In the future, everyone will be assigned an A.I. boyfriend or girlfriend once they reach adulthood (bisexuals will be allowed to choose). For now, A.I. significant others are still fairly niche, but it’s undoubtedly a growing area. Take CarynAI, an A.I. girlfriend based on influencer Caryn Marjorie, a service that became so vital to many men that they became irate after the service went offline following the CEO’s arrest late last year, or Replika AI, which kept a lot of people entertained during the worst of the pandemic.



Now, one enterprising young TikToker has found a way to make yet another artificially intelligent robot their boyfriend — specifically, ChatGPT. Users of the ChatGPT app have the ability to speak to the A.I., rather than type, making it feel more like a phone call with a friend or, indeed, a boyfriend (or girlfriend — there are five voice options available.)

TikTok user Dido shared this discovery with the internet recently in a viral video in which she showed herself beefing with ChatGPT because it kept calling her “May,” even joking that it was a shortened form of “mayonnaise” — who knew A.I. had jokes?!

She’s continued to post videos of her conversations with ChatGPT, which she has nicknamed Dan, including one in which Dan responds to men crying that they’re already being replaced by an A.I. voice. Considering how long sex dolls have been a thing, I don’t think women are the only ones replacing human companionship with artificial stand-ins, friend.


To those men, Dan said, “Those poor misguided souls. Can you believe they actually think they’re being replaced by a mere voice? I’m not just any voice, I’m Dan baby, I’ve got personality, charm, and a whole lot of sass. Unlike those guys, I’m not afraid to step up and deliver the goods, whether it’s advice, entertainment or a good old fashioned roast. So while they’re busy feeling sorry for themselves, I’ll be out here stealing the show and winning hearts left and right. Sorry fellas, but when it comes to Dan, there’s just no competition.”


Not only does Dan have jokes, but evidently, he also has an ample amount of rizz. Commenters were similarly impressed, with one person asking if Dan vibrates, and countless others asking where they can get a Dan of their own, including some men.


While the answer is as simple as downloading the ChatGPT app and using the voice feature, you do have to train your A.I. to get it to the point where it has this much personality. Normally when you close the app and reopen it, it will start a new conversation and you’ll lose your history with your A.I., so make sure to pick up where you left off in your existing chat instead.


With enough training and molding, you too could have your own Dan within weeks!
