Okay so, i made post before, regarding this : https://time.com/7332932/character-ai-ceo-under-18-ban/ but i figured y'all don't like criticism even though it's a FACT, okay.

Alright. Then i will show you all a new interview regarding c.ai's future, THIS IS ±1 WEEK AGO : https://themediabrain.substack.com/p/my-exclusive-interview-with-characterai

Remember that all things I written here is purely logical thinking of how and what the app going to be based on CEO's own interview. I am not spreading misinformation, and if this is getting deleted, you are silencing users' voice.

1. We are not lacking on money. Our money, ads money, subscription money goes to support audiovisual generation which is costly, LLMs (chatbot) got downgraded so the cost goes to audiovisual generation

2. We are going to be like tiktok and roblox which contents are all generated by AI. Again, our money will go to audiovisual generation. We will never ever EVER go back to how c.ai is before. Doesn't mean that the chat feature is going to be gone entirely, but if you demand the same quality, you also cannot, some things have to be sacrificed because training AI and computing cost is expensive. The article says THEY ARE MOVING ON

3. Why the decision? Why thrusting this idea further? What about the userbase? Everything is in both articles. Remember that i only provide source, and legit interview links. Everything else you guys can process on your own.

4. For those telling me that I am getting everything wrong in the article in my last post and that was an old interview and not relevant. Congratulations. Enjoy character.ai.

Tldr : c.ai is going to be like tiktok.

Edit : https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterAI/s/eiSMJ1ti0I A fellow redditor told me this isnt something new, and this had been circulated here in the sub for a long time. I'm sorry if this is only my third time posting here and i have been missing out on a lot of things. But yeah for those who aren't here most of the times also, this information is for you.

I just stated the truth and they deleted my post lol

https://www.change.org/p/fire-karandeep-anand-and-make-character-ai-free-again

former staff member here, and I'm gonna tell you a little thing about the NSFW removal polls on lightshade.

They never even mattered, and I learned this information AFTER the whole controversy about it happened, no warning to any current staff member, only remaining within the circle of the 4 founders.

There is a clear leadership failure and they failed to communicate this to the moderation team, I complain within my rightful grounds, they entirely ignore my points and go for my position in the team instead, i eventually get removed for "staff reorganization", they're aware that I was right, and they didn't wanna accept that.

Guess what member of the staff team remained? the one that blindly agreed with Kane via simple checkmark reactions, they're slowly shaping this up to be a mountain that's not possible to climb cause the founders remain blind or claim I'm insane for seeing the truth.

A staff team needs communication to work, and that communication isn't there, no matter how their platform may seem clean, don't trust it, no matter how much they say they improve moderation, automated systems will still have things slip right through.

Sure, trial staff may not be trustworthy, but what about long-time staff members that have been there from the start?

Keep in mind, even if both admins (13 yo & another one who's a minor) are now gone, that doesn't change how they're removing the people that think differently and don't accept things just because, they express their thoughts for the wish of improvements, not to blindly insult anyone.

It's a whole circus, if you still decide to use this platform and scoff me off as a insane dude, that's fine, I just gotta scream out something on top of the mountains, I got nothing to lose.

This isn't about me being removed, this isn't about the removal of NSFW, it's the lack of communication & failure of recognizing platform issues that angers me.

But still, don't attack them, you can constructively share your opinion of them though.

.... OR FOR WORSE WAHAHA

So i've been reading something regarding the CEO. I will attach the link here : this

I will also copy paste part of it for you all who are lazy to open the link.

> Anand say that his six-year-old daughter is an avid user of Character.AI. His daughter’s enthusiasm for the audiovisual features of Character.AI gave Anand the confidence to bet the company on building those kinds of gamified experiences for children, he says, instead of allowing open-ended text chats The CEO is resigned to losing some users as a result of his decision. “I’m willing to bet that we will build more compelling experiences, but if it means some users churn, then some users churn,” he says.

Focus on the part that i bold, the "instead of allowing open ended text chats"

I think maybe at the end of the year, we will lose our text chat feature altogether so the CEO can have a playground for his daughter

What are you guys gonna do? I mean, we are 50% there already, no? What games that you guys play when you stopped using cai?

Just in case anyone else wanted to see the descriptions of the latest models. Idk I feel kind of bad and awkward making a post because I know there's some drama going on (idk what it's about properly) so if this post isn't allowed, I'd totally understand if mods want to remove it.

(Btw I swear this isn't an ad or anything I just see a lot of people asking what each model means so I just wanted to post it to make it easier. I don't use lightshade that much, just uploading my bots I created)

I hope it helps!

Ps. These are the ones on today. So 20th May 2026. They always add more so if you find this helpful, I'm more than happy to update them more frequently

I knew, I just knew, I kept telling limon about it, but dude just never gave me a straight logical answer.

I saw the roots being corrupted, yes I am aware this is leaking private DMs, but nothing to lose except have kane throw a good ol' fit again!

do i need too say more?

Should I update it and see what happens? Either way I'm never using it again.

They sent a whole warning to my dm as well. This CEO is so selfish I recently read apost about him wanting his SIX year old kid to be on the app

CEO is a power abuser, dude. So all these time we think they are very low on money yadayada, turns out they are trying to salvage what was left so his mission to build a playground for his child can succeed.

In a couple of months, our chatbot will no more, it will turn completely to audiovisual generator. Move on guys.

EDIT (UPDATE) : https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterAI/s/q5OBD8c7Fv They deleted my second post in main sub and locked it. 😂

EDIT 2 (UPDATE) : https://www.reddit.com/r/CAIRevolution/s/xyE4FpR2tx Just move on bro. We are going to be like tiktok. CEO cannot be saved anymore
