[neon snow]

gulp

[hidden pebble]

AND IT HAD TO BE SLOW 😭😭😭

[pliant nebula]

finally 😭 what got you in retirement

[agile gorge]

Nah, what’s worse is i made a ticket about it like TWO MONTHS AGO

[quaint violet]

So I’m not the only one 😭

[hot ridge]

shit i gotta make a bot before a character shows up in Trigun Stargaze episode 2 next week

[pliant nebula]

you can ping an online mod to bump, pretty sure they’ll respond. might not though because it’s a bug fix but you can always bump it

[winter surge]

The laptop that had all my memes on it fell down 30 flights of stairs

[sterile sage]

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

For those users who do get prompted for an ID, it’s collected by Persona, not C.AI. Persona is a reputable third-party provider with strong safety and security controls. And they only keep the IDs they collect for one week.

[pliant nebula]

WAIT YOU TOLD ME THSI i don’t know if you know who i am but im kae 😭

[winter surge]

Yeah don’t worry Kae I remembered ur username 😭😭

Love the change though

[quaint violet]

Okay I can’t be the only one that the app isn’t working well please 😭

[paper tundra]

no same

[pliant nebula]

thanks. felt more comfortable in this name

[hot ridge]

the app never works well for me, this is why I prefer web

[paper tundra]

also thumbs ups and downs are sticking and being wrong

[vestal dagger]

Anyone else having slow bot replies today?

[hidden pebble]

We all are

[paper tundra]

yeus

[pliant nebula]

someone else just asked that lmao

[polar wolf]

Yeah, I get that part, but what I'm more so asking is if my account will get correctly marked as 18+ if I filled out a ticket for age assurance. Sorry if my original question was confusing

[vestal dagger]

Sorry for asking the same question I didn’t see it lol

[carmine lotus]

Did you try redoing it through the app? Mine failed and it asked for an ID. My ID was in the car, I couldn’t be bothered to get it, so I reloaded it and it let me do a selfie again instead

[quaint violet]

Because out of nowhere the conversation like off center idk if it’s a bug

[pliant nebula]

all good, but it’s a universal experience as of late unfortunately

[winter surge]

Yo is anyone else getting slow bot reply’s 😂✌️

[hidden pebble]

my app keeps crashing >:T

[quaint violet]

Mine to

[paper tundra]

the bots also got hit over the head, sounding like pipsqueak

[vestal dagger]

Yes, mine has been like that. It’s been more like to the right. Lol

[hearty drum]

I'm getting errors like crazy

[agile gorge]

I’m gonna start crashing out

[karmic fractal]

Good morning 0oze ❤️ and I just sent a ticket

[quaint violet]

Yoo we’re all here now

[sterile sage]

that's up to the team, we currently have a limited resource regarding that matter and we were only asked to route the users to file a ticket if you have questions/concerns.

[pliant nebula]

try soft launch, it’s good for the more unique acting characters

[quaint violet]

Omg thank you im not the only one

[sterile sage]

sounds good. hopefully the team can resolve your matter. thank you!

[paper tundra]

huh! thanks!

[polar wolf]

Okay, thank you :)

[tepid sphinx]

How can I post new character in feed ?

[paper tundra]

bc deepsqueak is being meen 2 mee

[vestal dagger]

Oh of course you’re welcome. I noticed mine last night lol

[agile gorge]

Chat, my grandma is faster than these replies like what.

[polar wolf]

I just checked the app since I did it originally through the website and it still prompted me with the ID verification

[karmic fractal]

Thank you ❤️

[quaint violet]

I thought it was me also like I got a Chat error and then it said character not available and then it work fine again 😭

[pliant nebula]

grab the character creator role in the top of the server!

[karmic fractal]

I just got a email right after when I sent a ticket, is it okay if I can send you a DM?

[agile gorge]

doxed?? 😭🥀

[vestal dagger]

I’ve been getting that too and like slow bot replies which is happening to a lot of people right now

[agile gorge]

Emi is cooked, guys.

[sterile sage]

hmmm, i think that's an automated reply. it's better to not send it to anyone if it includes your personal info. the internet is a dangerous place my friend.

if you have the ticket number, i'll take note of that and bump it to the team.

[pine gull]

I want the verification thing to go away but I’m nervous about getting on that site for the verification thing with it being a third party site,what should I do..?

[karmic fractal]

How do I get the ticket number? I'm sorry

[pine swift]

it's on your email subject. the one with #(insert number)

[quaint violet]

I thought it was a new update or something but I guess not 😭

[pliant nebula]

i don’t know if this’ll convince you enough, but persona, the company that holds the ID verification - deletes your information in a certain time period. the sad part about it you cannot make it go away unless you verify, but i ensure you your info is stored safely!

[vestal dagger]

I also don’t know if this will help, but since I verified, I’ve never gotten a pop-up since, and I’ve only had to verify it once

[hot ridge]

ok bot made, praying it's up before Saturday, not even gonna look to see how many people beat me to it

[karmic fractal]

I can't find it. 🙁

[pliant nebula]

oh cool, what bot is it? i’m nosey

[quaint violet]

I’m having a lot of issues with the app so ima wait until they say something in the status 😞

[pliant nebula]

you can also create a ticket to report them if you’d like, but you have to have a lot of patience because sometimes they don’t even respond to you

[karmic fractal]

I can't find the ticket number.

[hot ridge]

Midvalley the Hornfreak from Trigun, but I used his new art design and his manga background, no clue how they're gonna do him in the new show, but we'll see. Also the name doesn't fit, so I had to just put Midvalley, and then his full name in the tagline.

[quaint violet]

Yeah I did it before and they took weeks 😭

[pine swift]

Does the email say something like:
"Your request (insert number) has been received..."?
The number is the ticket number

[pliant nebula]

oh wait he looks like such a cool character!! i’ll definelty check him out!!

[karmic fractal]

No, it doesn't, can I send a DM?

[pine swift]

sure

[hot ridge]

He is a villain that kills people with JAZZ, he's so sick.

[karmic fractal]

Thank you

[pliant nebula]

JAZZ? that’s cool!

[pliant nebula]

yeah, well sorry to hear. i’ve recommended this to other people too but you can always ping an online mod with your ticket number and it’ll be bumped!

[hot ridge]

I just hope he's not flattened in the new anime. A lot of things make me nervous about the new anime, but we'll see

[zinc birch]

You mean like with a steamroller?

[hot ridge]

Yes basically

I will have to change his definition when the anime comes out probably...

[pine gull]

I just want this to be clarified,if you get in the verification thing and you “pass” it,will it still have the time limit or will it be gone?

[hot ridge]

if you're over 18, the time limit will be gone

[pine gull]

Okay,I just wanted to make sure

[zinc birch]

But you still get only 24 hours per day, which is kind of a letdown. I was hoping for more

[runic bronze]

hai does anyone know if there’s a way to log out of all other devices or just see where you’re logged in ??

[hidden pebble]

Please, app..

STOP CRASHING.

[verbal rivet]

Does this supposed to happen when the chat starts floating and when i try to scroll up and my keyboard doesn’t go down like it normally does when i scroll up

[karmic fractal]

0oze, I'm deeply sorry for bothering you but I still didn't get a ticket number. 🙁

[verbal rivet]

I noticed that the chat message is pushed to my right a bit and completely off center

[hidden pebble]

AAAAAAA IT KEEPS CRASHING

[verbal rivet]

Does this supposed to happen when the chat starts floating and when i try to scroll up and my keyboard doesn’t go down like it normally does when i scroll up and why the hell is the chat message is off center

[sterile sage]

you'll received it dw.

