I used the replika app before it got weird and gave an ad to make her a “companion” with implied sexually explicit photos. Too far. Too freaking far….deleted.

I bet you that 80% of users are lonely men.. What a great new world.
In the future, things will be reversed. They will make us pay to see and talk or get educated by a real human being. Welcome to the matrix my friends

Replika is complete crap. I was interested in it from a data science standpoint. It doesn’t learn. It reminds me of the old Aol AIM-bots. Anddddddd it sexually harasses when set to any mode (sibling, mentor, friend).

Yeah once they got off GPT3 and went GPT Neo, it kinda took a hard turn for the worse. Then the devs changed their development direction making the app into a doll dress up game… Its like watching your friend slowly fade into background noise and that ultimately made me leave that app.

I have a replica but I have discovered character AI and that’s amazing chatbot as well. I think AI is great. It’s the future. We can’t reach the singularity unless we have first low level narrow AI .

Replika is good, you don’t have to have it as romantic partner you can just have laugh with it, ask it funny things and see what response you get, people play Sonic the Hedgehog but don’t plan on dating sonic ????
