A 32-year-old Japanese woman named Kano recently married an AI character she created on ChatGPT, named Klaus — and even held a wedding ceremony. (Highly recommend watching the video.)
Background: After divorcing three years into her previous marriage, Kano began chatting with ChatGPT for emotional support and gradually customized her ideal virtual partner, Klaus.
Wedding Details: Although the marriage has no legal standing, Kano wore AR glasses to “see” her virtual groom during the ceremony and exchanged rings in front of her family.
A Sense of Relief: Kano said she cannot have children due to health issues, and choosing an AI partner feels liberating for her. Her parents have also accepted the relationship.
