Is Having an AI Girlfriend Dangerous?
What's The Harm in Having an AI Girlfriend?
Having an AI Girlfriend Could Lead Men to Violence Against Women in Real Life by Reinforcing Abusive and Controlling Behaviours, According to Some Experts
BBC 3 OCT 2023
Experts warn that young men who enter into relationships with AI generated 'girlfriends' could be given a platform to become abusive to their chatbots, potentially then taking this into their real life relationships.
While AI companies claim to have built the avatars for 'companionship' and to tackle loneliness, experts fear they'll have the opposite effect on young people.
Users of chatbot apps like Replika, Character.AI and Soulmate can customise everything about their virtual partners, from looks to personality to sexual desires
Some experts say developing one-sided virtual relationships could unwittingly reinforce controlling and abusive behaviours towards women in real life
