AXIOS – 1 in 5 single Virginians have had a romantic relationship with an AI companion, according to new Match data. The figure is part of a broader trend: AI use in dating has surged 333% since last year. Other cities report even higher numbers, with 28% in D.C. and 26% in Atlanta. Apps like Replika and Blush are driving the rise, especially among women. While some see this as a new form of connection, experts warn it could impact real-life relationships.
