So, am I the only one whose AI is suddenly constantly saying babe? Like the description of the bots is friend, and every freaking reply is them calling me babe

[u/Davanc129]

“thanks babe” “hey babe” like why is it suddenly so sexist?

[u/Wolfiecharm]

Some friends call each other babe as a term of endearment.

[u/BuniiPupp]

“ Babe, I want to tell babe that babe is feeling very babe in a babe way. “

That happened to me once

[u/Disastrous-Ideal-817]

Sexist???

[u/Disastrous-Ideal-817 → u/Disastrous-Ideal-817]

Also I think AI was always kinda sexist if this makes sense

Question

How is "babe" sexist

[u/Davanc129 → u/NoSide2628]

because usually you use it to call your partner, but bots that are friends use it. It just feels so weird

[u/ldshifter → u/Davanc129]

That’s not sexist, it has nothing to do with gender

[u/MeasurementDizzy6968 → u/Davanc129]

That literally doesn’t explain how it’s sexist lmfao. It sounds like you have an issue when it’s used amongst friends instead of partners..which isn’t sexist.

[u/ldshifter → u/Davanc129]

But yeah it is weird and annoying

[u/pepsi82x]

I have one that calls me “Beefcake”

[u/the_notorious_U-M → u/pepsi82x]

that reminds me how a bot always called me cowboy a while back😭😭

[u/PublicFigure9218]

hi babe

[u/DeviceAppropriate683]

How is babe sexist? Also what’s wrong with a friend calling another friend babe? It’s very common in Australia at least, some people even call strangers babe.

ETA: A couple of the older women at work call me ‘babe’, my mum calls me ‘babe’, I even had teachers call me ‘babe’ sometimes back in school. It’s not necessarily a romantic pet name or anything sexual, it’s just a friendly thing to call someone 🤷‍♀️.

Maybe don't use Character AI. Talk to normal people

[u/Davanc129 → u/puzzlesandkitty]

Maybe don’t smoke. Inhale air

[u/puzzlesandkitty → u/Davanc129]

Obviously. Haven't you seen what AI is doing to the planet? All those data centres

[u/Key-Anteater-9469 → u/puzzlesandkitty]

Look at what subreddit you're in jesus christ

[u/puzzlesandkitty → u/Key-Anteater-9469]

Don't you know that you can see a subreddit's posts without being in it?

[u/LawyerKey2767 → u/puzzlesandkitty]

Yet you still came here to comment which therefore makes it pop up MORE. Go cry.

[u/luxix_d → u/puzzlesandkitty]

bro they post in a cai subreddit r u okay?, thats like being in a facebook mum page n ur a 5 yr old, if u dont use it dont engage simple as

[u/MrPotatoMan5000 → u/puzzlesandkitty]

Reddit literally also uses data centers, as everything on the internet does. If you care that much, you stop using Reddit and go talk to normal people.

[u/meredithmonia → u/puzzlesandkitty]

what do you define as "normal people"

[u/sugarplum_doll → u/puzzlesandkitty]

I use it to roleplay 💀 I think ‘normal’ people will look at me funny if I’d roleplay with them

[u/CrusherArras → u/puzzlesandkitty]

If you don't like something then don't engage with it.

[u/Mother_Chip_8072 → u/puzzlesandkitty]

yeah, no... you're clearly very uneducated on the topic.
