Anyone have an AI friend?

[Huntn]

Kind of a game, kind of not, does anyone have an AI friend? If so I’d like to hear about it.
This seems to be a leading app, but it requires a subscription:

Replika is the AI Friend to Do Life With

Build a meaningful connection with Replika, your free AI friend for conversation, support, and exploring everyday life.

Wow. This looks like garbage lmao. It's straight up the Project Milo "tech demo" from the Microsoft Kinect only for cryptobros

Is the reference of “garbage” for the Milo tech demo from 2009 or for Replika? Please clarify. Regarding the Project Milo interaction I was impressed with that. Maybe I am behind the times regarding cutting edge. 🙂

The Replika app does look a bit cartoony, but I imagine a lot of weight is given to the quality of interaction. Check out this list, Anima looks better.

I had an imaginary friend when I was little.

That count?

Probably because the entire Milo demo was fake. The entire thing was scripted so Milo would respond and act precisely to the verbal commands the lady gave, so they could follow a script.

But hey what did you expect from Peter Molyneux? He had a history of deception during the Xbox 360 generation, from this, to lying about Fable 3's features.

We've had chatbots like these all the way back in 2011. Pewdiepie back when he was a fledgling Youtuber did joke videos about them all the time.