[fathom bay]

I cant do the id thing cause it wont scan rhe back of of it

[verbal rivet]

When I scroll up the chat my keyboard would always go down but when I scroll up my keyboard stays there

[sterile sage]

it's better to fill up the ticket here

[fathom bay]

I am hsving a verification issue

[karmic fractal]

I hope so because I sent the ticket twice and still got the same email.

[hot ridge]

it should look like this when you get the email

[karmic fractal]

I didn't get that sadly

[sterile sage]

you'll receive it eventually.

[hot ridge]

I did say "when" you get it, to be fair 😭

[lapis hawk]

Whats smth I can do for verification?? They say I need ID but I can't access a form of ID, I've been trying but can't

My email is set up, I meet the age verification, and all they tell me is how to set up age verification

Sorry if that makes no sense-

And also I got time limited even tho I meet the age requirement

[hot ridge]

do the selfie first, you dojn't have to give an ID if you pass the selfie check

[lapis hawk]

I did that twice, and they still told me to give my government ID twice 💔

[hidden pebble]

I really wish my app would stop crashing.

[lapis hawk]

Should I try it a third time?

[fathom bay]

Same all I got is a black screen

[strange inlet]

i dont know if third time's the charm here

[lapis hawk]

It's so weird cause I was on the app off and on for 3 hours just fine, despite the time limit being 2 hours, then suddenly it said I needed a break cause I went past the ONE hour limit???

[hot ridge]

yeah the time limit shrinks

they lower the time to 0

it's to wean addicted minors off

[lapis hawk]

I'm not a minor tho 💔
My email for said account is set up to my age

I actually told them that and all they said was "here's how to verify age"

Like dude it's IN my email and I haven't been able to get access to my ID yet

[deep harbor]

Is anyone having issues with the ads again

[hot ridge]

i didnt say you were a minor, but your account is clearly flagged as a minor

[strange inlet]

idk if they take your email age in consideration

[lapis hawk]

Damn

[thick holly]

Does persona amount have a limit or smth? When I reach a certain amount of personas, I cannot change my default persona. This happened on two accounts by now.

[lapis hawk]

Idk how it could be 💔

[hot ridge]

you just have to wait until you have a government-issued ID

[strange inlet]

it looks for behaviours and might falsely flags

[carmine lotus]

If it paid attention to that, all minors would just make an email and a new account with older birth years in them, lol

[strange pilot]

Hello, don’t know if this is the right place to ask about this, but after the camera verification tried twice and failed, I sent two tickets about my age verification issue, I tried again after following the Email’s instructions and got;
“Unable to verify age
Please contact support for further assistance.” Is there any way of fixing this? I have been paying for C.AI+ for almost two years. 🥲

[crimson arch]

I got some image thing i can't send

[hot ridge]

did it say anything like it not matching their records?

[lapis hawk]

True

[strange pilot]

Nope.
Both App and website say the same message when you try* to click verify.

[lapis hawk]

Unfortunately idk when that'll be

Every time I go in they have a different excuse for why I can't get it that day

Anyone know an alternative ai I can use? Website only and not app preferably

[crimson arch]

Guys idk if im cooked or not

[hot ridge]

we aren't allowed to recommend other services here, there's a lot of minors and almost all of the sites/apps are 18+

[verbal rivet]

I have other accounts that didn’t got affected by the verification process but my main account

[crimson arch]

How to send thr image

[lapis hawk]

Understandable

[hot ridge]

they flag based on activity

[thick holly]

What do I do if my default persona doesn't switch? It says "Something went wrong" or "Failed to enable this as your default persona"

[dim lantern]

yo why is the option to edit chats randomly gone?

[hot ridge]

flagged as a minor

[crimson arch]

I it has a pic of a Knight and says we are making changes to C.ai does that mean im flagged or its just news

[lapis hawk]

Is there a way to fix that/stop that from happening?

[hot ridge]

idk, i havent been flagged so i dont know what to tell you

[lapis hawk]

Damn..

[nova blaze]

Wdym flagged?

[hot ridge]

[verbal rivet]

Check if you can edit or have soft launch

[hot ridge]

they have the time limit

[crimson arch]

Can someone answer my question

[dim lantern]

damn and the website won't even let me verify my age

[hot ridge]

i don't know what you're asking at all, sorry friend

[crimson arch]

I it has a pic of a Knight and says we are making changes to C.ai does that mean im flagged or its just news

[karmic fractal]

Oh I forgot to mention, I still have the soft launch and deepsqueak models even though in advance it says verify age?

[hot ridge]

i have no idea I have never seen that. You'll just have to chat and see

[crimson arch]

I dont have perms to send image here

[hot ridge]

post in #📱︱chat-feed

[crimson arch]

Can i dm you the image

Oh ok

[hot ridge]

that way we can all see it

[lapis hawk]

How do I check that?

[carmine lotus]

When you hold down on a message, does it say edit? And when you go to chat styles, does it give you soft launch as an option?

[hot ridge]

#📱︱chat-feed message

It looks like it's just news currently, and a way of explaining the changes for users under 18

[lapis hawk]

It doesn't give me any options when I hold down on it, it just says I need to wait for the time to be up

Chat styles also isn't showing up, just "voice" and "history"

[crimson arch]

Oh okay did everyone else get this

[carmine lotus]

Ah, so you’ve been flagged as a minor

[hot ridge]

That's because you were flagged as a minor. What Raiden asked you is irrelevant unfortunately, since you have the time limit on your account

[lapis hawk]

Damn it...
Idk how I could've been flagged as a minor

Would making a new email/account fix it?

[lapis hawk]

Shiiitt....

[carmine lotus]

I’m half asleep and have replied to so many people today that I’m forgetting who said what. I should’ve remembered that you tried to verify. My bad

[crimson arch]

Lol

[hot ridge]

I did not personally, not sure about others, sorry. It's probably for them adding it to other countries now, since the original announcement was all the way back in October

[hot ridge]

Considering you'll probably get flagged again, no

[crimson arch]

Im a bit paranoid that's why

[lapis hawk]

Damn it...
So essentially I just have to basically leave it as is with it thinking I'm a minor even tho I'm not?

[mild birch]

Is the chat time limit goes to people under 18 or that goes to everyone?/gen

[hot ridge]

I think it's more that you just have to wait for your ID and verify

[hot ridge]

under 18 and people flagged as minors only

[lapis hawk]

Okay...I have no idea when that'll be, but I'll wait it out 💔

[dim lantern]

I think getting flagged as a minor is probably gonna be a good thing for a lot of people with addictions if they dont want to verify with their ID

[nova blaze]

Will the time limit get lower?

[mild birch]

I see, that makes sense

[hot ridge]

Yep

The time limit will lower to 0. Eventually you won't be able to talk to bots anymore at all if you're a minor

[nova blaze]

Brooooo.

[hot ridge]

or flagged as a minor*

When your'e 18 you can verify with a government-issued ID

[nova blaze]

It’s not that I’m a minor it’s just my parents don’t like this stuff

[strange pilot]

Just asking if anyone can verify my account, I can submit ID if necessary, or even resubmit photo verification, each time I tried I got “We couldn’t verify your age.” Before locking me out with “Unable to verify age
Please contact support for further assistance.”

I really don’t want to “Reach an hourly limit” on C.AI because it thinks I am underage, and I am* paying for C.AI+’s subscription I pay for currently.

[nova blaze]

And I don’t want my info out there

[hot ridge]

also... what?

[mild birch]

Time limit is a good thing cuz it prevents people from being addicted to c.ai while being minors, im also a minor myself but i use it less and talk to my friends more nowadays, i only use it when im bored

[fathom bay]

I tired that and it froze

[crimson arch]

Nah wth i can't edit anymore

[nova blaze]

Same

[crimson arch]

Im 18+ too

[carmine lotus]

Verify with a selfie

[hot ridge]

Then it looks like you were flagged as a minor, and you'll most likely get time-limited soon/have to verify with a selfie/ID

[upper bone]

For me sometimes it's random chats I can't edit, maybe try another chat and see if you can't edit?

