Smartphones should have an 18 age restriction
You cant even drive a car till 16
Im not buying any of this. If you are treating your 17 year old like a child trying to limit his screentime there are more fundamental problems there. Obviously she wants compensation so this is more about litigation. Looks like a single mom looking for some money.
As bad as I feel for this woman and her family I have to be honest here. I've been using character AI for years and this woman is completely wrong. The only way character AI will ever say these things to you is if you push it to you and you have to push it really hard. You have to start that conversation and even then you have to keep editing it for it to even get on to those topics. Again my heart goes out to this woman and her family but she can't blame the app the problem was her son giving it instructions and leading it on to conversate in that way
Thanks for speaking up. We really need reforms on social media to prevent mental health crisis. Social media does more harm than good, let’s fix this problem and have rich tech companies stop this exploitation for money
