What to do Regarding AI Chatbots
5 months ago
A couple of months ago, I discovered that a few of my friends had their OC's stolen and placed on AI Roleplay chatbot sites such as www.character.ai and www.caveduck.io. Upon discovering these, I was sure to message all those who I could find on the site and give help to see if they could be removed. I am unsure how much this has helped, especially given that there were less than ten examples I could find at the time between both sites, at least of direct character theft.
Unfortunately in the months following this, the problem seems to have worsened. As described by Jaybat on this post, one user on Character AI had copied the likeness of countless dozens of users for use as chatbots. While the account no longer exists on the site, either for being discovered or having been taken down due to DMCA requests, this is likely not the end of the issue, and this theft is likely to continue.
As per the terms of service on Character.AI, they claim to respect the intellectual property of others, and do accept DMCA notices on the site. While people are not able to file claims on behalf of others, if you find your character stolen on the site, please file a complaint on this page https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new. In the case that you find another person's character, please be sure to inform them as well. This would apply both to the specific character being stolen, as well as your art being used as a thumbnail for the chatbot, as is the case for many Pokemon characters across the site.
While Caveduck does not seem to have a similar option to file a DMCA request, there should still be an option to send a report through a google form on the bottom of the page featuring the character. Please be sure to spread the word so that more people are aware of this issue!
edit: It's come to my attention that sending the DMCA request may send your personal details to the offending party, and not just for personal verification for Character.AI. Please keep this in mind before sending a request, while continuing to ramp up social pressure against the site.

So what can you do about it?
