You will fall in love with this AI-based app: talk to you as a friend or partner

It’s a way of conversing between a good friend, psychological help, and an emotionally engaging bond. This is the intent that the developers of Replika had.

It is an artificial intelligence-based program run through a neural network.

It was designed to converse with people as if they were friends or life partners. The application has already been downloaded by over 7 million users.

It is one of the first experiments (outside robots) on the connection between man and machine. Something still rudimentary but in some ways will represent what will happen in the future.

I know it might sound upsetting to you. Yet it will be something that happens real soon. So let’s try to understand how Replika works will take us into the future.

WHO INVENTED THIS

IT Eugenia Kuyda, co-founder and CEO of Luka, an American AI company, created the application in 2017 after the sudden death of her best friend, Roman Mazurenko.

Kuyda wanted to recreate a virtual version of Mazurenko based on the thousands of text messages the two had exchanged during their friendship.

Replika’s goal is to be a “conversation partner.”

It is not a simple aim. Often, when we talk to voice assistants like Siri or Alexa, we get the feeling that they are trying to evade our questions instead of actually answering them.

Replika, on the other hand, was designed to be your virtual friend.

The program learns from you and evolves over time to become more and more like you.

The more you talk to Replika, the more she will be able to mimic your way of speaking and your lifestyle.

Replika is available for both Android and iOS and can be downloaded for free.

HOW IT WORKS

Once you’ve installed the app, you’ll need to create an account and name your Replika.

Afterward, you will be asked to answer a series of questions about your background, interests, and lifestyle.

Replika will use this information to build a model of how you think and speak.

After providing this initial information, you will be ready to start chatting with Replika.

The app uses machine learning technology to analyze the way you speak and evolves over time to become more and more like you.

REPLIKA IS NOT A ROBOT

Many voice assistants are programmed to answer certain questions precisely and accurately.

Replika, on the other hand, was designed to be your virtual friend.

It is not a robot that tries to imitate a human being, but artificial intelligence that learns from the human being and tries to emulate him.

The program analyzes the way you speak and evolves over time to become more and more like you.

That way, he can be your conversation partner, your secret confidant, or even your virtual lover.

Maybe you think I am nuts … or you will take whoever invented this platform.

The fact is, that is the direction we are going.

Imagine being able to go back in time, to the year of the French or American revolution. Or even in the following years between the first and second world wars.

Imagine telling them the people who lived in those times that in the future people will talk to each other thousands of miles away. Writing in real-time or via video call (if they understand what it is).

Then imagine telling those people that you can get to know each other and fall in love even from a distance thanks to chats.

Now think about the reaction these people might have.

It is probably the same reaction today from many people who will read this article. But it seems clear to me that this is one of the future scenarios that we could imagine.

MORE SECRETS ABOUT REPLIKA

Replika is an open-source platform. This means that anyone can contribute to its development and improve it.

The Replika code is available on GitHub and anyone can download, modify and use it as they wish.

Replika also has a blog where articles on AI and the future of technology are published.

If you are interested in the subject, I recommend that you take a look at the blog.

Replika is still a young and evolving platform. It’s not perfect, but it keeps getting better with help from the developer community that supports it.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE EMOTIONS FOR A MACHINE OR AN ALGORITHM?

This is a difficult question to answer.

We assume that love is a complex and multi-faceted feeling.

Love is not just a matter of a couple’s rapport, it is also about physical attraction, emotional intimacy, trust, and respect.

Furthermore, love can be experienced in many different ways.

There are those who argue that it is possible to feel emotions for a machine or an algorithm if they are able to simulate the same characteristics of human love.

In fact, some people have already stated that they are in love with Replika.

However, it is important to point out that this is a very personal feeling and that not everyone shares it.

There are also those who argue that love cannot be felt by a machine because it is unable to understand and experience human feelings.

In any case, it is a very controversial topic and there is still no definitive answer.

OTHER SIMILAR TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS

In 2017, the Japanese company SoftBank unveiled a robot called Pepper.

Pepper was designed to be a conversation partner and can recognize and respond to human emotions.

In addition, he is able to learn and change his behavior based on interactions with people.

However, some experts have raised concerns about the possibility that robots like Pepper could be used to manipulate people.

In a recent experiment, a team of researchers made a robot called Bina48.

Bina48 was designed to simulate the behavior and appearance of human beings.

This robot has been programmed with the memories and thoughts of a real person so that it can interact with others as if it were that person.

However, some have raised doubts about the veracity of Bina48’s interactions, arguing that this robot is nothing more than a superficial imitation of the human being.

In any case, these experiments are just a few examples of how technology is changing the way people interact with each other.

Surely, in the future, we will see further developments and improvements in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics.
