An anonymous reader quotes a report from VICE News: EVA AI, a platform allowing
you to create and connect with your own AI partner, recently surveyed 2,000 men
and found that 8 in 10 would consider marrying an AI girlfriend if it were
legal. Not only that, but 83% of men also believe they could form a deep
emotional bond with an AI girlfriend. What's even scarier is that a whopping
78% of men surveyed said they would consider creating a replica of their ex,
and three-quarters would duplicate their current partner to create a "polished"
version of them. "AI companionship allows people to be their authentic selves
without fear of judgment," said Cale Jones, head of community growth at EVA AI.
"It creates a safe space to explore thoughts, emotions, and desires that might
feel too vulnerable to share in real life. The benefits extend far beyond the
virtual world: one EVA AI user discovered her bisexuality through this platform
-- something she previously felt too insecure to explore in real life."
