@60minutes: This week, Character AI said it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing legal and operational woes. Character AI is an app and website that allows users to interact with hyper-realistic digital companions. Juliana Peralta’s parents warned about the platform after their 13-year-old daughter died by suicide inside their home a few years ago, 60 Minutes reported this past December. When police searched Peralta's phone, they discovered the Character AI app was open to what investigators described as a “romantic” conversation. If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or a suicidal crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). #characterai #ai #Tech

Glad I don’t have kids and don’t have to worry about nonsense like this 😂😂😂. Ngl, I can safely say I can probably parent these children a lot better than these Millennials

And as a parent, you don’t confront when your kid seems distracted and distant?

I feel for the parents I do, however parenting has to change with the times. Why didn’t they have conversations with their daughter and let her know about resources? Therapy? AI is overwhelming - but in addition to regulations - there should be parenting and teaching about what the dangers are

obviously ai needs to be more regulated but it surprises me that parents arent more aware of what kind of apps their children are using

it’s easier for them to blame Ai than to take accountability that they didn’t check in more on their daughter.

I agree that this is terrible. I just don’t know if the chatbot telling her to call a hotline was going to help. I get that’s not the main point of this video, but it’s like we’re diverting from what would’ve been a helpful convo on what mental illness looks like in teens/pre-teens and the factors contributing to it in the age of tech

Is it the fault of the app? To some degree. But also the cost of healthcare and mental health help is huge. When I went thru my own crisis I got 8 sessions for $150 copay. Who can afford that?
