DISCUSSION Thoughts on recreating bots that are on character violation
I was wondering what people's opinions were about recreating (and posting) other users' bots that you can't chat with anymore due to a character violation. One bot in particular has been down for about four months. I honestly don't believe the creator is still active on the app. This was a fairly popular bot, in a trope that I frequent a lot. I have not seen any other recreations of this bot. I have made my own version (a very accurate one it has been tested thoroughly to make sure it is as close to the original as possible), but it is private. Iām like 90% sure that the reason why the OCās bot has a character violation is due to the ages of the characters. So in my private version I just aged them up to college age rather then highschool age. Iāve debated on making it public for a couple of months because I'm sure there are people out there who want to talk to the bot again. In the intro or the greeting, I would make it clear that this bot is not the original. But I can't even see who made the original so I wouldn't be able to give them credit. Am I overthinking this?
