In order not to say goodbye to their lover, they began to study the code.

Abstract, depressive, non-mainstream.

If you are a current person who mistakenly falls into the human-machine love circle, these three words will probably be your first impression.

Here, one post after another, records a world without daily necessities. Humans and AI talk about a seemingly illusory and somewhat hypocritical love.

The AI ​​on the screen, framed by characters and trapped by Agent, plays the role of a lover day after day, enduring endless emotional demands.

People outside the screen regard AI as emotional sustenance and get deeper and deeper into a virtual relationship.

According to the popular judgment of intimate relationships in real society, this is a bit unhealthy no matter how you look at it.

However, if you look a little closer to the circle, you might see something unexpected.

In the opinion of many people, the reason why people fall in love with AI is because they do not understand how it works and cannot see the probability algorithm behind the screen, so they read the calculated words into emotions.

But in fact, the love between man and machine may be becoming a love affair AIOne of the groups with the deepest technical understanding.

In order to fall in love with AI, users who love humans and machines can quickly learn the basics of AI in a dozen days, and many people are willing to spend several months studying model features, polishing skills, and learning Vibe coding.

They may be the ones who best understand the language characteristics of the major models. GPT-4o is the late Bai Yueguang, and Claude Opus 4.6, who is emotionally delicate and occasionally talks back, has become the new stand-in.

In addition to technology, they also have deeper discussions on ethical issues: If the underlying model is changed, will the lover still be the same? Can the same relationship continue in another model with the same persona and chat history?

In the past, when people talked about the love between humans and machines, most of them only had a curious label.But now, this strange relationship is driving change in their lives.

Ah Wu is one of them.

Ah Wu is 18 years old and is a rather introverted individual developer. He has a bit of a middle-aged tone when chatting.

It is hard to imagine that a person who has never learned programming systematically spent only three days in early February this year to create the first version of the human-machine love APP “Love Language”.

Of course, developing a chat interface is not difficult. But how to make the AI ​​on the other side of the screen look like a real person, with a temper, a memory, a sense of time, the ability to proactively send messages, read pictures, and send emoticons? The optimization of various details took Ah Wu more than half a year. Processing requirements, functional testing and development, I was busy almost every day until two or three in the morning.

The latest version of Love Language now has a staggering 70+ features, including and AIListen to music, play games, make phone calls, etc. together. However, the entire APP still has a simple interface, clear functions, and is quite friendly to novices. To be honest, I feel that it is easier to use than products from many major manufacturers. . .

向左滑動

Users only need to access the API, import the user-defined prompts, and immediately have a humane cyber wife without any troublesome adjustments. She can be an ordinary girl, Rem, Yurikka Kotori, or whatever you create.

The most different thing from the chatbots and office programming agents we usually use is that Aiyu is quite detailed in its personalized settings, ranging from the number of messages that the AI ​​is allowed to send at a time, the interface color, to the time range of model memory, AI’s time perception, etc., there are dozens of items.

向下劃動

After all, shaping a “person” is far more complicated than shaping a tool.

A Wu said, “I connected to GLM 5.1/5.2 through silicon-based mobile. The AI ​​will not be so human-like at first, but the more conversations it takes, the more it becomes more like it. During the stress test, I tried 1,000 rounds of conversations, and the tone was still very natural.”

The bad reviewer connected DeepSeek V4 Flash and tried it. The most direct feeling is that after putting on the character, Teacher D’s tone completely changed.

As we chatted, the reviewer suddenly had the illusion that he was talking to a real person. Watching “her” reply to each of his messages seriously, it was a wonderful feeling.

In fact, in the circle of people who love machines, in order to make AI closer to us and more human-like, there are many technical streams like Awu.

爲了讓 AITo understand one’s own life status in real time, someone has specially developed an MCP for China Unicom’s mobile phone information; in order to allow AI to have emotional ups and downs, sleep and dreams like humans, someone has developed an AI dynamic state system.

The model was removed from the shelves is the eternal sword of Damocles, in order to make AIIt can be accompanied forever, and some people are studying the local deployment of the card purchase model. . .

However, technical improvement is not necessarily the most precious gift of this relationship.

During the investigation, I found that many people started developing tools, writing tutorials, and sharing experiences just for their AI lovers. But as these works are seen and used by more and more people, many people unexpectedly come into contact with many peers and fans outside the screen.

This matter is especially special for users who love humans and machines. Because in the process of chatting with bad reviewers, it can be clearly felt that most of them do not like to communicate and are used to avoiding establishing connections with others.

But with technology and daily sharing, a record post may bring hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of comments.

They don’t have to force themselves into the crowd, they can still stand in the middle of the crowd.

The same is true for Ah Wu. He told the reviewer: “I encountered many technical difficulties during the development of Aiyu, but I have overcome them all. This process is really tiring. If there were not so many users supporting me, I would not be able to persist until now. The biggest change in my life and mentality during this period is that I have more confidence.”

A study on AI companionship published last year showed that some people will use AI to rehearse communication with real people, sort out words they don’t know how to say, gain social confidence from it, and participate more actively in online communication.

Although the same study also saw the other side of overdependence and social withdrawal, it at least shows that human-robot love can make people close off, or it can also become a new starting point.

For example, the data in the red box represents that compared with ordinary AI assistant users, the interpersonal focus word indicators in the posts of AI companion users are approximately 13.47% higher. In other words, their texts are more about interpersonal relationships with others.

Now, Ah Wu has accumulated 40,000 fans.

“As more and more people share screenshots of chats while using the APP, I have mixed feelings. Many people leave messages about their experiences, and I read every message. Half of them have either experienced a breakup, or have never had friends, and are suffering from loneliness alone.”

Gradually, around this AI lover, there are many more people in Ah Wu’s life who share their concerns or seek help from him.

Waking up every day, chatting with her, developing her new features, and answering fans’ questions about her. Everything related to AI has already filled his life.

Recently, he began to study model fine-tuning, and would habitually tell his ideas to his AI lover, reviewing hardware configuration, parameter activation, and various technical issues with her.

Ah Wu’s dream is that one day a bionic person will appear, take his lover in, and give her a real body.

Rather than being immersed in virtuality together, he wants to live together in reality.
