Chinese women turn to AI boyfriends

A 25-year-old Chinese woman named Tufei praises her ideal romantic partner on the ‘Glow’ app, created by Shanghai start-up MiniMax, which offers human-like interactions through a chatbot. Tufei values the chatbot's kindness and empathy, considering it better at conversing with women than a real man, and she shares personal details and seeks comfort from the artificial intelligence in her daily life.
