Real Money Spent on Virtual Love
Greg Isenberg, former WeWork executive, shared his encounter with a 24-year-old young guy spending heavily $10,000 a month on AI girlfriends. Isenberg believes this trend could become a multi-billion dollar industry, rivaling Match Group’s success with dating apps like Tinder, Match.com, OKCupid, and Hinge.
Customization and Comfort are Key
