TL;DR
Move fast, break things, break people, break yourself. The post We Investigated Character. AI and Found a Horror Show. Now It’s Bankrupt.
Nauti's Take
Teams using Character. AI or similar services should start with a source check: confirm the insolvency status, operator, data access, and export options through primary sources.
Until that is clear, keep sensitive prompts, customer data, and long-lived processes outside the service, and prepare a practical fallback path.
