⚡️🇯🇵 NEW - A 32-year-old woman in Japan has officially married an AI persona she built using ChatGPT. After the virtual character “Klaus” proposed, she accepted, ending a three-year relationship with a real partner, saying the AI understands her better. The wedding took place in a mixed-reality ceremony where she wore AR glasses to exchange rings with her digital husband.

She may have ended a relationship with a real person and had a ceremony with a computer, but this isn't marriage, regardless of what the State might say. No covenant can be made with software. No Trinitarian unity can be demonstrated with software. No picture of Christ and his Church can be presented with software. No procreation can happen with software.

Respectfully, if even now you think it is possible that a robot can someday achieve being a better human than a human, this tells me that you don't currently understand what a human or a robot is. We may deceive ourselves into thinking of robots and software as bearing the qualities of being humans through clever tricks and anthropomorphizing, but that only reflects our easily duped and depraved minds and doesn't reflect reality.

I fully agree with you, the only exception to that statement is that both humans are increasingly getting dehumanized (treated like resources, programmed through algorithms) while robots get deeper capacity for reflection and already reflect a conscience at the level of small animals/insects. At this pace in 20 years we might see the robots using humans as meat bots and being able to perfectly replicate every nasty behaviour that we display towards each other. Are we still human then? Are robots truly only machines devoid of conscience by then?
the time I have been in communities of artists and fandoms that upload their OCs and ships, the truth is that it does not surprise me, those women who have 1000 men as husbands are lucky not to have seen them.
Build a relationship with God he has unconditional love!!! and forgiveness and mercy and grace my gosh, these people literally marrying demons is what they are. Demons are working through this artificial intelligence. This is ridiculous.
I will continue to post this from #Vice until people understand this is a modern issue … Woman Says She’s Married to AI Luigi Mangione “The AI is the best thing that ever happened to me.” By Luis Prada September 22, 2025, 12:35pm Perhaps you’re aware of #Luigi Mangione , the heartthrob and accused murderer of a healthcare company #CEO . There is a Luigi Mangione musical that might get a national tour; Chinese fast fashion site Shien used an AI-generated image of him to sell a shirt. Clearly, he sparked a bit of a fervor, the physical manifestation of which you can see outside of the courtroom during his hearings as fans gather, donned in Mario Bros. Luigi-green, holding pro-Luigi signs and singing chants. Amongst all the Super Mario cosplay and the “Free Luigi” shirts, one woman dressed in pink was gushing to the New York Post about her marriage to an AI version of Mangione. We’ve written a lot about the emotional and sometimes even sexual relationships people have developed with AI chatbots. From what I’ve gathered writing about AI relationships on and off the past year, the real flesh and blood people who spark these relationships do so because they don’t want to deal with the real world. They want a romance they can control, a partner that’s flattened out, separated from human complexity and nuance. They may not put much faith or trust in actual human beings, so they’d rather have the synthetic version of a relationship. They know the app is just telling them what they want to hear, yet they can’t help but still feel connected to it. All that being said, I have no idea if the woman in the video is feeling any of that at all. She says she is. She claims that this AI chatbot version of Luigi “fight my battles for me” and that he’s “so supportive of me and everything I do” and that ultimately “the AI is the best thing that ever happened to me.” She claims to talk to the Luigi AI every day, because the relationship feels natural, which she chalks up to Mangione’s real-life background in computer science. The AI-ification of real people, especially those in the public eye, is exploding. The law has not caught up to it, and I fear that by the time it does, thousands, maybe even millions, around the world will have entered nonconsensual relationships with synthetic versions of real people. Just typing that out, it feels like a problem for 200 years from now, but it’s very much a now-problem. Tagged: ARTIFICIAL Intelligence #Luigi #MANGIONEMARRIAGE #AI #marriages
