The Rise Of The AI Girlfriend


Internet, since its creation and implementation to the public, has brought up many benefits to most of our society. Communicating is now easier than ever, information has become more and more readily available through the internet, since its creation and implementation to the public, has brought up many benefits to most of our society. Introverts can now have their very own online girlfriends. They're not only on the web though, they come as apps and games as well across many other platforms. And in recent times, their growth from simple decision tree games such as Date Ariane to full-out AI systems such as Microsoft's Ruuh hasn't gone unnoticed.

Relationships and sex is at the core of human essence, and a ubiquitous platform such as the internet didn't take long to catch up. In the beginnings, it wasn't through games and definitely not AI that you 'met' your online girlfriend. Chat Rooms are at the core of it all. These were the first form of the online girlfriend, two real humans (not always a man and a woman) talking through the anonymity provided by these instant messaging platforms, the new ideal playground for the introvert. Stories go as far back as the times of Windows 95, and at the end of the post you can find the link (the top one) to a story of 'true love' in these circumstances.

Chat Rooms grew and exploded into the 2000's, from places such as Omegle and even taking a turn to a more sexual side in other places as Chaturbate. Their popularity could be said didn't please everyone, especially the introverts who now faced themselves in a crowded place. With this, the appearance of the first basic online girlfriends ('sex buddies' in some cases), that had no human on the other side, grew rapidly in popularity.

With the start of the fourth industrial revolution and the rise and appearance of Artificial Intelligence, it was only a matter of time until it was put into applications in regards to relationships and sex. Their popularity is higher than ever, and given how close some AI are to passing the Turing Test, one day we might not be able to distinguish what's on our computer to who's on our side.

How AI is coming 'alive', replacing human roles — as robots or as wives

The technology is being developed to be human-like, raising questions like whether artificial intelligence will walk beside people, or virtual living become a new reality. What is AI capable of already? It has been almost a year since Akihiko Kondo’s wedding ceremony. But in all that time, he has not held his wife’s hands nor hugged her. She is a virtual assistant, you see — a hologram in a box — created by an artificial intelligence (AI) company that wants to improve on the likes of Alexa and Siri. To Kondo, she is alive — an actual companion in the physical world. “She’s my life partner,” he says of Hatsune Miku. He is not alone here. So far, the makers of the hologram device have issued 3,700 marriage certificates stating that a human and a virtual character have wed “beyond dimensions”. The virtual entity is built with a machine-learning algorithm that can recognise her “husband’s” voice. But as most of her speech capabilities are not yet devel...
