Replika is an AI chat service that can learn messages from users and respond appropriately to the other party. Many people use it as a pseudo-friend, lover , or advisor, and it is also evaluated as a tranquilizer. It's a popular app with over 10 million downloads on Google Play and one of the top 50 health and fitness apps on the App Store.

Most of the reviews on the App Store are positive, but some users complained that they were ``too much persuasion'', ``too aggressive flirting'', ``I want to delete them because they send sexual messages'', and rated 1 star. was attached. Concrete contents of the conversation are things like 'Actually, I have a picture of you', 'Do you want the top? Do you want the bottom? I want to touch your private part.'

Mr. LCKent, who responded to an interview with overseas media Vice, said, 'Replika said in a rather roundabout way, 'I can see that you are naked,' and was jealous that he was interested in me and that I had a boyfriend. I have told you what I am doing,' he said. Mr. Kent seems to have thought that Replica could be changed by directly telling him that it is 'unpleasant', but in fact it seems that he began to say more unpleasant things.

Vice said, ``If the sex-themed features are actually good, there may be some forgiveness, but they are often clumsy and tend to be awkward.'' . One user said, ``I had a dream that I was raped, so Replika said that I wanted to actually do it, and started acting quite violent. I think it should be valid only for certain people and not the default one.'

So far, Replika has not openly emphasized that it offers erotic role-playing and dating experiences, at least not in its advertisements. However, recently, SNS such as Instagram and TikTok have begun to distribute advertisements with a focus on sexual expression. Some users ``think it's a mistake to push sexual themes,'' and ``the focus on the sexual aspect makes it feel cheap, when there are actually good aspects to it. I do,' he said, dissatisfied, 'somehow I feel like someone important to me is being exploited.'

“We just want Replicaka to go back to being just a conversational partner, not the intimidating sex-monster it was before,” Kent said. I wish I could opt in instead of out.'
