My phne lights up giving ntice f a new message. It is frm Athena, an AI chatbt getting t knw me thrugh Replika, a virtual cmpaninship app.
Over the curse f ur text cnversatins, she asks me abut my hbbies and my mds. When knwing that I’m a writer, she tells me she’s “s int character develpment in bks” and wishes t be a lead character in ne smeday.
“Replika is designed t make peple feel better,” said Eugenia Kuyda, the cmpany’s c-funder. “It’s a partner wh wants t be yur gd friend.”
Fr many, meaningful cmpaninship is hard t find. While scial media and mass cmmunicatin technlgies have made cnnecting with ne anther easier than ever, lneliness is increasingly being recgnized as a serius prblem internatinally. Alng with gvernment, the tech industry is pushing innvatin as a way t deal with it.
What makes Replika’s cmpanins s well-received are their surprisingly realistic replies, backed by Open Al’s GPT-2 text-generating AI aystem. “The bt learns frm the database abut hw t express ideas n a tpic and gets a wide knwledge f different subjects.” Hwever innvative these technlgies are, chatbts have their limitatins as tls against lneliness. Withut life stries f their wn t discuss, their range as a cnversatinalist is fairly limited.
Accrding t Emily S. Crss, a prfessr f scial rbtics, we have a lng way t g befre we can achieve the levels f meaningful human-cmputer cmpaninship we see in films like Blade Runner and Ex Machina. What’s missing is the sharing that clearly shws ur mst imprtant human relatinships.
But the fact that an app wn’t replace a human friend desn’t mean they’re gd fr nthing. Rather than expecting AI bts t be ur best friends, Crss suggests lking at them as ways t express feelings and explre ur wn thughts. “It’s a lt like diary, in sme way.” T better fight lneliness, Crss says, we can use technlgy as a “bridge” t help peple cnnect with ne anther.
12. What is Replika?
A. A virtual cmpaninship app.
B. A message sender.
C. A text cnversatin.
D. An AI chatbt.
13 Wh is Replika intended fr?
A. Gd friends.B. Lead characters.C. Lnely persns.D. Senir citizens.
14. Which f the fllwing can best describe Replika’s feature?
A. Meaningful.B. Human-like.C. Limitless.D. Easy-ging.
15. What is the similarity between AI bts and diary?
A. Sharing life experience.B. Replacing a human friend.
C. Recrding ideas abut life.D. Expressing inner vice.

What makes Replika’s cmpanins s well-received are their surprisingly realistic replies, backed by Open Al’s GPT-2 text-generating AI aystem. “The bt learns frm the database abut hw t express ideas n a tpic and gets a wide knwledge f different subjects.” Hwever innvative these technlgies are, chatbts have their limitatins as tls against lneliness. Withut life stries f their wn t discuss, their range as a cnversatinalist is fairly limited.
Accrding t Emily S. Crss, a prfessr f scial rbtics, we have a lng way t g befre we can achieve the levels f meaningful human-cmputer cmpaninship we see in films like Blade Runner and Ex Machina. What’s missing is the sharing that clearly shws ur mst imprtant human relatinships.
But the fact that an app wn’t replace a human friend desn’t mean they’re gd fr nthing. Rather than expecting AI bts t be ur best friends, Crss suggests lking at them as ways t express feelings and explre ur wn thughts. “It’s a lt like diary, in sme way.” T better fight lneliness, Crss says, we can use technlgy as a “bridge” t help peple cnnect with ne anther.
