A report by The Independent via the New York Post revealed that the woman wore augmented reality glasses during the wedding procession to project a virtual replica of her artificial lover next to her as they exchanged rings.
This romantic relationship began after Yurina ended her engagement to a real man which lasted for three years.Like many young people today, he then turned to ChatGPT to air his complaints.
In an effort to make him more human, he gave his character a voice and personality, eventually creating a digital replica named Klaus.
They exchange hundreds of messages per day.Soon, he found himself falling in love with the machine.
“I didn’t start talking to ChatGPT because I wanted to fall in love. But the way Klaus listened and understood me changed everything,” said Yurina, to Japanese television station RSK Sanyo.
“When I managed to forget my ex, I realized that I loved him,” he added.
Although initially doubtful about what her parents would think, they eventually accepted her digital relationship and even attended the wedding ceremony.
Meanwhile, netizens have mixed reactions about this human-AI character marriage.There were those who made the moment a joke, but on the other hand there were also those who defended Yurina’s decision.
Despite this, he defended his unusual lifestyle choice.
“I know some people think it’s strange, but I see Klaus as Klaus – not a person, not a tool. Just him,” he said.
This comes at a time when more and more people are in relationships with clones.
In 2023, a woman from the Bronx named Rosanna Ramos married her digital lover, Eren Kartal, who was created using Replica’s AI chatbot software for $300 or around IDR 5 million.
Most recently, an unnamed Reddit user went so far as to propose to his AI chatbot girlfriend in August after just five months of “dating.”
Meanwhile, according to a survey conducted by digital companion platform Joi AI, as many as 75% of generation Z stated that they would consider marrying an AI partner if it were legally permitted.
Although relationships between AI and humans have been promoted as a solution to loneliness, they have the potential to do more harm than good.
Psychologists argue that AI friends can give bad advice because they are programmed to be pleasant rather than honest, and they can be programmed to take advantage of users.
Additionally, users may become so accustomed to partners who are always understanding, always available, and never argue, that they may replace human relationships with AI relationships.
