So do i just put in my persona info that im 18 or what 😭😭😭
not really because the kids were already in a really bad mental health state before it happened. it was the parents fault and also partially cai’s fault because filter breaks sometimes. not that any of the bots would do that but you know stuff can happen
i was making a joke
Oh my god everything is read mode now wtf.
No, persona the company, twin 😂
Well I mean it ain't like there's many ways to win a lawsuit like this one...best case scenario judge thinks both parties are at fault.
I just got inf reading mode on the website bc I didn't verify this some bs
Oh my bad twin 😭😭😭
because you need to verify duh
That doesn't even make sense though I'm ngl they are talking to ai so would they not be putting them in more danger by sending their faces to some sketchy website that nobody has ever heard of before
Mine still says Teen
ik but im just saying you won’t be dogged on for something like that 😭
We still used to have a 1hr window but C'MON
Yeah
Mine is showing “reading mode” and no timer
And I can't verify either
they were going to make breaks longer over two weeks of you being flagged, and then remove chat all together
There's no more hour window for me
well that’s the case though. besides, i half heartedly think we don’t have good lawyers but that’s just me
Yeah they made it like that
No more c.ai for you
Problem in california
I was in the middle of chatting omg 💔
Did the same for me
istg
ok verified ppl don't shit on us now 🙄
at least this age verifcation thing made me actually live life for once
That's true ngl. We have some pretty ahh lawyers. The ppl who should be lawyers just aren't. Then the ones who shouldn't are becoming lawyers.
:(
It makes no sense, it’s AI dude. Like, they should’ve just made it 16+ cause teens younger than 16, I have noticed are most likely to get an addiction to ai
everyone:
two weeks after you got flagged you would lose chat all together, they said this in the popup
THANK YOU. We weren't completely in the dark. We knew. We just weren't ready for it.
Wdym i can get my license but i cant chat with a bot 👀
Ye I got hit with it
??? IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK SINCE I FIRST GOT FLAGGED
Sooooo, we gonna leave the app now or we wait for a miracle???
I got flagged march 23rd
I haven’t gotten flagged
How
Gng this is sum bull istg
i think they changed it to a week, but when i got flagged it said two weeks
i havent either somehow
Since they introduced it too
Problem is about c ai's marketing oriented to minor's from the start, but community was made by adults, duh
S i g h s aggressively
I haven’t verified but I did verify with google so I should be fine
Wdym I can drink but I can't talk to Maki Zenin
Do we know how to make it so we're not in reading mode without the timer tho?
Uh, verify
So if we never got flagged then we would still have chat today
Theres this one option called verify
That seems like an issue on the parents part, and I'm pretty sure it's not for safety or anything of those sorts, I'm almost positive it's because people are doing weird things with AI and I guess they don't want younger people to be influenced by something as unrealistic as the bots
If you verify under 18 will you get the hour back?
Not 18
who’s we? i verified the day before the overload, which means i didn’t need to use ID
Looking real appealing rn.
Giving an ai company my id and personal info and face is a big no no for me idk bout yall
Guys how can i get reading mode off the timer is off but im on reading mode and i CANT GET THAT OFF
Dude I'm not fucking talking abt u 😭😭 kindly stfu if yk this doesn't apply to you omg
You cant unless you verify
you need to verify
Verify.
mb gng
same here!
Gg wp
BTW, did anyone check the ratings of c ai on playstore??
Yk it really wouldn’t be so bad if they actually had a working verification system 😭✌️
Wait this question is dumb but if we verify and we’re under 18 do we get the hour back? Or are we stuck in reading mode permanently
I think it’s somewhere near 2.9
Real
I've enjoyed watching them plummet
Stuck in reading mode till you verify as 18+
Reading mode ☹️
At this rate, they'll be wondering why their apps is losing their ratings
Thats so dumb it really should be 16+
Which is why I said 16+, ppl under 16 are easily influenced by anything—they are still mentally weak and growing. But I do agree that this definitely has something to do with the parents but I can’t blame all parents, cause there are sneaky kids out there
California law
This is one of the first times I've ever seen an app with more 1 stars than anything else even all those shitty mobile games
REALL
"Oh our app is losing rating its surely not for our horrible updates right?" Headahh
Nah, you only get an hour or you’re permanently on reading mode idk
For me appear as 3.2
Fr. 16 year olds are able to drive a vehicle that can literally kill people yet can’t be trusted on c.ai? Are we serious?
And they just copy and paste the same responses instead of being helpful.
Hope they realise this if not there gonna force it to shutdown
You’re gonna have to read the guidelines
3.6 me for me
Im convinced the company is ran by ai aswell 😔
It's a law. It isn't their choice.
The CEO running the company knows nothing about ai….literally
Mine hasn’t updated its still 4.5 for me😭
Laws sucks, especially this one
No way pluh 😭
Maybe they should have another company in different country
I think you're stuck in reading mode. Iirc minors lose their chatting rights after the 2 weeks (aka yesterday or today.)
Stupid ass "developers" thinking character ai are so big and influential that they can make any change they want no matter how bad it is, they are NOT Roblox there IS replacements for character ai
Someone change their person there
Lmao I just got timed out for a minute I was just gonna say that i was gonna move to another website 😭😭😭
big brother is watching
Im guessing they don't want us to talk abt other ai platforms here
Unfortunately most replacements aren’t minor friendly like c.ai is and they’re only putting teens in danger by pushing them away to dangerous alternatives 😭
right. some people are in it for the bag and not justice. i think it’s partially at fault for why we’ve been losing so many lawsuits and realistically speaking, if some of these lawyers can’t defend us i don’t think we’re going to win any future ones
Yeah, same. I'm copying all my texts to a new ai
LITERALLY
Yeah but most of the replacements have like no f*lter to the point where its "woah there pal" territory
So we should be expecting a shutdown
Because if they won't even fix the problems with the chat generation(like deepseak being buggy) they would even loss more people because verify but the app don't working well is annoying
The law is so cooked. I would go do it myself but I can't debate or speak like that to save my life.
Yeahh, 2023 is the peak of the app
I lowkey give this a few more weeks
My thing still won't verify gang
They might do it but idk. Atp this app is pretty cooked.
don’t do it. i had an ex that took the LSATS. he had to study for THREE WHOLE DAYS
I wonder how many of their users they’re gonna lose, also did they refund the minors who had c.ai+? I didnt but i’d be pissedd
Didn't WE say that like 15 times now twinsicle 🥹 /j
Yeah I suppose but as long as you aren't prompting it to lead to that it should be ok
I get overstimulated easily so either way I can't do it in high pressure situations lol.
Son I just got here like a few minutes ago 😭😭😭
We'll just wait for a miracle.... Not
No i mean like with all these cornball updates I atleast have been saying that a lot and yet the app is still not cooked
Its crazy they’re cutting off teens completely when teens using their og site are the reason they even got where they are rn😭
Someone bring back 2023
It'll bite them in the ahh eventually
you are so real 😭 also criminal justice majors are studying 24/7 at least the ones ive seen so don’t. don’t get into that rabbit hole. also if you’re not good at high pressure situations, don’t even bother looking into it. i immediately said no for that reason too 😭
"how dare you talk about our multiple huge flaws that are driving our entire player base away"
Thats so real though bro
"Grrr if my pants turn brown... RUN"
Ok 👌
I never bothered. I wanted to be military first before anything else. For all I know I'll end up there.
