  A shameless one.

  The idea/statistic is still weirdly interesting and discussion worthy though.

    Except it’s literally just an advertisement. None of the data can be trusted to mean anything.

      There’s at least the specter of sourcing data:

      Methodology
      All original statistics cited in this report are based on:
      Internal usage data (AIGirlfriends.ai, Feb–May 2025)
      Proprietary user surveys (n=2,312)
      Public search data via Google Trends, Semrush, SimilarWeb, and App Store rankings
      Community scans of Reddit, Quora, and Twitter using NLP and Pushshift
      

      aigirlfriends.ai/blog/research/

      Can’t trust any conclusions as far as you can throw them, and probably not the specifics of the data, but I suspect the sentiment is worryingly correct.
