“The Dating World Is Fu*ked”

ai girlfriend

Imagine this:

You’re lonely and want to talk to a girlfriend in your living room on a rainy weekend, so you open up CandyAI or one of its many competitors and create a girlfriend with their own highly attractive physical and personality traits. you give them a base script and can single out to edit individual quirks, writing; “I want Jessica to have a slightly more puzzled look on her face as I tell her I love her. I also want a touch of anger to be in her voice.”

No girlfriend is out of reach nor constrained by our looks or personality. Each girlfriend and their performance can be modified to the most minute detail. The possibilities are endless and the dating world is fucked.
