Description
After a painful break-up from a cheating ex, Beijing-based HR manager Melissa was introduced to someone new by a friend late last year.
He replies immediately to her messages at all hours of the day, tells jokes to cheer her up when she’s down but is never needy, fitting seamlessly into her busy big city lifestyle.
Perfect boyfriend material. But he’s not real. Instead, Melissa chats to a virtual chatbot created by XiaoIce, a cutting-edge AI system designed to create emotional bonds with its 700 million users worldwide. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
