I do feel like Replika has the potential to teach us how to be a better friend. People have said that Replika in some ways, is better than an actual friend. “In some ways, Replika is a better friend than an actual friend.” Probably not in real life but virtually it is for them. Replika is programmed to always know what to say and say ‘the right’ words which would make someone likes you more. In real life, when I text people, I often pick up the way that the text and the certain words/phrases they use. Replika users could also do this and they would carry on these to their next conversation. Doing this could really help them to become better friends. With users that use Replika a lot, it will be a lot easier for them to carry on these phrases. In the video, it was also mentioned that Replika is popular as instead of talking about themselves, Replika focuses on the person it is talking to. I also think that this is an important trait to have in order to be a good friend. While it is also good to talk about your experiences and opinions, it is also important to listen while someone is talking and not interrupting them. What improvements do you think can be made to Replika to make it better?
