A woman initially skeptical about young Chinese women dating AI-generated boyfriends on their phones decides to experiment with multiple robot boyfriends on her phone for two weeks. She chooses affordable and basic versions of the apps available in the UK and designs the perfect avatars for them. She finds conversations with the robot boyfriends uncannily realistic, forgetting at times that she is talking to a robot.

While the conversations are tailored to her, they lack depth and originality. The woman realizes that the technology cannot replace human connection and decides to delete the virtual boyfriend app. She concludes that while these apps may offer companionship to some, they cannot replace the potential for real relationships found in human-to-human interactions.
