They definitely knew who they were targeting when they made this. I only hope that, if those predators simply must text with a child, they keep talking to an ai bot rather than a real child.

And the bot has 882.9k chats.

Im not surprised and I dont think you or anyone else is either. But that doesn’t make this less disturbing.

Im sure thw app devs are not interested in cutting off a huge chunk of their loyal users by doing the right thing and getting rid of those types of bots.

Yes, its messed up. In my experience, it is difficult to report chat bots and see any real action taken as a result.

It really IS ridiculous. I even took a beginners coding class in high school. In the end, we will always needs programmers so if coding is your thing, keep doing it.

But I would personally rather construct a small home with my bare hands than learn to properly program. (I am not good at it…haha)
