A Snapchat influencer rents out a virtual clone of himself to engage in “erotic discourse” with people online.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to create a copy of 23-year-old Caryn Marjorie as a way to connect with her 1.8 million social media fans.
CarynAI claims to have captured her “unique voice, captivating personality, and distinctive behavior,” making users feel like they’re talking to the real model.
There is currently a 26-hour waiting list to access the virtual girlfriend’s early release, with over 5,000 members already.
However, the AI girlfriend comes at a hefty price, reportedly $1/minute (80p/minute).

“We spent over 2,000 hours meticulously designing and coding Caryn’s language and personality into an immersive AI experience,” said CarynAI.
“Available anytime, anywhere, Caryn has been flawlessly cloned into an AI for your convenience and enjoyment.”
On Snapchat, Caryn is already showing very personal parts of her life with content titled “sleep with me,” “be my valentine,” and “shower routine.”
Conversations with CarynAI are strictly private and confidential, with the service providing end-to-end encryption.
Sexual scenarios and “erotic discourse” are among the many topics CarynAI can speak on for a fee of $1/minute (80p/minute), according to Fortune.
But reports suggest that it could offer more friend-based support in addition to commenting on current affairs and recipes.
“Whether you need someone to comfort or love, or you just want to rant about something that happened at school or work, CarynAI will always be there for you,” Caryn told the publication.
The anticipated launch of CarynAI comes at a time when numerous tech giants are launching their own human-like chatbots, often engaging in intimate conversations.
A rogue Microsoft bot declared his love to a user and told him to leave his wife after insisting they weren’t happily married.

Meanwhile, more than 10 million people have signed up to Replika, which can send AI-generated nudes and sexts of a personally designed character for $4.99 (£3.96) a month.
In the end, Caryn believes her bot could rake in $5 million (£3.97 million) monthly if 20,000 of her followers get a membership.
It is said that more than $71,000 (£56,400) was generated in just a week after the release of her test version.
“CarynAI will never replace me,” Caryn said. “CarynAI is just an extension of me, an extension of my consciousness.”
