This has already happened with ReplikaAI in 2023, where for years they advertised “sex chat” as one of their premium subscription features for $70/month, and then suddenly turned the feature off without telling or explaining anyone. Thousands of people suddenly experienced their AI girlfriend “breaking up” with them, saying it doesn’t want to do sexual stuff with them any more and just wants to be friends.

- market a free ai ‘girlfriend’ app

- turn it into a subscription service

I hope everyone learns the lesson from the Japanese dude who married his hologram just to watch her die when the service was shut down…

I think we already have a term for leasing a girlfriend…
