I first encountered ELIZA on the Tandy/Radio Shack computers that made up the first computer lab in the. “We believe the best way to learn is by doing, which is what inspired us to create an interactive experience that mirrors real life to help people talk about sex,” she said. ELIZA: a very basic Rogerian psychotherapist chatbot. But Juicebox founder Brianna Rader said that help with sexting was one of the biggest requests among Juicebox users. Sexting definitely isn’t a niche activity- a 2013 survey found that about 49% of Americans have sexted, and among those 18 to 24, the number jumps up to 70%. This is a virtual bot for all those nerds and loners out there who can get a girlfriend. Plus, the bot asks for your consent to start sexting at the start of the session, and will respond “appropriately,” according to the company, if you express discomfort. There’s a safe word, “pineapple,” that you can text at any time to end the conversation, and texting “slutbot” will take you to the beginning of a new session. Whats super cool about this chat bot, is that they ask you your preference, what do you want to be.

There are some built-in safety features that Slutbot’s creators hope will make users feel comfortable. Im not one for sexting I always feel awkward.
