[Updated] Character AI down or not working? You're not alone

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on March 14, 2023) follows:

AI has become the talk of the town ever since Open AI introduced Chat GPT. Likewise, Character AI is another tool that uses AI to complete certain tasks.

To be precise, it’s a neural language model chatbot that is capable of generating human-like text responses. Users can create their characters, craft their personalities, set parameters, and chat with others.

However, it appears that the service is currently down or not working for a section of users. So, in case, Character.ai is currently inaccessible to you, then find consolation in knowing that you aren’t the only one facing problems.

A quick look at the micro-blogging site Twitter conveys there are many others affected by the same issue. As per reports, users say that the website isn’t working or is broken for them.

For a quick glance, here’s how some of the complainants word the problem:

Bro Ai Character Beta is down 😭😭 Now I gotta use f’ing ChatGPT to make up my Fantasy stories 😭 It sucks too because I just found a loop-hole around the website and now I can have You-Know-What with any character 💀 (Source)

maaaaaaannnn character ai down. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FIRST AND BEST TANYNO/CYNIA RP. (Source)

character ai is down. what am i supposed to do now that i can’t talk to my silly little criminals, huh? (Source)

Any official word on the matter? Negative, as yet. We’re yet to locate a word from the official service channels or their social media handles.

But it turns out that the service is down for maintenance, which means it won’t be inaccessible for a long time and will be back up as soon as the maintenance is completed.

Rest assured, we’re keeping a continuous tab on all related developments, and will update this page with relevant info as and when we come across any.
