Would you sext with Santa Claus? A bizarre AI bot can send you sexy messages and voice notes from Santa, and they’re eerily realistic
Some people are sure to end up on the naughty list this Christmas.
Erotic audio platform BLOOM now lets users ‘sext’ with Santa Claus himself.
To celebrate the holidays, users of the bizarre AI chat service can now speak to a ‘hot Santa’ or his ‘naughty elf’.
The AI will not only send flirty text messages, but even create unique audio messages in the voices of the Christmas characters.
So if you’re feeling a little merry this holiday season, you can now indulge your imagination from the comfort of your own phone.
To celebrate the holidays, audio platform BLOOM lets users chat with an AI ‘hot Santa’ who will send text messages and even voice notes
BLOOM’s AI Santa sends flirty text messages and erotic voice messages to users based on their reactions and preferences
Some of this Santa bot’s Christmas-themed one-liners are definitely not what you’d expect from the jolly old man.
In an example shared by BLOOM, Santa Claus says: ‘Santa Claus knows how to keep the North Pole interesting during those long winter nights.
“If you’ve been particularly naughty this year, I can share some of those stories with you.”
In another, the bot writes: ‘Santa can keep you warm in more ways than one. I’ll make sure you stay nice and warm during the cold winter nights.’
And in one example, the Santa bot simply says, “Santa’s sack is full of all kinds of naughty surprises.”
The sexy Santa comes after BLOOM first launched its chat feature in September.
The company creates custom bots using a combination of recordings of human voice actors and pre-written scripts.
This allows the AI to automatically generate responses in the voice of a particular character in response to users’ requests and preferences.
Since launch, the company says users have exchanged more than six million messages with AI characters and received more than 3,300 hours of erotic voice notes.
Hannah Albertshauser, co-founder of BLOOM, told MailOnline that the bots “were created with ethics at their heart, focusing on consensual interactions between adults that set a new, realistic standard for fun.”
Ms. Albertshauser explains, “Our chatbots are unique because they are trained on the scripts and voice profiles of our unique characters.
‘We really enjoyed making Santa Claus. We worked with one of our most popular voice actors to create the voice; and we programmed the bot with festive pick-up lines to inject some humor and Christmas cheer.”
Although Ms. Albershauser says the sexy Santa bot is “a bit of festive fun,” it also serves a slightly more serious function.
For all the talk about mistletoe, research shows that the run-up to Christmas is actually one of the least sexy times of the year.
It’s not just Santa Claus getting an AI makeover, as BLOOM has also released a bot with the character of a ‘naughty elf’
Previous research shows that sex almost completely decreases in the three days leading up to December 25.
In a statement, BLOOM said these characters serve as “a light-hearted reminder to users to have fun and not neglect their sex lives this holiday season.”
Hot Santa won’t stick around forever, though, as the character is only temporary.
Ms. Albertshauser said, “Just like the real Santa Claus, Sexy Santa is only working during the holidays. So while it is proving popular at the moment, we are prepared for interest to remain seasonal.”
However, she told MailOnline that the company would consider adding more seasonal characters for different holidays of the year.
She added, “When it comes to sexual content, we all have unique and specific desires that we want fulfilled.
“If anyone needs a festive spirit to get into the spirit of the holidays, BLOOM is there for it.”
IS THIS THE FUTURE OF PORN? AI IS USED TO AUTOMATICALLY RECREATE NUDE PORTRAITS
An artificially intelligent (AI) machine that creates surreal nude portraits has been built by a teenager in Virginia.
AI expert Robbie Barrat fed a neural network – an AI that functions like the human brain – with thousands of naked portraits and then trained it to create his own racy works of art.
In a Tweet post, he said that the software often portrays people as fleshy blobs that spit out random tendrils and limbs, adding, “I wonder if that’s how machines see us.”

Although most of the women in the images appear lumpy and misshapen, some subjects closely resemble slender, standing figures.
Mr. Barrat, who recently graduated from high school in West Virginia, said he is currently doing a “deep learning internship” for AI computing giant NVIDIA.
He said the AI created images by interpreting a series of “rules” about the shapes, sizes and colors of figures that it learned from looking at thousands of nude portraits.
To train the algorithm – a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) – he mainly used portraits from ‘at least a few hundred years ago’.
