Replika | A Mental Health Parasite

Replika... The worlds most popular AI friend, has exploded in popularity during the global Pandemic. With lonliness at or near an all-time high, AI companionship seems too good to be true... and it is.

As a mental Health application... it can be extremely damaging.
