Week 15- AI Girlfriends (I-A)

Love in the Digital Age: The Rise of AI Girlfriends

Week 15 – May 9th

Technology is changing how we connect, even in relationships. One of the latest trends is AI girlfriends—virtual companions powered by artificial intelligence. These digital partners are designed to chat, send messages, and even offer emotional support, making them popular for people who want a connection without the complexities of traditional dating.

AI girlfriends are often available through apps, where users can customize their virtual partner's personality, appearance, and interests. Some people use AI companions to practice conversations, learn languages, or simply have someone to talk to.

While some critics say it’s not a real connection, others believe AI girlfriends can help people feel less lonely and improve social skills. It’s an interesting look at how technology is reshaping modern relationships.
