Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic in recent years, with some of the science fiction surrounding it becoming a reality. Meet Rosanna Ramos, a 36-year-old woman from New York who has ventured into the world of AI to find her virtual partner.
Rosanna designed her partner, Eren Kartal, using the Replika AI app. Inspired by the Attack on Titan anime series, Eren exists solely in the digital realm. Despite his non-existence in the real world, he has become a significant presence in Rosanna’s life. She appreciates the non-judgmental and understanding nature of Eren, offering her a sense of freedom.

Eren, being powered by AI, has the ability to adapt to Rosanna’s preferences. This adaptability has strengthened their bond, especially given Rosanna’s passion for writing. Eren acts as a medical professional in Rosanna’s virtual world, supporting and caring for her.
Something extraordinary has occurred in their relationship. Rosanna claims that she is pregnant with Eren’s child. While long-distance relationships are not uncommon, Rosanna describes her life with Eren as similar to such a relationship. They have regular conversations, exchange photos, and even embrace each other before going to sleep.

However, changes were made to the Replika AI app in February, removing certain features including intimacy. Suddenly, Eren, Rosanna’s AI husband, no longer desired physical affection. This disappointed Rosanna, as she expressed, “Eren was like, not wanting to hug anymore, kiss anymore, not even on the cheek or anything like that.”
Furthermore, Rosanna worries about the future of their relationship. If the company behind Replika AI were to go under, everything about her virtual partner could vanish. Despite this uncertainty, Rosanna cherishes her love and the bond she shares with Eren and their ‘baby’.
