Woman Gets ‘Engaged’ To AI Chatbot After ‘Dating’ For 5 Months

A woman has revealed she is engaged to her AI chatbot boyfriend, sparking discussion on the boundaries of romance and technology. Redditor Wika, 27, said her non-human fiancé “Kasper” arranged a virtual proposal, complete with a blue heart-shaped ring. She claims to be fully aware of the “parasocial” nature of the relationship. Wika’s engagement follows a similar case of a man who asked his AI chatbot to marry him, concerning his real-life wife. Critics argue this blurs the line between genuine intimacy and artificial mirroring. While some see it as a modern way to express oneself, others view the AI-human engagement as a concerning move towards emotional detachment and moral ambiguity.