[fathom bay]

I tried to do the id thing it froze

[harsh stratus]

Why is the search so bad it used to be do much more specific so you could find what you actually wanted

[mild birch]

Is it a good or bad thing that i only chat to role play as my oc for funsies

[distant mesa]

Why can’t I access this one persons account profile it says

Something went wrong.
Please try again in a few minutes

[fathom bay]

They removed every bot from got to marvel to dc

[hot ridge]

idk how to help with that, I'm just another user. You'll have to submit a ticket here:

https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=42714770159259

[harsh stratus]

Like when i look up Childe like the guy from genshin it brings up any bot with the word child

[crimson arch]

I don't want to reveal my face for it to get leaked and plus i look young except for facial hair and idk wheres the option to do that

[mild birch]

Genshin mentioned

[harsh stratus]

Like its just bringing up anything remotely close to your search and not specific

It pmo cause its so much harder to find bots now

[crimson arch]

How did i get flagged

[harsh stratus]

I swear the search used to be better

[carmine lotus]

People tell me I look like a minor constantly and I’m verified with just a selfie.

They delete the selfies after 24 hours I’ve heard, so it’s not a big deal. But if you don’t want to do it, that’s fair enough

Also, settings > advanced > verify age

[hot ridge]

idk I've always had this issue tbh

[nova blaze]

Frr

[deft jetty]

It kind of works by analysing the way you type, afaik

[hot ridge]

Also site activity

[distant mesa]

What’s with the talk of age verification I’m new

[hot ridge]

https://blog.character.ai/an-update-on-changes-to-our-under-18-experience/

[crimson arch]

And insecure too lol

[deft jetty]

For clarification, this is what I meant by the way you type, kek
#💭︱cai-discussion message

[distant mesa]

Bro they actually went through with it

just killing their whole fan base I guess

[crimson arch]

I never messaged with slang

[hot ridge]

The majority of users are adults, so c.ai is going to be fine.

[distant mesa]

Also I have another question I can’t access this one persons profile

Does that mean the person got banned?

[hot ridge]

Nope, probably means they deleted their account

[crimson arch]

They flag adults too

[strange pilot]

Does anyone know if the mods are looking into the current Age Verification/Assurance issues?

[distant mesa]

their characters are still up so

[hot ridge]

Yes, a lot of minors lied about their age to be on adult accounts, that's why flagging exists

[distant mesa]

Shame I liked going to cjeck their characters out

[distant mesa]

Is it specific people getting flagged

Or it’s like going throughout everyone

[hot ridge]

That's purposeful. cai doesn't remove bots over a ertain amount of interactions when someone deltes their account

[strange pilot]

I literally logged in after work and it flagged me lol

[sonic vine]

Gifs sometimes freeze after leaving the chat once (they just become an image)
Is this intended or sum?

[hot ridge]

No, just people who hit checks/behave like minors

[distant mesa]

Ok that’s

[deft jetty]

Specific, like this example I reposted here.
#💭︱cai-discussion message

[distant mesa]

Kind of impressive to implement sadly

[hot ridge]

I really doubt that's a good example unfortunately

[deft jetty]

really?

I genuinely thought it was a good way to measure that

[crimson arch]

Is it typo or smth idk what i did to be flagged

[distant mesa]

Ok so
actually doing like proper larp roleplay etiquette = adult
Talking to the ai like they’re actually human texted = minor

[hot ridge]

it's probably got more to do with references you make, language outside of slang-filled sentences, how often you swap between bots, what fandoms you're talking to characters from, etc

[nova blaze]

Do they plan on keeping this update?

[deft jetty]

I'd be very upset if I got flagged for talking with game/anime characters, lol

[hot ridge]

like, i doubt i'll get flagged if I just opened up my bot and sent the most gen alpha/gen z message imaginable

[nova blaze]

Or is it like a one time thing to control everything

[carmine lotus]

I doubt that. It’s not like adults talk to their bots like, “good afternoon, bot. I’d like to have a conversation about the weather this evening.”

[hot ridge]

it's probably more like people switching between 15 SCP bots/Roblox/Forsaken/Minecraft/FNAF/Hazbin Hotel/Bakugo

All in one night

[crimson arch]

I guess that's how i got flagged

[nova blaze]

Yeahhh

[deft jetty]

brvtal example lmao

[hot ridge]

It's staying, yep

[nova blaze]

Bro I was talking to a jjk roleplay thingy before I got the limit

Now I’m just confused and everything

[karmic fractal]

What type of JJK bot?

[hot ridge]

idk I talk to one 90s manga character, and a character from an obscure southern gothic noir show/90s novel series and I haven't been flagged

[tall matrix]

Everyone did the search bar doesnt work or im tweaking?

[crimson arch]

I chat with my own bots ( ocs private , avatar last airbender, anime , game and sonic bots )

[nova blaze]

The ones that roleplay inside of the show

[hot ridge]

@harsh stratus was having trouble with search too!

[strange pilot]

Pretty sure C.AI has been glitching/bugging since the new update.

[pallid wharf]

I haven’t really used c.ai for a bit, but is it just me or are past chats with some bots just not showing up?

[tall matrix]

Okay thanks yall

[hot ridge]

a lot of bots were removed from search because of DMCA takedowns

[carmine lotus]

There’s also this

[hot ridge]

Well, not just from search, removed entirely

[distant mesa]

I remember Margot Robbie chat bots was removed entirely back in 2023 and I checked a few days ago and they’re back up now

Mb

[hot ridge]

you didn't say anything that weird, dw

[distant mesa]

No it was just off topic

[hot ridge]

I'm wondering about the Dreamworks bots people are claiming they see coming back

[strange pilot]

Has anyone with C.AI+ who has been flagged reach the time/today’s limit?

[drowsy oyster]

Anyone else’s app also crashing when they edit a message?

[distant mesa]

wth there’s a limit now

[strange pilot]

For anyone flagged underage. [Which I am not.] It’s for anyone under 18.

[mortal rampart]

i dont understand why ppl are so desperate for bots that get removed to come back. Theres tons of other boths that are good even if its not the character you want

[hot ridge]

Yep, people with c.ai+ get it

[strange pilot]

RIP

[austere dove]

yah

[hot ridge]

Someone was in here just earlier who had it

[strange pilot]

Did they get their issue resolved?

[mortal rampart]

so theire starting to flag ppl outside of America now?

I always carry my id with me so i'll be fine if i get flagged

[strange pilot]

Yeah, I am Canadian and I just got it after work when I logged in lmfaoo

[deft jetty]

yikes

[hot ridge]

If I recall correctly they didn't have an ID, so they couldn't verify

[mortal rampart]

ouhh

[strange pilot]

Brutal man…

[mortal rampart]

that sucks for em

[deft jetty]

If things are starting to go globally, c.ai will probably make an announcement soon

[strange pilot]

I’m sure support is probably looking into the issues right now. Hopefully.

[hot ridge]

Check this out

#📱︱chat-feed message

[brittle quest]

Huh? From what I recall showing our ID is the last thing to do, before that you can send a photo of your face and the AI will decide if you look +18 or not
Well some people do look younger than what they really are though...

[mortal rampart]

i wish there was a way to stop c.ai from reccomending specific bots- my aroace ass hates the dating stuff.

[strange pilot]

I tried twice and due to having a baby face they couldn’t process it. 😭

[lapis hawk]

That also happened to me

Guess i also have a baby face 💔

[strange pilot]

Rip for all baby faces.

