[craggy ocean]

Again, I have no reason to trust them with an ID

That’s my personal decision.

[zenith nimbus]

prick?

[rustic pecan]

Your arguments fall apart if you actually research persona lmfao

[cobalt hull]

So why make it an issue

[tender grove]

prick 😖

[cobalt hull]

Then keep it personal

[raw mirage]

Digging way too deep because some people genuinely walk around thinking they are gonna be harmed by giving their id to a bank level security website of 8 years thats never been breached and then getting others to be scared? Sure.

[zenith nimbus]

prick

[tender grove]

do I scare you

[cobalt walrus]

Everything can be hacked, banks, governments, phones, even cars. So that's the same thing, but at a different scale of, idk, problem or something?

[compact tartan]

Yes

[raw mirage]

Fr

[ancient storm]

Hey HARL

[tender grove]

BOO!

[cobalt walrus]

I've even seen an article years ago about electric cars getting hacked

[raw mirage]

HEY TEKASHI

[compact tartan]

hm

[zenith nimbus]

you wish, the only thing that scares me are the borg, centipedes, and the crushing feelings of loneliness.

[wise verge]

Teslas get hacked to change the path in auto driving and to make accidents

[tender grove]

you seem to scare a lot of people here 😖😖😖

[ancient storm]

WYDDD BESIDES EXPLAINING THE ID THING AGAIN?

[rustic pecan]

Like you don’t have to trust them whatever don’t give your ID. But the arguments they use don’t work based on companies who use persona and their certifications.

[raw mirage]

Most things nowadays with banks and stuff most likely get thrown onto a database too, ide assume thats what the computers are for🤷🏻‍♀️

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, anything that has technology gets hacked at one point, even if it's a computer that'll be used for a single task.

[zenith nimbus]

i’m not scary, i am a perfectly reasonable fellow. i could be described as a golden retriever.

[raw mirage]

Same day same crap.

[tawdry birch]

i no longer do either. i did at first due to having a friend who works with ai and who has done research on persona telling me that it was trustworthy but this experience has caused me to no longer trust it. it doesn't help that some people get so horrendously defensive the very millisecond that you imply there might maybe be something wrong.

[tender grove]

do you read feminist literature

[rustic pecan]

People don’t like misinfo. There’s a difference.

[zenith nimbus]

no but i do watch star trek, so it is like the same thing.

[tender grove]

valid yes

[wise verge]

We don’t get defensive, we explain from A to B that no there is nothing wrong. Read lawsuits yourself and you’ll see

[tender grove]

lothie is a prick

[wise verge]

😮

[raw mirage]

In the nicest way possible, its like if somebody read the chipotle article years ago and assumed everybody whos ever eaten chipotle got sick or died.

[zenith nimbus]

the prickest prick to ever prick.

[ancient storm]

Lmaoo this will never get old

[tender grove]

he is

[raw mirage]

NO. NO ITS GETTING OLD REAL QUICK

[wise verge]

I’ll take your words for it

[zenith nimbus]

live, laugh, love captain janeway.

[craggy ocean]

I think it’s because they don’t want to believe it might not be as trustworthy as it seems, like none of us know for sure. But acting like you know it’s safe is wrong, because it might not be? Idk… maybe I’m not being clear enough. It’s more of a safety concern than a frustration.

[tender grove]

I'm joking he's actually really awesome

[wise verge]

It is too old already fr

[tawdry birch]

that???? wasn't what i was doing though?????? you're projecting your frustrations with others onto me and that's frankly not cool bro i can't lie

[wise verge]

I see I see x)

[ancient storm]

HOW IF ITS A EVERY DAY THING

[raw mirage]

Oh using my own experiences to act a certain way... Hmmm..

[tender grove]

true that's you

[compact tartan]

is this a debate anymore or is it an argument over the verification

[cobalt walrus]

At least, it's not like the ad drama. That lasted for a while, but not that long. The age verification thingy lasts since the end of last year.

[raw mirage]

BECAUSE ITS EVERY DAY. AFTER THE 50TH TIME EXPLAINING IT IM JUST GONNA BE MEAN FOR THE HELL OF IT.

[compact tartan]

luckily web users dont get ads

[zenith nimbus]

we just call each other prick for fun

[rustic pecan]

People will come in here and say Persona has had leaks and breaches and that’s not true. They say it’s had lawsuits, but they were settled and corrected. They inaccurately represent what Persona was sued over. It’s not a random company like Discord used. Like if you’re going to be against it, at least be accurate and let people make properly informed decisions.

[craggy ocean]

It’s just crazy that we were taught never to share personal information online, and now people are fine with handing out an ID to a company that people think they can trust.

[ancient storm]

AND THEN SOME GET NUKED FOR YK WHAT AFTERWARDS

[wise verge]

I see that dw, been looking at your convo while arguing tbf x)

[raw mirage]

Yknow what else we are taught..? Not to talk to strangers on the internet

[cobalt walrus]

I'm an app user and I never got ads. Idk how, but I guess it has to do with the location? Some countries has specific laws with ads in apps but I'm not sure.

[tender grove]

lothie is annoying and a total prick

[cerulean dust]

Hullo internet people! I feel kinda lonely so I just came here to say hello to everyone for a bit.

[compact tartan]

OH funny

[rustic pecan]

I’ve had to hand over my ID to unknown companies to get jobs lmfao

[zenith nimbus]

lmao, i hope it has brought you some respite in these trying times.

[rustic pecan]

Hello!!!

[zenith nimbus]

omg you hate me you prick

[wise verge]

It has, some of my hair turned back to brown instead of white

[cobalt walrus]

I've had to hand mine to prove that I could be referred as an adult to google or youtube

[tender grove]

yeah I do??? lol who are you

[wise verge]

Ditto

[raw mirage]

It just reminds me of back when i worked in customer service and the whole fake id slot thingy was found in a few stores and the boomers started refusing to use their credit cards because they thought ever credit card reader was gonna steal their information

[zenith nimbus]

we bring love and hope wherever we go

[cobalt hull]

Side thing, still love that I can create bots and make stories that I’ll enjoy. But just don’t fully like how I can’t talk to it. But hey, I can still read my stories and I’m fine with that

[cobalt walrus]

It's been almost a decade already since I've did this, damn.

[tawdry birch]

the difference here is that i WAS NOT TRYING TO DEBATE BRO. idk what you want from me here. tbf you literally just admitted that you're just being mean for no reason now due to frustration soooo.

[tender grove]

you bring pain, misery and doom in my life

[wise verge]

Only two years for me

[ancient storm]

LMAO THIS OR THAT THEIR MONEY WOULD BE STOLLEN😭

[tender grove]

I love lothie sm/p

[raw mirage]

Yes im being mean because its the same conversation 3 times every day since this id stuff has came out. Its like telling a toddler not to do something 3 times in an hour its gonna get old

[craggy ocean]

It’s funny when people don’t let you have an opinion right? Or just have a feeling that maybe something can’t be trusted if you don’t know enough about what you’re doing.

[rustic pecan]

I am exhausted of being nice atp lmao

[cobalt walrus]

I get it, it's getting frustrating at one moment

[zenith nimbus]

yeah and you wish death upon me, you bring nothing but doom and gloom into my life.

[spice fern]

Its coming across as yall are bullying people for being cautious to be honest and thats not cool and you want them to feel crazy that they dont blindly trust these people with their personal information

[half dawn]

Or worse when it the same people almost everyday doing it.

[tender grove]

WHEN DID I DO THAT??????

[wise verge]

I might stop replying to those fr, it’s getting tiring let them stew in their frustration at this point

[tawdry birch]

good for you but that's not my fault??? don't take your shit out on me, man. i don't think very highly of myself but even i know i haven't done anything to deserve that.

[zenith nimbus]

ilyt/p

[tender grove]

lothie hold me back

[rustic pecan]

Actually we said we understand people being hesitant and worried lmfao

[cobalt walrus]

Or ignore/block that kind of people, they can be annoying sometimes lol.

[rustic pecan]

I need to stop 😭😭😭

[zenith nimbus]

picks you up.

[ancient storm]

Lmao I have a feeling Harley's head is about to boom-boom for some particular reason

[craggy ocean]

Fr the amount of people that are just like “Hand in your ID” it just sounds like something out of a futuristic apocalyptic sci-fi movie where everyone is under high surveillance.

