Summary | The app Replika allows people to have conversations with a computer program. After getting to know its user's personality, Replika becomes a digital clone that can imitate the user's expressions and speech characteristics. Thus, the app allows people to have a new virtual friend. Some people have more exchanges with Replika than with their contacts. A woman was able to fight depression thanks to Replika, and some grandparents want to create a digital clone so that their grandchildren can still communicate with them after they pass.
