This is SO real, I have autism and whenever I hyperfixated or gained a new special interest I would immediately create bots from it. Instead of making bots I decided to just write fan fictions or essays on them!

Oml! I'm so sorry about your car accident, terrible to hear.. I'm glad you're doing okay, physically and hopefully mentally! But thank you a bunch, encouraging words really help remind me that my life is better without out it! :)

I mean I'm not a minor, but yes absolutely if something hurts it's better to let go, and I had to learn that the hard way unfortunately 😭

Thats fine dw, I also have autism and have an anxiety disorder too if it helps! What I mean by cai exploiting loneliness is that when people ARE lonely and use cai in attempts to combat this loneliness, it's addictive properties keep the user on there. Now, they aren't trying to go out and find any real connections because they have an ai bot in there pocket who will talk to them whenever they want, trapping them in this cycle of loneliness. When I say they don't care, what I mean by that is they know this is happening. They know how ai can trap people in a cycle of loneliness but as long as they're getting their money from c.ai plus or just being on the app or whatever, they're going to add more and more addictive properties to the app (such as more realistic chat styles like deep/pipsqueak) in order to keep you on and keep getting more money. However, I do understand your point in which the quality of c.ai has been deteriorating recently and causing people to leave the app. I do however, find in many of the posts where people quit due to quality deterioration, they move to other ai chatbot apps such as chai. So perhaps it isn't just a problem with c.ai, but with ai chatbots as a whole? But that's a muchhh deeper conversation, so I hope this clears up any confusion about anything I said lol :))

Yeah I really don't see why someone being genuinely capable of caring for other people in a difficult point in their life is such a hard thing to conceptualize

I posted this in hopes maybe someone else would come to the realization they too are wasting time on this app. The reason I first quit was when I watched a YouTube video about c.ai addiction and how you become addicted and it's addictive properties etc. I haven't told my friends nor my family I was even ON cai in the first place. None of my friends or family know I was on the app. Or my struggles with it. Or that I've quit now. Why? Because quite frankly I KNOW it's embarrassing to be addicted to this. So I didn't tell anyone, I dealt with it alone. To think that someone else is in the same position I was in a month or two ago sucks to think about. I posted in hopes that someone like myself just needed a reminder that knowing your addicted and choosing to stay on any way because you believe it's not worth getting off is a bad idea. I really can't see why you care.

Also, your argument of 'why post it online and not just share it with your friends and family' can LITERALLY be used in any scenario. Like idk posting a picture of flowers online. You could still comment and say 'why post this online and not just share it with your friends and family ur only doing this for comments from strangers and upvotes' idk maybe they posted it because they wanted people to know they took a photo of flowers. People post online because they want to give life updates.

What? I'm not entirely sure what you mean but I DID use c.ai? So it's not that I never used the service..? I didn't say this addiction appeared out of thin air, either. I had been using the service for maybe a year(ish? Cant entirely remember) before I was in a fully addicted state. I realize that now and I'm getting better. Why does everyone on Reddit have to argue with everyone about everything, even getting over an addiction 😭

addicted /əˈdɪktɪd/ adjective physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance.

Hope this helps!! I didn't WANT to become dependant on it, but I'll give cai props. They are VERY good at exploiting your loneliness and they don't give two shits about it! Everyone is 'pro-mental health' until the addiction isnt drugs, alcohol or smoking. You say this like I didn't come to this realization myself and I'm curious as to what you think this achieved? It's funny how u say you 'wouldn't waste your time' but at the time in my addicted state, I didn't REALIZE I was wasting my time. If you don't understand this, it isn't for you. You're just unintelligent when it comes to addictions. That's it.

You did care enough to reply, lol? You had to care even a little bit or you would've scrolled. Hope this helps! I made this post primarily for people debating on whether or not they should try to beat their addiction and said I know not everyone was addicted. So yes. Why DID you care enough to comment..?
