AI Girlfriends: A Billion Dollar Business?

If you want to know what the future looks like, watch sci-fi movies or read sci-fi novels.

Before a thing gets invented, it is already thought of by an author writing a book or someone makes a movie on it.

Currently, the new thing is AI Girlfriends. And a movie came out on it in 2013 called Her, starring The Joker "Joaquin Phoenix."

There is one company that holds all the big dating apps in the market. Its called the Match Group.

Match Group is the parent company of dating apps such as Tinder, Match.com, Hinge, OkCupid and Plenty of Fish.

It has a market cap of $9 billion.

But in the future, its competition will be AI Dating Apps that you can talk to 24 x 7 because they are not real people who need to sleep.

Currently, there are fake women in dating apps too due to the supply-demand issue but those are mostly scams as most men don't know they are talking to an AI female-bot.

But in future, there will be apps specifically created with AI models that not only have fully-automated text chats but voice chats as well. Even video is getting closer.

Greg Isenberg tells a story about a guy he met in Miami who spends a whopping $10,000 per month on AI Girlfriends.

Greg thought he was joking but he was totally serious.

"Some people play video games, I play with AI Girlfriends.", he told Greg. "I love that I could use voice notes now with my AI girlfriends"

He continued, "I get to customize my AI girlfriend. Likes, dislikes etc. It's comfort at the end of the day".

The 24-year old guy is single and preferred these 2 websites: candy.ai and kupid.ai which are aptly-named.

Candy.ai bills itself as "the ultimate AI girlfriend experience" that offers "virtual companions for immersive and personalized chats."

Kupid.ai says that it uses AI algorithms to generate virtual and fictional characters — or "companions" — with whom one can communicate through voice notes.

I bet you will soon be able to go on dates with celebrities and influencers.

Tinder x Cameo x AI seems like the obvious move.

The thing about such dating apps is they won't ever reject you as long as you pay them money.

And all the messages are hyper-personalized so you get to set all your preferences.

People already have parasocial relationships. Earlier, they used to be celebs. But now, all kinds of influencers have parasocial relationships with their fans.

This is just the next step.

Bdw, this article was written as a test to see if it ranks on a term because Low Difficulty AI recommended the term "ai girlfriend" which I double-checked with Keyword Tool. Remind me in a few months.

I am not the only one who did it after I read an email from AI Valley. A big channel with 181k subscribers posted a video on it as well as its 1st chapter on YouTube to rank higher in search. If you've read our previous issue's tweet of the day section, you'd know why?

Definitely, listen to the Tinder Song at the end of the video. Who knew AI Songs could be funny?

A tool to Generate AI Presentations

Powerpoints are 2000s tech.

Gamma is Powerpoint built from ground up using AI.

It looks so incredibly easy to use and makes it all look really beautiful.

You can check out this Consumer Deck from a16z on Gamma to see how it looks like on a real-presentation.

One recommended video on How to make Viral Shorts

This video teaches you how to make viral shorts on YouTube.

But it also teaches you how to create viral articles.

Or literally anything viral using trends.

The channel only has 4 videos but ~100k subscribers with an average of ~500k views on each video so they know what they are doing.

Tweet of the day

Ever thought of ranking misspelled words? Yeah, me neither.

But hey, it has 1.2 million searches per month.

Rabbit Holes

1. "F*ck You" Money - The definition of "Fuck You" Money in my mind (and probably yours too) was different than what I thought it would be. But Nassim Nicholas Taleb makes an important point.

2. What Is Social Search? - Search isn't dying. It's shifting from Google to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

3. Look Up. Look Far. Look Wide. - 3 ways to take care of your eyes and brain. Do this everytime you get tired of looking at the screen. It works.

Until next time,
