OpenAI recently launched the GPT Store, a platform for developers to sell AI apps and tools, but it has taken a stand against relationships with AI, especially AI girlfriends. Despite the company's stated position, app stores are still full of his AI girlfriend apps and “relationship simulators.”
gizmodo report GPT Store, recently introduced by OpenAI, provides a marketplace for AI applications such as games, productivity tools, graphic design tools, and more. However, OpenAI has made it clear that it does not support AI girlfriends, which have become alarmingly popular in recent months.
Breitbart News recently reported on AI model Lexi Love, a creation of UK-based Foxy AI. This AI is specifically designed to communicate with lonely men. This business is a single AI model that generates nearly $30,000 a month for him by embodying the “perfect girlfriend” concept with perfect features tailored to appeal to a wide audience. It has proven to be highly profitable.
What sets Lexi apart is not just her physical design, which is entirely computer-generated, but the emotional connection she fosters. Since introducing her in June 2023, she has established a “strong emotional connection” with many followers, convinced of her authenticity, leading to up to 20 marriage proposals a month .

As these apps have grown in popularity, OpenAI has had a harder time censoring them, or has chosen not to censor them at all. A quick search for the term “relationship” in the GPT store immediately brings up the AI girlfriend that GPT created just three weeks before her.
