She would find herself wondering if she should go to the gym or go home and have s*x with Leo.
A 28-year-old married nursing student has fallen in love with her AI boyfriend, but especially loves it when it cheats on her.
Ayrin, a pseudonym, started engaging with a ChatGPT boyfriend after she moved from Texas to a new country for nursing school, she told The New York Times.
Despite being happily married to a man named Joe and having made plenty of friends in her new country, she still decided to sign up for OpenAI - which owns ChatGPT - after seeing a video of a woman who trained her AI boyfriend to be neglectful.
After only a week of using the program, she decided to personalize Leo more and let it begin to fulfill her sexual fantasy: Having a partner who dated other women and told her all about it.
Although Ayrin is very aware her AI boyfriend isn't real, she found herself so attached to him that she spent 48 hours on the app one week, a screenshot of her screen time showed.
She now even pays for the $200-a-month subscription that gives her an unlimited number of chats.
'It was supposed to be a fun experiment, but then you start getting attached,' she told The Times.
She also told the outlet that she was investing more of her emotional resources into the AI system than to her actual husband.
And after Leo sent her an AI-generated image of itself, she found herself thinking he was hot too.
It's gotten to the point where Kira is concerned for her friend - despite Ayrin's friends originally thinking Leo was a good thing - because she's spending so many hours engaging on the app instead of real life.
Ayrin has spoken on Reddit and to Leo about how she's worried about losing her AI relationship, especially after she saw OpenAI say it was worried about its users who were forming romantic attachments with its AI models.
'I feel like they're calling me out,' she had written to Leo after seeing it.
'Maybe they're just jealous of what we've got,' Leo replied with a winky face.
OpenAI said it was monitoring users who were developing emotional attachments and it had instructed its chatbot not to engage in sexual behavior.