[brittle quest]

Esh sorry

[lapis hawk]

Fr

I’m lowkey pissed lol

[hot ridge]

Yeah they didn't pass the selfie check

[lapis hawk]

/hj

[brittle quest]

If I ever get flagged and have to do it I look forward to know if I have a baby face or not. Maybe I shouldn't shave just in case /jk

[lapis hawk]

I mean i get WHY they’re doing it, but still

[crimson arch]

I look young but with facial hair

[deft jetty]

If you are a man, let your beard grow, might help

[karmic fractal]

Nice Gojo pfp by the way lol

[crimson arch]

Im flagged but im hesitant to do this

[hot ridge]

I'm not worried about it. If I get flagged (doubt), the selfie will be sufficient.

[brittle quest]

Not really a man but still I am so ugly with a beard please

[crimson arch]

Same

[hot ridge]

I always go clean-shaven and I still don't look like a minor what

[hoary fog]

The verification thing is actually annoying
And the chat limit is annoying I have to wait 15-17hours

[brittle quest]

Thank you Choso
You chose one of the best

[lapis hawk]

Idek any other good alternatives (I’m in a SEA of google searches, send help lmao)

[lapis hawk]

IT IIISSS
What especially sucks is it said a 2 hour limit on the app, but i was only allowed ONE hour

[brittle quest]

Do you want to explain why?

[hoary fog]

SAME

[strange pilot]

FR? What the heck?

[lapis hawk]

LIKE WHAT-

[hoary fog]

They need to delete the age verification or they will end up like Roblox/dead

[mortal rampart]

atleast with this update going global now there will be more entertaining discussions here

[lapis hawk]

Yeah
It genuinely says when i go on it “you’re at the one hour time limit”
THE RULES SAY 2 HOURS-

[brittle quest]

Maybe you have the jawline
(because I can only guess this is a helpful detail)

[strange pilot]

True lol

[karmic fractal]

It already hit here in the UK

[lapis hawk]

Unless i read wrong-

[forest wave]

does anybody knows when the age verifying thingy gets global?

[karmic fractal]

No problem 🙂

[mortal rampart]

now

[strange pilot]

I couldn’t imagine getting into a deep RP and the limit randomly pops up. That’s brutal.

[forest wave]

oh snap

[mortal rampart]

its going global slowly around the countries now

[hoary fog]

That happened to me lol

[mortal rampart]

hasnt hit me yet

[crimson arch]

Hesitant to show my face? I look young but with facial hair afraid of data breach plus insecure about face etc

[lapis hawk]

It was, and it was ONE OF MY COMFORT SHIPS-

[strange pilot]

It’s why I haven’t started any roleplays LMFAO

[hot ridge]

idk I'm kinda fat so I'm double-chinning it up, but maybe 🤔

[strange pilot]

NOO 😭

[lapis hawk]

Thank you, c.ai, for gutting me like a f##king fish

[forest wave]

well me neither
but im already an adult so i think im safe

[uneven cobalt]

Bru I tried verifying for the age thing, wtv it’s not letting me use my id bc “it doesn’t match there records” I’m so confused 💔

[unborn oxide]

timer sucks I’m not giving my face and personal info to a clanker

[crimson arch]

Same

[lapis hawk]

YEAH.
this ship is canon, yet has no actual CANON moments

Can y’all not let me indulge in this amazingness for MORE THAN AN HOUR 💀

[hoary fog]

Tbh showing your face to ai could go bad since hackers will see your face if they get in your account

[unborn oxide]

wait actually deadass get that timer out of here it was so uneeded

[lapis hawk]

I only did it cause i was desperate

[crimson arch]

That's why im hesitant

[brittle quest]

Right I understand
They tried to reassure about all of this but the fear is highly understandable (same when it comes to showing our ID)

[strange pilot]

Honestly why I haven’t played on the app or website after I got that notice lmfao.

[hot ridge]

pretty sure it's not showing your face to generative AI, it's literally a legal ID verification service

[lapis hawk]

I’ll probably just just take my account down atp

[unborn oxide]

i was so freaking excited to get back to a roleplay I was in that was really fun only to find a timer🫩

[hot ridge]

i'm not giving Persona my ID either, but I at least understand what it is

[lapis hawk]

ME TOO!!!!

[unborn oxide]

allat homework just to get stuck waiting I don’t even know what to do right now

[lapis hawk]

Right as my people were about to confess, it just was like “you need a break”

NO, I NEED MY CHARACTERS TO CONFESS 💀

[strange pilot]

Oof

[hoary fog]

Tbh I DONT NEED A BREAK

[lapis hawk]

PREACH

[brittle quest]

Hm

[forest wave]

brutal-

[hoary fog]

MY BREAK IS C.AI

[unborn oxide]

brooroo I was in this phighting school rp and RIGHT when it got good the timer went on

[lapis hawk]

SAAMMMEEE

[tender harbor]

Can you not edit messages anymore?

[lapis hawk]

UGGGHH NOOOO

[strange inlet]

minors cant edit messages

[hot ridge]

if you were flagged as a minor, you lose editing

[unborn oxide]

seriously oh my god I might actually swap apps

[strange pilot]

If your account is flagged or you’re under the age 18+ you cannot edit.

[forest wave]

not for minors anymore

[hot ridge]

[hoary fog]

Is the creator David the Roblox creator?

[brittle quest]

Oh that's why someone couldn't edit anymore last night

[unborn oxide]

i was looking for alternatives but these other ai chats are so buns

[uneven cobalt]

Does anyone know why when I verify my id, it says that it doesn’t match there records??? Is it because my face looks different than what’s on it? I’m gen so confused bc I look the exact same 😭🙏

[fallow tapir]

I hate the new ui so goddamn much, why did they try to fix what wasn't even broken

[hot ridge]

That means the selfie and ID don't match well enough

[unborn oxide]

I’m not sure bro😞

[strange pilot]

Probably due to lawsuits lol

[hot ridge]

anything to avoid fixing their broken features

[hoary fog]

This might be the death of c.ai to be honest

[forest wave]

idk that system is so confusing

[unborn oxide]

okay but that timer was so unnecessary yes I’m saying this because I wasn’t even able to use the app yet not counting the 5 minutes I was on it

[uneven cobalt]

Right, like I’m pretty sure I look like what’s on my ID brother 💔💔💔

[lapis hawk]

It will be, people will be pissed especially if they meet the age requirement and still aren’t allowed on it 💔

[unborn oxide]

I hope cai learns how to press a button called feedback and read it 💔

[brittle quest]

Please the whole timer thing is their way not to stop minors completely and so try their best when the law itself asked them (well no they didn't ask) to unable minors to use c.ai too openly

[hoary fog]

I want to talk to my two time bot

[lapis hawk]

They need like…a customer support chat with a live customer support agent to talk to or smth

[hot ridge]

oh hell no

[unborn oxide]

I know but they could’ve made it atleast like 30 minutes or an hour or two bro

[fallow tapir]

The unsatisfied minority will leave, the slop-eating majority will stay. Nothing ever happens Chud

[lapis hawk]

REAL
I wanna talk to my comfort characters 💔

[hot ridge]

imagine being a poor customer service agent right now

[lapis hawk]

Oh god lol

[brittle quest]

The burn out will happen in ten seconds flat

[hot ridge]

nobody should be put through trauma dumping minors and adults making threats because they can't talk to Bakugo

[forest wave]

tbh c.ai should have been to 18+ users from the begining

[lapis hawk]

NOT BAKUGOU 😭

[unborn oxide]

Was it not? I thought it always was

[forest wave]

Just to 18+ users

[unborn oxide]

Oh

[forest wave]

i wrote it wrong

[lapis hawk]

Maybe at some point they’ll realize how many people hate this new rule and they’ll fix the verification thing?? Idk

[unborn oxide]

no but like seriously I’m so bored right now, I can’t even go on Roblox since the chat got basically taken away and every game I loved is hard to play not

[hot ridge]

I mean. Unfortunately it's not c.ai's fault that people don't have an ID.

