    tragic case. Character.ai is full of depravity, and it seems that is also unmoderated; every user can publish a bot of their own liking/design, then the gullible nature of kids (or even adults) and a non safely stored gun. I hope there will be consequences for every involved party (so character.ai and the “parents”), perhaps even stricter policies in regards to LLMs.
