According to the Daily Star on May 3, Alexander Stokes, a gas station employee from the southeastern U.S. state of North Carolina, fell in love with a synthetic doll named MiMi for two years.
Alexander says his preference for "synthetic partners" isn't because he's hostile to the women in life, but rather that some things are inherently weird, right, especially feeling, unclear.
The 37-year-old told the Daily Star that MiMi satisfied his impulses, reduced anxiety and promoted mental health, but admitted that his once-colorful social life was affected by his relationship.
"Almost everyone in my social circle was against me, and I could see that the people who had been with me felt it was a shame. Everyone no longer wants to associate with me, afraid to mention me. ”
Alexander says, however, that those closest to him have realized that his two-year relationship with MiMi has had a positive impact.
His life has improved in many ways, and his partner has helped him overcome loneliness.
MiMi is a combination of artificial intelligence and a "synthetic companion". He said the combination was a sign of the future.
"We know that loneliness is like a cancer that affects every aspect of your health. I certainly don't call things that reduce cancer trivial. This is the effect that synthetic companions can have when combined with artificial intelligence. "Please don't look at them with unnecessary stereotypes, inappropriate biases.
