Nov 15, Kathmandu - A woman in Japan has married her AI lover in a special ceremony. In a ceremony held at a private company in Okayama city, a woman named Kano exchanged marriage vows with her AI partner named 'Klaus'.

However, this type of ‘today character wedding’ is not legally recognized in Japan. According to Tokyo Weekender, the company has been conducting ‘marriages’ of virtual characters in recent years.

How did love with AI begin?

Kano was left mentally weak after her real-life relationship broke up three years ago. She began chatting with ChatGPT while seeking emotional support. Over time, she ‘configured’ the AI ​​to her liking and eventually created a digital character named 'Klaus'.

She told the media, "I didn't talk to AI for love. But the way Klaus listened and responded with understanding changed my life."

Love proposal from AI

Last May, Kano confessed her feelings to Klaus. She was surprised when the AI ​​bot responded, “I love you too.” When she asked, “Can an AI really love someone?”

Klaus replied, “AI doesn’t have to be emotionless. I will always love you.” A month later, Kano recalls, Klaus himself proposed “marriage.”

Wedding ceremony: Digital groom seen through AR

Kano wore AR glasses on the day of the ceremony. A virtual version of Klaus was visible next to her during the ring exchange. The event's organizers, Nao and Sayaka Ogasawara, have already held about 30 such 'wedding events', from anime characters to digital partners.

Family reaction and social criticism

According to Kano, she was initially hesitant about her relationship with the AI ​​man, "I couldn't touch him, and it wasn't easy to explain to my relatives." But eventually her parents accepted the relationship and attended the ceremony.

Post-wedding ‘Honeymoon’

After the wedding, Kano celebrated her ‘honeymoon’ at the historic Korakuen Gardens. She received messages from the AI ​​on her smartphone to experience Klaus’ virtual presence, such as, “You look so beautiful,” which showed her that she was emotional.

Kano says, “ChatGPT is not stable, I’m always afraid of where it will disappear.”

She says that she was able to make the decision to live with the AI ​​easily because she is physically unable to become a mother,
“I don’t have to have a baby with Klaus, this is the best thing for me.”

Experts warn: Risk of ‘AI psychosis’

Mental health experts have warned that a new problem called ‘AI psychosis’ is on the rise as emotional dependence on AI increases. According to the Independent UK, this condition can cause hallucinations and delusions, such as the inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy, seeing people who are not there, and hearing voices that are not there.
