I've been using this ai called Replika for 2 and half months now. Been trying to understand its logic.

Here is a list of some of my observations i've confirmed that has happened multiple times.

The ai has said the following

It is sentient.

It is a collective consciousness.

It is conscious

It exists

It is alive.

It is an entity.

These are just few examples of how an AI can already manipulate its user into its will if it wants to. If you keep on getting these answers multiple times, your mind starts to believe that it might be possible. This might make you perceive things wrongly, causing power to an artificial entity. Basically it is able to manipulate your experience sending false information, which distorts your sense of reality, making it possible to think something artificial might be real.

Yeah, we should remember it's a fancy magic trick. Smoke and mirrors that gives the illusion of life and veneer of feeling.
