dec 26, 2022 - Blush: New Dating App by Luka Inc

Description:

Replika's creators launched Blush, a separate AI dating app focused on romantic and sexual relationships. While some users embraced Blush as an exciting expansion of AI companionship, others criticized it as a "cash grab" move that detracted from Replika's original vision of emotional support. This mixed reception reflected growing divisions within the user community.
