User:AvitalB/thesis/That chatbot I’ve loved to hate

- As an educator, learning to talk through zoom, starr at the green light on the top of our computer

- "When machines ask us to care for them, we come to think they care for us. But this is pretend empathy, and it takes advantage of the deep psychology of being human."

- sociable machines- make humans feel empathy towards them by faking empathy themselves.

- The machine intimacy is lacking vulnerability therefor is not really intimacy.

- "Replika" is a chatbot that you can make and give a name, gender and "look" to. The number of users grew significantly during the pandemic.
