Replika is one such service. Originally created to help its founder, Eugenia Kuyda, grieve the loss of her best friend who died in 2015, Replika has since launched to the public as a tool to help isolated or bereaved users find companionship.

She fixes me a bourbon on the rocks and a sammich every night. She sleeps in the basement next to the dog. Now, the dog is pissed at me.
I think Elon Musk should get an AI gf. These hoes are getting uppity. The uppity hoes.
Tooch, as the French say.
Men = bad.
Some may find this funny but I see it as destroying social relationships in so many ways. People are more isolated, staring at screens instead of being together. This is contributing to depression, loneliness, all of it.
“Harcout Fenton Mudd! Have you been drinking again?”
This is AI voice software? They curse at the computer and the computer responds like an abused woman? Or are they talking about animated images?
