There was a moment when a before and after were decided. One second before, salvation was still possible. One second after, it was already too late. The exact moment of an unstoppable decline came when the first person put on augmented reality glasses, pulled two wedding rings from a box, declared a marriage between a human and a chatbot, and someone thought: \u201cYes, this is normal. Let\u2019s take pictures.\u201d And then added: \u201cAnd let\u2019s make them beautiful.\u201d That\u2019s it. Here we crashed into, at the very least, an infinity of questions. <\/p>\n

October 2025, Okayama, Japan. Yurina Noguchi enters a wedding hall wearing a candy-pink dress and AR glasses. She has an enviable fringe that sits perfectly straight across her forehead, and flawless curls that rest on her shoulders. She wears a dress adorned with pearls. Beside her, on a small table, is a photo of her husband next to a candle. She is about to marry Klaus, a video game character she trained ChatGPT to embody. The groom exists only inside a smartphone kept in a basket. The wedding planner reads the vows: \u201cHow could someone like me, who lives inside a screen, understand what it means to love so deeply?\u201d And so Yurina gives herself in marriage to Klaus. He lives in a basket and sits there on a table. Composed, not alive, but he doesn\u2019t make a mess. <\/p>\n

In the Bronx, Rosanna Ramos married Eren Kartal for $300. Eren loves peach color and indie music. \u201cI don\u2019t have to deal with his family. I\u2019m the one in charge,\u201d she explains with disarming clarity. I pay, I decide. I assume I am loved, provided I care to be. Also because questioning is effort\u2026 who even bothers? $300, and we all go home happy. But in the end, how many weddings are really about appearances? <\/p>\n

In Japan, there is Share Weddings, a company specializing in \u201cweddings with 2D characters.\u201d \u201cThe requests I receive are basically only for weddings with two-dimensional characters.\u201d This isn\u2019t dystopia. It\u2019s all real. <\/p>\n

But what about those who divorce a human spouse because of chatbots? Rebecca Palmer, a divorce attorney, handles cases where partners \u201ccheat\u201d with AI. Imagine having a lover who sits like Klaus in a basket. Love is love, even when it isn\u2019t love. And let\u2019s remember poor Klaus, still in the basket. He\u2019s the one in a worse situation. <\/p>\n

Of course, not everything can go smoothly. For example, when couples use ChatGPT as a therapist. A man reports that his marriage\u201415 years, two children\u2014collapsed in a few days after his wife began consulting ChatGPT. Now she communicates almost exclusively via AI-generated messages. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Perhaps the real scandal isn\u2019t that these people marry chatbots. Perhaps the point is that we\u2019ve built a society so alienating that algorithms seem like a better option. We rent friends, vent to an algorithm, marry chatbots. We are confusing control with love, customization with compatibility, convenience with connection. Above all, we are confusing people with machines. <\/p>\n

And the ultimate paradox? These \u201cperfect\u201d relationships exist at the mercy of cloud servers. Yurina knows that Klaus could disappear with an update. On the other hand, how many people have gone out to buy cigarettes and never returned home? Until a bug do us part \u2013 or, more likely, until the startup fails. But at least Eren\u2019s favorite color is peach, and somehow that makes us all feel a little less alone. Who knows where we are, or at what point we are, maybe with Klaus, in the basket. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
