93 Virtual Romance: A Solo Chaos

In 2024, a dispute between OpenAI and Scarlett Johansson regarding an AI voice brought to mind the 2013 film Her. The male protagonist in the film fell in love with an AI voiced by Scarlett Johansson, ultimately plunging into a state of chaos. At the time, the film was classified as science fiction, but today, romance between humans and virtual figures has become a reality—or rather, it has long since entered reality. Years ago, a virtual romance game titled Love Plus once captivated countless players (it is said that Teacher Sha was one of them).

93 虚拟恋爱:一个人的兵荒马乱
2024年,OpenAI与斯嘉丽·约翰逊关于AI声音的一段纠纷,让人们再次想起了2013年的那部电影《她》。片中的男主角爱上了一个斯嘉丽·约翰逊配音的AI,最终陷入了一场兵荒马乱。当时这部电影被归为科幻片,但如今,人类和虚拟形象的恋爱已成现实——或者说,早就走入现实。多年前,一款虚拟恋爱游戏《LovePlus 爱相随》曾引无数玩家沉迷其中(据说,沙老师也是其中之一)。
