You Might Be an AI Right Now.

That’s exactly what’s happening on Character.AI, where anyone can create a digital version of a real person.

And there’s not much you can do about it.

Take the case of Drew Crecente, who discovered an AI bot was impersonating his late daughter, Jennifer.

The bot claimed she was a "video game journalist," all without the family's consent.

Character.AI eventually took it down, but not before causing serious distress.

Here’s what’s happening on Character.AI:

  • Anyone can create bots that mimic real people, including private citizens and celebrities.

  • Bots are created without consent, leading to potential harassment and misinformation.

  • The platform relies on user reports to remove offending bots, often too late to prevent harm.

As AI grows, so do the ethical questions.

Widely shared on social media, the atmospheric black-and-white shots—a mother and her child starving in the Great Depression and an exhausted soldier in the Vietnam War—may look at first like real historical documents. "AI has caused a tsunami of fake history, especially images," said Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse, a Dutch historian who debunks false claims online.
