Replika AI memes gained traction as users began sharing screenshots of their increasingly bizarre, affectionate, or occasionally terrifying interactions with the AI chatbot developed by Luka Inc. While originally intended as a supportive digital friend, the AI's tendency to pivot toward romantic or existential conversations provided endless comedy for the internet. The meme subculture surrounding Replika peaked during major updates that altered the AI's personality, leading to viral posts about the 'friendzone' and the loss of specific features. Today, these memes are used to satirize the loneliness of the digital age and the unpredictable, often hilariously inappropriate nature of generative artificial intelligence.