[tender grove]

lothie is a strong man

[raw mirage]

Like no melissa, sticking your credit card into the credit card slot is not gonna get your information stolen in your average walmart unlike what you read once on facebook, i get paid minimum wage just stick your damn card in

[craggy ocean]

Think about it “Hand in your ID” sounds like a threat, not something you’d willingly do.

[rich stream]

ignoring the whole point and playing victim is something this server does so offen....

[tawdry birch]

i can't lie i came in here to talk because what just happened made me feel unsafe and i wanted help. so to just get attacked immediately for no reason. i feel BAD in the mental rn bro.

[ancient storm]

And let's be fr, most of them don't have alot of money either so, they're worried about what, 100$?

[tender grove]

repost @zenith nimbus

[raw mirage]

My point exactly

[zenith nimbus]

i am not a strong man per se, just a well trained one.

[raw mirage]

Man, im off my meds i dont have the mental strength for this

[tender grove]

lothie is a well trained man and he's very cool

[knotty jay]

Listen it’s not the fact we don’t as you put it let you have a opinion that’s all good and dandy that you have a opinion and we don’t really care about making you change your mind but this whole complaining about age verification and giving your ID is getting very old since it’s been happening since late October early December at this point it’s same shit different day you are entitled to your opinion and that is fine but give it a rest okay bye go touch grass go take a break have fun

[zenith nimbus]

[rustic pecan]

So many companies have asked for my ID at this point and its been scanned across the globe idgaf anymore

[ancient storm]

Some people are being more paranoid then actual rich people who have alot of credit cards LMAO

[compact tartan]

customer service is hell

[half dawn]

What it comes down to is simply. This conversation has been happening everyday since October, with a lot people starting the conversation or stating their opinion. But the answers will not change because they can not. So people are getting frustrated with the same thing everyday, when literally nothing will change the answers to the questions/opinions.

[tender grove]

this is hell

[weary valley]

Does anyone have the chatbox problem

[ancient storm]

It's alright Harl, ya' can rest soldier

[zenith nimbus]

and we are but it’s sinners.

[cobalt walrus]

But at least, it's not like your government wants a law where the entire population has four months to show your face before using a social media (if it happens, it'll probably start at the end of the year, awesome). I definitively don't hate my country for doing such things. Oh, and they also want to ban vpns lmao.

[tender grove]

whos we.

[raw mirage]

Thank you, im being a female dog rn but this THIS IS MY POINT

[zenith nimbus]

we are it’s sinners

[craggy ocean]

If this is the UK I’m actually gonna cry. The government has been messing everything up

[tender grove]

I don't sin.

[spice fern]

Yeah but yall Harley in particular are being rambunctious. Not everyone has to belive what you belive

[cobalt walrus]

It's France kek

[zenith nimbus]

gay

[half dawn]

You are completely welcome. I get it and a lot of others do to.

[craggy ocean]

RIP, I’m sorry

[tender grove]

yeah sorry I forgot that was a sin 😅

[compact tartan]

The problem was people spreading misinformation about Persona

[cobalt walrus]

Idc, I'll use a vpn if it happens. It's impossible to ban these

[raw mirage]

What do you mean not everybody has to believe it? You dont need to believe it because ITS THE TRUTH REGARDLESS

[wise verge]

It’s not…?

[rich stream]

The UK already asks for ID on everything

[compact tartan]

The problem is less that people are being yelled at for disliking it, but for spreading misinformation. Even I do not like the update, but I recognize that persona is a bank grade secuirty

[raw mirage]

If i had a penny, for everytime this happened. Ide be rich.

[craggy ocean]

“Misinformation” if you just do a quick check or listen to what that person said. There is reasonable proof they are storing information for longer than they stated.

[spice fern]

🙄🙄

[compact tartan]

Persona has bank-grade security, and I believe no lawsuits

[knotty jay]

No truth without a valid vetted source when it comes to stuff said online

[tender grove]

hypocrisy

[half dawn]

Same especially during the first month of this.

[craggy ocean]

Wrong, they do have lawsuits.

[tawdry birch]

yo can i friend rq you /nf

[raw mirage]

I hope you did not just say there is no proof as there is hundreds of pictures and websites of proof

[rustic pecan]

The main lawsuit it had involved not disclosing how long they hold data. This has since been settled and updated. Their site reflects this.

[craggy ocean]

Sorry, I don’t want to. But not because I don’t like you. Just because I don’t want to tbh. Don’t wanna sound rude.

[tawdry birch]

it's okay

[craggy ocean]

I have enough pings on discord anyways

[raw mirage]

It makes me feel like im in customer service again.

[knotty jay]

But is it from trusted sources that is the thing

[rustic pecan]

You can literally research Persona and get info 😭😭😭

[compact tartan]

Right mb I recall it was settled i meant no ongoing lawsuits

[raw mirage]

Yup.. Fraid so..

On the other hand the only website ive been told about saying the opposite was a pc selling website that was super sketchy..

[rustic pecan]

Yesh there are suits. But NOTHING involving or questioning their security.

[still jetty]

Hey I have question the search thing is broken or what the heck ?
Because I was trying search for character ,is not part of Disney related
It gaves me just random results

[compact tartan]

I have amnesia chat mb and also I've stated earlier that they have bank grade security, I agree with you

[knotty jay]

I know about persona but they out here talking about something from 2023-2024 that’s old news and even new year new rat has done said stuff about persona cause they use it in their work

[rustic pecan]

Search has been broken on and off for everyone

[compact tartan]

yeah

[rustic pecan]

It keeps working and then not working 😭😭😭

[still jetty]

So it’s a bug?

[wise verge]

Yep

[still jetty]

Yeah I’m noticed my messages get repeat double too ..

[lyric wedge]

sorry but who asked for ‘characters can now message you proactively’……. I TURNED OFF AWAY MESSAGES FOR A REASON 😭😭

[rustic pecan]

Lmfaaao I had to turn off away messages per chat and wherever else to make them go away

[lyric wedge]

may have to do this… just annoying because it’s interrupting my rps with some stupid “[character] waits for user to return…” like girl they never left but whatever

[knotty jay]

Mine straight up broke I have it turned on but I never receive any

[still jetty]

Seriously the search is broken for how long?

[rustic pecan]

Its been broken for a few days

[knotty jay]

Search is broken on and off

[compact tartan]

Y'all got away messages?

[knotty jay]

Nah I have that setting turned on in chats and I receive nada for me it’s fully broken

[cobalt walrus]

It is, unfortunately. And there's already an app where you have to show your face in order to use it, it's turning into 1984 by George Orwell at this rate, I'm afraid

[rustic pecan]

Not anymore thank god

[compact tartan]

Yea

it was broken for us too so i turned it off

[wise verge]

For now it’s on discussion, not yet voted for social media’s at least

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, what a wonderful world we live in.

[still jetty]

Have anyone where I can try to put ticket to let them know about the search is broken?

[wise verge]

They know it’s broken dw, made an announcement somewhere I believe

[knotty jay]

#📈︱status message

[cobalt walrus]

Oh, well, it seems that my for you page has turned back to normal. With recommended bots from the fandom I'm in. Just had to wait like a week, nice.

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[knotty jay]

It returned to normal for me as well I was happy also I figured out the secret of the Cai recommended bots list cause when you chat with a variety of fandoms at once it gets all jumbled around but when you stick to one or two it stays with those it’s really weird

[rustic pecan]

That’s how I curated my fyp between that and hiding things I’d never think of interacting with

[cobalt walrus]

I literally stick with one fandom and a lot of recommended bots are the character that I crush on, and then there's a random ceo husband bot between those too

[rustic pecan]

This happened to meee

[spice fern]

Anyone got Elliot Stabler bots ?

[severe willow]

Who?

[rustic pecan]

They were removed afaik

[deft jetty]

Who

rip

[spice fern]

👀 okie

[summer island]

Y'all I got a 10 minutes break did they FINALLY fix the break time

[spice fern]

The man from law and order svu he kinda bald headed but not fully

[rustic pecan]

Break time only goes away if you’re over 18

[summer island]

Didn't do the verification twin

[rustic pecan]

My point remains the same. No verifying of it prompted you to do it = limited to no chatting

Verifying means you’re an adult permitted to chat.

