Shut down Character.ai


Shut down Character.ai
The Issue
Ever since the face verification update to check if users are 18+ I have personally decided to not give them mine or family members faces. Along with that, I believe shutting down Character.ai will help both the world, and its people as there is going to be less water used by AI systems, and people will most likely do something more productive or talk to more people in their free time. We, the people need to stand up for ourselves and help our own earth, just to survive on its very own.
Before the age verification update, which poses danger to many teens and/or adults online Character.ai has been seen to harm communities such as
- Damaging mental health of young people online
- Using the earth's water storage along with other AI systems
- Might promote inappropriate content to minors
- Many having unhealthy emotional connections to these AI's
- The chat bot's often having an addicting nature to them
Want to improve our world now? Every little step helps!
