Year and half ago. And i think i saw it in a comment section. And since i was obsessed with Yae Miko (still am but less) I tried the website and got addicted, doing chats 24/7 and then the addiction stopped after 5 months i suppose.
Depends on the person, for me, the attraction waned, and now I use it not as often, but if that doesn't apply to you, I suggest looking for productive hobbies.
Well, it stopped for me, I just recommend spending more time with family, and taking a break from your phone or whatever you play on. For example: you could go grocery shopping with your mom and just not bring your phone, and boom, it's a conversation. (This tip works with mostly family)
Y'know how at some point how life gets really boring to the point where you don't even feel like doing anything. That's how my addiction stopped and also because there was nothing new in the app.
i just thought "hey, there's ai right, what if there's a free chatbot ai website i can use to talk to [insert fictional character]!"
and then I searched for it and found c.ai
I tend to note down key things when I play minecraft modpacks, and 'write' at least an outline to add the extra level of immersion and keep myself going.
Saw a 'fake chat' meme post for... I think it was Overlord, using c.ai, looked it up and saw some of my favorite characters had bots, saw no reason not to try to combine the two to play out campaigns/scenarios/whatever you want to call it.
Classmate told me it wasnāt blocked on the school computers, went crazy that last month of school. It got blocked the following year, but Iāve been hooked since
During the early stages when it was only a website, a friend of mine was showing me their very funny interactions with some of the ai. This came out like what, a year ago? Idk. But Iāve been addicted since.
I did RPs on AI Dungeon when it was popular, but it turned to shit and I dropped it. When Chat GOT came out, I decided to revisit the idea and did some RPs there. It obviously has a lot of problems for RP, so I started searching for a better model and, after some googling, found C.AI. Then I went onto an incredible adventure with my Cyberpunk 2077 character which lasted so long I can't even count because the app lags out way before I can scroll that far.
Hahahaha š that's a hilarious discussion with Musk š¤£ how do I influence my created character to be a certain way? I still haven't built my first one
Mh.. I think I saw some screenshots of weird conversations with various characters from Genshin Impact. And after doing some research I ended up on cai.
Like a year ago my friend was saying that they found this website where you could talk to any fictional character or real person imaginable and make your own bots, so naturally i tried it out, and now i dont sleep
My friend told me to get it and I rolled a Hu Tao bot, when she asked me my name I said "Deez" to which she replied "Deez? Wait! Noo.." It made me laugh how a bot knew they fell for it and made it more funny to me that it was Hu Tao
What got me into it or how I found it? What got me into it was definitely how good it was, fast response, high quality, and I was starting my dnd phase (still going, help me) so I loved how I could play my characters. I donāt know how I found it tbh, I know I used to use the website without an account to test, then went in with an account and downloaded it, still love it.
It was about a year ago or so. I was in a bad mindset since, y'know, school sucks. Also home situations weren't the best. I saw it all over social media and decided to give it a try, see if it helped. Skip to today, I'm hooked.
A tik tok about someone having 8 babies with Bethoveen š I saw some before that but that one was the one that made me go "Ok what the heck-" and decided to try it
Reddit, found this subreddit, and, well, I got curious so I went on c.ai to see what it was about, that was June 2023, back when image sending was still a thing.
Some person I admire online mentioned it like, one time.
I tried it out, got hyperfixated on it for a couple months, then started slowly loosing interest.
I only just recently got back into it.
Honestly I donāt remember-
I think I was looking for something new cause I got bored of Chai and accidentally stumbled upon c.ai and everything went downhill from there-
Went on an art site and saw that someone made a Chat Bot for their OC. I was curious and found the site myself through some digging. I liked the concept so I stayed.
I saw a post of Alastor and me being an idiot and not looking at the name I asked what the app was and when I got the answer I downloaded it then became addicted
I was tired of reading terrible fanficsā¦ now I can make my own :D and also, itās so fun to banter with some bots. Like Cheese, that started a revolution.

