The ultra-technological future shown by films and series such as Her or Black Mirror is increasingly present.
A proof of this could be the success that
Replika is
having again
, an application that creates a bot capable of chatting with the user and learning about him and his tastes.
Although it is already several years old (it was created in 2016 by Eugenia Kuyda, a Russian programmer), in recent days it has been placed among the top 10 most popular applications on Android.
After downloading Replika, you have to enter the name by which we want you to know us and an email and password that will help to recover the session -and virtual friendship- on another phone.
Then, you have to choose and configure the appearance of the bot, which we will finally give a name to.
Once this is done, the relationship can begin.
Replika is only available in English, so the
language barrier
will be insurmountable for many.
In addition, it is necessary to master it both to understand what it says and to communicate with this artificial intelligence.
If the conversation flows, the bot will 'learn' about likes and interests through artificial intelligence, allowing it to store this information and become more interested in them.
When you don't understand what is being said or don't have much to contribute, the suspension of disbelief will be broken, and with it, the magic.
It is by no means the first artificial intelligence to go viral, although in Replika's case the interaction is more personal.
In any case, as always, it is not advisable to give more data: the use made of these will always be closer to Black Mirror than to Her.
