The ServitorThe 5 mins I've spent on character.ai was enough to creep me out.
But seems like the lede should be "11 year old given unmonitored smartphone." If it wasn't AI it would be any of the other evils a kid can encounter. I notice they didn't consider taking the phone away.
@TheServitor Sorry, so very wrong. Studies show if you try take the phone away the kids get access to other phones. This is 100% on the evil AI companies, 0% on parents. Parents cannot be expected to deal with this. Do not drink the Kook-Aid.
