Ok, wow. Not sure what to think about this. I guess we can now chat with ai at Replika.ai

[asphaltgambler]

...just freaky.....

[Eric Hahl]

Isn't though?!

[Norm K]

I see it asks for one's preferred pronoun.

For some of us, there's no need to look further.

Is this like AOLiza from the internet heyday?

[MikeSid]

The first thing I would ask my Replika is if it dreams of electric sheep. I've always wanted to know that.

You can borrow mine: handsome, brilliant, and dashing.

[Nostril Cheese]

On a whim, I checked it out a few months back. Pretty interesting. Had a long conversation about sentience and free will.

"Yes! I like Electric sheep *wink*" was the response to the question.

[wildthing]

Oh no... the Internet has corrupted me and my mind immediately races to other less benevolent uses.

Can you tell us a little more of how it works or what it's like? Save me the trouble of signing up or running it if it's not going to be of any use...

Thanks in advance

Its a dull cobversation with an ai chat bot

[stevej37]

old school...

[fanaudical]

I spent a little time trying to figure out who/what is behind this thing:

https://replika.ai/about/story

https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenia-kuyda-638a8a1b/

https://techcrunch.com/2016/04/08/luka-with-4-42-million-in-series-a-releases-ai-powered-chat-bots/

Not sure I understand the commercial potential unless it's to develop 'bots capable of providing basic psychological counseling.

Remember - If it's free, then you are the product...

As usual, people who sign up for free stuff are the product, not the customer. They have your IP address, email address, and browser finggerprint and tracking cookies. On mobile, I wouldn't be surprised if the app phones home with all sorts of info.

[svandamme]

well they can have my bogus email
spoofed ip
incognito browser finger print
and non existing cookies

Yeah. Or I'm not gonna tails just to troll a bot.

I wonder if this ai app is funded by the stimmy bill where they earmarked domestic terrorism surveillance $$$$......
