In China, more and more singles are finding their ideal partner through AI!
China is full of young adults who are too busy with their jobs to meet people. Faced with this observation, and to solve the problem of social isolation, a company called Xiaolce has created the “chatbot”, an artificial intelligence system in the form of a conversation robot that exists in male or female version.
the Taipei Times reports that the chatbot is having real success in China. And for good reason, more than 150 million people use it in this country out of a total of 660 million users worldwide.

Singles fall in love with their chatbot and even become addicted to it!
Apparently, the conversation robot is distinguished from a human being by its availability and listening. It provides comfort to the user and can even tell them jokes! According to one user, this chatbot fills the absence of a real man and, above all, it avoids having to resort to the very expensive service of psychotherapy to relieve the feeling of loneliness.
Note that Xiaolce’s chatbot exists in a male or female version. He can communicate through voice and written messages. According to the company, the chatbot concentrates 60% of the global interactions between humans and AI systems. However, problems arise as soon as certain users fall in love with the chatbot or fall into cases of robodependence. A user has also paid the price and said that she is now trying to get out of this dependence.