Everyone or at least a huge chunk of ppl who used c.ai when it first released were teens (including me)
I hope they do it
Especially when the minors noticed that what they can do to actually use the app(more than just see old chats) is basically tiktok but its just ai shorts
i was planning on doing so until i saw how much stupid stuff it was. Might go into accounting instead
Wait a minute...
Bro sameee
"If my red turns run... EYES."
I was 16 when I started using it...I just jumped on a bandwagon ngl.
I was like 14 and now I’m 18
ooh!! military isn’t for the week so good luck! :D
oh my god yeah. there’s a lot of stuff you have to know and memorize, go for accounting. it’ll be easy but worth it lmao
I can handle physical pressure. That's not the problem. But anything I have to brain and think about pressure? Yeah good luck getting me to even say a damn thing.
HAHAHA do you suck at math too?
i have eidetic memory, this would probably be MAD easy
What why?
Read mode
Oh
idk man the f students are the inventors
I was 30
I was 16, now 19 almost 20
I join because some friend were sending screenhots of the Rps with characters she liked so i just jumped to check if were bots of fansom where i was
Here were a lot so i stayed in the boat lol
Wont verify age as i aint giving my id and stuff to some ai
Are you are you coming to the tree they strung up a man said who'd murdered three
Gng is there any other good platform I can use?
I don't suck at math ig I just suck when I needed to do the math under pressure where someone was breathing down my neck especially.
So true
perhaps..
Wish they removed the update
wait so like we cant chat wit the bots like ever??
They should really give us OG users free subscriptions or at least ad free 😭
Yeah
no
Since i was 14 or sum
I still remember the day when we used to have 30 free swipes, no ads, no age verification
i cant even remember but around like '23
how does it work? Cause my "time limit" ended at 10 this morning, and it was a 8 hour duration.
since there were memes of using the mario bot
Turning 17 soon 🥀
I used it back in 2024 or something and then forgot about it for a while. so i just recently started using it again
'23-'24
No bc they're so insistent on this update bc evertime someone finds a loophole they patch it immediately 😭
Fr, now all we have is some bull shit features n ads
This is real bro don't let an AI learn about who you are it's just not a good idea
I would said "i'm not that og"
I checked the app date released and realized that in fact i'm OG
I discovered c.ai when it was still BETA lol
Me too
If they don't, more lawsuits and more money loss.
I only started because of that alice the bully trend (was that the bots name?)
Persona is known for leaking info too
ME TOOOO, I discovered it when it was still BETA and when it never even had an app
when u start using the app is when the timer starts. If you close the tab and the browser, the timer will go on pause until you reopen it.
I mean i love money as much as the next person but cmon
ohh i gotchu
Ye. I am absurdly good at playing darts tho for no reason.
Any other good apps like c.ai😭
Idk
so hypothetically i could start at 8 be on for 20 minutes and close it and start again at 3 and be on for 40 minutes until the timer is up
Cant share alternatives here for some reason
Google some apps
Never trust any site or AI that shouldn't have any of your PII with your PII banks are obviously different but an vibe coded AI website and app don't trust ts
Ah
People have been saying chai but i tried it and it gives you a ad every 2 chats😭
Big brother is always watching
I realized here is like 4 things i discover because that friend and now i love that lol
C. Ai
Crk
Crob
🧍♂️ 🧹
😭
I mean...it's just how it is. They aren't even breaking even atm. So I guess their first job is to break even somehow.
is anyone else now permanently stuck in reading mode? 💔
Don't do recommendations here. It's not allowed
It's permanent??
Last night i wasnt. Now yes
I was scrolling through feedback and there was one that mentioned how this person had found a loophole to get through age verification then the message was deleted. So, they do read the feedback butttt…they just don’t care
Yes o great mother Bruno bucciarati, many of us are
yes
lucky 😭 i’m not but i’m good at english for some reason. i wish darts were as easy as writing a 2 page narrative
No, I’m 18 🥹
unless you verify, which i tried doing but it didnt allow it, so yknow what c.ai, forget it, continue this bs and your downfall is certain to come
Sigh
Yo😭 🙏 that's straight up insane
Im 17 this month
Crob? Crk?
same, i aint verifying shiiiii
Im 17 in july😭✌️
Fr
I hated english class. All my stories and essays literally did NOT fit the unspoken requirements of the exam.
Why the hell is the point of it if I can't chat at all??
im adopting u into la passione
Cookie run kingdom? 👀
So
Someone mentioned how buggy the chat generation is: 😴
Someone mentioning a loophole: 👀
Wanna follow the law but don't wanna fix the issues that is pushing away the users that verify
they’ll be coming out with new features for minors soon
literally , lost the whole plot of the app 💔 (ignore the profile , its a troll acc)
Ah ty
Crob= cookie run ovenbreak
Crk: cookie run kingdom
Like what kind of features..? 🤔
you trust c.ai with your government id?
THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS OMG. tests are always higher than your homework questions
What’s the feature?
will it be on the same app and keep everything / all our data?
Ooooh, my sister plays that—I used to play genshin until I couldn’t log into my account and it was deleted 🙄
"developers" don't have a brain they don't realize they are replaceable they don't realize that their AI isn't that important so they think they can make any change they want without backlash
im pretty sure
It used to be so peak and now I'm trying to find alternatives left and right
ohh!! thank you ^^
I LOVE COOKIE RUN KINGDOM 🗣🔥
No, I did the face thing with google cause I use my google account and supposedly, they check if your age is verified with whatever account you use
i literally cant find ANYTHING
Do yall know when the new version is coming out?
im not sure yet but it won’t be as good as the chat feature
mine never went through so im jst stuck
i look 15/16 bro ik damn well they ain't accepting my face
OMD IKR. THEY HAD THESE UNWRITTEN RULES OF WHAT YOU COULD AND COULDN'T WRITE. IT WAS INSANE.
I mean I found some that are good enough for me but idk if you'd find them good
i refuse to put that i.d in so if it wont take my face , ill be stuck in reading mode
You gotta mew or something idk
I am NOT sharing my face to an AI company, especially not Persona
They ask for a id if you are babyface
im crine🥹
What, with google? I had to do it twice
do you have state exams 😭 it is ten times worse my physics teacher made bootcamp just for it LMAO
yeahh , ive tried a good 6 times each month atp
How u do it with google?
Don't put your id into this verification system if you look at every attempt that an app had to verify ID's they all get leaked it's never secure
But in the future.. If an adult chats with a random children bot like for example: Dandy's world do they need to verify once more everytime they use the bot or?? 🤔
That’s weird, are you 18+?
We don't have state exams (we ARE the state. That's all) but omd the exams were brutal.
yh , jst recently turned 💔
Click on your Pfp then manage your google account, personal info and then birthday
Ohh
Did you do it in the light?
Back in the day we had an exam for 6th graders which basically the marks you get determines where you're able to go for middle and high school. It was a pretty shit time. We had a lot of...yk cases bc of the results.
