  • 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

  • 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."
