In China, a 75-year-old man divorced his wife because of romantic feelings for a virtual woman created by AI. Jiang, the name of the man is the name, believed her words about care and, oddly enough, emotional closeness and was waiting for messages from a loved one.
The elderly person was not even embarrassed by the best graphics itself: the obvious inconsistency of the speech and lip movements was traced. He was so carried away by a non -existent woman – AI, who hooked him alter the ego – that he did not want to hear any arguments.
At the same time, in China, this situation acquires the scale and threatening the scale of the real epidemic. The most people in China often become dependent on virtual characters that seem caring. These characters can accept different images, from a student to a business man, and are used to promote goods through emotional manipulations. It is clear that there can be no concern and emotions simply because it is a machine, not a person.
However, older people spend money, not suspecting that they buy non -existent goods or communicate with unrealistic interlocutors. Up to serious dependence, as is the case with Jiang.