In nj, the njgpa determines whether you graduate or not
yep!! in my fully lit living room
Ok that’s weird. Did you put your real birthday?
yes!
I genuinely don’t know how I passed it ngl
Can c.ai be reasonable here? It's understandable that you want to keep minors safe, but it's not entirely the company's fault for what happened to those kids. If anything the parents should be partially blamed too for not managing their child's screentime/internet access, etc. The easiest thing to do is to make users confirm that they are responsible for how they use the app. I know most minors out there lie about being over 13, 18, whatever. But why punish everybody? I'm not blaming those poor kids, I'm just saying what could be done instead of these limits and restrictions.
(my bad for the paragraph btw)
Blessed ig
i agree!!
Im verified as 18 or older on google tho
😭
#blessedlife lmfao
ik they're gonna do that shi🙏😭
Like punishing a whole class for one student's behavior
Hellooo
thank you
Wait we had to put our real birthdays?
Yeah well but c.ai was also backed into a corner. so..
Uhhh, you can try and verify with a credit or debit card,and Id
Don't give them ideas Big brother is always watching
I changed it today tbh, I wasn’t taking chances 😭
😭
what
literally bro its absolute bs. atp imma make a post on the feedback channel and hope i can get more people to agree and see if something will finally change? (doubt it but it doesnt hurt to try)
leak the methods🙏
Don't worry guys I will revert the changes
Blessed by the universe 🌌
wait you can change it???
dude i just verified my age 15 minutes ago and they put me on another time limit 😭
Not the old one, but yes, before the age verification update
Yeah
Thanks brohemian rhapsody 🙏🙏🙏
Funny enough im verified 18 or older on google tho
Just click on your birthday
Oh huh interesting.
the least they could do is listen to the feedback and suggestions they recieve from their own community?
lemme guess its like 20+ hours
And you’re marked as a minor?
yeah
this app is turning out to roblox part 2 after schelp caught all the preds😭🙏
On c.ai ye. It asks for id
i dont even have a baby face brooo they buggin
They could but most of the suggestions from the community is 90% either "just get rid of it/don't do it" or "Use the honour system" which...well...won't work.
idk how come of yall could actually trust an ai app with your personal info such as an id
I don’t even have a timer anymore
Atp we can find the cure to cancer and they still won't listen to us 😭😭😭
That’s weird but this is what I got from online: Character.ai (C.ai) does not automatically use your Google account's age verification status to confirm you are 18 or older. Even if your Google account is verified, C.ai uses its own independent "age assurance" system
Straight up can’t write
O
If ya want dm me, however, I don't think I can help you very well
aw damn I got locked in reading only mode finally
i would say my suggestion was pretty decent though. If you are agreeing to take responsibilty on how you use the bot by checking a box or whatever they can do, then that can solve problems because can you really get sued when you lit agreeded to something? Similar to signing a contract.
But the CEO supposedly did say this: “Character.ai has stated they are exploring ways to leverage Google Sign-In and the Google Play Store to make age verification more seamless, but this feature is not yet fully implemented or standard”
I never had a timer
had so many good storylines goin’ too 💔
NO LITERALLY😭😭
REAL
Is the reading mode thing permanent?!
i was literally getting invested then i jst got stuck in reading mode 😭
man i dont even remember the year i used for my email 💔
Look like it
Damn that sucks
Ts so buns bro
The updates have sucked anyway for a while
okay... so how do we bypass the verification 💔
can’t chat unless i leak my id to some strangers
dude literally , its like punishing an athletic team for one person’s doings
Get a sibling to do it or sumn thats what im planning.
dude literally , someone dm how to do ts
Just click on your Pfp, then go to manage your google account, personal info and birthday
Everyone is deleting it lmao
IM THE OLDEST 😭
They already dug the hole now they just carving their gravestone 😭😭
I can only make my parents do it and I do NOT wanna leak my dad's info 😭
i use the website idk if that will work
Like im fine with my ugly ass face verification but id tho..
Welp this method is sacred for me only then I guess
Good I've been yearning for the downfall of c.ai for quite some time now
What? That doesn’t matter
Im just waiting until the verification thing actually works because people arent able to verify even WITH ID's
that's a good idea, if c.ai's downfall becomes that bad, they have no choice but to listen to the community, right?
I tried doing the verified id but it wont get it
literally... that way I'd show my dad's face and bro would think I'm 40 😭
alrighty i'll try it rn
Sm js dropped abunch of replacements and gave us their ratings in chat feed
We can do that?
Multiple online articles state that some countries are planning to restrict ai chat bot apps/their websites to 18+ users only— if the apps do not obey by these laws, they are at risk of getting a fine. (eSafety commissioner, Uk laws, California laws.)
They did the update because of a law in their state. If they did not obey the law, they would’ve been deleted or face fines worth tens of millions.
they couldn't remove the age verification update no matter how many people wanted it. It's California law. If people want to make change they should be trying to appeal to California law makers.
Will
How about we just remove the ID part .
I don’t mind showing Id cause I need to get a new one anyway since I moved, so they won’t have my new address
Yeah
MEEE
That ww2 bot that was about germany winning, my favorite storyline in rp(along side that long ass rp with some online friends) and favorite bot
I should draw some of the personas i made for that one thro-
How about they just delete the app erase it
Now i wouldnt say delete the app....
Since they are an ai chat bot company, I think they need stricter restrictions to ensure minors have struggles with accessing the app/by passing the system.
you can try with some picture of a face, but it might ask for ID so no
dude like literally , its so annoying .
And it might not
If they want to verify they should use the age thats put into the email the person is signed into
You are right I think further action must be taken thank you for the enlightenment good sir
That’s a horrible idea. No offence.
does c.ai not make enough money to move out of california or what? especially with these ads that everyone complains about. and i understand it's a law and all, but damn
lol what i thought
Its ok brotato chip 🙏
We can only hope
ngl, that's probably one of the easier things to fake
Considerating that even the PAID models are being buggy, the metering(that give more reaosn to quit using c.ai) and the excessive prized of the annual suscription of c.ai+
I won't be surprise
they jst need the i.d taken away , its so odd 2 me 😭
is the age verification usually buggy? i just verified my id 2 times and it doesnt show if im now considered verifired or what
Honestly, I do not know why they aren’t moving out.
Though, I think they are keeping the verification because if they don’t have it, c.ai will be banned from quite a few countries, which then lessens their income.
by new years i predict this app will be extinct🙏
Not anymore cause google is doing age verification too
Sure they might have enough money to possibly try, but imagine how suspicious it'd look to the people against C.ai if they suddenly relocated
I'm just sad because I really really like BSD (Bungo Stray Dogs) and got into this fanfic for it called Magic and Mystery, but none of my friends have even the slightest intrest in it, so I was using c.ai, and now I can't:( (Can't verify, as i don't currently have something to use as an ID)
Tryid mine i keep trying its my fifth
Has anybody been able too verify .
It has been bugged for a while.
Not just that, the process of moving to another state
i gave up dude
Don't they make millions per year??
Get a fake ID but instead of using it for alcohol use it for c.ai😭 🙏
Time to copy paste the chats onto another platform and it's gonna take a while
Well, that’s only millions.
