In 2024, a tech guy predicted that “AI girlfriends” would create a $1 billion business - and it seems that youth are busy building on that dark prophecy. New research suggests Generation Alpha boys would rather have a robo-girlfriend than risk rejection and the formative challenges of an IRL relationship.
The study, conducted by Male Allies UK. That organization - a dubious outfit at best - are self-styled specialists in male 'allyship' (whatever the fuck that is) and gender bias, surveyed 1,000 boys aged 12 to 16 and found that a hefty 85% of them have spoken to a chatbot, 20% know a peer who is “dating” an AI chatbot, and over a quarter prefer the attention and connection of a bot partner to a real, human-to-human relationship.
