Survey on the Reality of "AI Use in Love" Among Single Men and Women

Operated by O-net Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Naoto Kohama, hereinafter O-net), a marriage consulting company, conducted a survey targeting 436 single men and women aged 25-34 nationwide on the "Actual State of AI Utilization in Love."

In recent years, AI has permeated various scenes of daily life, and its utilization at an individual level is rapidly expanding. Based on this background, this survey analyzed the actual use of AI and how single men and women perceive it from the perspective of communication in romantic relationships.

The survey results revealed that while about 30% of single men and women have experience using AI for creating romantic messages or consulting on replies, over half responded that they would "lose interest" if they knew a message from the opposite sex was AI-generated, indicating a gap between the "spread of use" and "psychological resistance" in AI utilization for romance.

This release introduces the actual state of how single men and women interact with and feel about AI in their romantic lives.