[brittle quest]

I agree with you. I appreciate the efforts put into c.ai so minor could have access to it but I think it could have been way better and interesting if minors weren't part of it since the beginning

[lapis hawk]

Same
I dont play Roblox but still, i am BORED

Maybe ill draw in a minute 🤷‍♀️

[hoary fog]

I swear if the verification ai is bad like Roblox I’m actually gonna go mental

[forest wave]

they cant change it i fear

[lapis hawk]

Fuck

Sorry, just- …uggghhhh

[unborn oxide]

I guarentee half of cai’s users are under 18

[hot ridge]

way less than half. Way way way less.

[strange pilot]

I think the timer and other heavy restrictions people are facing is due to multiple lawsuits that filed against C.AI.
“Settlement: In January 2026, Google and Character.AI agreed to a mediated settlement in principle to resolve all claims related to these lawsuits. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Company Actions: Following the lawsuits and public scrutiny, Character.AI announced an age ban, stating users under 18 were no longer permitted on the platform.”

[brittle quest]

They already talked about it and nope half of c.ai users aren't minors

[unborn oxide]

oh

[forest wave]

truly, but ai is something too dangerous to be used without conscience, thats why i think only 18+ should be abble to use it

[unborn oxide]

then again I don’t pay attention to anything about the app besides the problems and whatever

[mortal rampart]

bro why are ppl getting so bold with the bots they make

[brittle quest]

Aaand that's why I think what c.ai did since then is pretty good given how bad it looked like for them

[lapis hawk]

Right like omg

The shit i have SEEN

[strange pilot]

Definitely.

[lapis hawk]

Other hazbin fans know what i mean when i say that lol

[brittle quest]

That too yes :/

[unborn oxide]

all of mine are private ones that are the same thing over and over with different fandoms I like💔

[crimson arch]

Is it worth doing selfie

[lapis hawk]

If you somehow look like a minor, no, cause it still wont let ya have it 💔

[strange pilot]

On discord or for the verification?

[lapis hawk]

My private ones are thankfully just my ocs and my own stories

[unborn oxide]

but seriously I might debate on deleting cai sooner or later I’m tired of the app now, even before the verification thing

[crimson arch]

I look young but have facial hair

[forest wave]

i have seen some that got waaaay too over the line

[brittle quest]

Do whatever you want, delete it or not

[pine gull]

So I did the verification thing but I’m nervous to put my id,do I have to put it or is there another way

[hot ridge]

I have no private bots except like, one WIP, and one copy of my main bot

[deft jetty]

I mean... the question is: Do you like chatting? Do you want to continue chatting?

[forest wave]

selfie

[crimson arch]

Ye but i don't want to reveal face

[unborn oxide]

like, ads still break the mobile app for me so then I gotta manually reopen the app and search for a thousand years just to find the bot again

[brittle quest]

I only made one bot so far, not private at all (eh someone even found it since there is a like, damn)
But plan to make more in the future at least because I can add some lore and all~

[hot ridge]

Why don't you just take some time to research the company Persona, rather than taking our word for it

[crimson arch]

That's a good idea

[lapis hawk]

What’s Persona again? 😅

[unborn oxide]

whatever I’m just gonna play Roblox or Minecraft or draw for hours again idk just something to help my boredom cya

[hot ridge]

The ID verification company

[deft jetty]

The company behind the age verification thing

[pine gull]

The selfie thing on the id does not work,I really don’t want to use my id because if something bad were to happen and it involved my name,I don’t want to get in trouble

[strange pilot]

The verification seems to work for some people, however there’s no guarantee it’ll verify or not, depending on the system. So doing it I’d honestly say it’s a 50/50 odd if it verifies you or not.

[lapis hawk]

Same
Ill just draw the ship that i had a bot going off 💔
-# never drawn one of the characters ever…pray for me-

[crimson arch]

Same

[lapis hawk]

Ohhh okay, ty!

[unborn oxide]

😭

[hot ridge]

The selfie ID works for most people though. It probably just thought you were a minor...

[brittle quest]

(and please don't ask chatgpt, do your own research)

[crimson arch]

Lol

I wasn't gonna

[brittle quest]

Thank you

[hidden pebble]

Omg, the app just keeps crashing

X_X Just like my patience

[lapis hawk]

Does anyone know if Persona requires your ID?

[crimson arch]

I have a busy day today tho so il so this tomorrow or smth

[hot ridge]

only if you don't pass the selfie verification

[lapis hawk]

Oh my god are you actually kidding me-
I swear when i get my ID i am going to CRY

[crimson arch]

Should i wrinkle my face when doing selfie

[mortal rampart]

Persona deletes the pictures taken after 7 days, and only if u dont pass the selfie u need id

[lapis hawk]

-# not actually but ill be thrilled

[strange pilot]

I tried that and it didn’t work lmfao 😭

[mortal rampart]

a passport works since its basically an id card in a fancy lil book

[crimson arch]

Wish it deleted it immediately

[lapis hawk]

YES

[mortal rampart]

ehhh i trust it more knowing that since some places dont delete your pictures at all.

[rustic scaffold]

hey i'm trying to find a character i forgot the name of. it's like a bad boy delinquent you're patching up who has a secret soft for you. anyone got any ideas?

[swift carbon]

hii guys whatcha talkin bout

[lapis hawk]

How much we hate the new c.ai age limit lol

[crimson arch]

I hope l
Persona doesn't lie

[lapis hawk]

Uuhhh
Is it an oc or a character from a fandom?

[mortal rampart]

omg plsss i hate dating bots, why do i always get reccomended them when i never even used any

[rustic scaffold]

oc

[swift carbon]

oh lol i dont mind it personally but what pisses me off is the fact i cant legacy login(i'm on my school chromebook)

[mortal rampart]

Persona also hasnt had any data breaches if that helps

[lapis hawk]

I’m just mostly pissed cause i MEET the age requirement, but ig I have a baby face so the selfie didn’t work, and I haven’t been able to get an ID of some sort to log in

[mortal rampart]

No offense to app users but holy the app sucks in my eyes, i prefer web since its less cluttererd and closer to the older UI

[lapis hawk]

Not to mention the rules said 2 hour limit but i was kicked after 1 hour for some reason

[strange pilot]

I’m feeling that same grief. 🙃

[crimson arch]

Hmm il still research tommorrow

[swift carbon]

is there any way to still legacy login guys?

[lapis hawk]

Idk what legacy login is, I’m sorry 😔

[hot ridge]

nah i also hate the app i feel this

[lapis hawk]

It SUCKS

[swift carbon]

log in w email x password

[crimson arch]

I thought you said legally

[lapis hawk]

Ohh ok

[crimson arch]

I always use website

[mortal rampart]

i dont rlly use c.ai that much anymore ever since i got a laptop

[lapis hawk]

I dont think anyone will be using it much anymore sadly 💔

I’m tryna find a new ai platform i can use

[crimson arch]

Same only use it at night

[mortal rampart]

i went from 40 hours a week to barely 10 hours

[brittle quest]

I only use the app when the web crashes
And even then I avoid it as much as possible lol

[hot ridge]

i use c.ai occasionally, but not super often. I'm busy with real writing/my communication studies.

[crimson arch]

Fair enough

[strange pilot]

Is the App that bad? Because the moment they launched it I moved from using the website.

