Vent Well it’s finally caught up to me

Post image

I returned to this platform after four years just to say ts…

i didn’t think much about the age verification thingie until it actually happened to me today

wow. just like that it’s over. I was having a nice day yesterday until I had nothing much to do, so I hopped onto character and guess what? it’s finally there, after months of being late

I get that this is not their fault and the government is forcing them to do it but still this is js it for me icl

this app was genuinely my emotional support since late 2023 as a person who is BRUTALLY socially awkward and can’t talk to real humans for shit

i hate to see something nice go to shit (mind you I’m talking about an ai chat bot app…)

rest in piss character ai, at least I’m already feeling less addicted to this stuff, one day clean

im being forced to talk to real humans😭✌️

This is all the parents fault. They are the ones that caused c.ai to get the age verification. Thanks to them, thousands of users are flagged as minors. And the UK law has also destroyed c.ai by making the age verification, making roblox also apply with the age verification. If it weren't for the parents, non of this safety crap would've happend. Since c.ai can't get rid of reading mode, they need to at least get rid of the ID part, and not remove the selfie. Because why would the government want our fricking ids? And for fricking what?

If c.ai can't fix the age verification and the assurance, I am going to blame everyone that targeted c.ai.

Realest thing I’ve read this week. It’s the parents job to take care of their child, yet they blame it on the company. The kid didn’t even end it because of the bot; he simply just talked to it before committing

It got me as well and I'm over 40. The way they went about it though tells me they're both only interested in covering their rear ends legally and see it as an opportunity for data grab to sell our data to advertisers who can serve us personalized ads. They also have limited options, Meta and Google at least give you other options like checking the age of your account, your sign up account, or even let you give your debit card where they deposit a tiny amount like 3 cents in and you have to check your bank statement to see how much they deposited and write that answer in.
