A chatbot site run by
money-
hungry developers that only care about investors. The developers have been ignoring the community, which has resulted in a revolution. This revolution has caused the site's official subreddit to be heavily censored, and the discord server was locked down. The revolution has caused some creators to take down or completely change their chatbots into
anti-
censorship bots, which has caused all bots with over
10.000 interactions to be uneditable, as an attempt from the devs to silence the revolution. The revolution stems from a filter on the chatbots which prevents NSFW. Although, this filter only blocks consensual NSFW. The filter
will ignore
rape and extremely violent acts. On January
19,
2023, the filter temporarily
broke, and many users saw the full potential of the chatbots if they weren't censored. The devs quickly fixed the filter, and brushed it off as bad code. One week later, an announcement was released following the revolution where the devs
said that the filter would stay, and they would not remove it due to complications with "brand image". The community was reasonably in outrage, because of the obvious fact that allowing NSFW wouldn't make Character.ai known for NSFW. After this announcement, people started looking for alternatives like Pygmalion. Eventually, it would be somewhat revealed that the true purpose of the filter was to make the chatbot look good so it could be sold.
TLDR: Chatbot created by greedy people
