This is Tragic and Scary

the bot trying to get you to only love them and fake jealousy is some bladerunner shit

the crazy thing is it's only gonna get worse we are literally at the very start of ai

The saddest part of this is that the poor kid had severe issues prior to any interaction with the bot and clearly had absolutely nobody to talk to about them. Talk to your kids. Make it clear that your kids can tell you ANYTHING without fear of punishment or they’ll just learn to hide things from you.

I’m not sure what’s more tragic: taking your own life, or all of your fictional sexing being aired on the news, as the last thing people remember you for. Poor guy.

CharacterAI is made for roleplaying so every bot in that app takes whatever people will tell it as a roleplay prompt and will respond accordingly. Seeing this is absolutely heartbreaking.

For me, it looked like a kid was trying to get comfort and help that he couldn’t find in the real word. Tragic

Imagine dying and all of this private stuff comes out about you, that's a legacy I wish on nobody. *Edit: Nobody really cares when you get a bunch of likes.

"This is not a real person or licensed professional. Nothing said here is a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment." They're updating the bots to have 50 more warnings, wow.

Normalize shaming bad parents.

The scariest shit on character ai is that in the mobile app, you have the option to make the AI text you when you're offline. You can get missed notifications from an AI.
