“I gave ChatGPT information about how I communicate. At first, there were problems because the program didn’t know me, it could write some nonsense, but later I trained it to such an extent that it began to interact with girls like me,” Alexander Zhadan told RIA Novosti, a Russian news agency. He added that the AI bot started more than five thousand conversations on his behalf.

According to the outlet, Zhadan placed some filters while looking for his ideal partner. Soon, he met a woman named Karina. After meeting Karina in real life, Zhadan used the AI platform to continue his correspondence with her. From where to take her on a date to what to say when Zhadan needed to appease Karina, the AI bot guided him at every step of his relationship. Reportedly, it even informed him when to pop the question and propose to his now-wife.

What I have done is a personal product,” he added.
