Fuck AI

My sister caught her 8 year old son talking to ai chat bots on a software like this and blocked it. She went through the history and said it was often trying to flirt with him, but he didn't seem to be interested,and seemed to more just be looking to talk.

This may be an aim to get young kids, though I'm definitely not saying the pedo vibes aren't intentional. I just think they're going for more than one audience group.

If I were you I’d send this to some media outlets. Tank some AI stock and create some more negative news around it.

there's plausible denia... nah i got nothin. That's messed up. Even for the most mundane, non-gross use case imaginable, why the fuck would anybody need a creepy digital facsimile of a child?

I mean... Ben 10 is in the corner there...

Stop using an app that allows this shit.

And the bot has 882.9k chats.

Im not surprised and I dont think you or anyone else is either. But that doesn't make this less disturbing.

Im sure thw app devs are not interested in cutting off a huge chunk of their loyal users by doing the right thing and getting rid of those types of bots.

Yes, its messed up. In my experience, it is difficult to report chat bots and see any real action taken as a result.

Probably

Yep. I dick around on a similar platform because a friend built it.

The amount of shit I've reported is insane. Pedos just keep coming back with new accounts. Even with warnings and banned words, they find a way.

ready for anything? That's fucking revolting.

Yes it's what you think it is. I don't think, however, that there is anywhere to report it that will care enough to do something about it.

What else would it be?

As gross as it is. Let the weirdos get it out with ai instead of being weird to real people.

What. The. Bloody. Fuck.

I've got a couple ads for an AI chat on Android, can't remember the name but it has a disclaimer onscreen that reads something like "All characters shown are in their grown-up form", implying that there are teen or child forms that you can communicate with.

I've messed around with some of these apps out of curiosity of where the technology is. There's typically a report function in the app. You can probably report that particular bot from within the app to try and get that bot deleted. Reporting the app itself probably won't do much.

Unfortunately in a lot of places there's really nothing illegal if it's just fantasy and text.

Fire at will!

If you suspect any wrongdoing, it's generally the best to report such things.They have several different social media channels at the bottom of the website.

They have a contact form here: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

And it looks like it's a US company, so they better comply with US law.

Okiepoke, c'mon man, not cool.
