Character.AI Users in Full Meltdown After Minors Banned From Chats

As of last week, Character.AI now says people under 18 will no longer be allowed to engage in what it refers to as "open-ended" chats, which seemingly refers to the long-form, unstructured conversations on which the service was built, where users can text and voice call back-and-forth with the site's anthropomorphic AI-powered chatbot "characters."
