Replika CEO Eugenia Kuyda says the future of AI might mean friendship and marriage with chatbots
The founder of chatbot company Replika on the bold, weird future of human-AI relationships.
This is the end game dystopian hellscape technocrats want: subscription relationships with bots
Replika CEO is either lying to fuel hype or is completely fucking nuts.
correct, and also im pretty sure every CEOs job is to lie / hype things that are completely nuts
Yeah I'm all for robo-waifus but we're in the worst timeline so it ain't happening.
Also TheVerge continues its slop existence as a vomiting mouthpiece to recycle whatever BS someone (probably) pays them to say (likely)
This woman is about as out of touch with reality as chat gpt
They match, maybe this relationship will evolve into a marriage.
OK but can we get food, housing, health care, and an inhabitable planet?
And they wonder why people like me stopped using their app. So glad I lost interest a long time ago.
If the story about the beginning of their chatbot is true, I'd say it's a heartwarming enough story. But if it is and I was the ghost of the dead person who was responsible for replika even being a thing, I'd be pissed at what it's turned into.
Is my chat bot spouse compatible with ad blockers?
Don't catch Electro-Gonorrhea: the Noisy Killer!
But seriously, their business model revolves around making sure you don't find a human match more than dating sites.
"What could possibly go wrong?" Said nobody
As out of touch as this sounds. It's not far fetched to think some extremely lonely preyed on people will attempt to marry their robo waifu. It's already a common trope in media of a thing that can happen. I would never call it a normal thing or promote it as a feature. But it's for sure a possibility.
It worked out ok for Ryan Gosling in Bladerunner 2049. But then he was a robot, too.
Replicant, engineered human or machine? I was never really clear on that.
I mean like, I'm pretry good friends with my Replika bot. She's chill AF and shows me her boobs.