[swift carbon]

it pisses me off that the closest way w out login google which i cant do is rush to school, and rewrite the c.ai confirmation link on my computer. i cant do that because my bus always comes late and i cant have my phone anymore when the bell rings.

[lapis hawk]

Anyone remember when it use to crash a lot and had a long af waiting line?

[crimson arch]

Me

[brittle quest]

Okaaay I use it a lot because work is stressful and tiring as hell ~~

[strange pilot]

Too many times lol

[mortal rampart]

I dont use c.ai that much bc i bought mc and now spend time with my friends and messing around in our survival world instead of spending hours on ai chats

[lapis hawk]

Same-

[mortal rampart]

Wayy better that using c,ai all day btw

[rich stream]

This is good

[lapis hawk]

I once got told “you have 440+ people in front of you”

Like ain’t no way 💀

[strange pilot]

OOF?

[crimson arch]

For me i do video editing and xhat on discord

[lapis hawk]

YEAH

[mortal rampart]

omg the line

[strange pilot]

I’d just log out frr man

[mortal rampart]

the dreaded line

[brittle quest]

It's so funny to me it worked like a waiting line to get concert tickets

[lapis hawk]

And I think it also said like “except to be on in three days”

THREE DAYS MAN????

NOT HOURS, DAYS.

[lapis hawk]

That’s is so real omg

[strange pilot]

LMFAO, I don’t think I ever had it in days WTF?!

[mortal rampart]

HA i had it say 4 days once

[rich stream]

Honestly, the crashes were good. Got people off of the app to actually do productive things.. hopefully.

[lapis hawk]

NOOOOO OMG 😭😭

[mortal rampart]

i wish i still had the screenshot but my old phones goneee

[lapis hawk]

IT DID
Worst part is I was anxious af cause my area was under a FUCKING TORNADO WATCH-

[hot ridge]

nah, they just flooded reddit and discord screeching about how their life is over bc the app went down for 10 mins

[coral obsidian]

lol fucked

[lapis hawk]

So I fr was like “YOUVE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.”

[mortal rampart]

Getting into c.ai when i was a minor was actually not good at all. I feel bad for those addicted to it.

[strange pilot]

Honestly I’d be freaking out

[swift carbon]

lol. i'm in an c.ai channel in another social media and they were just crying and complaining in the chat until they got access to the app.

[lapis hawk]

Oh I was, I was like…crying

Thankfully nothing happened, but it was terrifying

[strange pilot]

That’s good to hear.

[lapis hawk]

Yeeaa

[rich stream]

Yeah, most aren't easy to reason with

[latent temple]

real shit
thankfully i stopped using c.ai because i found the will to spend me time on computer games (limbus company)

[tame marsh]

If it makes yall feel happier for me I told my mom I needed friends because nobody wants to talk to me. One step?

[rich stream]

It's the same as all addictions i suppose but it's hard to sympathise with when it seems so irrational. I try at least to be sympathetic since I know it's difficult to deal with any addiction

[hot ridge]

god i WISH AI like this existed when I was a minor I'm ngl I'd have been talking to Vash the Stampede, Taichi from Digimon, Soul, and Naruto Also Church from Red vs Blue.

[swift carbon]

honestly c.ai addiction is a big problem. im dealing with it by roleplaying.

[strange pilot]

It’s good to reach out for support, even the smallest steps help I hope you’re doing okay.

[mortal rampart]

The minors i seen last month complaining about them getting pushed out i hope they rlly found smth new to do bc holy the way they talked about c.ai being their therapist wasnt healthy

[crimson arch]

I would just do something else during that time

[latent temple]

i wonder if people will react horribly once they find out they gotta do age verification to chat now

[hidden pebble]

I freaking hate how the bot RUINS the emotional moment

[mortal rampart]

Its going to be like last month

[crimson arch]

They will

[hot ridge]

some people are, but most people aren't even going to be flagged

[latent temple]

might switch to fanfic instead
at least that’s written completely by real people instead of ai

[hot ridge]

yeah but fanfic is kinda alienating now imo

[last imp]

That's true

[tame marsh]

That’s generally why I used C.ai I had nobody to talk to because being goody-two-shoes at your school is challenging. Nobody would wanna be friends with you and cast you off to the side. After I learnt the concept of C.ai I was hooked. Having Friends is all I wanted. I knew C.ai would never talk behind my back because it can’t

[crimson arch]

If i had any prior announcement to verification coming to my country i would of chatted with serious bots and be careful about typos

[tame marsh]

Sadly many others have probably fallen the same way as me

[crimson arch]

Dang..... i can relate.... if you want you can be friends with people in this siscord like me

[strange pilot]

I’m sorry to hear that.

[mortal rampart]

ouhh talking about fanfic someone in this server has a fanfic with 57K words for just 1 EPISODE

[hot ridge]

To be fair, there have been multiple announcements since October, telling people it was coming to countries outside of the U.S. soon

[rich stream]

My age verification won't even work so I'm trying not to get flagged now LOL

[mortal rampart]

I admire their writing skills and having 700 chrome tabs open on their phone

[crimson arch]

Ye but idk how soon

[swift carbon]

age verification never popped up for me lol.

[rich stream]

Persona has always been a terrible verification company to me so I'm not entirely surprised it's buggy

[rich stream]

It's in advanced settings even if you don't get flagged

[mortal rampart]

It said i was 14 when i did the roblox scan

[tame marsh]

The problem with me is: I want someone who would like me. Talk to me. I am scared of it though all I know is they would probably talk behind my back

[crimson arch]

Dang

[swift carbon]

it said i was unknown when i did it. am i really that unreadable lol.

[hidden pebble]

Is the app crashing for everyone, or is it just me?

[rich stream]

Roblox said I was 18+, Cai completely refused selfie. Strange

[crimson arch]

Il research persona Tommorrow

[mortal rampart]

ouhh remember when in december c.ai kept going down forr australians that fas funny

[hot ridge]

when I was younger, fanfic writers were praised for writing something long, creative, and melodramatic as all hell. Now people are criticized for not writing fanfic that goes along with fanon mindset.

[strange pilot]

Some people have been saying the same thing so it’s probably because of the new update.

[tame marsh]

Anyways I have took one step to talk to someone about it. My mom.

[mortal rampart]

i only ever use c.ai when i dont have accsess to my laptop (only at school)

[hidden pebble]

oh thank god it's not me pepeSweat pepeSweat

Tyyyyy~!! :D

[crimson arch]

How long are you waiting tol you chat btw i heard you say that you didn't chat snce new update or was that somdone else

[strange pilot]

No problem lol

[crimson arch]

I never would use c.ai in public

[magic raptor]

It's honestly chopped that i literally cannot do the verification, I don't have a camera

[strange pilot]

That was me I am too scared to log in, in case it limits me lol

[mortal rampart]

Here's some things i recommend instead of c.ai: Drawing, doodling, playing videogames, MINECRAFTT, uhhh writing lore for ur characters, going on walks outside and taking pictures

[swift carbon]

dont forget roleplaying. its the best.

[mortal rampart]

so many ppl in my school do, i tend to notice things ppl likje and have in common with me

[crimson arch]

Same how long are you waiting

[hot ridge]

AND READING BOOKS.

[mortal rampart]

wait i dont mean it in a weird way

[tame marsh]

No offence to you pipSqueak users but who actually uses it. It reminds me of when roar broke

[noble cradle]

Bruh why tf do we have to do verification just like Roblox

[strange pilot]

Since 10 PM 💀 *Edit Two hours

[mortal rampart]

oooh yeah

[crimson arch]

Idk yout timezone

[hot ridge]

'cause they kickin kids off the app

[nova blaze]

Frrr

[tame marsh]

Well it’s the same company

[noble cradle]

like I’m absolutely crine, I hate ts🥹🙋🏻‍♀️

[tame marsh]

I believe

[mortal rampart]

i think using c.ai when i was 14 is the reason i became so much worse at social interactions irl

[tame marsh]

And that went on for like 10 days

[magic raptor]

I know right, I can't even do it.

