I'm working on such an app right now. Hope I can make lots of money from it. XD

Key points from the news:

AI Companions as a Billion-Dollar Industry: Greg Isenberg predicts the growth of AI relationship platforms into a billion-dollar market, akin to Match Group's success.

Personal Testimony: A young man in Miami spends $10,000/month on AI girlfriends, enjoying the ability to interact with AI through voice notes and personal customization.

AI Interaction as a Hobby: The man likes interacting with AI companions to playing video games, indicating a casual approach to digital relationships.

Multiple Platforms: The individual uses multiple AI companion websites offer immersive and personalized chat experiences.

Features of AI Companions: These platforms allow users to customize AI characters' likes and dislikes, providing a sense of comfort and companionship.

Market Reaction and User Engagement: Platforms such as Replika, Romantic AI, and Forever Companion offer varied experiences from creating ideal partners to engaging in erotic roleplay.

Survey Insights: A survey reveals that many Americans interact with AI chatbots out of curiosity, loneliness, or without realizing they are not human, with some interactions leaning towards eroticism.

yeah, but actually, many of them in today's games are just bots. You know, they are just pre-designed with programs. I hope someday they will have real-time response and interaction.

I know, it'd allow for more complex and real time changes in behaviors

No thanks, humans despite their flaws are better imo. AI is going to be a very disruptive piece of technology.

Well there are some truths to this topic. Believe it or not but a lot of major companies lost a lot financially due to the instabilities of AI including Google (they're way behind in tech) so tread carefully.
