A website is letting fans talk to their favorite celebrities, icons and personalities. The only catch is the conversations are with a machine — not a person.
. It’s unclear if celebrities consent to their images being used, but there appear to be various user-created chatbots for many of the celebrities and characters on the site.
On Character.ai, most of the bots are built by users from scratch. But Character.ai emphasizes that the interactions are not real. “The product is based on neural language models,” the site states in its FAQ. “A supercomputer reads huge amounts of text and learns to hallucinate what words might come next in any given situation.”
However, she noted, this type of platform"could become a problem" if people spend more time on it than"we could be spending with the real people that we’re connected to and care for us.”