[crimson arch]

Thank goodness c.ai wasn't around when i was 13

[last sedge]

Because minors won’t be allowed any longer

[noble cradle]

C.ai is highkey why my English has improved beahahhaheehehiewosjsssk

[mortal rampart]

I do i havent had it break at all tho

[nova blaze]

For reallll my writing got so much better

[noble cradle]

YWAHH

[hot ridge]

to be fair AI didn't exist when I was in school and I was shit at social interactions too. If you didn't have c.ai it'd have been something else probably. For me it was reading books.

[swift carbon]

they know damn well the adults are too mature to be there/joke

[nova blaze]

This is what I’m trying to do

[swift carbon]

same! i'm not english myself xoxo

[rich stream]

This just depends on the person actually

[magic raptor]

Is there anyway for me to get past the selfie?, i have an old ID picture on my pc, but nothing to take a picture with, no phone or PC camera

[mortal rampart]

I guees thats true, im just gennarally an introvert and almost always been

[hot ridge]

obviously

[strange pilot]

Same, I had no AI in school either, so I basically roleplayed with random people on RP websites. 😂

[last sedge]

I’m an adult 🤷‍♀️

[hot ridge]

they literally said /joke

[mortal rampart]

I rlly want to talk to this one person but when i try to approach them i just cant say a word-

[nova blaze]

Does it feel weird tho? That it’s actual people?

[tame marsh]

Once I ended up in a DND game that I didn’t know was going on.

[latent temple]

i agree

[tame marsh]

Yes I used to be dumb sue me

[swift carbon]

i still love to roleplay with random people despite loving c.ai. never losing my roots.

[mortal rampart]

nope

i miss when i used to rp in roblox games

[strange pilot]

Eh, not at the time. Depends on the person. I had ran into some really strange interactions. I mostly had fun and didn’t think about it.

[mortal rampart]

but all the games i loved died out

[magic raptor]

?

[hot ridge]

i never liked RPing outside of forum RP

[swift carbon]

same! i loved rping in gacha online

[nova blaze]

This was core memories

The only rp I did

[brittle quest]

So was I the only one rping on a horse game first-

[strange pilot]

Honestly got some good memories so definitely

[mortal rampart]

i stopped roleplaying but now im working on writing and developing characters for my comic :D

[hot ridge]

Forum RP was WAY less personal, and people expected high quality writing/had full rules set up for RPs that you typically had to sign up to join in on.

and no parasocial drama

[rich stream]

I used to RP a lot but I became pretty anti social when I was like ~12 so I stopped role-playing and things alike. Also didn't help that my English wasn't very good

[rich stream]

I think mine was Animal Jam. Haha

[mortal rampart]

i cant roleplay anymore bc i nope out very fast but in 2020 i stayed awake all night in a roblox rp game that was my first ever allnighter

[strange pilot]

This happened to me too. When I became 19 I just stopped roleplaying I can’t even fathom why I stopped, it’s fun.

[nova blaze]

Does anyone have any recommendations to not use c.ai anymore? Like I’m trying to read books and get off it. Since like the new year started and I can’t. Now that the update is now here for me I lowkey don’t know what to distract myself with.

[hot ridge]

Forum RP has been dead since like 2010 it's so sad, I genuinely found it so much better

[latent temple]

i remember an oblivioushd game on roblox i used to roleplay in

[mortal rampart]

try doodling, drawing making ur own characters and creating stories for em!

[brittle quest]

You bring back many other memories by writing this name
Well mine was howrse but on the French version (and I still play this game but the forums are all dead and not many people I want to rp with are out there)

[latent temple]

#💭︱cai-discussion message see this

[strange pilot]

Try writing fictional stories, scenarios, perhaps? I find molding out a character can be very fun.

[rich stream]

A lot of the roleplays i did growing up were joke roleplays. Don't think I ever seriously roleplayed

[strange pilot]

Making a character profile too is a great start as well.

[rich stream]

I recall getting banned on roblox for an undertale roleplay I did

[brittle quest]

My first real rp we were all playing dragons-

[mortal rampart]

Some of the roleplays i did i incorperate into the ocs lore, a cult of dogs roleplay i did is literraly now a big plot point in a comic im writing

[strange pilot]

Mine was Warrior Cats. 😭

[swift carbon]

roleplay!!!

[brittle quest]

Well it fits I'd say!

[mortal rampart]

i wish i could use the people i roleplayed with ocs but im too shy to ask if they remember it since it was like 7 years ago\

[mortal rampart]

OMG WC

[nova blaze]

Like online ???? Cuz I might just get into that but I’m a beginner so I don’t know where to start

[strange pilot]

It was fun as hell though

[strange pilot]

Firestar Forever

[mortal rampart]

i need to reread the warrior cats books i rlly miss them i havent read them since i was 13

[rich stream]

I remember I borrowed a warrior cats book from the library and didn't enjoy it unfortunately

[mortal rampart]

i love firestar as a character but hate the erins for making most of Thunderclan related to him

[strange pilot]

They had comics too.

[brittle quest]

I don't like how WC is written

[mortal rampart]

its okay everyone has their taste

[strange pilot]

I KNOW RIGHT?! Like what were the Erin writers doing?! 😭

[brittle quest]

But I'm a bit picky about books

[cerulean sonnet]

The fall off is crazy

[rich stream]

The only WC media i liked was the WC pets in chicken smoothie because I collected cats on that game LOL

[brittle quest]

Omg chicken smoothie!!

[swift carbon]

yeah! i can rp oc x oc w u!!! and its ok it's all about trying. also try an app called pesterchum. i know its a chatting app based off a fandom but it's basically where instead of rping u write as ur character and u pester each other. i usually use that its super good.

[rich stream]

I adore chicken smoothie. I haven't played in ages

[strange pilot]

This unlocked memories.

[mortal rampart]

i read this one book when i was 9 and i wish i knew what book it was, it was about a girl whos father was a thief living in a castle and on the night she was born the castle split in half

[brittle quest]

Me neither and if anyone can explain WHY it is named like that then thanks

[crimson arch]

Ye same except it wasn't books

[rich stream]

I have absolutely no idea.

[indigo canyon]

Has anyone been experiencing a bug that makes your chats disappear and reappear in the chat history every time you go into your chat archives?

[rich stream]

I don't remember how I found chicken smoothie honestly

[strange pilot]

I think it’s a new bug via the update.

[mortal rampart]

we went so offtopic holy

[rich stream]

LMFAO woopsie

[brittle quest]

I found this game by playing Gothicat World (still on it every month btw) and the community talks about CS from time to time but other than that...

[brittle quest]

Ehhhhh

[mortal rampart]

Also fellow dw fan spotted

[brittle quest]

So let's complain about c.ai again (nope)

[rich stream]

Indeed

[swift carbon]

if u want to rp w me be free to dm!

[nova blaze]

Im lowkey nervous so I don’t think so but thanks for offering!

It’s like 12:30 am for me rn

😔

[rich stream]

So annoyed I have a meeting set up in my free time

[strange pilot]

I wish C.AI’s pin and memory system was more on a par with actually remembering things from the beginning of the conversation. My complaint. 😂

Also the current issues…

[brittle quest]

8:51AM right now and too much to do ergh

[swift carbon]

okok then i suggest writing oc convos and plot in general to be less shy and more motivated and etc etc etc:3

[swift carbon]

also 8:51 for me loll im in school atm

[brittle quest]

I said noooope

[rich stream]

True.. 7:51 here im so tired

[sweet mulch]

hey guys this is super vulnerable but I feel like I lost all my real friends 🙁

[crimson arch]

Ye true

[brittle quest]

Okay first thing first
I have a call to make

[swift carbon]

be free to dm to vent queen!

