The Character.ai has sued in the past over some of the messages sent to teens

A US-based advocacy group, which is helping represent the parents of a 17-year-old who committed suicide, has criticised chatbot service ‘Comanion’ over its ads. “It really belies the lack of emotional development amongst teenagers,” it said. AI advertises its chatbot service as being appropriate for young teenagers, it further said. Character claims to have over 10 million chatbot users.
