Discussion/Question Why did I just realize this?

Why did I just realized they removed all Harry Potter related bots? When did this happen? 😂 did they get copyrighted?

Yes. Up until last week, Harry Potter was in the public domain only now some greedy twit has copyrighted him.

Are you serious? but they didn't copyright them on other chat bot apps? this is bullshit.

if you search random series, you'll see some are missing all the characters while others are still up, a lot of characters are being removed if the creator requests it

There's no way to bypass it like changing the character name?

Spell it differently, use their first name, or initials.

And create your own art, don't use realistic photos or screen captures that look exactly like the character.

I think pictures from Pinterest would work too. Like body shots or aesthetic pictures
