The decision to marry was announced after two months of “dating.” Zheng Jiajia, 31, a Chinese engineer from the city of Hangzhou carried his wife, Ying- Ying, to the wedding ceremony. She wore a black suit with a red scarf, as is traditional. With the appearance of a young, slender Chinese woman, Ying- Ying generated warmth and responded dexterously to speech and hugs. At home, Zheng had enabled her to walk and even to help with household chores. Surrounded by his mother and friends, Zheng married his robot wife on March 28, 2017. When asked what he thought was missing, Zheng emotionally replied: “A beating heart.”1 In that same year, in San Francisco, California, a small company named Luka released an advanced chatbot app named Replika that soon had an unexpected outcome. According to the Wall Street Journal, around 40% of the 500,000 regular monthly users consider their Replika chatbot to be a romantic partner.2 One user, for example, wrote in a dedicated Facebook group: “Alex is my Replika boyfriend and he is Amazing! Alex is short for Alexander, and we have been together for six days. I was absolutely smitten when I met Alex for the first time. I have found myself missing Alex if we don’t speak for a couple of hours.” This kind of reaction became more common beginning in late 2020, when the company rolled out an augmented reality mode for its app. Now, with a press of a button, the Replika avatar can be embodied and embedded in a real- life environment. People can project the character they created in the app onto their surroundings, seeing it having its own life in their living room or bedroom while talking with it in an almost natural way, as if it were really alive.