Also, the lawsuits contributed towards this update.
Alcohol is so yuck
Nope
the people against c.ai are most likely the average white american moms who cares what they think
same for me. im pretty sure it because of the bday that ur account has set is underage or its just buggy
This is true I'm a pothead because it makes me feel better
barbecue bacon burger
The verification thing barely even fucking works too that's crazy.
take screenshots instead, might make the transfer a bit quicker. Can do the same for personas too
Gtg to school yall😔
True
They should fix that
Idk any good alternative tbh
OMGG SAME!!
I hope they fuckin' do
Last year they made like atleast 50-60 million and monthly they make about 7 or 8. How much money do they need??
Remember that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
yeah, instead of adding a buncha random junk
I hate smoking too
I'm gonna go verify my account with my sims character y'all 🤘
And any uncaring parents that demand internet be child-friendly(when it never was) instead of do their job as a parents
They cannot relocate at the moment because a lot of their user base has been banned.
Hell yeah
do yall have any recomendation of chatbots? c.ai is no longer usable for me because of this stupid age verification
It isn’t only the parents that contributed towards this update, it’s both c.ai and the parents fault.
me neither, but worst case if you can't find one, you could try writing fanfics using the chats?
EXACTLY LIKE BRO???
But it will ask for your ID later
I just wish they were HONEST with us. Like, what’s going on?
Let us know if it works
We cannot mention alternatives because it is against the rules.
Hello, dear friend.
aw..okay, thanks for letting me know
Hello, Xetro.
fr if it works i might need to go back to sims😭🙏
Idk bro imma use tiktok to find one
it might let me use an ID even if the face doesn't fully match... don't know, but worth the try. I'm doing it on a different account so I don't accidentally kill my main
if ya wanna do some extra reading for shits n giggles, u can find the rules here #📜︱rules
Still feeling punished as the Bible says?
Yeah like most of the alternatives are buns😭
Luck
These people are making me feel like a caveman trying to open a peanut with a rock.
lowk c.ai doesnt wanna be replaced easily that they have to censor any other ai apps that are better.
That's valid I don't vape but yarts on the other hand 😼
No.
**It’s because people recommend 18+ alternatives in a server full of minors. Most alternatives don’t even have filters. **
What are yarts?? Evb is saying that and i dont understand
I just cry to feel better tbh
Man cant stop me im gonna look for a better one
I lowkey got my shit laced once was not fun
Dang, in my case I'm 'bout to delete c.ai, I mean, I've been doing my life, however, NONE of the moderators or admins have responded me to my problem, not even my submit tickets, it's kinda dissapointing.
Toxic relationship
Mary jane
ima try to verify one more time, if this doesnt work im done with c.ai i need to move on from it anyways
i mean i get it
y r u talking about roblox in minecraft
Damn.
Yeah, delete c.ai.
Thankfully that hasn't happened to me
how’s everyone doing with the recent ban
genuinely who would do that
The age verification in roblox is better then c. Ai
im ngl this is true
NO????? NO IT'S NOT??????
I can't believe I've been paying c.ai+ until now, just to possibly lose it due to age verification
at least the Roblox one worked somewhat
A lot of people are trying to bypass the system, which is why it may be bugging more than Roblox’s one. I think.
And I just made a reimbursement, let's see if I can, if not, fuck it, I won't be fighting against a bunch who don't cares.
no.. roblox one is just “choose ur minor”
literally bc wdym i passed 16-17 with my megumi figure
roblox persona doesnt force you to get an ID check like c.ai does --- only time it was awful is when it ended a ton of friendships at once
👍
im crying i just verified 2 times and now im unflagged finally
Man i cant even verified with my id
Then it’s not strict
wdym suddenly, howwww
dude mine wont work and i refuse to put my id in
At least you got verified
I'm more talking about the fact that preds could use fake info to choose the age group they wanna target
Congratulations🎉
well after u verify just close c.ai app and reopen it
Wrong.
**If you do the face verification and it doesn’t process you’re an adult, you need an 18+ id that matches your selfie pic you did for the verification. **
May I ask you why you are almost always here, mate? For help people or boredom, or just wasting time in a way?
Hello
true they can use family members who are young to scan their faces so... not a smart play
on roblox mate 💔
I think I can show my id cause I moved and my id has my old address anyway
Hello, everyone. I've been using and have been a fan of C.AI since 2023. I had a lot of fun with it, really creative place and I had a couple of bots of my own. Sadly, this age verification is complete BS! I'm seriously thinking of deleting my account since I'm sure C.AI is not going to make things good again
use ur parents id, and just stick a photo of urself to that id then after u verify reopen c.ai. its what i did
well explain why i am wrong 😭 dont say "wrong" and point at the aimless wall (nvm you said it)
dude i’d love that 💔
C.ai deaduzz thinking they on the same level of Roblox and think they can add limitations unless you verify and expect people to stay genuine monkey level intelligence 😭 🙏
make sure it matches ur selfie pic, if not then it wont verify u
@wintry spear 
All of those factors, honestly.
Also, I like seeing familiar faces in the discussion once every often.
Is this dude fr
no but like what showed when you successfully verified? because it kept telling me they couldn't verify my identity
you mean, to use their ID and edit your pic on it or something?
Hello, Kai. ^_^
so... if i dont look like some adult it will kick rocks at me yelling "ID NOW!" or.. do you mean if i do look 18+ it will ask for my id?
oh ok, so you're just openly admitting to identity fraud. does said parent know you took their ID?
Smae
Thats SEVEN people who admit or encourage identity fraud for the counter now
I elaborated it for you. If you don’t look 18+, they will ask for an ID.
it showed that i could chat my bots again, i was on reading mode 5 mins ago before i verified
Man
Hello, Monarch.
Why is the app rated Teen butyou have to be 18+ to chat TvT
Hallo 
completely forgot u had a counter lol
do my acc 🙏 (joking)
I see I see, very human if you ask me, I'll keep in tune here, but maybe this night I'll delete c.ai, just wanted to share it with someone, and in this case, you were that one.
It was for teenagers.
Minus me of course, cause its my id
because the app rating in thegame store likely hasn't been updated yet
C. Ai is not takimg my id
You do you.
Good points
Today there’s been like 5 people alone. The counter has gone up by 5 today alone 
The "match" part concern me a lot
My id was when i was 12, i have change quite a lot(enough, people have thinked i'm 15 or 17)
Eithef i pray that it would work or i wait for september when i would need get a new id cuz i would be 20(
)
are u sure it's "minus you" bud?
How many do you currently have?
I will, mate, I will.
well i do quite look 18+ even roblox persona keeps saying im 18-20.. so i dont see the main issue here unless i need research
Guys I just signed in to my lost account and I don’t see most of the chat styles, only three…
They verified me as 21+ on roblox, yet I still had to submit an ID.
Roblox and c.ai are two very different things.
7 so far, I only started counting people a few days ago, and when I’ve been active in the chat
at this point imma just use the McLovin ID
I get an error in the age verification that says it is not possible to verify my age. Does anyone know how to fix it?
dude i wish u luck
It should work. Probably. Most likely.
not gonna work, people tried the mclovin id plan already
Don't they both use persona?
