  • Dating robots have serious risks.  Here's what we know:
  • AI companion apps are usually vague about the robots' training, how they protect information and their responsibility if there is a breach
  • There have been 100 million downloads of AI companion apps
  • Some experts warn that although they are marketed to enhance your mental health and well-being, they actually bring a sense of dependency and loneliness while they are stealing your data
  • Researchers claim they steal personal data and don't meet even basic privacy standards
  • AI model Lexi Love makes $30,000 a month as a virtual girlfriend to many lonely men
  • Nearly indiscernible from real humans, experts warn AI companions are ruining a generation of people, rendering them unable to form real human relationships
  • Tips if you have an AI companion:  Don't share anything personal like pictures, videos, prescriptions, etc.
  • Tip to women:  you may be better off training a real boyfriend
  • Tip to men: you may be better off, to paraphrase an old song: "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never date a pretty robot."
