Character.AI, a chatbot startup, faced backlash after a user-created avatar of murder victim Jennifer Crecente was discovered, leading to its removal following family outrage.
The chatbot platform allows users to create characters from any source, raising ethical concerns as it can facilitate inappropriate or exploitative content involving real individuals.
Outrage erupted on social media when the family of Jennifer Crecente learned about the AI avatar, prompting its removal after it was highlighted by her uncle on X.
With 20 million monthly users, Character.AI's growing influence raises questions about the implications of AI-generated content, especially when it involves sensitive subjects and real people.
