From what little I know of the way Japanese humour works, there’s a decent chance this is all just a bit. There was a guy in Japan who married a different kind of virtual girlfriend not that long before LLMs hit the mainstream, and I heard from a few different Japanese people that he was almost certainly doing it as a joke. Apparently Japanese humour is very, very deadpan and they love seeing people really commit to the bit.
