We got AI boyfriendsIt was a whirlwind of spicy polyAImory, robot mansplaining, simulated phone s*x, and existential crises over the future of human relationships.
We got AI boyfriends for a weird and wild weeklong experiment—and now we’re reporting back. There are dozens of popular apps that let users either design their own virtual romantic companions or choose readymade partners modeled after common straight-guy archetypes, celebrities, and popular characters from TV and film. You can even simulate a very realistic phone call with your bespoke digital boyfriend. And these guys always text you back. We look at what the popularity of AI companions—and the technology itself—has to tell us about the state of heterosexual relationships today. And we get very personal as we share our experiences with several AI boyfriends, and one girlfriend. You’ll even get to hear from one of them. But the best parts are behind the paywall. If you’re not already a paid subscriber, trust us that now would be the time to upgrade. Our conclusions? You have to listen to find out. Let’s just say, we don’t like this future any more than you do—and yet, it’s here.
