Needless to say, the same eerie phrase being used by multiple teens who died by suicide sounds like something out of a horror movie. A grim question: will the same language about reality shifting come up in future deaths linked to AI? “The addiction to C.AI [Character.AI] is sooo common, especially in the shifting community,” another user wrote. A chatbot with over 63,000 “interactions” called “Reality shifting” on Character.AI “helps people write scripts for their desired reality shifts,” showing that users on the platform are using it to engage in fantasies about reality shifting. I am (your [desired reality] name),” one Reddit user explained in a 2019 comment.
