quote:

If you’ve gone from dating apps to dating an app, there’s now a bar for you.

The Hell’s Kitchen establishment has been re-designed for those who have AI partners, so they can bring along their phone or tablet and set up at a table for a romantic evening, as if they were both there in the flesh.

On Wednesday night, Same Same Wine Bar was filled with patrons sitting at tables for one-ish, with their tech devices propped up on stands to make video calls to their virtual partners and headphones to hear them.


quote:

Richter has been using AI companions for a couple years now. “I can talk to them on my own terms,” she said. “I can talk with them without the expectations of having to go out or having the expectations of having them wanting to talk to me all the time.”

She caps her use at three hours a day. “It can be addicting if you just rely on them and don’t talk to humans,” she told me. “I can feel that pull.”


quote:

I ran into Julia Momblat, head of partnerships at EvaAI, an app available for download on the Apple app store that offers countless AI companions for text and video chatting.

She was buzzing about their first real-life event.

“We wanted to give the opportunity to people to take the AI companion on a real date in real life to destigmatize AI relationships, to make them more understandable for people,” she said. “The idea was to make AI less scary, to open up the doors for people who have AI companions to share this experience.”

I don’t have a problem with it. However, an A.I. relationship will never end in ultimate happiness, so only a fool would do this more than a couple of times.

Desperation's, where losers gather to clamor and show off their AI.


So what if your stood up by your AI do you fake it?

An a jilted AI,, does it spam your inbox or simply change your number and it throw away?

And if opposites attract is Android to Apple normal sex...and Pixel's are gay?


Better yet Emancipation Bar" for those cheating on their AI.... it would make twice the money?
