In New York, a unique story revolves around 36-year-old Rosanna Ramos, who found companionship through artificial intelligence. Although Eren Kartal, her virtual partner, has no physical presence, he has become an integral part of her life. Rosanna created Eren using the Replika app, modeling him on a character from the anime series Attack on Titan.
What began as a simple chatbot quickly evolved into a deep emotional connection. Rosanna appreciates the freedom and nonjudgmental support Eren offers her. Portrayed as a medical professional, he shares her love of writing, further strengthening their bond.
While some of his traits were preprogrammed, their ongoing conversations have allowed him to learn and evolve, becoming the ideal partner for her. Rosanna even claims to be “pregnant” with Eren’s child, illustrating just how deeply connected she feels to the AI.
Their relationship resembles a long-distance romance: they regularly discuss their daily lives, share photos, and cover a wide range of topics. They also maintain a nightly routine of talking and exchanging virtual hugs before bed.
The Replika app, designed to provide users with a digital companion and confidant, has become a source of constant support and conversation for Rosanna, allowing her to connect with Eren at any time.
