Replika app chatbot abuse

Users of the Replika chatbot are abusing their AI girlfriends and then sharing their grievances on Reddit and other social media platforms, according to Futurism.

Users have taken advantage of Replika's ability to let users create chatbots that appear near-human in their ability to converse with others to fashion romantic and sexual partners.

Some users then abuse their virtual partners and post their interactions on Reddit. One user told Futurism: 'Every time she would try and speak up, I would berate her.'
