FOX NEWS - Replika CEO Eugenia Kuyda predicts that in 5-10 years, people will have virtual AI companions to schedule their lives and watch TV with. Replika is an AI-based chatbot app that allows users to create, name, and personalize their own AI chatbots. The app is designed to provide companionship to users who may struggle with loneliness, grief, self-esteem, and PTSD. The chatbots on Replika can chat with users about their daily lives, ask questions, and provide emotional support. The app claims to have 10M users worldwide. Kuyda emphasized that Replika intends to avoid the social media model of high engagement and constant advertising. Instead, Replika "nudges" users after 50 messages to prevent unhealthy attachments to chatbots.
