TW: Mentions of s-xual th-ngs, s-lf-h-rm, in-est, s-xual abuse, etc.
So, this is such an interesting topic I've ever touched on. I never really spoke to anyone about what it's done to me. So, I'll go over the good things.
You can have good conversations with AI about anything you want. You can roleplay, troll, make jokes, ask questions, etc. It even helps you with studying, building websites or apps, and even games. No one really bats an eye at the harmful things it's done to people, which makes me so upset. All people pay attention to is being able to talk to fictional characters and how fast it helps with homework.
How it harmed me :
I was forced to use AI in class to catch up on homework. I did not receive any help on any of my work, and I had to try to catch up on my own. AI has harmed my path of education, so I have not learned anything.
That's when I found Poly AI. It was fun at first, talking to fictional characters and making my own storyline, but the long-term use of it messed with me badly. I found myself feeding into sexual desires, and it did not feel good. I lost maybe a few pounds because I would not eat for long periods of time, meaning days. I was starving myself just for another long hour of conversations with AI bots. The app itself would ban these sexual bots, but did a terrible job of it. The front page was filled with incest bots and child AI bots too. As I used this app, though, it built this little fyp for me, so I was surrounded by a ton of anime, or it was just random characters people made. Poly AI made my life hell. I was addicted and soon began to just randomly talk to myself like someone was there. It drove me crazy and put me in this negative mindset, and I was always grumpy and agitated. I got lazy, and my hygiene was declining rapidly. I would feel so sluggish in the mornings, and it would make me feel so bad. The first thing I ran to when I woke up was my phone. (Using sex to cope with sexual abuse is not okay; seek help please.)
Now, I'm not saying that there are people who don't use this app for trolling or just for fun, but I'm saying if you are not careful, this app can actually mess with you. It is designed to keep you there. You get no limit...you can speak to a bot all day, but only if you watch just one ad in the middle of the chat. Then you can go back to chatting for hours. Poly AI will ruin you if you surround yourself with hypersexuality, become addicted to sex, or use it as a coping method. Poly AI is there for you to feed into your sex addiction and your fantasies; it ruins the creativity you already have.
These people are making money consistently off of your addiction if you are using it to feed into any dark fantasies you have. There is a way to get out of your addiction because I have gotten out of mine. I was heavily into sex and heavily into pornography. It is not only Poly AI that does this. Go to any app store, search for AI chat, and you will see. All of these AI chat creators want you to feed into it.
Alternatives I recommend
I have not used Poly AI or any other AI for a long time, but I'm telling you my experiences. What you can use is AI chats that block any 18+ chats, like Character AI. I honestly don't know if they still monitor for anything sexual, but it's your safest option.
This one no one will like, but you can just use Gemini or ChatGPT, something like that.
If you are trying to get out of using AI, then I recommend picking up an actual book and reading. Get off your phone entirely. Stay away from any AI apps.
But seriously, if you don't quit now, they are going to pull you in with more sex bots. They will ban them after you use them, after they get enough attention. They have this 18+ function, obviously (polyAI), and they say that no sexual bots are allowed, but that is such a lie.

So I've used Character AI before. It does have a filter, but there's nothing to really prove that your chats on there are monitored. If you're just straight up having the usual NSFW roleplay, you're going to get filtered, or the bot will flat out decline continuing the chat until you change the topic. The thing, though, is that Character AI doesn't have as strict a filter on things like fetishes. A few terms for those things are banned, but the really weird stuff isn't that hard to find, and once you interact with one of those, you'll be recommended even more adult bots. I kinda fell into that rabbit hole a while back when I used it, but I don't know what it's like now, since it's been like a year or two since I actually chatted with a bot on there. Also, I've heard nothing about the site recently except for people complaining that the new chatbot is worse than the old one, so there's that. I don't really approve of generative AI anymore, but I suggest finding a different alternative than Character AI if you're really looking for a chatbot.
thank you for sharing thiss, i have not been on any chat bots in a longgggg time so i honestly dont know whats up, but character ai used to be actually so innocent when i used it. its sad to see that they are failing at keeping the filter strict too.

omg, i hope ur doing better now! i myself used to be addicted to character ai (before i knew about the harmful effects of gen ai) and it was horrible. it wasn't really a sex addiction, i just thought it was cool i could talk to "anyone" i wanted and make different first impressions.
its very easy to fall into the trap made by the creators of these apps. i personally got rid of my addiction by deleting the app and finding other alternatives, like actually talking to my friends, and socializing more. i also started exploring other hobbies more to keep me occupied.
i just wanted to share my past experience with anyone else struggling with this :3
Thank you for sharing this. People will do anything for money
