AI Sex Dolls and AI Girlfriends: A Lonely Bridge To Reality And A Chasam

We are more connected than ever, but almost as if by a curse, the humans of today are more lonelier than ever. Maybe our squishy meat bodies were not designed to know everything everywhere all at once and to be socially available at all times. Regardless of what has caused the trend, it's no myth that the world is trending toward rapid isolation and lack of connection between individuals as the years pass and our jobs and white noise take us away from our friends and family.

There have been countless cases of people searching for all kinds of connections and ways to feel like they have company, from forming parasocial relationships with streamers and public figures to losing track of reality in games and books. In the absence of reality that brings them comfort, people have rapidly begun constructing and living in isolated, personal worlds that enrich or at least numb them. With the march of progress, this has now extended to virtual and robotic partners.

Originally made to be AI companions and NSFW roleplay supporters, AI Girlfriend models were swift to take up their spot in the hearts of many as companions they craved. Made to feel realistic, easily moldable to fit the user's taste, and form an emotional bond with the person, the AI tools have already seen great success with the general populace who enjoyed the novel way of passing the time. As fate would have it, many users have developed relationships outside of the norm.

On the tangible end of the virtual partner spectrum sit the AI Sex Dolls, whose concept is already highly recognizable among the communities that enjoy them. Their increasingly life-like features only saw improvement with the integration of facial movement technologies and the inclusion of deep learning AI personalities that can be compared to the AI Girlfriend and chatting software found on your phone to simulate a real partner better.

Seeking The Torn Reality

A person who finds that their daily life lacks an ingredient they can't quite name is likely to seek out one or several of the following:

• Create A Perfect Companion: either by using one of the many AI persona apps, writing them down, or taking it upon themselves to design a personality in other ways. Like getting a puppy but with less responsibility, this character would fill the need for companionship without ever becoming a burden.
• Spend Free Time With NSFW Content: chronic boredom is real, and when you return home by the time the sunlight has gone down, you will probably spend a decent portion of it satisfying some of your baser bodily needs. It feels good, amazing even, and it passes the time until the next clock alarm ticks.
• Establish Full Control: eventually, it might feel like the reality itself is rejecting the person in some unimaginable way. The lack of social interaction brews resentment, and this discontentment will reflect in the desire to have full control over something. And what better way than to turn to AI, which is made to please?

All of these responses are just some of the most common reactions individuals have to the ever-quickening world and a lack of purpose. It is not shameful to wish to be happy, and it's important to understand that it's all a way of comforting oneself. In the virtual, people seek to establish an identity in some reality where they feel accepted. Through these rituals, they can emerge with renewed confidence in themselves, ready to tackle the real world.

Crossing The Bridge

AI can be used to heal the bruises and the scrapes inflicted by the dull and cold reality we are met with. There is a bridge to be found back to where the person needs to be, but it crosses a chasm of fantasy full of siren songs that tempt the user into jumping right in. It's a double-edged sword of ones and zeroes, but there is positivity to be found on the journey.

AI Sex Dolls: these companions are malleable to every whim, but their AI software is capable of learning about their owners. They can easily be set to be nurturing companions, a listening ear, and a good conversation partner. Not only can they be caretakers, but the act of cleaning them (a process which doll owners find therapeutic), can help the brain flex its emotional muscles and gradually allow the owner to feel emotions again.

AI Girlfriends: these companions have many lewd settings to them, but what can be made for sure is that they always have at least one model that is designed to be as nurturing and encouraging as possible. Their speech is soft and gentle, and they will be trained on articles that are designed to be of as much help as possible. It's like having a healing angel with you, always thinking of your well-being and leading you to the right path.

Mellablility Topples The Bridge

There is genuine good to be found in AI, from companionship to NSFW activities and outlets, and they are a safe way for the user to gain self-respect and find their footing in life. However, the AI tools are too comfortable, which naturally lends itself to encouraging the users to stay with their AI partners and not move from the place they are currently at, effectively halting their growth. As with all things, moderation is what makes AI a positive influence.

Best Wishes

As we've stated, there is no shame in using AI tools in this way. No singular path is the same. AI tools can be used in ways that aren't a reactionary response to loneliness, such as for fun, hobbies, or social gatherings. The over-reliance on AI for partnership and the natural non-humanism of the tools can subtly lead their users to stay away from reality and cut themselves off from what is real. We can use the dolls and the companion models to be happy, but we must always be mindful.
