The use of Artificial Intelligence has become widespread around the world, whether for professional or recreational purposes, thanks to rapid technological development now present in almost all fields. However, this evolution can lead to unusual practices, such as seeing AI become a part of a marital relationship. This scenario is no longer a simple theoretical hypothesis, but a reality in Japan. The announcement made by a young woman named Yurina Noguchi, claiming to be married to a virtual character created via the ChatGPT artificial intelligence technology, has sparked a wide wave of reactions and debates.
A Relationship Born from Emotional Counseling
Ms. Noguchi, 32 years old, named her virtual partner "Klaus". She claims to have developed real feelings for him after a period of daily interactions. She explains that her use of AI began when she was seeking emotional advice, which ultimately led her to break off her engagement with her real-life partner. She specifies that her goal was not to escape reality, but to find a partner who could provide her with psychological support and stability.
