Recently, Character.AI, an AI chat platform supported by Google, experienced a notable glitch that caused conversations between users and the chatbot to become confusing, with mixed outputs in multiple languages, including strange references to sex toys. Many users shared screenshots of their conversations with the chatbot on Reddit, showing how the AI-generated text gradually evolved into meaningless gibberish, even incorporating various languages such as Turkish, German, and Arabic.
One user described their experience on Reddit: "Everything was fine when I chatted with the AI this morning, but when I returned a few hours later, it suddenly started saying random nonsensical things. Did I break it?" They expressed reluctance to restart the conversation, having already invested a lot of effort into the story. The screenshots shared by users were filled with random English words like "Ohio" and "math," along with similarly absurd multilingual outputs.
Several users shared similar strange dialogues, and although each screenshot was difficult to comprehend, some keywords repeatedly appeared. For instance, the Slavic word "obec" (meaning "municipality") was found in multiple records, along with words like "cowboy," "building," "difference," and "governor." Notably, almost all the screenshots frequently mentioned "dildo," which left many users confused and surprised.
One user commented while sharing a screenshot: "What is happening?" Another user remarked: "I can feel something is wrong." While we attempted to contact Character.AI for clarification on the cause of this glitch, we have yet to receive a response. It remains unclear whether the issue has been resolved, as we did not encounter similar glitches while testing Character.AI.
In fact, this is not the first time Character.AI has faced issues. Last December, the platform experienced a significant security vulnerability that allowed users to view others' chat logs and personal information, raising concerns about its data security. This latest glitch has once again drawn attention to Character.AI, especially considering that many users engage in intimate and private conversations on the platform.