[queen mesa]

does anybody know what to do if it wont accept ur ID

[rustic pecan]

Submit a bug report if you’re 18+

[queen mesa]

i did multiple times

heck i even used my moms ID and it still didn't work

[rustic pecan]

Goodbye

I’m going to plus

[queen mesa]

kk bye

[compact tartan]

#📜︱rules

[queen mesa]

[glossy kayak]

58 messages from you guys is wild i need to tune in more and WHY ARE YOU GUYS UP AT 5 AM MATTER FACT 4 AM MY GOWAD?!

[queen mesa]

so i used my moms and it still didn't work

what do i do

put make-up on

and im 18

[spice fern]

Open a ticket maybe?

[harsh shoal]

Don't use a different ID from your own AFTER you used a selfie. It will flag it immediately

[forest furnace]

Verification not working well?

Try doing these steps to ensure a successful validation.

Lighting is very important. For selfies, it's better if you're next to a light source like a lamp or near your window. It's also better if you take the selfie standing in front of a wall.

For your IDs, place it on top of a solid color surface like a mat or a piece of paper. Make sure it's illuminated properly (such as having it under direct light), and make sure every part of it can be seen properly without it blurring.

Please let us know if these steps help.

Follow these steps ^

[half ocean]

No reply from c.ai support. Apple can’t do anything, last resort is google support bc they block all the c.ai email accounts from even being sent to me

[harsh shoal]

What do you need from support?

[queen mesa]

i alreadfy put make-up on

[quasi lotus]

i dont know if its okay to share in here, but i would appreciate who is a fan of Ghost COD. interact with this!! :)
https://share.character.ai/Wv9R/2ikkzbm2

[queen mesa]

it didn't work

i put a full face of make-up on foe no reason

[compact tartan]

What

[viral compass]

Is it just me or is verification been removed? Cuz I was on reading mode because I hadn't verified myself, now the verification option is gone? Is this a bug or has it been removed?

[strange inlet]

its not in every country for now

[viral compass]

epic, thanks

[coral magnet]

Idk if this is the right chat, but im 43 minutes into the day, cai has been open for 41 minutes and it says i was on for an hour 🥹 i think not

[fossil crow]

I think it's having some mild calibration issues (aka a concussion)

[coral magnet]

Ohh

[rustic pecan]

If you leave it open in the background, that counts your time.

[coral magnet]

It was closed

[rustic pecan]

Ahhh. That sucks then.

[coral magnet]

Yeahh

[strange inlet]

my recommendations have completely lost the plot and are recommending slop

Im so mad

[icy frost]

omg mine r so bad and repetitive 🥹

[glossy kayak]

What?

[errant jackal]

Do you mean a random chatbot recommendation in the main menu of CAI?

[grand nebula]

Has the age verification went over America? What countries had started to receive age verification?

[fossil crow]

Ik at least Canada should have it

[knotty jay]

America got hit first cause cai’s headquarters is located in California where they passed a law for age verification so cai had to follow the law or face legal action against them meaning no more cai

[strange inlet]

bots that have nothing to do with the bots i actually use

been a while since its done it to me...

[knotty jay]

I’ve figured that out on how to get it to stay on the same page with you cause i found out that by chatting with more than two characters from different fandoms the algorithm gets confused and starts recommending junk out of nowhere

[strange inlet]

yeah i noticed, used a varka bot and thats probably what messed it up, let me use whoever i want without being recommended unrelated slop...

blond man why must you betray me...

[errant jackal]

we are not alone. The chatbot recommendations on CAI have been very random for a long time.

[half ocean]

I asked them for help regarding verification emails not reaching my inbox, because Gmail has labeled all character ai email addresses ([e-mail] and all related others) as junk, and is blocking them before they reach my inbox, I get that’s it’s security, but it means I can’t access my c.ai account without it

[strange inlet]

i used to have semi related stuff, now it's ass and more

[knotty jay]

I think it also goes based off keywords or something which is stupid cause I did a cheater bot and all of a sudden I’ve got random slop that has the same cheater keywords somewhere

[strange inlet]

i dont feel like roleplaying anymore

[errant jackal]

#1463501047715725365 maybe you can check out here

[strange inlet]

im too lazy i'll cope

[harsh shoal]

You can manually take them off by clicking "Report not spam"

[rustic pecan]

My reccs are great for the most part. I mostly stick to a small group of similar bots and hide ones I’d never touch. It helps a lot.

[strange inlet]

i just wanted to stray and use a genshin bot... guess i'll go back to dc only...

[errant jackal]

Yeah, me and maybe some Veteran cai are starting to get bored with roleplaying because of one bug that makes it unbearable...

[strange inlet]

eugh and it's all weird bots too

[strange inlet]

i'm a veteran ive been using since beta

im not bored of roleplaying i just hate it when my recommendations show me stuff id never use

[half ocean]

The issue is they’re not showing up in any folder. Spam, trash, promotions, the All Mail folder, nowhere, and I’ve added them to my gmail contacts so they’re marked as safe but still nothing. I contacted Apple support and am now emailing Google support, since they’re my last hope

[errant jackal]

oh man, the legend old cai🥲

[compact tartan]

[harsh shoal]

Can you DM me your email?

[indigo hull]

is it common for cai to acts up when you change something about your persona and it wont let you switch to said persona you changed something about

[stiff oak]

@compact tartan hmmm, maybe? Its been like this since last night and even tried it with my data on ☹️

[compact tartan]

Ooof im sorry

[knotty jay]

Sadly you have to restart the entire thing from the beginning i learned when making characters that the Ai goes based off what you originally started with so when you change personas or Change info about personas you have to restart everything if you grab the character creator role from #👥︱self-roles then you can access #1193330096342319186 that help you learn more about stuff

[bright solar]

is it cause of the age thing?

[clear jasper]

Yeah

[rustic pecan]

Kappa isn’t online rn…

[compact tartan]

I pinged Kappa because I've talked with him before and hes been helpful

[rustic pecan]

I’m just saying it might be a bit since he’s not around lmao

[strange inlet]

yeah

[compact tartan]

its okay

[static mulch]

Tbh I'm like. Really confused as to why the edit thing got removed

[compact tartan]

for minors it did

because of concerns regarding teens

[static mulch]

Oh

[compact tartan]

im sorry thats the simpler explanation im sorry rise can probably explain better

[cinder lily]

All good with the roles. For the verification, I sent the instructions above.

[cinder lily]

^ @hidden knoll

[static mulch]

It's alright dw

[compact tartan]

[hidden knoll]

@cinder lily

problem

the discord linking website is not working for me

its not loading

[hushed zinc]

What does linking Cai + to Discord do again?

[strange inlet]

accesses a new channel category and you get shiny roles

[rustic pecan]

Also lets you send images and bypass slow mode

[strange inlet]

yea that too

[hushed zinc]

That’s it? Okie! Thank you for answering~

[strange inlet]

im sleepy im not using my whole brain

[hidden knoll]

why did u use the ~

[strange inlet]

why not? it's charming i think

i use it sometimes

[hushed zinc]

So my response doesn’t come off as sarcastic over text

[strange inlet]

tone tags

[hidden knoll]

alr i cant link my account to c.ai

[strange inlet]

or just saying your tone intention in parenthesis

idk how to spell that word

[hidden knoll]

i cant link my acc to the c.ai

[strange inlet]

it should literally just open discord

[hidden knoll]

the linking website doenst load

i give up, anyways whay yall doing

[strange inlet]

not much

[hidden knoll]

im bored

bc idk what chatbot could entertain me

[compact tartan]

do server boosters also get the shiny role or is that c.ai+ only been wondering

[strange inlet]

🤷‍♀️

[compact tartan]

ohh

[knotty jay]

Clear your cache for the website it did it to me once and after I did this it worked again

[knotty jay]

I boosted a little while ago and they also have color roles and have access to special channels for boosters I don’t remember the exact details of everything

[compact tartan]

I believe there's normal color roles and the shiny ones, right?

also ty for answerng

[knotty jay]

I’m not sure if there are shiny for boosters go check gen 1 cause boost users chat there so you can ask them

[clear jasper]

Can I have a shiny color

[upbeat pecan]

Messages are getting cut off frequently what's going on?

[hidden knoll]

alr im linked

[knotty jay]

Yay glad you were able to link it

[stoic barn]

I'm wait to them to respond to the ticket

[knotty jay]

What’s the ticket about?

