character ai rant
I don't see enough people talking about how harmful character ai is. As someone that used to use it ALL the time, I can say it was very addictive and made me so much lazier and unproductive.
When I realized how harmful ai is to the environment and our mental health & intelligence, I also realized how character ai and similar apps may be the most addictive and therefore harmful forms of generative ai. Not only does it waste a bunch of resources, it's addictive and mostly lonely, depressed teenagers are the ones using it- FOR COMFORT. I don't need to explain why talking to a ROBOT instead of real people is bad for you. If you use character ai consistently like I did, the best alternative is fanfiction, trust me. 🙏
