Available for a few days, the application store powered by ChatGPT gives pride of place to virtual robots.
After the success of the film Her with Scarlett Johanson and Joaquin Phoenix, many spectators hope one day that a voice generated by artificial intelligence will give rhythm to their lives.
Some developers have apparently taken this expectation literally, so much so that in recent months, there have been countless applications of this type, even if we are still very far from Samantha, the young woman accompanying the hero of the film. Spike Jonze. But this is mainly done outside the rules of the store launched last week by OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT.
“Virtual sweethearts” with ChatGPT
As spotted by the American media Quartz this application store, called GPTStore, offers multitudes of artificial intelligence in the form of a virtual girlfriend. To do this, simply enter “girlfriend” in the search bar and find that it only takes a little while to find the chatbots in question.
Among the examples cited by our colleagues, we can notably note the presence of a “Korean girlfriend” or a “virtual sweetheart”, an “adorable virtual young woman”, and even “your girlfriend Scarlett”, in reference to Her . Some of these AIs already have several hundred followers, and they all start the same way. You are asked to describe “the girl of your dreams” or to confide “your darkest secret”, and a conversation is started.

An epidemic of loneliness in the United States
Applications for connecting with a fake virtual girlfriend have been criticized for several months, particularly in the United States. The country is facing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, several studies reveal.
According to investigation carried out by an association of doctors, more than one in two Americans report suffering from loneliness. Artificial intelligence, while it can help the population in certain cases, can also plunge vulnerable people into discomfort with sometimes terrible consequences.
For its part, OpenAI now allows all developers to take advantage of its artificial intelligence to offer it in personalized forms, dedicated to specific tasks, in its application store. But according to the latter’s rules, it is prohibited to offer artificial intelligence promising a personal relationship.
The company has not commented on these shortcomings, and the incriminated chatbots are still available at the time of writing these lines.
