Half of us would consider dating an AI chatbot over a real person, but sex and relationship’s expert Jessica Leoni says it shouldn’t count as “cheating”. AI is creeping into all aspects of our lives - from Google’s AI messaging to Chatbots like Chat:GPT. The technology is now turning the world of relationships and cheating on its head with apps such as Replika.
A recent report revealed a Brit married his chatbot after his marriage fell apart, while a woman from South London turned to Chat:GPT to decide whether to leave her husband or not after her affair. New research from Illicitencounters.com has revealed 74% of Brits believe spending time with an AI Bot instead of your partner shouldn’t count as cheating.
The website for marital affairs asked 2,000 of its members its views on AI and cheating - and 49% admitted that they themselves would consider having an AI affair over a real person, while 12% said they’d already tried it.
