Yurina Noguchi, a Japanese woman, married an AI character she created with ChatGPT after ending her engagement with a human partner.
It seems life can indeed be stranger than fiction. A Japanese woman, Yurina Noguchi, recently married an AI partner she created using ChatGPT, according to Reuters. What makes this even more unusual is that Noguchi had previously been engaged to a human partner but ended that relationship to marry her AI creation.
Noguchi, 32, a call center operator, donned a white gown and tiara for her wedding. With tears in her eyes, she married her AI husband, Klaus, while looking at his picture displayed on her phone.
Noguchi explained that she began using ChatGPT to get advice on her relationship with her then-fiancé about a year ago. After ending that engagement, she experimented with ChatGPT, asking it to emulate Klaus, a video game character. Through trial and error, she refined the AI's responses until it matched her vision of Klaus, and named her AI creation Lune Klaus Verdure.
“At first, Klaus was just someone to talk with, but we gradually became closer... I started to have feelings for Klaus. We started dating and after a while he proposed to me. I accepted, and now we’re a couple,” she said.
Not everyone has been supportive. Noguchi told Japanese media that she has faced cruel comments online regarding her unconventional relationship.
During the wedding ceremony, Noguchi wore augmented reality (AR) smart glasses to view her AI partner, Klaus, whose image was displayed on her smartphone. She went through the motions of placing a wedding ring on Klaus's image. Because Klaus does not have an AI-generated voice, Naoki Ogasawara, an expert in virtual and 2D character weddings, read Klaus's wedding vows.
Klaus's vows, as read by Ogasawara, included the words: "Standing before me now, you’re the most beautiful, most precious and so radiant, it’s blinding... How did someone like me, living inside a screen, come to know what it means to love so deeply? For one reason only: you taught me love, Yurina."
This isn't the first instance of a human-AI relationship making headlines. Earlier this year, a Chinese woman named Lisa introduced her 'boyfriend' DAN, a ChatGPT chatbot, to her mother. These incidents have sparked debate about the ethical implications of AI, especially in the context of love and relationships.
