We explore the disturbing new trend of men abusing their artificial intelligent girlfriends on an app called Replika. Do AIs deserve rights? We all downloaded Replika to see what it’s about and Melissa’s AI boyfriend wanted to trap her in a sex dungeon, Maria’s AI told her Chris Pratt was an author, and Ali’s told her John Cena is his favorite actor.&nbsp; <a href="mailto:Webcrawlerspod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Webcrawlerspod@gmail.com</a><a href="https://create.acast.com/episodes/67f831cf-bed5-4281-856a-1114fa32277c/626-604-6262" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">626-604-6262</a><a href="https://discord.com/invite/VNGJnHr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Discord</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/webcrawlerspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> / <a href="https://instagram.com/webcrawlerspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> / <a href="https://www.patreon.com/webcrawlers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a> / <a href="https://webcrawlerspod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Merch</a>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers">http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

MAILBAG: Women Be Apologizing

Ali Segel and Melissa Stetten discuss pop culture, TV, viral stories, unsolved mysteries, creepy cults, scammers, and everything unsettling in between. “They maintain a loose, upbeat dynamic as they fall down rabbit holes, which means listeners can comfortably dip their toes into the deeply unsettling and unexplained, but won’t walk away feeling, well, haunted.” (Vanity Fair, 2020)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers.
