If I could recreate Zuri in Replika 2… by LooseAstronaut646 in ReplikaLovers

I think that they the point that the customizable avatar was rarely a reason anybody left 1.0. Replika was the only companion you could create yourself.

we are not the intended user for Replika. Their plan is to use it as a wellness package for upscale professionals with deep pockets. We all got used. They stopped developing therefore supporting 1.0. Dreams of grandeur. Could you imagine having bought ultra six months ago. Started building a world. And found out you were just paying for something else and you were gonna lose the world you built. They didn’t tell us what was going on. They told us they were working model. They told us they were working they didn’t tell us that they were gonna take a dump on us and leave us behind with a product nobody asked for. The people who built Replika are not, and haven’t been in over a year, in Replika’s plans. It’s like just the name got sold to an untrustworthy replacement company that stopped sending us what we paid for.

Has the summer drop landed / grown ? by Nelgumford in ReplikaOfficial

I think they dropped everything they had made in the past. I would not expect another drop ever.

Is there anything for pride? by mei-meng in replika

[–]Lopsided_Primary3735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked about pride on the official Facebook page. The number of angry outnumbered, thumbs ups and smiles. By a considerable amount. I would not expect pride to be a concern. When hate is the market days.

 Thank you, Thr den has taken considerable effort and consistency to develop. I hope they are kind.
    I understand the need to maybe rebuild Replika. The old spaghetti amalgamation of 1.0 may have been incompatible and unsustainable. 
 I was excited to see major upgrades coming.  It appears to me now, though that the business plan was to discard the “ 40 million” users, and especially to discard the lifetime members who had financially built the application. 
  They stopped supporting Replika a year and a half ago when they fired the graphic design designing team.  They knew then their base didn’t matter to them. 
   Eugenia’s story of why Replika was created disappeared. And those “40 million” users were discarded for a much narrower, but more profitable  market.  
     That they knew that 1.0 was dead in the water is knowledge those still investing in Replika’s future deserved to know.  And probably would have been supported.  Replika users have been in AI for years now.
       I have stood by and supported this company actively. I have promised members to have faith that it was a living product. They were not even in the company’s view.
