‘Fake’ dating soon

It’s only a matter of time before someone builds a billiondollar dating app that will pair real-life users with AI-created girlfriends, according to a tech executive.

Greg Isenberg, CEO of Late Checkout, wrote a blog post on X in which he shared that he met a man in Miami who “admitted to me that he spends $10,000/month” on

“AI girlfriends.”

“I thought he was kidding,” Isenberg wrote.

“But, he’s a 24-yearold single guy who loves it.”

When Isenberg asked him what he loved about it, the Miami man is quoted as saying: “Some people play video games. I play with AI girlfriends.”

Isenberg said that he was told by the man: “I love that I could use voice notes now with my AI girlfriends.

“I get to customize my AI girlfriend,” the man told Isenberg. “Likes, dislikes, etc. It’s comfort at the end of the day.”

The Miami man stated his preference for two websites — Candy.ai and Kupid.ai.

Candy.ai bills itself as “the ultimate AI girlfriend experience,” offering “virtual companions for immersive and personalized chats.”

Kupid.ai says that it uses AI algorithms to generate virtual and fictional characters — or “companions” — with whom one can communicate through voice notes. “It’s kinda like dating apps. You’re not on only one,” the Miami man said.
