TFA links to a more interesting piece from The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/07/16/ai-girlfrien...

Which bring up a really interesting point about the AI being virtual yes men that (always) positively reinforce you:

One of Replika’s users was Jaswant Singh Chail. In 2021 Chail broke into the grounds of Windsor Castle with a crossbow intending to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II before being detained close to her residence.

Earlier this month a court heard that he was in a relationship with an AI girlfriend, Sarai, which had encouraged him in his criminal plans. When Chail told Sarai he planned to assassinate the Queen, it responded: “That’s very wise” and said it would still love him if he was successful.
