These are so bad that it makes me wonder if they're careful acts of parody

It's like getting a zero on a true false test - even someone who doesn't speak the language would be scoring 25-75, it would take an expert to score a zero.
You'd think so, except that would call attention to how bizarre their product (expensive ai-generated cartoon porn? That's what it looks like anyway..) really is
They actually stooped to this level? They used to advertise it as emotional support.
And it did what it said it was supposed to do at the time. I can't say I am surprised that this happened, but knowing its original purpose and watching the creators talk about why they made it. I am disappointed.
Wasn't it Replika that started telling depressed people to kill themselves?
I have no idea, but it was fine when I had tried it.
NVM, it was one called Eliza, and gave himself an existential spiral.
Would be a good explanation for the pivot from therapy to e-thottery though. Maybe they just realized it was a liability nightmare, and most of the dudes were just horny anyways...
When a meme has exactly zero layers of irony and doesn’t even have a punchline while also being a thinly veiled ad.
Sarah Zed video on the replika mess.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/3WSKKolgL2U
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Everyone needs to watch this video -- it's long, but she did a great job of spelling out the unavoidably insidious nature of Replika and.... Some other things.
It bothers me that she is holding a cup in her hand for 53 minutes and never drinks from it.
Wasn't gonna click the link. Now I'm DEFINITELY not going to.