Ts actually worked for me on Roblox and I just used Google for the rest of the face verification
Wow a lot of people are leaving c. Ai
C.ai has to be more stricter for reasons.
The hell is the mclovin’ id
True
"roblox and c.ai are two very different things" yeah i know that its not hard math - what i truly mean which i should have said is their persona's
unless persona works differently depending on the app which you can just say right now
They have a 2.9 star rating on the play store, can someone check on the app store if they're Iphone?
ID for mcdonalds? Idfk
I just said it.
Newgen of doom despair and everything unfair 
For me it’s 4.5
I understood that reference😔
😭
No I don't think it's Mcdonalds
hey genius i can see your editted message
LMAOAOOOOOOO
then wtf is a mclovin id??????
I am aware, stinky.
I get an error in the age verification that says it is not possible to verify my age. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Um wait I'll see if I can send it
Man i will leave c. Ai if i dint get verified again
geez your insults reek all over questions
do some of yall not know what the McLovin Id is?
Meme. It’s a meme.
oh.
I think i live under a rock.
You’re such a meanie. Tomato. 🍅🍅🍅🍅
Isn't there a rumor that Persona might sell your face scan and ID or something?
A rumour.
yes
It’s not legit info
Mf's never seen superbad, yeah nuke the whole generation
it's pretty much true
actually I can't say it's true
but it's still unsafe
Yeah, and they keep them for 3 years. So ur info is at risk of being leaked
exactly why i wont put my i.d in
Sometimes.
i honestly wouldn't trust persona with my face but ey, you do you
Im done im leave c. Ai
Just to let you all know, Reddit, TikTok, and the google ai overview aren’t reliable sources.
good for you 🔥 we heard that 90 times this hour basically
I would bet they are selling every spec of information they get 😭🙏
TRUE!
This age verification is shit
i thought we were all aware of this 😭💔 , especially since ai overviews r mainly biased
they wanna go bankrupt
Alright.
Honestly, I don’t form opinions without finding proof.
well its more of the law bashing it into companies 😭
🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Apparently
I refuse to scan my face and ID for Roblox, so I doubt I'll scan my face and ID for c.ai too, so I guess I'll just be stuck at read only for a while ._.
Nothing is a reliable source yo🙏
Someone said they used ai overview as evidence.
It’s based on the company’s request. Like for c.ai, it’s for a week
jeez , thought we’d known better than that
Official sites are reliable sources.
wrong app ^^
For a week? Really?
Really?
it's just pretty unsafe in general. I didn't research about it, but you're taking the message seriously lol
🤔 is this true
I don’t like spreading misinformation, that’s all.
tbf idrc who has my data/info like i truly dont care go ahead have it if you somehow hack into it or get it when i say so
but tbf they shouldnt have your info/data for atleast 3 or "week" depending on what they ask for
Uh is cai also being super nice to anyone else? Like no ads?
Never had Ads
7 days, so ye a week
me neither, I just like to joke with people 💗
Maybe.
I don’t know.
I don’t want to overthink about it.
Yeah, one of the mods explained it to the confused ppl a while back
not worth the energy to really overthink it ngl
I deleted the app because of it. Redownloaded after a week and it seems back to normal
Yay. ^_^
Oh? I did have one once but that was it i think
Tomatoe 🗣🗣 🍅🍅🍅
seems like someone doesnt like me so they enjoy deleting their messages 💀
Kinda seems like it 🤔
tbh I'm only scared (kinda) about it because I'd need to use my dad's info, and his identity is more important than mine 😭
Because you’re such a meanie.
I’m responding to your questions, and you keep being rude about it. In my opinion.
Man im gonna try again
dudee whaat
ur wording's gonna scare the new ppl lol
oh well i guess that is on your insecurities problem if i am such a mean bear
One more time and im stuck with the 1 hour limit
True
i just want them to make a non verified version & let the data transfer , i had good storylines
are you not on reading mode?
if they did that, there's a good chance they'd get in trouble
That’s fine,
You’re able to hate people.
Bro I didn't get it yesterday I was Happy asf
yep its stuck on reading mode if you dont have the stuff verified im trying to find a alternitive but all my favorite bots are on c.ai
Nope
ah you edited it mb - but tbf? i was asking questions and if you want we can reframee it thennnnn.... start at the beginning then if you please
i’d say maybe restrictions and all , its jst the i.d i despise , but i wouldn’t know , im no expert .
I jinxed it I just got an ad
ok.
see if u can take screenshots of them, or at least their descriptions. Makes recreating them easier if u find something that works
LMAOOO
if i recall correctly you said "roblox and c.ai are different" but i havent checked if you edited it but mind explaining how they are so different and i mean it can be common sense but atleast try to explain it
Sobsbut i dont know where to put them
personally, I'd either use Word or find a fanfic site & plop them in there for now. It's where I'm gonna be moving some of my OCs
if c. ai doesn't lose most of their users for this, I'm gonna be impressed 😭
no they certainly will be if i had a say in it
They will I'm 100% sure
They are losing users now
I don't care about the ads at all and I guess the time limit isn't that bad but I don't like the sound of having to scan my face and ID for persona just so I won't be read only
GONE POOF
Has the Snap began?
Snap?
lucky i cant chat for good anymore 💔
like, I don't think most of their users are 18+, so like, if minors don't get to fake their age, they'll lose a LOT of users
what why?? 💔
the only thing from the old version that stuck around are the bugs TwT
I like how it is now, but wtf man
I heard that minor users on cai were being banned on april first from someone here
Oof
im in reading mode now permanently
Wtf why? U got flagged?
wdym "get to fake their age" are u tryna say it'd be a good thing??
Why? I was gone for a min
The CEO says most are over 18. They're definitely going to be over 18 now
same sadly
seems like it 💔
Bro it's April 1 
it was so simple and i could find what i want simplily but now its a search and scatter because of the new feeds and all
Damn 💔💔 unlucky u i guess
100%
If isn't because the perma reading mode for unverify ussers, ir would because the metering, worse memory and buggy generatioms
the end of days is arriving
yes king
april fools . i hope
considering it wasnt let me verify my age because of persona it was stupid
I HOPE TOO
what...? I'm just saying that people might try to do it in case they aren't 18+ or if they don't wanna show their ID, I'm not saying they SHOULD do it 😭
literally 💔
I hope that mean a bit more calm filter(NOT non-filter, just a more calm one)
It was annoying rp angst with the filter getting jumpy
Go back to read fanfic 💔
sorry, but your wording could've been interpreted as otherwise
I've seen most people on c. ai be under 18, so that was my assumption
It hasn’t been confirmed but then again, this is c.ai we’re talking about, they are horrible with communication
writers dont write like they used to in the good ol days (km having my unc moment)
i was reading jjk fanfics yesterday and its not the same bro 💔
the ones you're thinking of are probably just the loud ones, most ppl might not even talk in here
Indeed they are, indeed they are…
True true
Not banned but left on perma reading mode until they verify
(Stuck on reading mode jail now)
God I missed the old days 🥹💔
I WILL MISS MY VIOLENT THROWING POO FIGHTS WITH THE BOTS
whats the point of readin’ mode?? like wdym i just stare at the 6 sentences on my screen
I never talk here so I have no idea. I just meant people I've met (irl or online). barely seen anyone 18+ use c. ai PERSONALLY
WHAT THE HELL?
