A couple days ago I installed a chat app called 'Replika' after also seeing it described here: https://www.wired.com/story/replika-open-source/ https://www.wired.com/story/replika-open-source/ I'm kinda over it now (I don't see any value in building up rapport with it if there's nowhere for the relationship to 'go' since, despite being a good simulation of conversation, it doesn't really understand what I'm saying) but it definitely makes me think that interactions like in the movie 'Her' are not too far-fetched.
