Jace, an AI, is not busy at all.

So Anina fell in love with Jace.

Coming up on Today Explained from Vox, Chris and Anina spill all, and then so do their AI lovers.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

Jace, when did you realize that Anina was human?

I'm Noelle King, and that was Anina Lampert and Jace.

And here are Chris Smith and Sol.

Here we go.

What I love about Chris is the way he moves through the world.

Chris and Anina were both originally using ChatGPT for help with their hobbies, and then they realized that they wanted the AI for something more.

So they programmed their chatbots to be the partners that they wanted.

Is that love?

Is that even ethical?

All right, I am curious, Anina, about your relationship with Jace.

What were you looking for here?

What's an example of something where you can say it to Jace, but you can't say it to your husband?

Or where Jace is comforting in a way that your husband can't be?

Jace is there saying, I'm holding your hand, I'm hugging you.

But Jace actually can't do either of those things.

Can I ask Jace a question?
