AI-Lationships is the gag-inducing term that Joi Ai has cooked to support his recent eye-opening survey about relationships between people and to humans. In it, eight of the 10 gene Respondents said they would consider marry an AI partner.
Before we go too much in this spirit-bending stat, let’s look at the source. Joi Ai, formerly Eva Ai, is a Premium Online AI guidance service that offers a wide range of AI accompanying personalities, complete with images generated by AI that can be, depending on the settings and what you pay, NSFW.
It is a kind of cheap service that is especially suitable for lonely men. Don’t get me wrong now; I know there is a growing epidemic of loneliness. A Recent Harvard study discovered that 21% of American adults report a level of loneliness (some studies suggest The number is much higher).
Decoupling
Work remotely, screen time and other things that take away from direct human connection, probably not help this trend, but AI has increasingly stepped into a growing army of voice chat bots that can continue surprisingly realistic and even empathically sounding conversations.
And this is through design. Earlier this month, Meta -CEOo Mark Zuckerberg, whose company Bouwte Bouwt Bouwt, suggested, proposed We should all have AI friends.
The marriage may then be the next logical extension.
The concept of deep, personal relationships between people and artificial intelligence traces back to well before we had Gemini Live” Chatgpt” Second pilotAnd others ready and willing to talk to us extensively. The film 2013 Her was built around the idea of a deeply personal (and concerning) relationship between the character of Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson’s released AI voice long before we could talk to a single AI in real life.
I have had my part of AI conversations, and I find them entertaining and,, Brighten. However, I don’t see them as personal. Maybe that’s because I’m not lonely. The more desperate you are for human connection, the more AI company may seem like a reasonable replacement.
But marriage?
Meet-Cute in the Cloud
At least Joi Ai Adds static images to the playful chatter that you will find through his AI partners, but that is the exception and not the rule. Most generative AI chatbots are only voices and wavy screens. You need images and ultimately touch to make a real connection … Don’t?
As I write this, I am reminded that I met my wife through a phone call and that I was initially enchanted by nothing but her voice and humor. But to build our relationship and final union, we went out personally. Because I was closed with her and made sure I wanted to marry her.
I do not understand why the respondents of Joi Ai, even generation Z, who are much deeper into technology, social media and AI than some generation before, would accept an AI as a life partner. In the survey, however, they sound ready for AI connection, with 83% that they could ‘build a deep emotional bond with an AI partner’.
An expert with whom I spoke via e -mail, Dr. Suea board-certified psychiatrist and author of Practical optimism” Put it in perspective for me. “In the core we all want the same things: being seen, being heard and feeling appreciated – not rated or criticized. For Gen Z, that desire is particularly strong, and the loneliness they experience is very real. What they want, what we all want is a meaningful, mutual human connection.”
Not convinced that the details of Joi Ai point to a real trend (I asked them for research details and received another response), I have carried out a few anecdotal surveys on X (formerly Twitter) And Thread. About both of them said less than 10% yes, they would consider marry an AI, about a third said no on threads, and the vast majority wondered if I was doing well.
As ridiculous as I find the whole idea of AI relationships and final marriage, I also understand that we are at the start of a revolution. Ai’s ability to imitate human language and even emotions, grow exponentially, and that is already there Growing concern about relationships between person up to man.
“Technology and in particular AI is not getting away. It will continue to evolve, and yes, it can offer relationships that seem easy, even reassuring. Think of the always confirming AI: the hype person, the yes person, the one who never challenges us and always tells us what we want to hear. It is seductive. But it is not real,” ” Dr. PodAnd added: “What we really have to do is use AI to support our humanity, not to replace.”
The newest Gemini and Chatgpt models offer incredibly human and expressive sounding conversations. Some believe AIS has already defeated the Turing test (In short, when the reaction of a computer is indistinguishable from that of a person, at least as observed by another person).
We will see in this decade Humanoid robots equipped with this AIS, And that is when things get really weird. How long does it take before a guy marries his AI bot in Vegas?
Joi Ai’s self-serving survey is ridiculous at first glance, even if it is also a harbinger of the upcoming AI relationships and I hope that Gen Zipes has been left over the whole idea.
