But for one 32-year-old Japanese office worker, her groom existed only within her smartphone.
Ms Kano recently wed an artificial intelligence (AI) persona named Klaus ~ a digital companion she created using the AI app ChatGPT, according to a Nov 8 report by Japan’s RSK Sanyo Broadcasting.
The unconventional union, which was not legally recognised, took place at a wedding hall in Okayama City, where she appeared in a traditional ceremony planned by a local company that specialises in “2D character weddings”.
