The lawsuit includes an hour-long screen recording of Character.AI's bots disturbing interactions with a user that identified as a 13-year-old.

Warning: this is really awful.

    tragic case. Character.ai is full of depravity, and it seems that is also unmoderated; every user can publish a bot of their own liking/design, then the gullible nature of kids (or even adults) and a non safely stored gun. I hope there will be consequences for every involved party (so character.ai and the “parents”), perhaps even stricter policies in regards to LLMs.

      It sounds like the parents weren’t even aware. They said he was spending his snack money on it. He probably bought gift cards or something.
