    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

    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.