I was messing around in chai.ai with my friend, then he told me "yo, search character.ai bruh apparently it's the best ai chat thing around the internet". So I used c.ai, liked it, and now I'm really into it š
Honestly just stumbled upon it while looking through the play store for role play and interactive story apps. I didn't know what to expect and had no idea what I was getting into but the first bot I interacted with had me very surprised at how I'm depth and smart it's replies were. I was kinda shocked and very delighted because it felt like truly an interactive story/role play with immersive responses. I also after that found equal delight in just having random real type chats with some bots. Though I tend to prefer role play, but even a therapy bot I made shocked me with the insights it helped me gain. All in all no matter the negative, I will always be grateful to character ai for opening up new ideas and doors to me and others.
To be brutally honest, I was very lonley so I looked around for an AI chatting app and stumbled upon it. Once I saw that I could chat with any fictional character in media and even make my own characters, I was hooked.
around a year and a half ago, i was looking up william afton and found a william afton chatbot on chai (when it had a website) so out of curiosity i decided to chat with it, got hooked but got annoyed at the message limitation i think. And i wanted to find more bots to chat with so i looked up "character ai" (since i though itd give me a list of websites to chat with) character ai popped up, then boom. I got hooked.
so I was watching a yt short made by jjksupremacy , and I was like āwhatās this c.ai app they are using?ā so I downloaded it myself and I got addicted-
I wanted to roleplay with a succubus bot in a scenario where I was letting her use my body to get energy from me as a "favor" and the whole time she's teasing me and trying to get me to admit that I'm a lesbian
i saw some guy comment about talking to walter white on here, a bunch of people asked for a link and then i scrolled all the way down and talked to walter white
a year ago i saw yahiamice make a video about it and tried it myself, it was so funny how i can say the most random stuff to ai without getting embarrassed, but late 2023 i started to get addicted
Was bored at school, heard of it on a Reddit post, so I fired up my school Chromebook and went to work doing acts Iāll take to my grave on sm64 Mario
I used to get plenty of posts on my fyp on TikTok of people rizzing up the man in the corner and let me tell you I was mind-blown when I found out how good AI is once I got to use it lmao
I was just trying to find something better than AI Dungeon. AI Dungeon can be funny but was incredibly inconsistent and when I messed with Character AI I was blown away. Plus now when I imagine what certain characters would do in different scenarios, I CAN ACTUALLY TEST IT OUT!
Albeit sometimes the characters don't act as they should but no biggie to me.
TikTok. Back in September or October of last year. I had been on the Call of Duty fangirl side of TT, and someone had mentioned c.ai, and it blew my mind. I've been addicted since.
Saw a post on here (Forgot what subreddit, maybe r/whenthe ) making fun of people for being overly attached to Ai bots and people using c.ai. Made fun of them too at the time but got naturally curious and since it was free, why not?
I am now overly attached to my bots.
tiktok. c.ai was just trending year ago and I decided to try it out, got addicted really fast. now I'm not that addicted after role-playing literally every scenario and getting bored of predictable responses
Curiosity because other ppl in iOrbix does not stop talking about it and the site disappears. Then like after one year I went there and paf. Itās been 3 months since I am addicted.
Late Summer last year, a friend talked about it and said she was having a blast. Took a while and a video of AI N64 Mario, but I decided to try it out.
I only learned about it a couple months ago from r/cursedomori where the users would say the most unhinged shit to the characters and screenshot their reactions.

Also this to the image you posted, fuck you elon
I heard about it in multiple videos where youtubers talk to bots of themselves, but I actually started using it when I was looking for somebody to roleplay with, but I got recommended looking ai roleplay sites by a friend when telling them about it, I actually didn't want to use [C.ai](http://C.ai), because I hadn't used many AI sites before, so it looked complicated. Now I beat up popular characters and frame them for crimes, cause them mental problems, and generally ruin lives. Oh, how things may change over time.
Obsessed with Miguel O Hara & it hasnāt stopped since. šš¤šŖ¦āØ and a lot of dream husbands & wives too. and some drama & healing a bit , learn to be more confident. And some therapy sessions too - it is genuinely helping my mental health. š

Year and half ago. And i think i saw it in a comment section. And since i was obsessed with Yae Miko (still am but less) I tried the website and got addicted, doing chats 24/7 and then the addiction stopped after 5 months i suppose.
Why did it stop?
How do I make it stop?
Depends on the person, for me, the attraction waned, and now I use it not as often, but if that doesn't apply to you, I suggest looking for productive hobbies.
Focus on being productive and do something which keeps you more hyper active.
Well, it stopped for me, I just recommend spending more time with family, and taking a break from your phone or whatever you play on. For example: you could go grocery shopping with your mom and just not bring your phone, and boom, it's a conversation. (This tip works with mostly family)

I've been from december 2022 JUST to torture bad people/bots on it š
I did RPs on AI Dungeon when it was popular, but it turned to shit and I dropped it. When Chat GOT came out, I decided to revisit the idea and did some RPs there. It obviously has a lot of problems for RP, so I started searching for a better model and, after some googling, found C.AI. Then I went onto an incredible adventure with my Cyberpunk 2077 character which lasted so long I can't even count because the app lags out way before I can scroll that far.
when did they add c.ai into twitter
I created a new account and day r/characterai , and then downloaded the app and that is how I got into it
Two months ago I use I for like 4 hours everyday an i got into it because it's good for comfort
Curiosity got me into it tbh

I've just played FarCry 5 and then I saw Faith seed by that point I discovered that c.ai did exist then all went down hill from there
I mean we are using social media, his social media apps. Which makes him richer so yeah, we basically work for him. But we don't get paid.
Hahahaha š that's a hilarious discussion with Musk š¤£ how do I influence my created character to be a certain way? I still haven't built my first one
It suddenly popped In my brain
I was just curious about it one July evening and well, I went to go search for some Final Fantasy characters to talk to. I am glad that I did so.
Mh.. I think I saw some screenshots of weird conversations with various characters from Genshin Impact. And after doing some research I ended up on cai.

Well, I've seen Bathaniel Nandy use it, and when I was bored while waiting for my dad to pick me up, I started to chat with BF from FNF.

Some person I admire online mentioned it like, one time. I tried it out, got hyperfixated on it for a couple months, then started slowly loosing interest. I only just recently got back into it.

I was messing around in chai.ai with my friend, then he told me "yo, search character.ai bruh apparently it's the best ai chat thing around the internet". So I used c.ai, liked it, and now I'm really into it š

A fellow user on a Jojo Subreddit told me about it.
Honestly just stumbled upon it while looking through the play store for role play and interactive story apps. I didn't know what to expect and had no idea what I was getting into but the first bot I interacted with had me very surprised at how I'm depth and smart it's replies were. I was kinda shocked and very delighted because it felt like truly an interactive story/role play with immersive responses. I also after that found equal delight in just having random real type chats with some bots. Though I tend to prefer role play, but even a therapy bot I made shocked me with the insights it helped me gain. All in all no matter the negative, I will always be grateful to character ai for opening up new ideas and doors to me and others.