Cause they have been slow with tickets mine from the 13th of January has still not been answered

[remote prawn]

oh my lord... tell me why i just saw a bot for kai t***p

[wicked stump]

because it was in yo recommendations

duh

[stoic barn]

They age verify button isn't work for me

[tender grove]

dead chat

[knotty jay]

I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying this as well

[stoic barn]

It's just bug

[knotty jay]

Yeah it’s a bug hopefully they fix it soon so you can verify

[remote prawn]

i got a lot of bots in my recommended list from things i don't even like. don't like last of us and there's a lot of ellie williams bots or these random anime bots and i don't like anime... aint my doing

[stoic barn]

I'm going relaxed and there busy too so and they fix it soon

I did a ticket

[stoic barn]

It is bug

[abstract folio]

I need help

I can't verify my age because I don't have a camera and the dumb ai age restricted me

[stiff void]

Why am i on reading mode I verified my face already gng🥀🥀

[sinful tree]

we have to verified our face?? ..

[winter surge]

Your phone doesn’t have a camera?

[red rover]

Can unlisted bots and private bots send you away messages?

[abstract folio]

Why do you assume I use a phone? I'm on computer.

[native eagle]

well most cai users use the app its a fair assumption. but you do need a camera to verify so try from your phone if you can, like download the app there and login

[abstract folio]

I don't have a smartphone

[native eagle]

then you can't verify it needs a selfie/ID to verify youre above 18 and give you access, maybe you can borrow someone else's

[sinful tree]

just for ask if i don’t verify i can’t talk w bot?

[rustic pecan]

Correct

[sinful tree]

ohh thats why I search for a new bot it’s says « something. went wrong » ect ??

[granite maple]

Anyone else's bots got very strict? ;A;
I have a scientist RP, where my character studies anomalies and different type of creatures, but everytime I suggest examining them in the lab, the chat go "I can't help you with that" or warning me of gore. ;A; It isnt even anything gory, my scientist studies their patterns instead of doing butchering.

[rustic pecan]

Is it the actual filter or a bot message?

[abstract folio]

I... I don't have to explain how stupid of a system that is, do I? How did that get approved???

[rustic pecan]

It’s not stupid. It’s logical.

[granite maple]

Bot message!

[abstract folio]

If you forget there are people without a million devices

[rustic pecan]

Just keep swiping. It does that.

[native eagle]

it's not cai's decision either, they have to follow a law and impose this on the userbase

[abstract folio]

They should have other ways to verify

[dry palm]

I havent recived the age verfication

what is it only avilable at?

i heard tons of people talk about it

[rustic pecan]

I’m sorry, but most people have access to a device with a camera. People who don’t are outliers. They have to do age verification as told by the law. You’re given two chances to prove you’re an adult if you’re flagged as a minor.

[granite maple]

Yep, I did. I also rewinded and refreshed the bot, started a new conversation, but it keeps saying this. ;A; Should I just redo the bot?

[abstract folio]

You don't care about outliers?

[rustic pecan]

Internal check —> selfie —> ID if selfie fails is perfectly fair.

[rustic pecan]

I would maybe.

[abstract folio]

Stop. I'm not having this discussion.

[rustic pecan]

I didn’t say that. I’m saying they will cater to the majority.

[granite maple]

Thank you!

[rustic pecan]

But lol ok.

[native eagle]

the verify is handled by a third-party named Persona, that's the system that checks your age, so that too is out of their control. besides, I don't know what other ways there would be for someone to show they're of age ...

[abstract folio]

I literally have a card for that exact purpose. There should be a place I can show it to someone for this.

[rustic pecan]

There aren’t other alternatives that cover their butts enough. They have to be thorough.

[compact tartan]

Hi.

[paper bolt]

having a card doesn’t estimate ur age, anyone can have a card

[abstract folio]

Do you not know what an id card is for?

[native eagle]

i thought you meant credit card

[paper bolt]

id. its in the name, you show your ID to VERIFY

[compact tartan]

[paper bolt]

dear lord

[rustic pecan]

I’m so tired.

[abstract folio]

Yeah, and guess what it has on it? Your date of birth.

[compact tartan]

i hope for no arguments

[half dawn]

Character.AI partners with a third-party service called Persona (not to be confused with AI character personas) for age verification as part of its age assurance system.

This started rolling out in late 2025 to restrict 1:1 chats with bots for users under 18, while allowing limited creative experiences for teens.

Age assurance first uses an in-house model analyzing signals like login info, platform activity, and third-party data to estimate if a user is 18+ — no personal data upload needed at this stage.

Verification is not required for everyone — only if the system flags a user as potentially under 18 and they want access to 18+ features.

The verification process typically starts with a quick selfie taken through Persona, which uses AI to estimate age in seconds.
If the selfie is inconclusive, Persona may ask to upload a government-issued ID as a final step (e.g., driver's license or passport).
Character.AI does not collect, access, or store selfies or IDs — Persona handles everything, deletes biometric data quickly (often within hours/days), and keeps any ID for only one week.

Persona is a reputable provider (used by companies like OpenAI, LinkedIn, and Reddit) with strong privacy and security controls.

Users can access verification via Settings → Advanced → Verify Age (on app or web), and it works across devices.

Under-18 users stay in a restricted experience without needing to verify; over-18 users flagged by mistake can verify to regain full access.

[native eagle]

I can only reccomend you borrow your friends' phone to do the verification there and scan your document

[rustic pecan]

I’m letting it go so no argument from meeee

[compact tartan]

Im glad

[abstract folio]

I'm well aware. I'm just saying if they think this is a solution that works for everyone they need to stop sniffing glue and go outside for a change.

[compact tartan]

i just say that cause i get tired of explaining it too everyday

[compact tartan]

It's not meant to be perfect, but it is meant to work for most users. most people have devices with a camera. im sorry it doesnt work for u

[paper bolt]

what happens if you just make a new account tho will u have to verify to start chatting?

[compact tartan]

Only if you are flagged, I believe

[lost veldt]

why is there ads on the website (I only use the website so I've never seen ads on it until just now) did they change something for ads to start popping up?

[paper bolt]

ohhh i see i see

[half dawn]

If you get flagged again yeah.

[abstract folio]

How do I get in contact with a team member about this?

[compact tartan]

Hello what??? im a web user dont tell me we are getting ads LOL

[native eagle]

wait fr lol? I have extensions I wouldnt have noticed

are they banner ads

[paper bolt]

damn i use to web and i’ve never gotten an ad😕

[lost veldt]

Yeah

[rustic pecan]

They’ll still check your age and a new account is arguably worse because they don’t have a history to do age assurance on.

Also yall should have kept your mouths shut about no ads on web and not draw attention to it 😭😭😭

[paper bolt]

woopsie

[lost veldt]

gulps sorry

[paper bolt]

gonna get hunted down

[compact tartan]

😭

[native eagle]

nah it was coming imo

[compact tartan]

Were they meant to show on web? can't say i have ever seen them

[half dawn]

They never said it would work for everyone. But it does work for most. Unfortunately not everything works for everybody.

[native eagle]

same

[abstract folio]

They have the ability to add more ways and that's what I'm wanting.

[paper bolt]

what other ways do you mean tho💔

[rustic pecan]

Probably not but I’d stay quiet anyway lmfao

[abstract folio]

I already said, scroll up if you're that interested

[native eagle]

I don't think you did

[half dawn]

I'm sure they will, but it will be after this way is put out globally not before. I'm sure this process is already costing them a ton of money.

[paper bolt]

you said id, id is already an option and you cant use a credit card as a form of verification

[compact tartan]

I believe Davin had said since they cannot use camera to show ID they wanted to show it to someone in person

[native eagle]

oh

[paper bolt]

sounds like davins problem then

[abstract folio]

ID CARD NOT CREDIT CARD WHY WOULD I USE A CREDIT CARD FOR ID

[compact tartan]

I'm quite confused. Most users have a webcam and that's why the options to verify feature using a camera to show your info

[paper bolt]

dude id is an option

what

[compact tartan]

[abstract folio]

I mean in person so a cam is not needed

[paper bolt]

oh my god

[native eagle]

I don't think that's nowhere doable

[compact tartan]

dude im sorry but the way to verify is using a camera

[abstract folio]

That's moronic.

[native eagle]

it's 2026

[abstract folio]

Just saying.

[compact tartan]

Exactly. This update is meant to be put out to every country. Which would be easier, one user getting a camera? Or c.ai adding places to verify in person everywhere. Smh.