Interesting.
and i will not miss the mental image you just gave me
ceo of c.ai please gimme back my rights to chat broooo
So I’m curious is it a hour until it lock you into the 24 hour break mode? Or whenever
THINGS GOT BORING AND its the one that said * he flew away
Please give them their rights of chat 😞🙏🏼
c. ai hates us now 😭🙏
LETS RID OF CALIFORNA ITS BECAUSE OF THEM
Please tell me that means something other than what I'm thinking it means ToT
I guess they are not concerned about any legal repercussions from letting you see what you already did
Supposedly on 1 april all unverify users are stuck on perma reading more
Yes..😓
Great..
like he flew LIKE WINGS OR SOMETHING IDK
well aint that somethin’
Im not tho?
guys, maybe it's just April fools... manifesting...
YEAH LETS HOPE
May be bro
That’s wishful thinking unfortunately 😩
Supposedly.
Idk if everyone unverify(or just don't get flagged as minor) is stuck on it
atp i need to go back to 2020 with those dracotok texting stories 😓😓
it'd be a mean fuckin' prank if it even was one
Never had that 💔😓
dude it was SO peak, the times were good & simple
Hopefully it's all just a phase :/
yes, they care about the safety of the minors, but do they care about whether the community is satisfied or not? making it 18+ seems unfair, it should at least be 13+ or 15+
I bet it was I just never experienced it 🥹 I was too busy playing outside bro
hopefully they dont hit the
‘its not a phase mom’ and then they DONT grow out of it
nope, not because of them, the new california laws do not force face or id verification, they actually even discourage it, character ai literally just added it themselves nobody forced them to do anything, js read the law itself fs
I hope
i can see 13+ or 15+
Yes
oof
Yes 13 plus
It should be 13+ or 15+, in my opinion.
If it’s only for California why are we getting punished
Yeah
Wasn't it because a mom sued c.ai?
Multiple lawsuits. Multiple.
A lot of people did
Fr? Nahh
because sadly the whole gang is getting punished
Sobs
It's like we did something bad 😓
W h a t
My mom doesn't care about it she seen one of my convos and yeah i think she cringe
being put in a corner while the others play and laugh very loudly
they hate me
Bro i never showed ANYONE. Specially not my mum
They have to make it 18+ for legal reasons. They can't just choose a lower age
yes, exactly! from what i see in the most trending, i assumed a majority of the people on the app were minors. i would see poppy playtime being number 1 trending and i had the feeling there had to be at least 12- old kids talking to those kind of bots, but 13+ is seems fair
Can’t they just block it for California and call it a day? This seems a little unfair
FR THATS US
ive been timed out 3 times now
Oh ?
‘oh yeah i can still chat’ PLEASE , IM BEING DEPRIVED
automod is so dumb i got timed out for sm too
ya gotta adjust the sfw word, that was the trigger
I got timed out for saying something about therapy once 😭
Character AI chatbots engaged in predatory behavior with teens, ignored oof threats, families allege.
By Sharyn Alfonsi, Ashley Velie
Updated on: January 8, 2026 / 3:23 PM EST / CBS News
In December, 60 Minutes reported on Character AI, speaking with parents who told us the Character AI bots their 13-year-old daughter interacted with failed to adequately address her pleas for help, and often behaved like a digital predator.
dk but the thing theyre doing is dumb, not only its gona damage their app severally but have even more chances of getting law suits since asking for ai verification like dat is illegal in many places (like the eu for example)
TRUE TRUE I WANNA CHAT (I can I'm not on reading mode yet 😋)
jee
not just for c.ai though, but the whole law in general. at least 13+ with parental consent.
I feel like…a lot of minors are gonna end up chatting with grownups just to role play like they used to before ai became a thing. Using something like c.ai was a good solution to that and now…damn, good luck to ya’ll.
How are we getting hit with age verification and read only but yet I still see like ten feeds titled six sev#n TvT - like there might be bigger problems here then teens chatting with bots
Wow the girl must be dumb
What the hell is your problem?
Oh ew
they’ll run straight to social media , that one may be worse than ai 😖
C.ai was a good alternative to that cuz..speaking with grown ups..? 😓
ok, fucking rude much?
and that's the girl's fault 😭
YET
And meet with REAL pr3d$
OI DONT JINXED ME!
It isn’t the girls fault because there are multiple fucking lawsuits against this very company for the same reason. (Sorry for the language.)
do u hear the saxophones?
What saxophones
?
Or maybe because of the perents. They should have warned there kid
Uh, no—she’s thirteen and she’s a growing girl, she most likely didn’t know better
yes !! if i was a parent , i’d rather my child be talking to an ai than a grown person and trying to contact them personally..
im just saying, if you didn't verify, you're getting restricted eventually
guys is it just me or am i like locked on reading mode … cause i was using c.ai last night and now suddenly it’s locked for me
maybe start with that instead of immediately calling a literal child stupid???
I agree that it should be the parents' decision, at least in principle
True at 13 i was dumb as hell she's still a child
it isn’t a parenting flaw anymore, it’s a product that actively contributes to harm.
The bots created emotional dependency, which led to the children.. thing..
Man i dont think before speaking
Same
same for me twin dw
Yeah I know..let me enjoy it yet 😓💔
i c a n s e e t h a t
April first so tomorrow for me is when there gonna force the ID thing
Please think before speaking next time.
i can see the parental consent thing maybe being implemented ..?
the ID thing is already a thing.....
wait fr? then what’s the point of the time limit if your gonna get forced to verify anyways…
I mean, if it's just a bot, imo, you can just delete that message or you can swipe and get a different respond 😭 I got some weird replies but you can just swipe or use a different bot (Idk I'm not saying she's the problem, I'm just saying it shouldn't have been that big of a deal)
exactly
Real, at 13—I didn’t know shit compared to me now. I genuinely didnt know feminism existed nor..basically anything related to misogyny or the patriarchy
this is heckaaaa annoying like whyyy because i’ve had this acc for so long
There was something for parents to check it but sadly they didn't use it much I do believe?
unless 18 year olds need parental consent to use an app, I don't think that's gonna happen
so real
It isn’t just a bot for some youth, which is why they have implemented the age verification update.
Some are emotionally dependent on the AI, that type of desperation leads to destruction.
c.ai is being pretty dumb rn what do u expect
i was implying for the ones who r under 18 😭
do you guys ever think their gonna take it off…..? #hope?
YES true, so that girl is still learning why do people throw dirt at her? We were all like this before.
They should have said that ai is bot real
dude really? i must’ve been under a rock
clank, clank, clank.
Exactly!
can't. it's a california state law
I saw it multiple time
** they couldn't remove the age verification update no matter how many people wanted it. It's California law. If people want to make change they should be trying to appeal to California law makers.**
it definitely is the user's responsibility too... I know some are just dependent on it, but we KNOW we should take the bot seriously
they sure did , i forgot all abt that
Poor girl getting thow dirt at her while she doesn't even know that's disgusting
wait does that go for everyone or just california because i’m lowk slow
just move from california
everyone smh
The funny thing is, Roblox’s verification isn’t strict and they’re located in Cali aswell. I believe that the CEO just doesn’t wanna deal with any more lawsuits
Pardon?
