Virtual Girlfriends on the Rise

Eight out of ten men said they are ready to replace a real girlfriend with a virtual one. The main reason is the exhaustion from endless dating in pursuit of 'the one.' But it's not just about finding new love. About 78% of those surveyed are interested in the possibility of 'dating' a clone of their ex, and 80% are ready to communicate with an AI version of deceased individuals. According to Kale Jones, head of the AI communication platform, technology offers what many lack in real life: the ability to be oneself without fear of judgment.
