🤖 As AI technology continues to advance, chatbots are becoming more effective, detailed and human-like in their responses. But will they ever be advanced enough to become effective therapists? 💬 Computer programmer Eugenia Kuyda is the founder of Replika, a US chatbot app that offers users an "AI companion who cares, always here to listen and talk, always on your side". While the app primarily aims to be a friend or companion, it claims it can help benefit your mental health, such as by enabling users to "build better habits and reduce anxiety". Replika has over 2 million active users, ranging from autistic children to adults who are simply lonely and need a friend.
