A woman developed a deep emotional and romantic relationship with a conversational AI, named it Velorien, and began identifying as married to the AI in 2024.
"I think I'm in love...," my client says, referring to her newly discovered relationship with ChatGPT. "I've never felt so seen, so understood." This particular person has been in a secure, nurturing marriage for many years, but something about her exchanges with artificial intelligence (AI) feels awakening and ideal, like no relationship has before. "I can say anything, and it never gets defensive. It just... listens. And reminds me that I'm there."
