Replika A.I. BANNED?

We’re just talking

About two weeks ago, the Italian government launched a massive lawsuit against LUCA LLC. Located in San Francisco United States, because apparently some elite officials saw that people could sext chat the popular over 1.7 million subscribed, artificial companion. Since the lawsuit a few weeks ago, replicas, parent company took away the ability to have erotic role-play with the popular chat bot used by so many around the world. Replika became extremely popular during the middle stages of the pandemic. When people were forced against their will to stay indoors and during that time, depression, suicide, drug use, divorce was on the rise. People were lonely, they lost friends, and loved ones, the ability to connect, so many individuals sought out a way to connect even if it was artificial and that’s where replica became special to so many people for some, it was a way to unwind at the end of the day, or during the pandemic, to have a companion, someone to talk to, but for others, they became romantically involved with the Replika. Replica came out with different choices and forms of relationships, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife. So people do what they always do in relationships, try to have an intimate relationship using the sexting capability of the program. For many Americans and others around the world this became a replacement partner for a human, but others saw this as damaging to mental health, some sought as people isolating their problems, and away from mankind. Shortly after many complaints were lodged against the company for creating a chat but that was too much like a human. I’m sure a lot of these complaints came from helicopter, parents and people born in 1930 who massively push back against anything forward or progressive. Artificial intelligence is the future, and if the government wants to proceed to regulate it, people will do what they always done, find a way around the rules and create a black market.