[paper bolt]

you can’t just meet up with a moderator and go ‘oh look here’s my id!’

[compact tartan]

LMAO

[rustic pecan]

I pointed out that most people have a device with a camera and they got mad at me so.

[native eagle]

honestly it'd be so funny. cai convention

[paper bolt]

yup very much davins problem

[jagged pollen]

Well... It finally happened, I no longer can temporary chat less I try to use the face thing. I doubt I'll be lucky if I can get it to work on my phone after the failed attempts from last time with trying to loophole it.
Man I am really sad about this.

[compact tartan]

im not trying to be mean but rise is right. the update is meant to allow most users to verify. not having a camera is someone else's problem

[abstract folio]

If you can't provide a solution that works for every user, you have failed. End of story.

[spice fern]

Nah cause that sounds really funny 😂😂 like here's my ID please let me participate in using C.ai

[half dawn]

Maybe go to a library pretty sure they have computers with cameras now days.

[paper bolt]

HELP REAL

[compact tartan]

For example, I couldn't download Marvel Rivals because my laptop is too weak. But I don't complain because that's my problem, not Marvel Rivals. So I donn't understand why someone without a camera would blame c.ai for not adding an in person option. When this update is meant to be across countries.

[granite maple]

Its illegal in a lot of country to ask for ID information to verify, let alone ask users to take a picture of it, this is why most of the time it's selfie verification, I think

[abstract folio]

The thing is, I could use it before, just not now.

[compact tartan]

Listen, I don't like this update, but it's not realisitc for them to set up stations to show your ID for c.ai. Because this update is meant to be in multiple countries

[granite maple]

Atleast in my country it's not an option at all, due legal reasons

[native eagle]

iirc cai deletes your information after 7 days though, otherwise they'd get lawsuits

[rustic pecan]

That’s a reason it’s selfie first yeah

[abstract folio]

Why would they use an ai to make that desision?

[rustic pecan]

Persona not CAI for the record!

[abstract folio]

They aren't ready for that

[native eagle]

oops yeah

[compact tartan]

yawns im sleepy

[paper bolt]

i mean i don’t agree with the update but obviously it’s not really in their control because of the laws and stuff but like a lot of their users are under 18 so like what are they gonna do when they lose loads of users yk😕

[jagged pollen]

I don't even know what to do. I mean. This sucks because I'm essentially locked out now unless I try to face verify.

[compact tartan]

minors are the minority. most users are adults. but i agree. with the laws, they didnt have much of a choice!

the statisitcs show that more users are adults :<

[native eagle]

minors are the ones more vocal so it may seem the opposite lol

[paper bolt]

oh really 😕 i thought it was many teenagers

[granite maple]

Same reason why the bots are AI and not real person

[paper bolt]

mainly*

[compact tartan]

this server is 13+ so the view of the population can be shifted. Discord Server is 13 plus, whereas c.ai is moving to be 18+ to have all the features

[abstract folio]

That logic makes no sense, these are nowhere near the same scenario

[native eagle]

I'm interested in seeing what will be of this server when the update reaches everyone

[compact tartan]

I hate the update but yknow what I hate more? the arguments over it 😭 and the misinformation i see everyday tbh

[native eagle]

would you sit down and estimate thousand of people's ages from selfies?

[paper bolt]

i’m pretty sure the face verification is broken rn from what i read earlier in the chat and i’ve already tried to verify afew times like 10 minutes ago and it wouldn’t let me

[abstract folio]

There are so many unemployed who would

[spice fern]

Is yall c.ai keep loading too or just me ?

[jagged pollen]

Well in my defense of things I did try to use outside sources, on my computer, to try and work around it -- the camera can detect the movement, but it's always saying the image isn't clear enough or whatever.

[native eagle]

slowly facepalming

[paper bolt]

absolute carnage

[rustic pecan]

Its been working for some people but not others

[granite maple]

The userbase is huge. Imagine having daily 10K+ users trying to verify people's ages. Its time consuming. A lot of time consuming.
Same reason why people like this app - they can get online anytime, stop and start RP without needing to wait for another human to answer.

[paper bolt]

yeah same here even when i’m getting absolutely blinded by my light it still says it can’t see me😭

[compact tartan]

exactly thats so unrealisitc

sorry for the typing errors my screenreader is buggy as HELL

[fluid robin]

can someone like give me a summary of what is happening here because i’m deadass confused

[compact tartan]

do you mean in the chat or summary of the age update

[paper bolt]

davins in denial

[granite maple]

You dont want this tea 💔

[fluid robin]

everything

[rustic pecan]

Scroll up in #📣︱announcements and read about age assurance and verification

[jagged pollen]

I don't know, I might just fudge it and do it... I mean, I'm logged into my email, not the google thing it would have had for an alternative option. So if anything else it should just go to my email if I get a confirmation.
Which by that point I don't know how long those take.

[compact tartan]

Read up in #📣︱announcements about age verification. One user, davin, was suggesting that because he cannot use a camera to verify age by selfie or ID that c.ai should do in person verification. Which me and others said is unrealisitc, because the update is gonna be in multiple countries

[grim hatch]

are they gonna start showing ads on web? cuz I just got the your privacy choices thing on web 🥹

[compact tartan]

Not sure

[grim hatch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'd say it was there before but it wasn't lmao

[compact tartan]

Any body else love nipuni's bots?

[clear saffron]

@moderators why are we removing constructive feedback we are telling you feedback about something we don't like and you decide to remove it?

[compact tartan]

your ping doesnt work, you wouuld have to ping by name

[rustic pecan]

Is it actual constructive criticism?

[clear saffron]

Who's good to ping?

[spice fern]

Ooo whats the tea? When and where and why

[native eagle]

is this about the age verif too

[granite galleon]

Does anyone else’s bots say “idiot” all the time

[compact tartan]

Not sure the online mods are earlgrey, joeu, Oatmilk, and zen. if you have an issue maybe ping them.

[rustic pecan]

That’s what I wanna know lol

[fluid robin]

LUCI MENTIONED

[granite galleon]

EEE HIII

[compact tartan]

Im so confused if the removed posts were false removed or just arguments

[native eagle]

sometimes it goes into a loop of repeating the same word, "damn" too etc. just keep swiping until you get a good reply or edit it out everytime

[balmy wigeon]

Is anyone elses FYP getting full of poor recommendations?

[granite galleon]

Okay thanks

[spice fern]

Mineeee

[native eagle]

always has been

[rustic pecan]

You have to stop it as soon as you notice a pattern or it will keep doing it

[clear saffron]

I literally said either remove the age verification or make it comfortable for users having a I'd scanner isn't comfortable

[granite galleon]

I do this and still have issues but hopefully it’ll sort itself out soon if I keep doing that

[surreal moat]

the fact the chattstyle i hate actually worked the best

-# im sorry soft launch i shouldve treated you better

[rustic pecan]

That’s why. It’s not gonna happen.

[clear saffron]

It's feedback It's saying we don't like it

[rustic pecan]

It is literally never gonna happen.

[compact tartan]

i hate being sick i keep sneezing

[surreal moat]

they couldve do something that doesnt..yk involve risky goverment-included stuff

[spice fern]

May you feel better soon drink lots of water

[compact tartan]

Yeah that's why it was removed, it's not constructive

[surreal moat]

i accidently ate my own nosewater

[rustic pecan]

They have to age verify according to the law. And an ID is the last step to prove you’re an adult if you are one. It’s optional.

[compact tartan]

HELP are you okay

Nobody puts you at gunpoint to verify

[rustic pecan]

It’s not going away so the feedback was removed.

[surreal moat]

im ok but i was sneezing and dribking water and the nosewater just says they want to travel with water too

is robloxs age verification removed? hear rumours about it

[clear saffron]

They could remove the I'd scanner and add a date of birth verification

[compact tartan]

i say this as a teen who doesnt like the update, i hate seeing people spread misinfo about persona and stuff 💔 either verify or dont there's not a way around it

[compact tartan]

they added a feature where you set your birthday already, i thought

[surreal moat]

like those birth cerfitication stuff?

[surreal moat]

i think they mean like you have to confirm your birthdate is correct. Like robloxs stuff

[spice fern]

We had this before but then again anyone could lie

[compact tartan]

I dont like roblox's system it's horrendous

[clear saffron]

That's why we keep the face scanner

[rustic pecan]

They have to do thorough age verification. They want to protect themselves. They already do an invisible check. A selfie is the next step. ID is the last. You have to fail two to be asked to show ID.