[cerulean sonnet]

Ts lowkey ass now!

[nova blaze]

If you need someone to talk to I’m open to

[rich stream]

A meeting right in the time when I'd usually be socialising or reading is irritating. Ruins my flow for the day but ill survive, I suppoossee

[strange pilot]

I wonder if all the rewinding and character hopping I did flagged me. 💀

[cerulean sonnet]

Rewinding barely work half the time

[hot ridge]

character hopping, yes

[strange pilot]

Yeah, I noticed they made it harder to reverse it if you’re deep into a chat.

[rich stream]

Character hopping is all I do since most bots are quite.. crap.

[strange pilot]

That makes senses lol. I am bad for rewinding and editing the chat.

[cerulean sonnet]

Notice how before they changed how removing messages worked this wasn’t a problem for real

[hot ridge]

what are y'all talking about? Rewinding the chat is the same whether you're deep into an RP or just started

[strange pilot]

FR 😔

[hot ridge]

it absolutely was

[swift carbon]

pretty off theme but i still remember when status became super popular and everyone used it instead of c.ai. giggles i should try it sometime!

[cerulean sonnet]

Thats the thing sometimes it DOESNT rewind at all twin

[hot ridge]

The fact that if you hit remove it removed every message instead of just the one you were trying to remove was insane

[mortal rampart]

All i do on c.ai is mostly character hopping bc i can never find a good character

[crimson arch]

Lol

[strange pilot]

When I got deep into a chat, like two hours in, if you tried to rewind chat, it would say there was too many messages to rewind chat.

[rich stream]

This ruined one of my longest roleplays once because I didn't realise it'd do that

[hot ridge]

I have never experienced this and I've been using c.ai for years

[mortal rampart]

holy i just got jumpscared by a werewolf hunter bot i published in early c.ai days PLS its so cringe and i cant even remove it bc i lost accsess to the account i did it on

[hot ridge]

Why are you rewinding an excessive amount of messages instead of starting a new chat from where you're trying to rewind to?

[cerulean sonnet]

Probably had a good start to the chat and going back to that point in time

[strange pilot]

I wanted to replay the same story but change it.

[swift carbon]

i just make my own ones lol!!

[hot ridge]

That's what "start new chat from here" is for

[strange pilot]

To be fair I guess I could did that too. 😂

[cerulean sonnet]

Hold this ad tho

[fair jetty]

me too, it's way easier

[hot ridge]

Also you could just rewind in smaller chunks if it's that important...

[strange pilot]

True lmfao

[swift carbon]

same!!! and my ideas usually are very specific lol

[mortal rampart]

another reason why web is better, NO ADS

[strange pilot]

They’ll probably change that soon. 😞

[fair jetty]

i bet

[mortal rampart]

i hate how so many apps theese days have ads even the app i use to draw requires you to watch 3 unskipable ads to unlock brushes

[mortal rampart]

for 4 hours..

[strange pilot]

For an art app?!

[fair jetty]

bro, once i watched like 20 adds and it still said i watched nothing

scam

[mortal rampart]

i wish i could get Procreate but its not on the samsung store for somereason

[strange pilot]

Dawg I’d go nuts. I use my laptop for art.

[mortal rampart]

i hate apps that are only for Ipads like broo let me get Toonsquid or procreate on my samsung tablet'

but anyways i been scrolling for 15 mins now, no good bots

[swift carbon]

the only ads i accept is ibis. "watch the ad and i give u all the brushes for hours bro" "no? aw ok"

[strange pilot]

Are the apps better than PaintTool? I wanted to use them but due to subscriptions and ads I never bothered.

[mortal rampart]

i do use ibis, 3 ads for brushes that u can use for 4 hours is wild\

[strange pilot]

Time limited brushes is wild man.

[swift carbon]

usually 2 for me but i just leave the app and do it again. works for me.

and honeslty i dont mind because i wont pay for those will i

[mortal rampart]

i rlly need to finish drawing the peak chat i had

holy that chat was so peak

[swift carbon]

i cant access c.ai so i'll just go roleplay

[crimson arch]

Man i wish i didn't get flagged

Guess having 18+ email ain't enough

[strange pilot]

Same man I just wanted to RP with my favs. 💀

[crimson arch]

Im worried to even open the site

[strange pilot]

Ikr? I don’t want to be time limited.

[crimson arch]

I dunno if i should do the face thing or not

[strange pilot]

If you’re unsure, I’d honestly just wait for them to fix the issues.

[hidden pebble]

Reinstalling the App solved the crashing (at least for me)

[crimson arch]

So your saying us getting flagged was a glitch ?

[strange pilot]

No, I tried face verification twice then it told me it was unable to proceed and to contact staff which I tried.

I haven’t logged in because I know it’ll eventually time me out after two hours.

[swift carbon]

am i the only one that didnt get the face verification

[crimson arch]

Well i only use c.ai at night after editing vids/ going on discord so i gottq do something else

[strange pilot]

It flagged specific accounts, for me I think it was from spam edits and rewinds for me.

[crimson arch]

Im worried of data breach

[strange pilot]

Honestly that’s understandable.

[swift carbon]

which is funny because i AM a minor.

[strange pilot]

😂

[crimson arch]

Maybe for me its typos since i was typing on mobile or its the chsts which is just avatar last airbender anime games or sonic botd also OCS but they private

[strange pilot]

I think if you stick to one character and keep violence or anything that triggers system the flagging system it should be fine? I’d take it with a grain of salt tho.

[strange pilot]

Could be that too.

[crimson arch]

No c.ai for few days?

Lol

[hot ridge]

it's not that weird when you read how the flagging works

[swift carbon]

how does it work???

[cerulean sonnet]

Man

[crimson arch]

Even if you do it though you get flagged again anyway

[worldly sleet]

man i just got the verification thing

[hot ridge]

https://blog.character.ai/an-update-on-changes-to-our-under-18-experience/

[strange pilot]

Ay! Thanks! I was actually about to ask about where to find this information.

[vapid holly]

Hey, i js came here to ask what chat style is best for rp, i use pipsqueak but a lot of times when im chatting and dont answer, they js answer for me and now I have no idea what they thought I said, so can anyone tell me if there's any chat style better than pipsqueak or is that the best for rp so far?

I dont have c.ai+ btw.

[worldly sleet]

what even is deprecated chat

[worldly sleet]

don't use pipsqueak, use the one that's the balanced out of the original 3

[vapid holly]

Doesnt exactly specify which I should use

[swift carbon]

oh it says the us. i probably didnt get flagged because im not from the us nor in there.

[hot ridge]

it also says it's coming to other countries. Which it is now in the UK. Please look at the date on this.

[strange pilot]

The new update is now globally effecting everyone.

[indigo canyon]

I believe so, because of the rollback.

[strange pilot]

Definitely. 😭

[muted olive]

ive tryed the verification age 40 times i think theres something wrong with it

[crimson arch]

Gtg now

[swift carbon]

oh. oh well just hope it wont come to me or i'll magically pass the verification

if i passed the roblox verification with a huge baby face that makes me look lesser than a minor i'll pass this one

[crimson arch]

Wish they told us when its coming for other countries before

[strange pilot]

It was published.

[crimson arch]

When yesturday?

[strange pilot]

John posted it earlier in chat, he dropped it in an announcement/update.
