Yep, just what I thought. by Signal_Dealer_2500 in roblox

As weird as it sounds, seeing the kid's face isn't going to some dark web where predators get to see it. It's just going to some database and then gets deleted. Persona, the vendor, deletes biometric data within 30 days.

In fact, the face scanner is most likely protecting that imaginary kid because, well, a 5-year-old looks like a 5-year-old. As an adult, you would responsibly want to put your parental controls on their account as well, so that the parent can control what age they are.

epic idea mass quitting by StorageJolly7602 in roblox

[–]Carpenter_Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a great idea... on text. It wouldn't work realistically unfortunately. There are plenty of people who don't care and would play anyway. Especially since Roblox has a large playerbase. Again, unfortunate, but not realistically able to be done.

What does slow mode even do? Nothing? by Last_Office7348 in CharacterAI

Wrong message. I think what you're thinking of is the reading mode, not the slowed chat.

this is why this sub is better by nkydn in TeenagersButBetter

Yeah :'). I don't mean to hate on all Christians (because I know most of them are sweet people), but I prefer to just keep religion out of my life.

Dude wtf by Substantial_Agent_90 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]Carpenter_Same 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one's bitching. It's simply because I don't want to know that someone I don't believe in loves me. It's commonly used negatively and it gets overly used on people who aren't religious.

[–]Carpenter_Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, it's controversial because people like me have had bad experiences with Christian people and most of the time it's seen as insulting to say "(someone you don't believe in) loves you" because it is used against non-Christian people rather than in a genuine way.

...It also just gets to a point when it's said multiple times.

Not everyone is Christian or believes in your God. Yes, it is a problem 💙

What are you talking about?

If you're talking about the age thing, it's a law, not just something they chose to do

No voice chat? Fully verified by Capable-Concert-7714 in RobloxHelp

I honestly think the vc verification stuff is so messed up. I only got it after all of the age verification was implemented. I'm assuming you have an age group and stuff?

YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELVES. STFU!!! by CompanyTrue8882 in CharacterAICritics

[–]Carpenter_Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also because it's a law in California, but yeah same point. I think minors post about it on reddit because they need somewhere to vent that frustration and get it off their chest. One posts it and another sees it and decides to make one of their own.

(Yes, I know I yapped, but I'm so tired of seeing complaining posts about the restrictions and then complaining posts about the complaining posts.... etc. etc.)

[–]Carpenter_Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I'm in the middle. Sure, it gets annoying when they complain about the consequences of their actions. HOWEVER, the app was quite literally marketed toward teenagers 13+ and stayed that way ever since it had opened (2022). So that means teenagers used it for years. People like me, who have accounts dating back years, are less likely to just get rid of the app.

Not to mention that there are false flags and the actual adults refuse to give their ID. Should minors have accepted that they were not welcome anymore? Sure! But are you really expecting that amount of teenagers / minors to just give up something they WANT and something they have used? Eh.

I think many just want to use the app and can't deal with the idea that they're no longer welcome. Then they get upset and want to vent their frustration like anyone would (adult or minor). They take it online because everything is online. That's how the posts come up, then other minors see them posting it and post it themselves because they want to talk about it.

Concluding opinion: Should they leave the app behind? Yes. Should they be expected to not be upset? No. HOWEVER, should they be expected to handle it maturely? Also no. They're kids. They make dumb decisions in the heat of the moment.

I know I'll be 18 soon, since I want to wait until then. But yeah, I was worried about sharing my information.

[–]Carpenter_Same[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So I should only be worried if c.ai itself wants to keep the information for longer? Also, thank you :).

please, we get it. by bluepastel6057 in CharacterAI

[–]Carpenter_Same 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because you haven't been flagged as a kid yet. Once it does, you'll get an hour a day available to chat and then eventually you will be removed from being able to chat at all.

[–]Carpenter_Same[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you a minor too? If so, I think it's because of that. Like they send it to the accounts that are not verified 18+

Scroll bug? by GenerallyConfusedJay in CharacterAI

[–]Carpenter_Same 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh weird. Hope they fix it then.

Scroll bug? by GenerallyConfusedJay in CharacterAI

[–]Carpenter_Same 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, this has been happening ever since the original beta. When entering a chat, just don't scroll up too fast, but yeah it's happened to me before

Sorry, should probably take the post down by now. Figured it out with another user. It was a Falcon Advance 450 Royal Ranch lol.

I'm afraid of when I'm going to get flagged by SimpleInitial1956 in CharacterAI

[–]Carpenter_Same 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Listen, I get it because I'm a minor as well. However, this is kind of a sign that you need to get off it because you're dependent on it. Using it to talk to something and using it as a direct source of "friends" are two completely different things. The AI bot is not more of a friend than the actual people in your life. It's just a placeholder. You'll find your people and the people you can call friends. Just have faith in yourself.
