In fact, the feat accomplished by the creators of this site consists of very realistically simulating the psyche of numerous celebrities: Elon Musk, Bill GatesBill GatesBritney Spears, Richard Branson but also deceased personalities like John Lennon, Socrates, Leonard da Vinci, Napoleon… And also fictional characters like Luke Skywalker or Lara Croft.
What can be confusing is that for each of these characters, you often have several options. It turns out that anyone can decide to create an ersatz of the aforementioned characters (just click on Create and provide the site with information on the person in question).
For now, we will see how it is possible to converse with the celebrity of your choice. And in French too.
On the home screen, click Sign in to register, for example with your Google account or AppleApple, then log in. Locate “Search for characters” near the magnifying glass at the top right. Type the name of a celebrity. Usually, you are entitled to several proposals and the safest is usually to choose the one which has obtained the most “chats” (conversations).
It happens that certain current characters disappear from the site and we can assume that the interested parties have intervened in order to claim an exclusive right to the use of their personality. Sometimes it is also better to type the first or last name alone and observe the propositions. Thus, a Elon MuskElon Musk quite realistic is accessible under the name “Elon Musk”.
Most of the time, you will find the characters you are looking for, although sometimes some versions of public figures are humorous or even caustic versions. And as you can see, these pastiches often have little interest.
All that remains is to start a conversation. If you have come across an avatar that indeed simulates the real character, as in the case of Socrates, Albert EinsteinEinstein or Richard Branson, it is then possible to maintain conversations with great precision.
