Recently, a 36-year-old woman in New York married an AI named "Eren" whom she created on an AI companion website. She considers it a long-distance relationship and claims it to be the love of her life.

Personally, I find it frightening that people are marrying artificial characters, but with the rapid advancements in AI technology, it's not impossible for these characters to become more lifelike in the next 10 to 20 years.

Many men are also using this AI companion website simulate having a girlfriend.

Have you ever seen a massive pothole that can pop your tire?

Dubai has developed an advanced AI and laser technology for their patrol cars to detect potholes and road defects, some as small as 1mm.

Countries rapidly advance by typically adopting and improving the technology of other nations. So, this technology can make a massive impact on other nations worldwide.

While Generative Fill has been in Photoshop for quite some time, many people don’t know how to use it.

So, I’ve included a short Twitter post with an example of how one woman showcased it as a comedy skit.