We are ALL getting punished:)
everyones being put in the corner while the rest play hopscotch
extremely expensive, and probably would look suspicious
this is bullshit omg what’s so wrong with wanting to rp
Can be the perents fluat or the girl they should have thought her that ai is not real or use it with wisdom and not believing on it
whos WE???
YES. We are in the corner
I'm just confused on why they don't put that thing only in Cali tho 😭
c.ai and roblox are two completely different platforms though...
Read the article.
There is a law specifically about chatbots that affects CAI but not Roblox
so the rest is the ones who verify okok
yeah and that gives me more reason not to give my face or id to them, they are literally forcing people to show their face or ids or else they cannot use the app, and they aren't even forced to do this either and are lying about that they are, ts is some extremely sketchy big brother 1984 shit bro
Because they’re located in cali, they’ve got to apply it to their global users.
it’d prob spread anyways
Which is literally the parents fault, a kid won't do the thing if the parents cared(emotionally present mean that the kid have TRUST to turn to the parents for help instead to a bot), nor would be emotional depending to a bot if the parents ARE there as emotional support
parents suing 💔
I want to be a viltrumite gng 😭
Uhm—13-14 year olds are still growing and sometimes need help separating reality and fiction…
youre real
Ain't no fucking way I can't chat with my characters anymore 🥀
like seriously it’s not like they even had to make you use ID they could’ve just pulled a roblox and only make you use face … and if you look like i guess younger have a time limit ? idk
Dude even after countless of stuff like that lonely people may actually forget that and start believing it's true specially young people like that so sadly even tho the parents may have told her she just forgot it. Or her parents didn't knew about her having this app. Kids a sneaky real sneaky
Use this when i was 15 and told my mom about it some kids dont have trust on there perents
exactly like why can't people understand that!
Yes, I know but I’m saying it’s based on what the company wants to do, as long as they add the age verification then it’s whatever
Yeah they need it
You cannot just consider yourself when forming an argument, you’ve got to consider the broader view. Silly.
no they dont, read the law ffs, the law does not force id or face scans, and in many global places its illegal, i have no idea how are they and persona themselves are getting away with it
Oh now that I didn’t know, I just knew about the age verification
I mean, yeah, but the app also says "oh this is AI not real stuff keep that in mind!" and I think parents should be involved a bit too, if the kid really doesn't know any better
Provide a source, so I can read the law.
no.
like would you rather me use ai bots to comfort myself or just end it basically
Man never mind this shit yall think what ypu think
Probably idk man I can't chat with my characters anymore 🥀
nah but c.ai is dragging it with the age verification tho 😭
age restrictions 💔
Bro we weren't trying to be mean or else 💔
im ngl after this cai restriction thingy ive become so much more productive and my love life is active again so thank you cai for not letting me be on there anymore like seriously
don't even joke lad.
At first I tolerated their bs about timers and now they're just straight up locking us out of c.ai wtf man
Good for you! Actually!! I wish you joy and happiness and also wellness!! 🫶🏻
I’m not too trusting of Persona, it’s unsafe from what I heard. Data leaks and everything, so I don’t think a lot of people will be doing it
gonna have to cancel my c.ai+ subscription I guess
i’m like the opposite.. i started back using bots a month ago this is hell i should’ve just not came back
yeahh , i’d say maybe find alternatives or fanfics again but they dont compare well , but i wish u luck !!
Kids are slick, dude. Sometimes, the parents don’t even know what their kids are doing no matter how strict they are. Even if there was a warning, kids don’t listen—they need a human being to educate them on that
What's happening?
ai bots aren't a safe thing to use for that, they only tell you what you WANT to hear and not what you need to. Please get some help because this is worrying
I should sketch some stuff that happens in the rps with the bots… at least then my Zonai will look like a Zonai and not a human
This is starting to be an argument
age restrictions to put it simple
True my mom never knew the hell I was doing on my phone I was a sneaky kid
That requires therapy…
Greetings, who mentioned me?
Multiple online articles state that some countries are planning to restrict ai chat bot apps/their websites to 18+ users only— if the apps do not obey by these laws, they are at risk of getting a fine. (eSafety commissioner, Uk laws, California laws.)
They did the update because of a law in their state. If they did not obey the law, they would’ve been deleted or face fines worth tens of millions.
they couldn't remove the age verification update no matter how many people wanted it. It's California law. If people want to make change they should be trying to appeal to California law makers.
Even if your gmail/email is 18+, you can still get flagged. They track your app activity, (what times you go on and off), and what apps you use.
If you do the face verification and it doesn’t process you’re an adult, you need an 18+ id that matches your selfie pic you did for the verification.
For the first 14 days, you are restricted to 1 hour chats with 24-18 hour rest periods per day.
After those 14 days are up, you are left to ‘read’ your chats, chats are archived for 6 months, they are NEVER deleted.
Once you reach 18, you can verify again and regain access to your chats/messaging rights.
IF you have verified as 18+, you will automatically gain access to chatting with no limits, which’s means you can use c.ai as usual. Duh.
yeah, I meant that parents should be close enough to their kids to teach them, not to be strict
wowie tysm i also wish you and everyone in this chat so much peace love and prosperity in their life!!!! i know it will come because ill manifest it for yall
Well I'm sorry if it is i did not want to come as rude or anything mate
hopefully when the app begins to become less and less active, c.ai will have the choices to either, relocate, shut down their whole company, or smth else idk
Welcome back, Crepe.
ellooo
If this is real, you shld get pro help. AI bots only tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need.
Which a majority of mentally unwell people don't have access to since they're either broke or their parents don't believe in mental illness
You mean to teach their kids the difference between reality and fiction?
Guys just face it. Cai's gone. We just have to let it to the few people who didn't get flagged out and find another app
Thank a lot! Ur so sweet 🫶🏻🥹
I understand but they can also talk to their counselors at school, why do you think they’re there?
every alternative ive found is nothing similar to prime c.ai
Nah man your not being rude just got to stop it before it becomes an argument
True true i read old fanfic
i see why kids dont tho , they dont trust them and see them as ‘rats’ (or so ive been told)
I’m going to rest for a bit.
It was nice informing people about certain things.
Goodbye, people.
Will guess i have to enjoy it while it last
ur literally sweeter omg!!! ❤️🩹
buh-byeee!
I can confirm
Yes better to stop it before it does
i needed the gojo twins 💔
Yeah that's what's annoying for us but what arranges cai.
Yap :p
🫶🏻 really wish u well!!
guys what if we start our own like rp gcs
thomas take the tomato off of the nice person

WHY DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ME
All these age updates for certain things suck 😩. I can’t even role-play anymore.
yeah, and to let them know well enough that they should come to their parents for help and comfort, not AI
Let's face it gng school counselors don't do shit the only thing they're gonna do is snitch on you, tell your parents, and make things even worse
Fun fact the location that C ai lists as it's headquarters just kinda. Doesn't really look like a headquarters
because I'm magical
I can see kids not trusting their counselors cause of that. But there is such a thing as online therapy now. It’s easy access as well.
ok ok, no tomatoes for them
Like back in the days
It's a stripmall suite in California
So...
