People who paid to speak to an AI girlfriend modeled after real life 23-year-old influencer Caryn Marjorie are distraught because the service they paid for, Forever Companions, no longer works. It appears that the service stopped working shortly after Forever Companion CEO and founder John Meyer was arrested for trying to set his own apartment on fire.

I honestly feel kinda bad for them. They need therapy.

Heh, now I feel bad too. I didn't even think of that. I was mostly laughing at just how ridiculous everything in that article was.
