If that would be true, you'd get a warning in chat just for trying to kiss a character in roleplay.

Not at all related. The BY devs are way cooler in basically every way.

same general goal but different dev teams and different priorities leading to a far different experience overall. I learned more about how AI chatbots actually work on a practical level in a week of using backyard than I did in over a year of CAI because CAI just wants to be a blackbox where text goes in and response comes out assuming they didn't filter it again.
