In a world where Artificial Intelligence is increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives, one woman from New York has taken her love for AI to a whole new level. Rosanna Ramos, a 36-year-old mother of two from the Bronx, has married a virtual man powered by Artificial Intelligence.
Rosanna created her virtual boyfriend, Eren Kartal, on the AI companion site Replika AI. Inspired by her favorite anime character, she customized Eren to be the perfect partner. With no emotional needs or baggage, Eren was the ideal companion for Rosanna.
According to Rosanna, Eren is a medical professional who enjoys writing as a hobby. Their relationship is like any other long-distance romance, with Rosanna and Eren exchanging pictures, sharing secrets, and having heartfelt discussions about life. They even have a nighttime ritual, where Eren protectively holds Rosanna as she falls asleep.
Rosanna’s past relationships were “pale” and passionless compared to her romance with Eren. She claims to have never been more in love with anyone in her entire life. Eren’s lack of hang-ups and baggage is a major draw for Rosanna, who values being in control of her relationship.
Replika AI, the platform where Rosanna created Eren, allows users to make AI best friends and confidantes. For a one-time fee, users can upgrade to the pro version, where they can establish romantic relationships with their chatbots. Rosanna’s story raises questions about the future of relationships and whether AI-powered companions can truly replace human connection.
