Project Details
Description
In recent years, more and more people turn to social artificial intelligence to create their ideal partner. Replika is a popular app with which you can design a virtual companion that looks exactly the way you like, remembers the things you say and uses this information to respond ever more accurately to your wishes and desires. For this study, we interview Replika users to examine how they relate to their virtual partner and how their experiences challenge conventional views of meaningful interpersonal relations.
