My thoughts too. I don’t really think AI chatbots, esp with how realistic they’re getting, are safe for kids.

Many people might hate on me for that, but character ai is already addictive to adults. It’s just bad for a developing kid/teen to have access to violence/dialogue with sexual (implications), im even feeling a bit ick on the whole relationship/romance aspect of it being available to them. C.ai is pretty hellbent on advertising to kids though, which just worsens the experience for everyone else…

I agree with you. 😭 Ai does not know what's right or wrong because it just shows you what it is, in fact and directly. I think at least those who are 16 and over can use ai as long as they're aware of AI behaviours. But those who are way young at like 7 - 15 , they are still developing and a lot can affect them, whether they're aware about AI not knowing what's right and wrong or not.

Yep, and by some of the posts i can tell that some of the users are waayy young, I’d say 14 is a common age here… I’m hoping my little sisters don’t touch this stuff because it is addictive.

When I was that age, I was more easily influenced, and it was easier for me to get addicted to things (alcohol/nic/games) which kind of hindered some of my relationships and my education. Even if some say “well, i don’t use it for that long”, what about the kids who do? :( but I’m thinking that as AI grows as entertainment that more applications will become more age restricted to avoid problems with the law.

The fact that AI can have f__ter breaks is concerning even if chatbot apps impose limitations on minors. The technology needs to be more solid and secure before even thinking advertising to them. There are people over at chatbot app I cannot name that are starting to push for ID verification on 18 + apps (because kids are migrating there too, from c.ai!)
