"Character.AI claims the goal isn't 'replacing books - but making them impossible to ignore.' The new feature allows users to follow the book's core plot or 'go off script mode.'"
"The company scraped classic - and copyright-free - titles from Project Gutenberg, including 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'Pride and Prejudice,' and 'Romeo and Juliet,' to create chatbots that allow users to 'enter a story, and interact with its world in real time.'"
Character.AI has faced criticism for hosting inappropriate content, leading to a ban on underage users after several tragic incidents. The company has now launched 'c.ai Books,' a feature that transforms classic literature into interactive storytelling experiences. By utilizing public domain works, users can engage with familiar narratives and characters while choosing their own paths. The feature aims to enhance engagement with literature, although it raises concerns due to its accessibility to younger audiences.
