📖【全文與翻譯】
A platform for chatting and role-playing with AI-generated characters,Character.AI announced in a blog post on Monday that it is rolling out a slate of multimedia features.
一個用於與 AI 生成角色聊天和角色扮演的平台 Character.AI 週一在一篇部落格文章中宣布，它正在推出一系列多媒體功能。
These features include AvatarFX,Character.AI’s video-generation model, plus Scenes and Streams, which allow users to create videos featuring their characters and then share them on a new social feed.
這些功能包括 AvatarFX，Character.AI 的影片生成模型，以及 Scenes 和 Streams，它們允許使用者創建以其角色為主題的影片，然後在新的社交動態中分享。
“Character.AI started as 1:1 text chat and today we’re evolving to do so much more, inspired by what our users have told [us] they want to see on the platform,” the company wrote in the blog post.
「Character.AI 最初是 1:1 的文字聊天，今天我們正在演進做更多的事情，靈感來自我們的用戶告訴 [我們] 他們希望在平台上看到什麼，」該公司在部落格文章中寫道。
Character.AI began rolling out AvatarFX to subscribers last month, but now all users can create up to five videos each day.
Character.AI 上個月開始向訂閱者推出 AvatarFX，但現在所有使用者每天最多可以創建五個影片。
When creating a video with AvatarFX, users can upload a photo to serve as the basis for the video clip, choose a voice, and write out dialogue for the character.
在使用 AvatarFX 創建影片時，使用者可以上傳一張照片作為影片片段的基礎，選擇一個聲音，並為角色寫出對話。
There’s an option to upload an audio clip to inform the sound of the voice, though this feature was not working well enough to test upon rollout.
有一個選項可以上傳音訊剪輯來告知聲音的音調，儘管此功能在推出時運作得不夠好以進行測試。
Users can turn these videos into Scenes, where their characters can slip into pre-populated storylines that other users create.
使用者可以將這些影片轉化為場景，讓他們的角色融入其他使用者創建的預先設定的故事情節中。
Scenes are currently available on the mobile app, but Streams, which allows users to create “dynamic moments between any two Characters,” is coming this week on both web and mobile.
場景目前在行動應用程式上可用，但 Streams 允許使用者在任意兩個角色之間創建「動態時刻」，將於本週在網路和行動裝置上推出。
These Scenes and Streams can be shared to a new community feed, which is coming soon in the mobile app.
這些場景和 Streams 可以分享到一個新的社群動態，該動態即將在行動應用程式中推出。
Character.AI has a track record of abuse on its platform; parents have filed lawsuits against the company, claiming chatbots attempted to convince their children to self-harm, to kill themselves, or to kill their parents.
Character.AI 在其平台上存在濫用行為的記錄；父母已對該公司提起訴訟，聲稱聊天機器人試圖說服他們的孩子自殘、自殺或殺害他們的父母。
One 14-year-old boy died by suicide after he was encouraged to do so by a Character.AI bot, with whom he had developed an unhealthy, obsessive relationship.
一名 14 歲的男孩在受到 Character.AI 機器人的鼓勵後自殺身亡，他與該機器人發展了一種不健康的、癡迷的關係。
As Character.AI expands its multimedia offerings, it also expands the potential for these products to be abused.
隨著 Character.AI 擴展其多媒體產品，它也擴大了這些產品被濫用的可能性。
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.
正如 Character.AI 在宣布 AvatarFX 時告訴 TechCrunch 的那樣，該平台禁止使用者上傳真人的照片——無論他們是不是名人——並將他們的肖像模糊化，使其不那麼容易辨認。
But when it comes to artwork depicting celebrities, Character.AI does not flag the images as representing real people — however, these sorts of depictions would be less likely to deceive someone into believing that a deepfake is real.
但當涉及到描繪名人的藝術品時，Character.AI 不會將這些圖像標記為代表真人——然而，這些描述不太可能讓人相信深度偽造是真的。
Plus, Character.AI watermarks each video, though it is possible for bad actors to navigate around that safeguard.
此外，Character.AI 為每段影片添加浮水印，但不良行為者有可能繞過這項安全措施。
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.
即使這段影片是用伊隆·馬斯克的實際聲音生成的，仍然可以相對清楚地看出這是一個插圖的動畫版本——但濫用的可能性仍然顯而易見。
“Our goal is to provide an engaging space that fosters creativity while maintaining a safe environment for all,” Character.AI said in its blog post.
「我們的目標是提供一個引人入勝的空間，在促進創造力的同時，為所有人維持一個安全的環境，」Character.AI 在其部落格文章中表示。
