AI companionship

A recent survey reveals over half of American adults consider romantic or sexual involvement with AI a form of infidelity. AI companions offer dynamic, personalized experiences that mimic intimacy, challenging traditional notions of cheating. Notably, married and engaged individuals are more likely to use AI romance apps than singles. While definitions vary, approximately 71.7% express discomfort or label AI interactions as cheating, highlighting the need for couples to establish new boundaries in this evolving technological landscape. Loneliness, not sex, is the primary driver for AI companion usage.
