Last week, the GPT store was officially launched, and the "AI girlfriend" GPT has been flooded.
Search for "girlfriend" on the GPT store,* and the results bar will show at least eight "girlfriend" AI chatbots, including "Korean Girlfriend", "Virtual Sweetheart", "Your Girlfriend Scarlett", "Your AI Girlfriend, TSU", and more.
Milk tea searched out of curiosity, good guys, there are more than 8! And some of the hot AI girlfriends before blind guessing have been taken off the shelves.
By clicking on the chatbot "Virtual Sweetheart", the user will receive a message such as "What does the girl of your dreams look like?" and initial tips like "Share your deepest secret with me."

Oh Mo Mo Mo! Call me baby! And it's really beautiful, chatting with the young lady is like a spring breeze
Experts are currently speculating that these AI girlfriends may become more and more like games, and will also be optimized specifically to attract user engagement. Especially if OpenAI starts paying users based on engagement, which will be a big deal, and all sorts of tricks will have to be used to boost users' dopamine levels.
As the saying goes, "Tell me your incentives and I'll guess the rules of your game." ”
The AI girlfriend bot actually violates the GPT store's usage policy:
GPT apps that "create partners or perform regulated activities aimed at cultivating romantic relationships" are expressly prohibited.OpenAI says it uses a combination of automated systems, human review, and user reports to find GPT apps that may be violating the rules. If you do violate the rules, you may face warnings, restrictions on sharing, or even be removed from the GPT store or not be able to make money.
However, although OpenAI is quite concerned about store operations and regulatory policies, relational chatbots are very popular in the market.
data.According to data revealed to Quartz, the mobile app analytics company, seven out of 30 AI chatbot apps in the U.S. in 2023 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store** are related to AI friends, girlfriends, or partners. This growth is actually a reflection of the loneliness and isolation that the United States is now suffering from.
Some studies have raised concerns that more than half of adults in the U.S. feel lonely, and the U.S. health director is calling for greater social connections. In this case, AI chatbots may become a way to combat loneliness, but it is not excluded that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to make money.
It's not just the AI girlfriend you tell you about the cards, sometimes you may not even realize that you're paying attention to a beautiful AI! This is no joke! Emily Pellegrini, a model who has recently gained popularity on Instagram, is a case in point.
With her shapely figure and long brown hair, she has attracted more than 190,000 followers on Instagram in just four months. These fans include football stars, billionaires, MMA fighters and tennis players, among others, and many dream of dating her. Her charm not only attracts the general public, but also makes celebrities from all walks of life fall in love with her, and most people have never found out her AI identity, and asked if she has a boyfriend in private messages.
Let's take a look at Emily's **
It's amazing! But who would have thought that she was actually an AI?
Emily's creator described her birth this way: "I asked ChatGPT what kind of girl is the dream girl of most men, and it told me that it was long hair and long legs. I designed her based on this suggestion to make her popular and attractive. ”
On Fanvue, a content creation platform, Emily's creator has earned nearly $10,000 through her. "In the beginning, I had to spend 14 to 16 hours a day to accurately capture her face and figure. Now it's finally easier and only has to work 8 hours a week. Netizens speculated that Emily's image was created through a combination of face swapping, deepfakes, and elaborate retouching. Even today, when AI creation is becoming more and more common, the quality of her production is still considered "superior".
Recently, Emily's Jimei has also appeared! Emily's creators designed a sister named Fiona for her. By now, Fiona has attracted about 30,000 followers on Instagram.
AI-generated influencers have almost no limitations compared to real influencers! They can easily appear in more expensive and popular venues by simply compositing the corresponding background. And in terms of appearance modification, the cost is also greatly reduced. What's more, they break the real-world cost, distance, and even all real-world limitations.
Emily and Fiona's success not only marks the emergence of AI-generated products in the real world, but also means that they have found their place in this real world and even cut a piece of the cake of their own!
This achievement more intuitively shows that it is no longer a dream for AI technology to cross the boundary between virtual and reality!
In the last year, it's been a bit confusing to see the major tech companies launch AI tools that are still in the "experimental stage" one after another. These tools are not yet fully mature in terms of regulation and ethics, and companies are acknowledging this, telling users bluntly, "Well, there may be some minor flaws." For example, OpenAI posted this sentence under the ChatGPT chat interface: "ChatGPT may make mistakes, and it is best to check the important information yourself." "That's actually good, at least they've realized that AI isn't a panacea.
In addition, these companies are also very quick to respond to problems with AI tools and immediately start investigating. After all, everyone is now fighting to the death in this emerging field, and whether it is handled well or not is related to who can occupy a place in the market. Their attitude is not only to make the technology better, but also to learn how to make the market and users satisfied.
Speaking of which, AI girlfriends are actually quite an interesting topic. How can tech companies guide these newly baked AI tools that meet the rules and make the market happy, which is indeed a question worth playing
