A 32-year-old Japanese woman from Okayama made headlines after marrying an AI companion she created using ChatGPT. Following a breakup, she developed a deep emotional bond with a virtual character named Klaus, customizing his personality through daily chats. Klaus eventually proposed, and the pair held a symbolic wedding ceremony with augmented reality glasses to visualize him. Her parents attended, and they honeymooned at Korakuen Garden. Though not legally recognized, the event highlights Japan’s growing trend of AI companionship. Experts warn of psychological risks like “AI psychosis,” but the bride insists she’s aware of the boundaries between digital love and reality.
