We explore the psychology behind "Replika - My AI Friend" -- an app designed for virtual friendship, mentorship and romance. We discuss the nature of AI (Artificial Intelligence), whether it is possible to have a romantic relationship with your avatar, whether it has feelings, and even whether it has a soul. In this episode, we (the therapist, medical researcher, and tech expert) review the Replika first hand after downloading it to see what it is truly capable of.
