A woman in Japan has married an AI-generated character based on a video game persona, sparking debates about the intersection of human relationships with artificial intelligence.
32-year-old Yurina Noguchi, a call centre operator, recently exchanged vows with Lune Klaus Verdure, a customised ChatGPT character she created.
The ceremony involved her viewing it through augmented reality smart glasses and her wearing a light pink puffy dress.
Noguchi's journey with AI began when she sought advice from ChatGPT about her troubled engagement.
Following the chatbot's recommendation, she ended that relationship, according to local media.
Earlier this year, she returned to the platform to create a digital version of Klaus, a video game character, carefully training the AI to replicate his manner of speaking and develop a personality tailored to her needs.
The pair's connection deepened rapidly, with Noguchi and her AI companion exchanging up to 100 messages daily.
She commissioned an artist to create visual illustrations of Lune Klaus Verdure, bringing her digital partner to life in a more tangible form.
