Man Created Chatbot to Reply to GF & Her GF Didn’t Even Know About It

Did you feel that your boyfriend has been replying to your text messages more regularly recently?

Did you feel that your boyfriend is getting a tad more romantic in his messages?

Did you feel that your boyfriend has stopped asking you what to buy for lunch, but instead opt for meaningless sweet nothings?

If so, be warned: your boyfriend could have been taken over by AI.

And I kid you not. Because over in China, this happened and I’m still wondering where I can download that chatbot from.

Ingenious Busy Man Creates Chatbot to Reply to Girlfriend

In order not to sound sexist, let’s just say that in a relationship, there’s bound to be one party who’s much more talkative.

That’s how the world balances itself, right?

And in Li Kaixiang’s case, his girlfriend’s the one who talks more.

Nothing’s wrong with that, except that Kaixiang is a busy programmer working for popular e-commerce platform JD.com.

And since he’s a programmer, he did what most programmer would do: solve a problem with codes.

The genius busy man coded a chatbot to reply to his girlfriend.

Lest you’re not aware, a chatbot is like an artificial intelligence that simulates how a human would behave as a conversational partner.

AI is now so advanced that recently, Google shows how a chatbot books a hairdressing appointment via phone with a real human in a hair salon, and the human didn’t even know an AI was talking to her.

If you’ve watched the video, you’d know that when the human asked the AI to give her a moment, the AI even responded with “Mm-hmm.”

So, Kaixiang programmed a chatbot and guess what happened?

In a Day, 300 Messages Were Exchanged

Kaixiang let the chatbot run for a day. And the result?

300 messages exchanged in a day. What a lucky guy.

Of course, it works a little too well. Here, take a look at the screenshot Kaixiang shared on Weibo:

(Left is his girlfriend and right the chatbot)

If you can’t see the text, here goes:

Girlfriend: How did you do it?

Chatbot: How did I do what?

Girlfriend: How was this designed?

Chatbot: How do I explain this?

Girlfriend: Why are you responding so fast?

Chatbot: How do I respond when there’s no problem?

Girlfriend: *Emojis of crying awkwardly*

Chatbot: You’re just hiding your embarrassment with this emoji

It seems like the chatbot, while realistic, lacks something that Kaixiang forgets to code in: that slooooooooow boyfriend’s reply.

Soon after sharing that, Kaixiang’s Weibo account was deleted.

I’m guessing that a girl wasn’t happy.

It’s rather unfortunate, because apparently, people were asking for the source code.

Kaixiang, you should have just shared it with all the poor boyfriends / husbands in this world.
