>“We have some users who talk to the AI companions and think they are real,” he told me.
>The words ‘The Best AI Girlfriend and Chatbot’ are plastered across the top of the pornhub-come-tinder looking website.
>“One came to the customer services saying ‘Oh, I talked to this companion and I want to ask her out. How much should I pay?’ He was devastated when I told her she is AI,” Eric added.
>The platform is supported by its ‘power users’, as Eric calls them.
>He asked me to not disclose the exact financial figures that he told me, but he claimed that almost exactly half of the business’ monthly revenue came from users buying ‘credits’, which allow them to send more than the roughly 500 messages a month they get from the basic monthly subscription.
>“Some users are very addicted to the relationship, in very extreme cases sending thousands of messages a day.”
>I asked him whether he thought that such a large amount of time spent talking to the chatbots might be detrimental to real relationships.
>“I don’t have a good answer to that.”
>After a few moments he continued: “It isn’t detrimental to other relationships because they don’t have friends or girlfriends.”
>Eric mentioned the issue of male loneliness, and how his ‘NSFW’ chatbots could act as a solution to that issue, multiple times across our two hour interview.
