I've heard vague info/rumors about this Replika thing. I just went over to that reddit link above and read a few posts there... wow, that's wild! Reads like SciFi. Had no idea people had gotten so emotionally attached to an AI already. Damn, reading those posts over there is pretty scary. It's like we need some kind of come to Jesus moment as a society and sit everyone down for a talk about where this is going and how to avoid getting too caught up in this stuff. I really don't think we're ready for this as we thought it was really still decades away and we had more time to prep.
