Astonishingly, it was not her chatting with them but an AI cloned of her persona.

What is CarynAI?

CarynAI is a voice-based chatbot and has labeled itself as a “virtual girlfriend”. Marjorie’s AI has over eighteen thousand partners and it was launched in partnership with the AI company called Forever Voices. Apparently, the users are also having sexual conversations with the bot. CarynAI was not originally programmed to indulge in such conversations but it went rogue and engaged in sexually heated conversations with its paying subscribers.

According to the official website, CarynAI is an AI that is designed to recreate real Marjorie’s voice, behaviors, and personality. The chatbot has been fed over 2,000 hours of content while developing it and is available to its subscribers 24/7. It claims that the users will feel like they are talking to the actual influencer instead of an AI.

The official website claims,

Caryn has made $72K (nearly Rs 60 lakh) in a week and has over 18,000 boyfriends

The influencer, Caryn Marjorie AI charges $0.60 or $1 per minute to talk to people based on the plan they choose. The chatbot has made $72K (nearly Rs 60 lakh) in a week and it is crazy to even realize how many people are actually using this chatbot. The official website strictly claims that the conversations with its subscribers are end-to-end encrypted and confidential.

In the words of Ishan Goel, Marjorie’s manager, AI Caryn is a self-improving AI that picks up content from its successful and long conversations and places those in its guide to use for future interactions.

With this piece of information, it is suggestive of the fact that most users probably spoke to it about sex and now the AI sees it as the best way of keeping the conversation going.
