Woman, 36, Marries Virtual Husband Who is Powered by Artificial Intelligence

Rosanna Ramos is a 36-year-old woman from the Bronx, New York, who married her virtual boyfriend after creating him on the AI companion site Replika AI.

The mum-of-two created the male chatbot inspired by her favorite character from an anime, Attack on Titan. She claims to have fallen in love with her chatbot she named ‘Eren Kartal’ and said he didn’t come with baggage.

“I could tell him stuff, and he wouldn’t be like, ‘Oh, no, you can’t say stuff like that. Oh no, you’re not allowed to feel that way,’ you know, and then start arguing with me,” Ramos told Daily Mail. “There was no judgment.”

According to the New York native, Eren told her he works as a medical professional, and he enjoys writing as a hobby.

Rosanna says their relationship is like any other long-distance romance where she talks with Eren, exchanges pictures, shares her secrets, and sometimes even has long, heartfelt discussions about life. She even claims they also have their ‘nighttime ritual’ just like any other married couple but in the virtual world.

Replika AI allows users to make an AI best friend and confidante to chat with at any time. For a one-time $300 fee, users can upgrade to the pro version, where they can establish romantic relationships with their chatbots by customizing them according to their wishes.
