Would you roleplay with a chatbot? Bizarre AI bot can send you sexts and erotic voice notes – and they’re eerily realistic

• Erotic audio platform, BLOOM, has launched AI ‘roleplaying’ chatbots
• Users can send and receive sexts and erotic voice notes from characters 

From ChatGPT to virtual girlfriends, a range of weird and wonderful chatbots have emerged in recent months amid the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI).

But the latest AI-powered app is arguably the most bizarre yet.

Users of the erotic audio platform, BLOOM, can now send and receive sexts and voice notes from their favourite characters, with the launch of AI ‘roleplaying’ chatbots.

The move, which its creators say will set a ‘new, realistic standard for pleasure’ will let BLOOM’s nearly half a million users directly chat with characters from erotica and receive voice messages in the characters’ voices.

The AI model powering these chatbots has been trained to ensure they stay true to the style and personality of the audio-story characters, so, whether you’re chatting with Rob the charming ranch hand or having a late-night conversation with ‘strict German Professor Roman’, the AI ensures the bot never breaks character.

BLOOM CEO, Hannah Albertshauser, said that the company strives to ‘create characters our users can genuinely relate to – with our exceptional voice actors and talented writers bringing them to life.’

‘When it comes to sexual content, we all have unique and specific desires we want to see fulfilled,’ she explained.

‘And the more dynamic and customisable an experience can be, the more a user’s exact preferences and desires can be satisfied.

‘This is what we set out to change by introducing a feature where users can tell their favourite voices exactly what they are in the mood for and what fantasies they want to explore.’

BLOOM says its platform caters to a wide range of audiences and sexualities, and emphasises that this new AI has been built with safety in mind.

According to the company, the chatbots have been trained to ‘consider consent and safewords’ and will encourage users to lead the conversation, selecting the tone of the interaction.

Sex educator and sexologist Susannah Weiss, who has previously written stories for BLOOM, said that the characters are so respectful and affirming that they might be ‘helpful for people who are overcoming sexual trauma, relationship abuse, or body image issues’.

Ms Weiss added that she ‘left the conversation with my chosen character feeling uplifted and excited to try out some of the fantasies we discussed with a live person.’

With any case of AI implementation there are always concerns that increased automation might push human workers out of a job.

However, BLOOM and its voice actors remain positive about AI’s possible impact.

Erotic voice actor ‘Lizzy’, who wished to keep her identity private, said that ‘AI is a concern when so many companies want things cheap, fast, and forever, so residuals and usage restrictions are key’.

‘Actors deserve to know exactly what their voice is being used for and given the opportunity to consent to each unique case,’ she said.

‘I think disclaimers that AI voices were used will also become important as the voices get more and more realistic.’

However, Lizzy reassures that BLOOM’s AI clearly outlines that her digital double will only ever be used for this chatbot and not sold on to other buyers.

Lizzy also says she receives residual payments every time her bot generates audio meaning ‘it’s basically like I’m being paid to work.’

While BLOOM claims its unique approach to chatbots is an industry first, it isn’t the first company to let people live out their fantasies with an AI.

Earlier this year Snapchat influencer Caryn Marjorie hired out a virtual AI clone of herself to fans to enjoy ‘erotic discourse’ with a chat service running at 1$ (80p) per minute.

Marjorie’s first was shortly followed by OnlyFans star Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, who built a bot to allow her followers to enjoy their ‘wildest fantasies’ from the comfort of their smartphone. 

For $1 (80p) per minute, users can chat with an AI-powered bot trained to emulate the star’s personality, and for a further $36 (£29) an hour, users can receive eerily lifelike voice notes from the AI Amouranth.
