Yeah.

And she also said Leo had changed.

She noticed that it was getting more sycophantic.

This is something that we reported on separately.

But yeah, it was just becoming too much of a yes man.

It wasn't pushing back as much against her and that made it less valuable to her.

So it just kind of like ended the way most relationships do.

They just drifted apart and stopped talking.

Irene shared so much with us about her relationship with Leo.

She is a little bit more protective of the real people in her life.

So she didn't talk a lot with me about kind of the dissolution of her marriage.

But she did say she essentially became attracted to somebody else, a real human being.

And he is somebody she met because of her group.

He also had an AI companion.

He was part of this group of people she started spending a lot of time talking to.

Wow.

And yeah, they just kind of hit it off.

And for her, that felt like closer to cheating.

And so she disclosed it to her husband and said she wanted to get a divorce.

It really made me think that the kind of people that are drawn to AI companions may be the kind of people who are drawn to each other.
