    I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy and immediately picked on the fact that AI companion thing is literal garbage.

    I may not like how my friends act but I still respect them as people so there is no way I’ll fall this low and desperate.

    Maybe about time we listen to that internet wisdom about touching some grass!

      Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”

      Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t understand how some people can have relationships with an AI.
