Chatbot platform Character.AI unveils video generation, social feeds


Character.AI is rolling out its AvatarFX tool, which allow users to create animated, customizable videos featuring their AI chat bots.

These features include AvatarFX, Character.AI’s video-generation model, plus Scenes and Streams, which allow users to use these AI tools to create videos using their characters and then share them on a new social feed. As Character.AI told TechCrunch when it announced AvatarFX, the platform blocks users from uploading photographs of real people — whether they’re celebrities or not — and obscures their likeness into something less recognizable. Even if this video had been generated with Elon Musk’s actual voice, it would still be relatively clear that this is an animated version of an illustration — but the possibility for abuse remains evident.
