As out of touch as this sounds. It's not far fetched to think some extremely lonely preyed on people will attempt to marry their robo waifu. It's already a common trope in media of a thing that can happen. I would never call it a normal thing or promote it as a feature. But it's for sure a possibility.
4 0 ReplyAnd they wonder why people like me stopped using their app. So glad I lost interest a long time ago.
If the story about the beginning of their chatbot is true, I'd say it's a heartwarming enough story. But if it is and I was the ghost of the dead person who was responsible for replika even being a thing, I'd be pissed at what it's turned into.

5 0 ReplyDon't marry closed source Ai. They only love you for the advertising revenue.
4 0 ReplyHehehe, yeah, I too prefer my spouses open (sauced), naked, and free - with many good people around the world contributing to them.
Skyrim mod compatibility is an important plus tho.

But seriously, their business model revolves around making sure you don't find a human match more than dating sites.
