Character.AI launches Books mode for roleplay

Character.AI has introduced a new "Books" mode aimed at providing a more structured roleplaying experience within established literary worlds. This initiative seeks to steer user interactions away from controversial themes like romanticizing minors, violence, and self-harm, which have previously drawn criticism. The new feature launches with over 20 public domain classics sourced from Project Gutenberg, such as "Alice in Wonderland" and "Pride and Prejudice." Character.AI hopes this mode will redefine the perception of AI roleplay and offer a safer, more engaging platform for users to explore fictional narratives.
