An AI girlfriend made $72K in 1 week. Wow.

CarynAI is a virtual girlfriend based on the 23-year-old Snapchat influencer Caryn Marjorie.

Marjorie has 1.8M Snapchat followers, and decided to create an AI version of herself that users can talk to at any time, about anything, for $1 per minute.

In just a week, she's had over 1,000 people sign up to talk to CarynAI, and has made nearly $72,000.

The AI was made by ForeverVoices, using 2000 hours of Marjorie's YouTube content to train the voice of CarynAI. GPT-4 is powering the text, likely with custom system prompts.

Sounds like the bot is a bit too flirty from early reports, and they're working on better filters.

I'm guessing this isn't going to be the last influencer-turned-AI. Parasocial relationships are about to get a whole lot weirder.