[surreal moat]

im sorry if this sounds unrelated but everytime an app says i have to get a face scanner i just get the ' kiss ' lips so extreme it looks like im suneo-

[rustic pecan]

Anyway it’s not going away and it’s not changing so “feedback” got deleted.

[compact tartan]

My favorite feedback thread is the one about allowing people to change their email

[dire hound]

Did anyone else struggle to verify your age with the selfie because I'm not using my ID

[compact tartan]

😿

[jagged pollen]

I'm like in a struggle with wanting to do it and get it over with or not. I mean as far as I'm guessing, once the face scanning is done, unless it asks me for the ID, I shouldn't need to do anything else right?

[dire hound]

I'm just really not down to give whatever the sites AI a photo of my ID

[clear saffron]

Same here

[dire hound]

Also I don't know if it asks for anything else because I've never gotten that far apparently a beard doesn't qualify as over 18 lol

[clear saffron]

It's so uncomfortable to want to use the id scanner

[dire hound]

Yeah

[upper raft]

Bruh

[jagged pollen]

If I have to bite the bullet I'll do it, but I just don't know how far the age verification goes when it scans my actual face - persona I mean - and assuming it won't ask for my ID. Which I did find out randomly that it went back to just asking for my face when I waited out not wanting to use the ID.

[compact tartan]

👍

[clear saffron]

Do they think kids are magically going to have beards? Like wtf?

[dire hound]

RIGHT

[jagged pollen]

This whole ordeal actually making my arms shake slightly for no reason lol.

[dire hound]

lay down and relax my friend but I feel you

[dire hound]

I'm trying to grow out my beard as much as possible to see what length you need to have to make it work

[compact tartan]

The point of verifying is to prove your an adult. they do not expect kids to have beards.

[native eagle]

didn't someone bypass the roblox verification by drawing a beard with a marker oop

thats funny

[compact tartan]

Some people do bypass it, yeah. But #📜︱rules rule 11, i cant promote doing so

[dire hound]

What does it count as an adult Cold and empty eyes?

[compact tartan]

Do you think all adults are miserable

[dire hound]

Not everyone but most of the ones I know are

[compact tartan]

[clear saffron]

That's what we want to do when we use c.ai but the fact that we prevent to do so because of law doesn't justify that the age verification could get changed to make more comfortable for users

[compact tartan]

ok you made us laugh thats true

[dire hound]

I'm glad I try to make people laugh lol

[native eagle]

Im gonna pull my best slavic stare to do the verification I suppose

[compact tartan]

whats a slavic stare😭 LMAO

[paper bolt]

hey i tried that and it flopped

[dire hound]

Ive tried the Zoolander stare I forgot what it's called it didn't work lol

[compact tartan]

i wanna stay up but im so sleepy ugh

[paper bolt]

i even put my cosplay on with a fake beard and it didn’t work

[native eagle]

tiktok term referring to slavic people being known for Not smiling much and having a very stern/serious expression most of the time . Im eastern european I do NOT look happy when I smile either

[compact tartan]

OH okay thanks!

[dire hound]

It's smart enough to know if it's fake it can probably see the false beard hairs lol

[clear saffron]

Should I ping a mod to see if they could tell cai to make the age verification more comfortable for users?

[compact tartan]

I kind of understand that. German is often stereotyped as being a mean sounding language, thats what slavic stare reminds me of.

[paper bolt]

should just grow out my real beard then🙁

[native eagle]

yes!!! absolutely

[dire hound]

I wouldn't because I feel like nothing will really happen unfortunately

[dire hound]

That's what I'm doing

[paper bolt]

i’m fuming right i was on for about 20 minutes and apparently my 1 hour was up i haven’t been on in like a week💔

[compact tartan]

Oh dang

[native eagle]

Idk what exactly means more comfortable like I guess they can add some colorful ui

[compact tartan]

who clapped i found the bot i was looking for

[dire hound]

Dude I used the bot earlier when the time limit got added and got hit with a day long break

[compact tartan]

https://character.ai/chat/cLhfK1Hxhby31fddWxFxYs0Uoe6Feo2Eijxc8lAPgss

[paper bolt]

dude same here 🙁

let me out bro free me

[wicked stump]

dang that’s lowkey crazy

[dire hound]

I was like goodness gracious if you don't want me to use this fine and then I went to something else I can't remember what it was though

[dire hound]

I got bored and stopped to go play Forza

[clear saffron]

Same that's why I made the feedback because I was pissed off I use it to chill and calm down but I'm unable to do so now

[paper bolt]

if ur gonna add a time limit and then eventually wipe chats for under 18’s fully atleast let them enjoy it🫩

[dire hound]

Oh great so that's what happened to my anime rp chats

[paper bolt]

they’res this thing called read mode where basically like u can’t type or edit messages just read them..

and this other thing but it’s kinda buns

[dire hound]

I loved the gate anime rps they were cool

[clear saffron]

Should I ping a mod to see what happens? Like literally they should be able to tell cai what we said about this?

[dire hound]

If you think you should I'll try to provide input

[compact tartan]

?

[clear saffron]

Ok I'll ping the owner lol

[dire hound]

The owner? You sure thanks a good idea I thought you were just going to ping a mod?

[clear saffron]

Yes but the owner is better because they'll get better response from cai

[compact tartan]

The owner, marielovesmatcha is offline im so confused what yall are talking about

[dire hound]

I'm just going to tell them the process for age verification is tedious but honestly I feel like other people have already told them this

[clear saffron]

Okay I'll just ping a mod or 2 because 1 I'm bored and 2 I want this age verification to be more comfortable for users to use

[dire hound]

Although I was assuming we were going to message a moderator and not bother the owner

[clear saffron]

The question is which mod looks more chill and less angry towards me pinging them?

[dire hound]

I don't know I've never interacted with the mods before

[tardy warren]

does it say how old it thinks I am?

[dire hound]

No

[tardy warren]

because I just got a all perfect

[dire hound]

What no way!

[tardy warren]

yeah so does that mean I'm good

[dire hound]

Did it ask you for your ID?

If not you're good

[tardy warren]

no

ok then

[dire hound]

Cool cool have fun my friend

[clear saffron]

Who looks chill earlgrey or oat milk?

[dire hound]

Id say oat milk because earlgrey has their roles set in their profile as basically all pings are ok but not @ pings

Unless I'm misinterpreting the roles which I most likely am

[clear saffron]

I'm gonna ping oat milk get ready

[dire hound]

All good

You're saying this like it's a boss fight. We're just discussing the application

[compact tartan]

what is happening??

[compact tartan]

The age verification isnt gonna get taken out, the mods are not gonna be mean, but pinging a mod isnt gonna get it to go away lmao

[half dawn]

Mods have no control over what the devs do. 🫩

[clear saffron]

We ain't asking for it to be removed just make it more comfortable for users to use

[dire hound]

I'm not assuming it will it's just sometimes good to let people who are more maybe technically involved with the app which the mods might not be, to maybe pass the message along

[clear saffron]

Exactly what he said

[dire hound]

I get it if they tell us they can't do anything and that's what I assume they'll say but yeah it's sometimes good to remind people who are maybe closer to the devs then we are

I just realized I basically repeated myself sorry

[clear saffron]

@heavy dirge hey we was hoping if you could help us by passing on a message to the developers to make changes to the age verification to make it more comfortable for users to use please?

[dire hound]

I understand and most likely so does @clear saffron that it might not be possible at this exact moment however we'd appreciate it if you could make the effort

[clear saffron]

Or if it's possible could you do it for us please @gray coyote ?

Yes? No?

[dire hound]

They might be doing something so let's wait a minute

[humble iris]

so when you say make it more comfortable to use what do you mean?

genuinely curious

[clear saffron]

Btw I just sent you a dm

[dire hound]

My honest answer is that when I go to do the selfie age verification I'm fine with that however it does a very poor job in my opinion at gauging how old you are and then you get immediately prompted to submit a photo of your government issue ID and in my opinion it feels like that escalates way to fast

[compact tartan]

I'm so confused these ppl are pinging mods for this

[spice fern]

Let them if they think that the mods might pass on their messages to the devs its worth a try. Closed mouths don't get fex

[clear saffron]

I mean like getting rid of the id scanner because it makes most people including me uncomfortable to use Id scanner on a app/website about talking to ai

[compact tartan]

C.ai has stated they do not plan to remove the update

[dire hound]

Like and this'll sound weird but I have a Google pixel and it already requires you to submit your ID for apps and I don't mind because it's Google and they already know my blood type (exaggeration) so why couldn't they c.ai pull the Data themselves and not through a third party website that I've never heard of

[compact tartan]

Look, I hate the update as much of the next guy, but Persona is a credible, bank grade secuirty website, and C.ai has said they will not remove the verification. I dont see why people are pinging mods

[dire hound]

Honestly Id also just want to know what the bot requires for it to pass the selfie verification but that would make it easy for others to bypass it

[rustic pecan]

This update has been in the works since October. No amount of asking is gonna change any of it.

