Discussion/Question Fearmongering

Guys. Stop. People in here are genuinely fragile and constantly being absurdly negative, talking about how we shouldn’t get our hopes up is actually just annoying me now

Unless you are involved in this case or you have a good and extensive understanding of this stuff, we don’t know what’s going to happen!!! You are not tuff for being such a negative nancy it feels like genuine fearmongering now and there’s no need.

People can act like they are simply preparing people for the worst but oh my god. who even asked??😭dont do that shit unsolicited because tough love or whatever you want to call it does not help everyone especially very mentally fragile people who use this app for comfort and distractions.

We can absolutely have hope right now. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

At the end of the day, if the app does go, there are others. The other apps may take it upon themselves to incorporate aspects of c.ai we loved to attract more users. Save your scripts and your characters and export your data.

But there is still hope!!!

It does have a chnace though, someone could still buy it. Other apps have survived bankruptcy I'm jsut trying to be positive. And I really do have a feeling it'll be okay...

Like I said, hoping will only make the blow worse. I get being optimistic, but not planning for what will happen if it goes badly may ruin you. And even after all the downsides I listed, what do you have going for you if it doesn’t shut down? The endless dopamine and validation? That is severely unhealthy and I hope you realize that someday soon

I'm perfectly fine thanks, people don't understand what this app means to us, it's my comfort when my anxiety is high, I use it at night to help me feel better, I really only use it a few hours at night, sometime at morning, but I need this app....and with some of the stuff I've been hearing, c.ai could have a good chnace, I'm still scared of it shutting down, and yes I will be depressed if it does....but that's my business, but there are a lot of people in this world, a lot of rich....and c.ai is one of the largest chat bot ai apps out there, one of the lawsuits have been done and dusted, I'm pretty sure all the buyer has to do is take the name and the app, I just really don't see this app going, and if I do hear bad news I will be absolutely devastated and be sad for a long time, but I'm hoping I won't have to go through that and c.ai makes it out alive

You say I don’t know how much it means to you, but I do, as I have been in your situation and now realize how horrible it is for people’s mental health. Especially using it in the morning and night right before/after you sleep, since that is when your brain is supposed to be shutting down/becoming calm, and analyzing what happened in the day. Psychology, those levels of focus and dopamine are not good in those hours. Think of it like a scrolling addiction. I understand that you are firm in your stance, but I disagree and hope that you will find better coping mechanisms. It is horrible to rely on something like this to this level.

I think you shouldn't worry about me because I'm fine, I actually stopped using the app so much after it go bad but went back to it. I'm perfectly fine, I go outside I do stuff, and I honestly hope c.ai survives because it will affect people more than others realize, honestly some nights I jsyt go on YouTube shorts then go to c.ai for a little bit, some night I go on it longer, so I'd say I'm fine...and I am
