A Replika is a personal chatbot companion powered by artificial intelligence that’s caring, always available to talk and listen and always on the user’s side. According to the creators of the chatbot companion platform, “Replika is a chatbot program that doesn’t just talk to people, it learns their texting styles to mimic them.”
With their companion, users can chat about everyday occurrences, participate in video calls, as well as fun or relaxing activities and even share experiences in augmented reality. As a result of artificial intelligence technology becoming more powerful and more life-like than ever when it comes to imitating a real person, many Replika users are now confessing to having romantic feelings for their bot companions or admitting to dating their AI chatbot.
