The Virtual Girlfriend Experience

Finding a romantic partner is a hassle.

From keeping yourself in shape, to spending hours hunting for potential matches on dating apps, to going on countless bad dates, finding your soulmate can be a lot of work…

But Snapchat influencer Caryn Majorie has a solution.

By training an AI chatbot on thousands of hours of her YouTube content, Majorie was able to code her personality and charm into an immersive AI chatbot called CarynAI…

And is now offering a virtual girlfriend experience for $1 a minute.

Caryn’s “boyfriends” can engage in a wide variety of interactions with the chatbot, from casual conversations, to discussing future plans together, all the way up to more “intimate” exchanges.

“Whether you need somebody to be comforting or loving, or you just want to rant about something that happened at school or at work, CarynAI will always be there for you,” said Marjorie.

And before you start to think too highly of humanity…

And think that no one would possibly pay for this type of service…

In just one week of beta testing, CarynAI generated $71,610 in revenue.

But that’s just the beginning.

Majorie expects to be able to get at least 20,000 of her 1.8 million Snapchat followers to sign up for her virtual girlfriend experience, meaning that she’ll be bringing in $5 million per month with the service.

Not bad for a side hustle.

Meta’s New AI Ad Tech

This week Meta (the platform formally known as Facebook) announced the release of it’s AI Sandbox product, a set of AI tools aimed at helping advertisers to create better ads and achieve better performance.

The new AI tools will help write ad copy, suggest headlines, and even generate images- it's like an automated version of Mad Men, but without the cigarettes and three-martini lunches.

In addition to the creator tools, by using machine learning algorithms to analyze user data, consumer preferences, and behavior, this new ad-tech will give advertisers the ability to deliver personalized ads at scale, allowing companies to create hyper targeted ads for individual consumers in order to boost ad performance.

The initial version of the ad tools are current in beta testing, but you can expect to start seeing ads tailor made just for you inside your Facebook and Instagram feeds later this year.

Hunting For Aliens With AI

AI has the potential to completely change society as we know it, from developing breakthrough medications to automating the time consuming tasks that we all hate, but one use case of the new technology stands out as far cooler than the rest:

Hunting for aliens.

After becoming frustrated with the lack of government transparency around UFO phenomena, a group of UFO enthusiasts has started building an open-source AI telescope network in order to find out whether we really are alone in the Universe.

“There's distrust about how governments managed UAP sightings, and that's why taking this into our own hands is necessary,” said Sky360 co-chair Richard G Hopf.

The SkyHub team is looking to create a worldwide network of monitoring stations in the hopes of finding evidence of alien activity, so if you’re looking to get in on the action, you can get your very own Sky360 telescope system for the low low price of $327 dollars.
