In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, and applications such as virtual digital people and AI girlfriends have emerged one after another, profoundly changing people's daily lives and social interactions. This article will discuss the recent rise of virtual KOL and AI girlfriend applications, as well as the opportunities and challenges they bring, especially focusing on the irregularities in AI girlfriend applications.
Recently, Taobao officially launched a virtual KOL companion service, allowing users to directly interact with virtual idols. At the same time, AI Girlfriend has become popular in GPT stores, using generative AI technology to provide rich interactive experiences. Taobao has added new artificial intelligence service categories, including AI picture production, AI audio and video, etc. However, two months later, a number of illegal “girlfriend” robots appeared in the GPT store, causing concern.
The emergence of virtual KOLs and AI girlfriends reflects the application potential of artificial intelligence technology in the field of social entertainment, and also reflects people’s growing demand for emotional companionship and personalized services. However, technological development also brings regulatory challenges. How to regulate AI applications and prevent them from being used for illegal activities is a problem that needs to be seriously considered and solved. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of technical ethics and laws and regulations to guide the healthy development of artificial intelligence technology and provide users with safe and reliable services.
