The whole article’s a great read, but here’s a fun excerpt=
To be perfectly blunt, AI girlfriends are not your friends. Although they are marketed as something that will enhance your mental health and well-being, they specialize in delivering dependency, loneliness, and toxicity, all while prying as much data as possible from you.” --Misha Rykov, Researcher @ *Privacy Not Included

First day on the internet?
I’m wondering the same, the people thinking about what they share are a small minority.
This was always the case when it finally got mainstream and it only got worse from there.
I recently went on instagram and Facebook, holy moly do people share a lot. Who the hell cares where you’ve been or had for breakfast
Replika was made with that in mind.
There’s a recent video essay exploring some of the relationship issues with this, and the privacy ones too… The Mozilla article, at first glance, looks at least a little inspired by the Vivek.
