Okay so It's going to sound really stupid, but I was kind of addicted to character AI? Like not fully addicted addicted, but it was well in my daily schedule about 2 hours a day, well maybe more sometimes.
If you think about what you can do with 2 to 3 hours A DAY, it means you can basically watch a movie every single day or finish a book a week instead of chatting with a robot. For me, it was just routine to shut my brain off, but it was quite unhealthy and lazy.
Character ai is nothing but a farm to train ai too so you can't really say "ugh i hate ai" and then make the exception for character ai. I'd tell you to give it some thought, maybe you're stressing because you've got "no time for homework" and then you have 3 hours on c.ai daily then thats a good reason to quit for example.
If you are going to quit you'd probably need to fill in the gap of where it used to be in your schedule with something. Personally i'd recommend writing your own fanfic or story with whatever character you chatted with or read fanfictions other people wrote instead. Its similar enough to character ai, without the ai and its actually good for your brain. Then later when the c.ai is out of your routine you can just fill that time with whatever.
After quitting its basically made my mind a lot more peaceful and i'll just go to bed instead of just laying there staring at my phone with an ai of a fictional character.

As someone who is an avid unethical AI hater, I’m very proud of everyone trying to quit. Don’t let people make you feel bad, this is an addiction and recognizing that definitely helps you get on that path to balancing out your brain sooner. Y’all are some real MF champions for doing what half of the world can’t ⭐️💗⭐️

Being real honest, I wasn't addicted to C.ai but I was addicted to another AI roleplay site that was like it. I still feel embarrassed about feeling the withdrawals after quitting that site for good. Something about it really messes with your brain, even if you don't want to really admit it.
An AI that just generates what it thinks you want will never be the same thing as roleplaying with an actual human being. I'm much happier without it.
bro fr fr since i quit its just like a lot more peacefull ig? now i can just go to bed on a decent time and all

c.ai is boring as hell, it makes reading college modules feel like reading Captain Underpants
also the bots ppl make there are basic ass shadow daddies from Wattpad, so predictable

Proud of you stranger!!! <333
Also, I wanted to share my thoughts on c.ai. So basically I am a fanfiction writer myself and I remember once I tried c.ai before the whole ai is bad thing blew up and honestly?? I didn't know what to do :/ maybe it was because I tried to chat with my OCs and I knew that they wouldn't behave that way so it was just frustrating for me, and not an enjoyable experience lol
Thank you!!
its very embarassing but true
It took me like a little to figure out but you can edit all the messages too so basically make it do whatever, i just liked playing out the most CRINGE ASS ANGT SCENES with this father figure character

yipppiee, good for you!! :3
i think maybe a year ago (?) idk, i was addicted to C.ai, but i got so frustrated with myself because i could see how it was ruining my life, so one time when i was having a massive freak out i just deleted my account. So i kinda quit it cold-turkey, which, tbh I wouldn't recommend, your idea of filling the time with something to do is rlly good.
I remember after i 'quit' i realllyy wanted to go back on, so i did make other accounts, but i only every used them for maybe a day before deleting them just bc i was scared of getting rlly bad again.
I'm good now tho, so we can all yippie :]
Thank you!! I don't think i'll really go back to c.ai just because the last few months when i was on it i got distracted very easily too, like it was too boring to do half the time anyways
looking back on it i'm just kinda really surprised its so addictive as i've ofc looked into other people who quit or wanted to quit and almost everyone said that was because they were addicted. Like i've tried smoking and stuff but i honestly think c.ai is more addictive then that to be completely honest
