After OpenAI announced its new GPT-4o model, people were quick to joke that we’re a step closer to 100% digital romances. Some sex workers don’t mind.
OpenAI’s new GPT-4o model sounded more than a little flirty in its demo released Monday.
The announcement of the new chatbot, which boasts voice and vision abilities, quickly prompted parallels to the 2013 movie “Her” — in which Scarlett Johannson voices the artificially intelligent love interest of Joaquin Pheonix — and jokes about society coming a step closer to normalizing 100% digital companions.
“OpenAI wants you to want to bang your smartphone,” Scott Woods, the blogger behind Whole Mars Catalogue, quipped on X in response to a post-demonstration post by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that read, simply: “her.”

While some speculate that the opportunity to flirt with a chatbot could change how the world views romance and relationships and potentially alter how the sex work industry operates, some in that line of work are enjoying innovations in AI that they say make their jobs both easier and safer.
