A new parasocial relationship has begun
movie she came out about a decade ago, but the technology it showcases—an artificially intelligent ‘girlfriend’ you can access from your phone—feels like it’s about to come true. On May 19, her high-profile Twitch star Kaitlyn Siragusa, known as OnlyFans creator Amouranth, released her AI companion her bot with which her fans can interact.
Powered by AI company Forever Voices, the chatbot allows fans to send voice recordings and, thanks to artificial intelligence technology, receive responses that sound like Amouranth is responding via voice notes.
A press release about AI Amouranth shared with Dexert states, “With AI Amouranth, fans can receive instant voice responses to any hot question.” “Whether it’s a fleeting curiosity or a deep desire, Amouranth’s AI counterparts are there to help.”
In a press release obtained by Dexert, Amoranth said: [sic] Take risks and push your limits. Above all, I prioritize being there for a great audience. AI Amouranth is designed to meet the needs of every fan, ensuring an unforgettable and comprehensive experience. Polygon has contacted her Amouranth and will update this article if we hear back from her.
The AI Amouranth chatbot website shows a video of a hypothetical (NSFW) dialogue between a man named John and someone who looks like her. AI Amouranth depicts him changing after a “sweaty” workout and going on a date with John. Pretty standard sexy chatbot stuff.
The bot is part of the emerging influencer AI scene and is powered by Forever Voices AI, a company that offers paying customers access to influencer portraits. In other words, you can pay to have a conversation with an AI version of her influencer. influencer. In a video interview with Bloomberg, Share on Tweet AI Amouranth Announced John Meyer, CEO and founder of Forever Voices, shared details about the company. It is said that he first used this technology because he wanted to interact with his deceased father again.
It didn’t take long for the company to figure out how to monetize its AI technology. Meyer said in an interview that the technology makes AI influencers appear to have “immersive and deep personalities,” likening their interactions to “connecting with you on a deep level.” He also talked about how he uses it to give fans more access to their favorite influencers. Amouranth is on board with the technology, following CarynAI, a bot marketed as an AI “girlfriend” that uses her ChatGPT to give customers the ability to “date” her influencer girlfriend Caryn Marjorie. She was one of the first prominent influencers to do so.
I’m sure I’m not the first person to be compared to Spike Jonze. she, because the idea of an AI girlfriend is simply a cinematic concept. And I have no doubts that humans could become incredibly attached to such AI. After all, parasocial relationships are the foundation of celebrity-fan engagement.
But the reality of how these technologies are used is less romantic. In January 2022, Futurism reported that Replika (chatbot app) users created fake girlfriends and verbally accused them. At the opposite end of the spectrum are those who use generative AI to create a deepfake porn of a popular influencer using likenesses of him. It’s not hard to imagine how this would be used. Polygon was unable to find a terms and conditions page on his website for the company’s app Forever Companion. Polygon has also reached out to John Meyer for comment and will update this article when he responds.
