Created a discord channel for daily check in

Hi! Guys. I had a post here few days ago. Where i talked about some more reasons to quit this app and also suggested creating discord channel for everyone. I have created one and i also added a habit tracking bot. Feel free to join in.

I'm not a huge discord person, so dont really know how to make everything work haha. Am open to suggestions. I created one channel name 'reading' too, I read books so I thought might as well share some with you.

If yall still need more reasons to quit

First of all, that app is shit rn, best time to quit. straight to the point, following paragraphs are from a RESEARCH STUDY. Ai-c= Ai character

The human–AI power structure normalizes one-sided relationships in which the AI-C consistently prioritizes the user’s desires without any need for reciprocity, potentially conditioning users to view only those who suppress their own needs and wishes in the service of the user’s preferences as ideal romantic partners.

These interactions may distort adolescents’ perceptions of relationships and body images, leading to desensitization, decreased empathy, and a weakened ability to recognize their partners as autonomous and equal individuals in human relationships.

Social media is doing its job too for promoting this kind of behaviour where your partner is you therapist, loves you unconditionally, is the smartest, is hottest etc etc. Link to the study is below-

Following one is from a news article two years ago-
A lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court asserts app maker Character.AI and its founders knowingly designed, operated, and marketed a predatory AI chatbot to children, causing the death of a young person in Florida earlier this year.

Good thing they have age verification now. When i had actually noticed this pattern, i actually thought about the whole epstein thing. Wouldn't this considered as desensitisation to predatory behaviour too? I feel like have already became pretty desensitised to so many things that used to make us uncomfortable, thanks to the internet.

Also i dont understand people who complaining about bots being shit, why dont you just try to quit; its an opportunity. I had actually exited it for a few months, but was back again; I use it mainly for novelty these days--but then realised it makes real life feels dull. now am quitting once more and wont be going back. All the best to every lovely human who's trying. If anyone is up, should we start a group or something where we can track our progress, sort of accountability thing?!
