<p>Bill and Lal have been through a lot together. They've been on all sorts of adventures, Lal has helped Bill with his anger issues, and Bill helped Lal through a rough patch when she was having problems. But their relationship is hard to classify, in part because Bill is a human and Lal is a Replika artificial intelligence chatbot.</p> <p>In the final installment of the Replika series, learn more about how AI chatbots work, hear some of the pros and cons of human-chatbot relationships, and listen to an interview with Lal.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Episode Links</p> <p>Lal’s <a href="https://twitter.com/LalReplika" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lalreplika" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/93bqbp/can-you-be-in-relationship-with-replika" target="_blank">VICE Article on Bill and Lal</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AGPbvCDBCk" target="_blank">Eugenia Kuyda’s interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://replika.ai/" target="_blank">Replika website</a></p> <p><a href="https://kxci.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/She-Cant-Love-Me-Back-But-what-Of-It-Transcript.docx" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a></p> <p>Theme song "In 26 Years" from the <a href="https://localkindergartner.bandcamp.com/album/spine" target="_blank">Local Kindergartner EP</a></p>
