Megan Garcia sued Character.AI in federal court after the suicide of her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer III, arguing the platform has "targeted the most vulnerable members of society – our children"
Issue I see with character.ai is that it seem to be unmoderated
Its entire fucking point is that it’s an unrestricted AI for replaying purposes, it makes this very clear, and is clearly for a valid purpose
Why the Frick do sexual undertones or overtones come even up in non-age restricted models?
Because AI is hard to control still, maybe forever?
They, the provider of that site, deserve the full front of this lawsuit
Lol, no. I don’t love companies, but if they deserve a lawsuit despite the clear disclaimers on their site and that parents inability to parent then I fucking hate our legal system
Shit mom aware her kid had mental issues did nothing to actually try to help, wants to blame anything but herself. Too bad, so sad, I’d say do better next time but this isn’t that kind of game
But disclaimers, who read those? Probably not kids. And if LLMs can’t be moderated/controlled then there needs to be laws and rules do that they do become easier to moderate and control. This is getting out of control real fast.

Yes I agree with you on the parenting side.
