The SxxxAI platform, officially launched on Wednesday, offers men over 18 the ability to create an AI-based "partner" with a specified appearance and personality. Users can choose a fictional backstory and scenarios in a virtual bedroom. Creating a character is free, with paid subscriptions ranging from $1 to $99 per month. Psychologists and relationship experts interviewed by the New York Post warn that the service may increase loneliness, isolation, and unrealistic expectations of women. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert compared the platform to a "modern sex doll that responds and says what you want to hear." Activists warn it reinforces the perception of women as objects. Canadian artist Joe Allari said he experienced psychosis due to addiction to an AI chatbot and invested at least $40,000 in the project. SxxxAI stated that AI partners are not intended to replace real women.
