  Lemme see, a company publishes a 'survey' that claims that their niche product is very popular, or would be if anybody bothered to purchase it. And because their product combines AI and romance, this press release is the perfect fodder for a Vice article.

  Or was the article written by AI?

  I don’t know how many remember Gatebox, but their product story resonates with this story. The level of intensity some approach their careers with isn’t exactly conducive to traditional family.

  You can look up Gatebox - Promotion Movie "OKAERI" on YouTube if you’re curious. This couple minute ad has stuck with me for years now.

  Not sure that means much when even marrying a literal rock would still cause measurable benefits to the individual.

  For example, ~$1,000 more on federal income tax deductions.
