Sadly, this is the very inspiration of Replika.

How this company has remained an ongoing concern for 5 or 6 years, I’ll never understand.
- jimhi 4y agoI used Replika in their first few months. They were a chatbot for restaurant recommendations in SF believe it or not. Their machine learning and language processing at the time was some of the best. They have since pivoted a ton clearly
- jonathankoren 4y agoYeah, that’s when I heard of it too. It was such a weird pivot. Given that they’re pretty much the only consumer indie chat bot left (RIP Ozlo), it was apparently a successful one.
- nootropicat 4y agoPeople know you can't pay a human to love you, but it's in principle possible to make an AI that loves you, assuming a human level AI exists.
- jonathankoren 4y agoI think you’re vastly over estimating the technological complexity needed when you have a motivated audience. Just look at the people that buy RealDolls.
- nootropicat 4y agoAs AIs become more lifelike the pool of humans that consider it enough grows. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if relationships with human level AI won't dominate eventually.