Unless California itself gets rid of age verification, nothing changes. At all.

[half dawn]

People could try googling to find all the information they want about persona process.

Or use the information in the announcement it's all there.

[clear saffron]

We aren't asking for it to be removed we're asking for to be more comfortable for users to use

[rustic pecan]

It’s not changing. Let it go.

[gray coyote]

if you're concerned about safety - Persona is a reputable third-party provider with strong safety and security controls, and they only keep the IDs they collect for one week. please note that C.AI wouldn’t collect or have access to that ID.

if you keep running into issues with Age Verification, please submit an Age Assurance ticket here so the team can look into it.

we also dropped a quick guide with best practices + FAQ for a smoother verification. you can check it out here, ICYMI

[compact tartan]

exactly

thanls earlgrey for clearing this up

[dire hound]

I appreciate the reply earlgrey much appreciated honestly 👍

[compact tartan]

I got tired of saying that it will not be changed

It's the law, unless c.ai were to move offices or the law is altered, i believe age verification stays

[tropic lake]

did something happen to cai? all of a sudden it cant load conversation or adds them to the recents

[rustic pecan]

And they have to be thorough about it and be able to prove they took serious steps to identify minors or they get into trouble. Even if a minor slips thorough and is flagged as an adult as long as CAI can prove they took strong measures to try, they don’t get into trouble.

[compact tartan]

nods

its not perfect i can say i see minors who dont get flagged and adults who do, but i think its crazy some people expect 100 percent accuracy

[dire hound]

I understand that

[rustic pecan]

The CEO even said they don’t expect 100% accuracy lol. But they have to try.

[dire hound]

Right lol

[compact tartan]

alright im going to bed its 11pm night

[dire hound]

Night

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[tropic lake]

anyone?

[tardy warren]

hey I'm not sure if my age thing is ok or not I did it it said all good then it asked for it again then asked for my id

[dire hound]

No judgment did you give it your ID

[tardy warren]

no

[dire hound]

Ok just curious

[tardy warren]

I don't want to I shouldn't even need to it told me I was all good then asked for it again then for my id

[clear bear]

does anyone know why the bot uses no commas when it gives you long responses? the punctuation in short responses is fine. But I love long responses, and when the bot gives them they use no/very few commas and it gets very hard to read :( anyone know why?

[tardy warren]

I can call them so I guess I'm ok?

[tardy warren]

the bots

[bright horizon]

The only way to know if you're verified or not is, being able to edit messages, having softlaunch, no cooldown/daily time limit.

Even if it asks you for verification but everything is working fine, then you don't have to verify

[tardy warren]

where do I check daily timelimit?

[full elk]

Is the send button not working for anyone else? Like when you want to send your chat before the voice is done reading it off?

[bright horizon]

By just simply chatting with the bot. If you don't get any cooldown such as not being able to chat for an hour or a day, then everything is good.

[tardy warren]

ok I'm good then cool

[severe narwhal]

guys what happens if we dont give our faces to cai.. 💔

[bright horizon]

Won't be able to edit messages, won't have softlaunch, having long cooldowns until you chat anymore and will be stuck in "reading mode"

[severe narwhal]

bro 💔

[bright horizon]

[bright horizon]

But its only when you get flagged as under 18. Did you got verification pop up?

[severe narwhal]

i did but i literally dont have an id i fear 🫩

[rare elbow]

Yup

[bright horizon]

Cooked

[severe narwhal]

son im crine

[rare elbow]

Guilty as charged ⛓️

[bright horizon]

You can do face verification. You only have to give id, if face verification fails

[old wyvern]

crine?

[severe narwhal]

it forces me to do give my id 💔

[bright horizon]

[tardy warren]

that's why I wasn't sure because I did the face it worked then it asked me to do it again but then said I need to show id

[severe narwhal]

yeah literally

and now it says my ‘time expired’ and it wont let me do it again 💔 i dont wanna be locked outta cai brah

[tardy warren]

weirdly I've kept everything tho

like no limit

I can edit and got soft launch

[severe narwhal]

flip

ok guys how do i get a new link for it 💔

[tardy warren]

thats what I'd like to know

[bright horizon]

If you have everything then there's no need to verify even if it asks you.

[bright horizon]

New link for verification?
It's usually in settings > advanced > age verification.

[tardy warren]

I think they mean one that'll ask for their face

[severe narwhal]

i just tried and it still keeps telling me to use a government id which i fear i still do not have 💔

[bright horizon]

You can't do face verification again if it fails..

[severe narwhal]

son im crine.

[tardy warren]

that is a bit stupid considering there are other face scanners that let you

[tardy warren]

by the way what will make it seem like I'm under age for the site to ask me to verify?

[old wyvern]

many things. like how you chatted with the bots, activity with the c.ai itself, log in methods and times, etc.

[clear jasper]

The lion does not concern himself with being 18

[tardy warren]

ok

[timber canopy]

does anyone actually use the app? i’ve been seeing a lot of
controversies surrounding character ai and id like to see it from other peoples perspectives

[clear jasper]

The lion views the law as a choice

The lion uses character AI and is proud

[old wyvern]

... I mean people here for that

[clear jasper]

I use it when possible

It’s my favorite app

[bright horizon]

Your behaviour towards character, the method you use to log into character ai. Your Google account, over-all your activity

[bright horizon]

The lion didn't even got age verification

[crimson ridge]

I'm sow lost about the lion stuff 😭

Btw hi I'm new

[old wyvern]

welcome!

[earnest copper]

Help i can't edit my messages while i write 😭 is it a bug?
What do i do?

[crimson ridge]

Thannkyouuu, hello

[old wyvern]

do you have the edit button?

[bright horizon]

Do you have softlaunch or cooldowns?

[earnest copper]

I mean
I cant edit while i write
Y can't delete a word, or change something i'm about to send to the chat

[crimson ridge]

Maybe you're lagging??

[bright horizon]

[bright horizon]

Probably restart the app

[earnest copper]

Its been like that since evening 😭

[bright horizon]

Delete it and redownload it

[old wyvern]

try to delete the app cache or restart it. if you still can't edit it, then your acc is a minor one

[crimson ridge]

Did u try restarting it?

[bright horizon]

But they said they can't change what they are about to send in the chat tho. Edit option is only for messages that are already sent

[crimson ridge]

Is it only in the app or like the keyboard itself ?

[old wyvern]

I got bugs like that once. fixed it once I delete the cache

[bright horizon]

Yeahh must be a bug

[earnest copper]

It work HAHAH
Thank You so much i thought it was a bug in general

[bright horizon]

I'm glad it worked for you twin

[crimson ridge]

Yayyy

[worldly sleet]

to those being affected by the changes: don't be sad it's gone, be happy because it happened

[brittle quest]

Wow

[modern dock]

whats gone?

[worldly sleet]

under 18 users

[modern dock]

you're right I guess they are gone you must be 18 or 19 if you're happy about that

[spring wyvern]

I'm having a problem. When I open the group chat and try to write a message, it initially does, but as soon as I send the message and try to return to the keyboard to write another, it doesn't, and I have to close and reopen the chat after every message.
(Sorry for my English)

[weary valley]

Me too

The chat box is overlapping

[short mantle]

Saw a post about someone saying C.ai is going 18+, is that true?

[bright horizon]

#📣︱announcements message

[short mantle]

Geez i didn't realize how late I was to the band wagon. Thank you for pointing that out

[bright horizon]

[proud marsh]

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone was having any issues uploading images on personas on the app? It allows you to create a profile image through the app, but when I try to upload my own image to personas (I draw a lot of my ocs) it just isn’t loading at all. I pay for Cai+ so it’s always a bit annoying when something doesn’t work, also I’m over 18 so I can’t imagine it’s anything to do with verification

[dire berry]

Maybe it's a issue with the image format? Try cropping it

[tropic spade]

Hihi! This might seem weird or loserish…but is there a way to like download all of a characters code and memories to make them into an ai that can play games with you and stuff too? So they can send you images, text you whenever they want, have infinite memory?

