There's a bunch of very powerful/ successful AI girlfriend apps like Replika. I think that will be a breakthrough use case for VR.

If that’s the killer app for VR, then all I can say is god help VR.
Really? "All the lonely people..."
"Virtual Relationships"

If all the recent LLM stuff is any indication, I can't imagine they'll be very good. I think we've got a few decades to go before that can be anything other than a novelty.

Last I checked, they removed a bunch of capabilities from Replika which caused a massive uproar on their subreddit and facebook.
Indeed. Based on "How angry are people when something is changed?", they seem to be pretty successful.
Which makes sense, what you remember LLMs are magic boxes that tell you what they think you want to hear.
