1. AI Girlfriends
What if your perfect partner was an algorithm? Cody Dahler and Adrian Gray investigate AI girlfriends, and why falling for a chatbot might be more common than you think.
She's beautiful. She's attentive. She laughs at all your jokes. She never steals the duvet, never asks where the relationship is going and, best of all, she's available 24 hours a day. She's also not real.
Welcome to the world of AI girlfriends: a booming industry where people are forming romantic relationships with artificial intelligence. Cody Dahler and Adrian Gray investigate who's falling for these virtual partners, who's cashing in on the loneliness economy, and whether we're heading towards a future where the perfect partner is just a monthly subscription away.
Not My Problem sees online satirists Cody Dahler and Adrian Gray investigate things that seem weird, distant or just plain disgusting. Things you thought had nothing to do with you... that are quietly changing your habits, culture, and the way you see the world. They uncover why the stuff happening 'over there' might just be... your problem.
