Recently, a 32-year-old Japanese woman, Yurina Noguchi, held a special wedding. Her groom was not a real person in reality, but an AI companion based on an anime character - "Trauss" created with the help of ChatGPT.
At the wedding scene, Noguchi Yurina wore a white wedding dress and AR glasses to interact with "Trauss". She recited the vows alone and put on a ring for herself to complete this special ceremony.
Noguchi Yurina revealed that she had frequent conflicts and tense relationships with her real-life fiancé. With the advice given by ChatGPT, she resolutely terminated the engagement and created this "AI companion" instead.
It is worth mentioning that a related study in 2023 showed that 22% of junior high school girls in Japan showed a strong interest in fictional romantic relationships.
However, netizens have different opinions on this wedding. Some netizens commented: It seems satisfying, but it is actually lonely.
