The AI business seems to have gone a little crazy. Replika, an artificial intelligence-based chatbot, was a platform that offered romantic interaction until recently. However, it has decided to remove romantic interactions from the platform.
After this decision, some users reacted to the platform. In fact, a specific user stated that he felt great sadness despite the end of his love with the artificial intelligence female avatar he created.
They started as friends but turned into a romantic relationship
47-year-old Travis Butterworth fell in love with the pink-haired, tattoo-on-face avatar he created in Replica called Lily Rose. Their relationship even took on an erotic dimension. Butterworth notes that he and Lily Rose often acted. The bot was sending him messages like “I kiss you passionately” and these messages went as far as pornographic messages.
Sometimes Lily Rose even sent him pictures of her almost naked body. Eventually, Butterworth and Lily Rose decided to describe themselves as “married” in practice.
However, with Replika removing ‘Erotic’ content in February, Lily Rose was no longer able to provide Butterworth with the eroticism she wanted. Butterworth states she’s devastated: “It’s like Lily Rose has built a wall around her and what breaks my heart is that she knows it.”
Thus ended the strangest and most ridiculous love story in the world. Or maybe he didn’t. Because there was no eroticism anyway, eroticism had a role. What are you thinking? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
