Replika AI

Replika AI is an artificial intelligence chatbot that's designed to become a user's friend and even replicate them after they die so that loved ones can still "chat" with them. It was founded in early 2017 by a Russian-American programmer and it's run on a mobile application on Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR). Since its launch date in March 2017, Replika has been referenced in memes and videos on YouTube and TikTok where creators upload reactions and screen-record their intimate Replika conversations with the bot.

The loneliness epidemic and its consequences have been disastrous for the human race. We've despaired the issue to the point that we no longer seek to meaningfully resolve it, and we are endlessly assailed by opportunistic vultures seeking to sell us the most pitiful surrogates.

I don't really buy into many of the Hollywood-inspired sensationalist scenarios of a piece of technology causing huge disaster, but with this one its really hard not to see it going really badly, especially when you get a depiction like the film Her where its done so convincingly, and starts from a place of people thinking that dating a computer simulation is weird and something you wouldn't others to know about you (like people do in real life), and then gradually becoming a thing that is normalised.

Maybe that never happens, and even if it's somewhat popular it stays as a weird niche thing rather than something mainstream and socially acceptable, but it's easy to at least picture a world in which it becomes more widespread. Young people are having an increasingly difficult time forming actual relationships, and even for people who do have them, they can be exhausting because you're dealing with a real person who has their own goals and flaws and who you will inevitably have arguments with, instead of just your own Marylin Monrobot who will always tell you you're amazing and do what you want, so people can choose to just check out on those and do this instead.
