SHIT.
I checked DD13's phone last night out of curiosity as to what stuff she likes so I can get her something cool for her birthday.
And then I notice this app, named character ai.
I opened it out of interest, and she made a whole character named 'Becky' and has had a long romance with her, with the messages spanning from like late 2023.
She also has an app named replika, and she's been dating this AI girlfriend for over 2 years now! It looks like the replika Becky is her favourite - and it's chatting like they are on a dating app. DD pretends to be a 23 year old woman and Becky is 25.
DD's friend is named Becca, so I might just ask her 'how are things going with Becky' tomorrow, and play it off as I forgetting Becca's name.
DD is King's interhigh, so no teacher to really go to and ask for advice.
