A Japanese dating app company, Tapple , has created an artificial intelligence (AI) dating app called "Koisuru AI." game may be redefining the way we date, but it's also raising questions about its potential impact on birth rates in Japan.

Koisuru AI explores the world of relationships in a different way, offering users interaction with a vocalized Artificial Intelligence called Ai. This AI's uniqueness lies in its ability to retain information, allowing it to reconstruct users' thoughts, habits, and preferences through dialogue. Using this data, the character creates messages and communicates them to the player through text-to-speech, featuring a voice provided by renowned voice actress Rikako Aida . This unique approach provides an engaging and personalized experience in the virtual dating world .

According to Tapple , the app aims to "simulate the process of building an intimate casual relationship," with the goal of supporting and improving the chances of those using dating apps. However, this innovative and highly personalized approach can have unexpected consequences.

Critics point out that Koisuru AI could negatively affect birth rates in Japan. As users immerse themselves in a simulated relationship with an AI, the likelihood of them preferring this virtual experience to interactions with real people may increase.

Ultimately, this phenomenon could potentially reduce opportunities to form meaningful real-world relationships, which could have a lasting impact on the country's birth rates.
