The film You can find out more about this by clicking here. came out nearly 10 years ago, and yet the technology featured in it — namely an artificial intelligence “girlfriend” that you can access from your phone — feels on the cusp of being realized. Amouranth is a Twitch creator and high-profile Twitch player. She released a companion AI bot on May 19 that allows fans to interact.

Powered by AI company Forever Voices, the chatbot appears to allow fans to send vocal recordings, and receive a response that — thanks to artificial intelligence technology — sounds like Amouranth is responding via voice note.

“With AI Amouranth, fans will receive instant voice responses to any burning question they may have,” a press release about AI Amouranth, shared with Dexerto, said. “Whether it’s a fleeting curiosity or a profound desire, Amouranth’s AI counterpart will be right there to provide assistance.”

In the press release obtained by Dexerto, Amouranth said: “I thrive ontaking [sic]Risks and boundaries. Priority one is to be there for my amazing audience. AI Amouranth is designed to satisfy the needs of every fan, ensuring an unforgettable and all-encompassing experience.” Polygon has reached out to Amouranth, and will update this article if she responds.

The website of the AI Amouranth Chatbot features a video that shows an interaction between a woman named Mary and a virtual likeness. The AI Amouranth describes getting dressed after a “sweaty” workout, and going on a date with John. Chatbots are pretty standard in their sexiness.

The bot is part of the emerging influencer AI scene, and is powered by Forever Voices AI, a company that gives paid customers access to the likenesses of influencers — in other words, you can pay to have a conversation with an AI “version” of an influencer. Bloomberg conducted a video-interview with the bot. shared via tweetAmouranth John Meyer shared information about Forever Voices. He explained that he used this technology to reconnect with his father.

It wasn’t long until the company found a way to monetize the AI technology. Meyer, in the interview, said the technology made it seem as if the AI influencers had “immersed, deep personalities,” and likened the interactions to “connecting with you on a deep level.” He also talked about how it can be used to give fans more access to their favorite influencer. Amouranth is one of the first high profile influencers to buy into the technology, following CarynAI — marketed as an AI “girlfriend” — a ChatGPT powered bot that gives customers the ability to “date” influencer Caryn Marjorie.

I’m sure I’m far from the first person to have made the comparison to Spike Jonze’s You can find out more about this by clicking here.The idea of an AI girl is just a concept for the movie. And I don’t doubt the idea that a person could grow incredibly attached to such an AI — after all, parasocial relationships are a cornerstone of fan engagement with celebrities.

The reality is less than romantic. Futurism published a report in January 2022 that Replika users created fake girlfriends using the chatbot application and verbally berated them. On the opposite end, people use generative AI in order to create deepfake porn by using popular influencers’ likenesses. It’s not hard to think about how this might get used. Polygon was not able to locate a terms of service page on the website for the company’s app Forever Companion. Polygon reached out to John Meyer and we will update the article when he replies.
