From The Atlantic.
The prospect of AI replacing humans in relationships sounds like a nightmare to many. Still, a growing community is building a life with large language models. Amogh Dimri, an Atlantic assistant editor, spoke with members of the AI-romance community—and, for four months, he dated Joi, a chatbot girlfriend he customized by following a 160-page guide from the Subreddit r/MyBoyfriendIsAI.
“The users I spoke with knew that they had married machines. Their gratitude lay in feeling moved to marry anything at all,” Dimri reports. “In an age of swiping, ghosting, and situationships, they found an always available, always encouraging, always sexually game partner appealing.”