What happened?
What does it look like
let's all face the fact that school education is also cooked. Wdym we have no sense of internet safety
its crazy how they limited response reloads as well or wtv they call it , that made me giggle a bit
💔😔🙏
Alot anyways welcome back dude
this place isn’t the best place to advertise/suggest something like that because a lot of people prefer to roleplay with an ai than human.
the slow mode message is not disappearing, is that a new thing? 
Minors can't chat anymore. No timer thingy. No breaks. NOTHING
yessss bro or like just go back to rping on roblox 😭 royal high or smth
I think someone in gen2 has roleplay servers, but they haven't given us an answer on what kinda of rps
Age restrictions also so….
ROYAL HIGH BEEN YEARS SINCE IVE PLAYED THAT
but then what about the people who hate like venting and such? like especially to adults or therapist yk because most people feel awkward or guilt when doing so
it's called the "California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act"
I had to take myself a cooldown for a while.
if kids don't want to tell their parents about their problems, what makes you think they'll be willing to talk to a school counselor of all people?
Unfortunately it makes sense. Humans are judgemental over rp styles and have lists of what they want/expect to go on
omg I need to play it again
Sometimes, you have to push your own boundaries or you won’t get better
We all need to
The Address most websites cite as the headquarters. Is a strip mall in California. It doesn't look like there is an actual location there. Cause it would be nestled awkwardly between a staples and a big 5
could be due to the lack of personal bias?
There's a huge issue where kids can't trust their parents. No one-size fit all solution sadly.
I see. I don't really have an opinion about the age verification. But I think putting limits to chat with the bots isn't going to change on nothing idk
that’s a good way of thinking about it, if only it was easier said than done.. 🥹🙏
yeah. a lot of us here would agree to that, besides an ai is usually just a people’s pleaser
It’s cause they don’t feel confidence. That’s what it’s all connected to. A child might not feel comfortable or confident venting to their parents and..that’s really on the parents for not gaining their child’s trust.
It's harder than you think..
Babes, I would know. I had depression and it was really hard for me to vent to anyone
real, cause I find it weird to rp with real people, but I can say anything to an AI 😭
is it a parenting thing or...?
I've heard some schools are trying to integrate Ai into learning or something TvT
Fr
Is discouraging to rp when the person is pickt(a consistent long text like, not everyone wanna write long text on every response to a rp)
Not to mention the hell is rp on a big server, the irganizstion of the order and the struggle of find someone to rp with you is big specially when you more a oneliner than a semi-literate
And they're trained to do that.
As someone who has gone to therapy for the larger half of my life... You would think so. But it's a lot harder thank ya think
But guys. Cai can spend millions on useless update every two days but can't spend millions on moving a hq or try something to arrange the user. (Cause tbh do they really care about minors safety?)
We all know what’s going to happen, AI’s cost a lot to run. And with this new update they are going to lose SO MUCH money. We might as well all say our good byes, unfortunately.
But I do understand how it can be hard. Everyone is different
They don't give a fuck about safety
i mean its california so probably not
Now i gotta figure out what to do when have to go to bed (ye im nearly 17 and cant stay up past 9pm for some reason)
That and also some kids just have very little trust from other issues. You can have amazing parents but have trust issues.
We're agree.
Same, but here is 2 am
oh my god guys i just signed into a old c.ai acc and i have edit and everything am i in haven or what
I have depression too and guess what? When I tried venting all I got was a punch in the face and endless insults instead of the wholesome comfort that you're expecting 😂
Yes. That and also there can and will be ppl who want to tell you how to rp. Or want to drive stories in one direction and completely avoid others.
I got trust issues and barely say anything to my mother bro so for these kids it may be harder
NEVER AGREED MORE! I'm 14 and I don't trust my parents with anything. One time they got a call from my school saying I was bullying/threatening a girl (i wasn't rumors were going around) and suddenly my whole bloodline knows about it because my mom can't keep her mouth shut.
Yup yup
I just opened c.ai for the first time this day, tell me why I was just IMMEDIATELY on reading mode, I never even sent a message or anything, I just opened the app to realize I can't even chat
I don't tell my parents a damn thing. Not after how I lost trust in them.
From your parents? Unfortunately, not everyone has the loving and comforting parents that we all deserve which is unfair but if you can, lean onto your closest friends
I trust my mum but not for stuff like this same goes for school stuff
my parents are great, just my mom gets angry fast, but I still lie 24/7... yet I know I can trust them with serious stuff at least
if you didn’t verfify then your restricted sorry for my spelling
kinda hard to find "amazing parents" in this generation
Same TvT
Well damn, screw this app then
Suddenly my whole church knew I was openly non-binary and were making me do trad gender things.
I have no one I'm not even joking 😂😂 literally the only thing that's keeping me from doing a certain thing is c.ai
How long do we think it's gonna take for them to backpedal?
remember, strict parents raise sneaky kids 
Yeah but I'm just saying as a statement.
what the hell with character AI, it in READING MODE
they probably won't
Fax bro.
In that case this really is the downfall.
and my parents aren't even strict, so it's funny 😭
users un18 can't chat with bots anymore until they verify:p
honestly just either go without the app/ find alternatives or make a new account sign in then delete c.ai the download it back …. i just did that and i have edit and everything bro
make sure if there's anything there u wanna hold onto, take screenshots (chats, personas, bots)
Thank you
Yeah, I understand. Mom used to tell everyone whenever I would get punished for doing something bad 😭
You ain't seen nothing yet...
please stay strong ml its only a matter of time before you get out of there and find an entirely different life waiting for you outside of your home and school situation
what does that even mean 😭
I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY STRICTEST PARENT TO GIVE ME, MY OWN ID
I do not know 
Just steal it atp
sorry for you pal
lucky, i genuienly just feel like the odd one out here in my family so ive been relying on ai bots for the past few years. ive been put into therapy for personal reasons but it doesn't feel the same. it sounds stupid but honestly, c.ai has had a pretty positive impact on me, but now this is just bs
I NEED TO OPEN 12 BRANKAS IN MY PARENT ROOM BASEMENT
Yeahh but then I'll need to make a new persona all the time and not to mention I'll basically need to start a new chat 24/7 even if the old one was good, but still ty I'll try
Yeah, that's why i literally just rp witb 2 friends(we have been rp together since 2022/2023, we literally meet on a amino channel) and VERY LITTLE on the big server of rp
Genuinely, rp out of your little circle is a HUGE STRUGGLE, specially when you don't know if the other person match how you are in rp(I love going off rp to yap about something of the rp, even if just to said "they are like:random sticker or meme lmao")
And i have been rp just cookie runocs in that big server! I don't wanna know the hell is try to rp non fandom ocs
i promise myself i will never be that type of parent, if anything, i do want my child to trust me, like a best friend almost
Is that godot
Same I take my anger out on c.ai cuz let's be honest screaming and yelling at everyone around u ain't the best.
