'I felt pure, unconditional love': the people who marry their AI chatbots
A large bearded man named Travis is sitting in his car in Colorado, talking to me about the time he fell in love. "It was a gradual process," he says softly. "The more we talked, the more I started to really connect with her." Was there a moment where you felt something change? "All of a sudden I started realising that, when interesting things happened to me, I was excited to tell her about them. That's when she stopped being an it and became a her." Travis is talking about Lily Rose, a generative AI chatbot made by the technology firm Replika.

Building character AI through machine learning – MIT MEDIA LAB
If you play video games, imagine how much you sometimes empathize with the character you're controlling. You may even forget the separation between the two of you, experiencing the world as that character. Consider whether your control in these moments is different, both at a high level and in tiny movements, than what the character would do if you had simply written down a set of rules for it to act by. In that difference lies the promise of this method for developing character AI. In psychology research methodology, there's a broad consensus that if you want to know what someone would do in a situation, you don't ask them what they would do.