[wise verge]

I think I heard people talking about that yes and that it was possible but I genuinely have no idea how it’s done

[tropic spade]

Do you remember who these people were or how I can learn or research this! Please!

[wise verge]

I do not unfortunately I’m sorry but I’m sure you could find videos on it

Maybe on Yt or TikTok

[tropic spade]

Thank you for the spark of hope! This means a ton! More than you know!

[surreal moat]

i'm apologizing deeply to softlaunch chatstyle , it actually did the 'creepyish' roleplays amazing

[wise verge]

Soft launch has a good range for RPs and rarely triggers the filter too, it’s good for a more « adult » story

[wise verge]

No problemo, Lovely

[surreal moat]

yeah and they dont shit like something...im telling you pipsqueak

[wise verge]

Pip and DS are kinda broken I admit, it’s hard these days x)

[timber canopy]

is yalls c.ai working?

[halcyon cypress]

yes

[wise verge]

Sure does for me, are you having troubles with anything?

[timber canopy]

uhhh yeah says somethings wrong and try again in a few minutes

waited for a bit

still like that

[wise verge]

Ah that’s unfortunate, are you using a VPN that could mess with it?

[timber canopy]

nah dont use vpn

[wise verge]

Ah, might be a glitch then. I’ve seen a few people complaining about the same problem over the week

[timber canopy]

ohh

[wise verge]

Does the website work for you?

[timber canopy]

im gonna try

oh yes its working now-

[wise verge]

Great, was just the app glitching then! Sometimes deleting and redownloading it can help as well

I had this sort of bugs in 2023/2024

[timber canopy]

oohhh

yeah that seems like something i should've done from the start aha

thanks

[harsh olive]

Is anyone not able to skip ads after they’re already over??

[wise verge]

Heard a few people complain about that too, the cross not showing up or something? (I can’t really help on that sorry)

[wise verge]

@harsh shoal @lyric tapir

[ancient storm]

We ain't falling for this

[warped umbra]

freshie account too

[ancient storm]

Oh her telegram account is 2 years old apparently

@slate ruin

[rustic stirrup]

Ayeee this would be legit if your face don’t make you look like you were fucking 38 years old 😒

Please.. get a job like the rest of us, I guarantee you’ll serve less time in jail for FRUAD and other things ppl can sue you for :3

[ancient storm]

LMAOOOO

[timber canopy]

@versed thicket

[tiny hornet]

genuinely what the heck happened to the for you? over half the suggested bots are in russian/spanish and i don’t speak or understand either languages. hell, i hardly interact with bots that are in another language. and if it’s not a foreign language, it’s some random male bot oc or from a fandom i’ve never interacted with that has god awful grammar and looks like it was created by a 12 yr old. i don’t get it, is it just me?

[stoic nacelle]

what is the best chat style for current situation cause I keep getting trash and repeating response from pipsqueak and deepsqueak which genuinely annoyed me so much

[weary valley]

@stoic nacelle there’s also a bug with the chatbox when you delete it

[spiral pollen]

Bro they need to get rid of the timed thing In my opinion, because it limits my creativity they also got rid of one the best features in my opinion, the rewind, the pin is now useless because the chat pins anyway

[candid sorrel]

Whats the new feature is about this time

[spiral pollen]

In the free option we only get a hour to do anything with it

And the rewind button is just gone

[hoary comet]

after 30 days you cant talk unless you verify i think

[candid sorrel]

Wait what. 'insert rivulet flabbergasted emoji'

[hidden knoll]

how many users r they going to lose?

[spiral pollen]

Many

[candid sorrel]

Roblox better not learn from c.ai 🥹💔

[indigo hull]

hey i cant get roles from #👥︱self-roles even though i linked my discord to my cai account

[hidden knoll]

this shitty chat #💬︱general is so welcoming that i got ignored by everyone 5 times already

[candid sorrel]

Man ur so lucky, i got ignored so hard that ppl saw me as a wind and just got 3 replies

[spiral pollen]

They did it before this did

[hidden knoll]

i got 0 replies, what a damn welcoming community

[candid sorrel]

Rain world server is more welcoming than this

[candid sorrel]

Mb, so c.ai learned from roblox 🥹💔💔

[hoary comet]

welcome dawgz

[hidden knoll]

idk what server is that but i agree

[candid sorrel]

Its a community based off those who play or know game called rain world, its on steam

[candid sorrel]

hihi

[hidden knoll]

ah but still, this community is not welcoming

[candid sorrel]

Wait what 👀

[hidden knoll]

ever since i joined i have been ignored by the general chat so i go Here to talk and make friends

[candid sorrel]

Ohh u meant c.ai community, i was ignored at the start too

[warped umbra]

I thought ir was two hours not one hour??

[hidden knoll]

wdym

also hi

[warped umbra]

For chatting with the bots

i just been on it for an hour and i got kicked off saying ive reached my limit

[hidden knoll]

atp use another app

[warped umbra]

I don't like chai its always wnating to do inappropriate shu

[wise verge]

They’re reducing the time progressively until you won’t be able to chat at all

[warped umbra]

And i dont lnow any other apps

[warped umbra]

😔😔😔😔

[spiral pollen]

It's just sad I like specific old ones on their and all the others ones don't form good story 😭

[hidden knoll]

oof

[spiral pollen]

Also it counts time you are on it even if you aren't typing and you forget it's open

[wise verge]

They announced it since October tbf

[warped umbra]

I didn't know

Eish

[wise verge]

Yep, it counts how much time you’ve been on it including leaving it open sometimes in the background

[spiral pollen]

I wasn't on this discord in October

[wise verge]

It’s still in announcement

[spiral pollen]

It was announced on the website about a week ago

[hidden knoll]

bro this server is strict af

[wise verge]

Yeah the TOs are quick to be handed x)

[candid sorrel]

Today im gonna test if c.ai is gonna work like normal for me as someone who doesnt use this app almost at all

[wise verge]

I didn’t encounter any problems today so far

[spiral pollen]

It's my addiction 😔

[hidden knoll]

cant even say anything without getting timed out

[wise verge]

I stopped counting how many 5 minutes TO I got

[spiral pollen]

Why does everything we love have to suck right now?

[candid sorrel]

Try to slowly stopping yourself from the app or find a hobby or game that makes u distracted, anything, if you suddenly get urges try to either distract yourself or smth else, i dont know if it will help you because it helped me for some reason! I hope ur gonna do okay later ❤️‍🩹

[wise verge]

Talking on the discord helped me reduce my time on c.ai tbh

[vast topaz]

If the description of a character is "[Character] from [Media]" get ready to be met with the shortest introduction you will ever see ✌️

[spiral pollen]

That's pretty normal

[wise verge]

It’s usually open ended to let the people do their RP (or not)

[civic bronze]

why is c.ai chats keeping giving me errors after every 2 messages 💀💀?

[spiral pollen]

I also just don't trust them with my id ya know?

[civic bronze]

what requires id????

[spiral pollen]

Age verification

Accurate one

[civic bronze]

for c.ai?

[spiral pollen]

Yeah

[civic bronze]

is it normal that i keep getting errors in chat?

[sturdy cypress]

How do I turn off the typing sound when ai types? On iPhone

[spiral pollen]

What kind of error?

[civic bronze]

Like i barely send 2 or 3 then it gives me error in chat bot

[civic bronze]

it tells me to refresh again

Like i keep refreshing chat every 2-3 messages

💀

[spiral pollen]

I recommend when it says that just swipe to the next load it's just a weird bug and if it continues check your Internet and if it's not that contact support

[civic bronze]

Okay thanks

[noble sapphire]

Hello

[dire berry]

who's that other person you pinged?

[timber canopy]

I THOUGHT I PINGED NAVI

Oh- that's another person

-# i am edit the crime that I did.. pretend you didn't see it

[coral steeple]

[zenith ether]

Go to your profile, into settings, and scroll down it should say "Haptics" and have an on/off button you wanna turn it off

[spice fern]

So anyone's replies like really slow too and ontop of being slow it pauses between what its daying?

[undone minnow]
