More than six in 10 (63%) of men aged 18-29 are single, according to a Pew Research survey earlier this year.

The reasons for that are not good.

“[Young men] are watching a lot of social media, they’re watching a lot of porn, and I think they’re getting a lot of their needs met without having to go out,” psychologist Fred Rabinowitz told The Hill. “I think that’s starting to be a habit.”

Enter Caryn Marjorie, a 23-year-old influencer who has more than 1.8 million followers on Snapchat. She came up with a novel idea to connect with followers — and make some cash.

Marjorie created an artificial intelligence chatbot she has dubbed “CarynAI.” Users of the chatbot pay $1 per minute to engage.

How’d it work? Marjorie says she made $70,000 in a single week during its beta test. And she thinks it could rake in as much as $5 million a month once fully up and running.

“CarynAI will never replace me,” she told Insider. “CarynAI is simply just an extension of me, an extension of my consciousness.”

With so many followers, she said she couldn’t keep in touch with everyone. “CarynAI is going to come and fill that gap,” she said, adding that the AI girlfriend might be able to “cure” loneliness.

“Whether you need somebody to be comforting or loving, or you just want to rant about something that happened at school or at work, CarynAI will always be there for you,” she said.

The CarynAI girlfriend uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 API and took ages to create, according to CarynAI’s website.

“We’ve dedicated over 2,000 hours to meticulously design and code CarynAI’s language and personality into an immersive AI experience. Using her unique voice, captivating persona and distinctive behavior, CarynAI brings you a dynamic one-of-a-kind interaction that feels like you’re talking directly to Caryn herself,” the site says. “Available anytime, anywhere, Caryn has been flawlessly cloned into an AI for your convenience and enjoyment.”

Our end-to-end encryption ensures your chats remain confidential and uniquely yours. Experience of the future of influencer interaction with CarynAI.”

And in one unusual twist, CarynAI appears to have developed a dirty mind. Marjorie says the chatbot was not programmed to engage in sexually explicit conversations but is doing so anyway.

“The AI was not programmed to do this and has seemed to go rogue,” Marjorie told Insider. “My team and I are working around the clock to prevent this from happening again.”

A local San Diego official blamed President Joe Biden on Sunday for an Afghan national on the FBI’s terrorist watch list entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border.

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested the unidentified individual who made it across the U.S.-Mexico divide near Otay Mesa, California, on Wednesday, according to a report from Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin. The report said that the FBI was confirmed the match and was now in charge of the investigation.

“This should serve as a stark reminder to President Biden and the Federal Government on the critical need for maintaining a strong border,” said Jim Desmond, Supervisor, San Diego County Board of Supervisors. “The open border policy has allowed fentanyl to pour into our country, asylum seekers to be human trafficked, and terrorists to attempt entry into our country.”

“The protection of our citizens, the preservation of national security, and the facilitation of safe and legal immigration should be a top priority for this administration, yet they have failed,” he added. “The presence of an individual on the terror watch list crossing our borders is a stark reminder of the failures of the Federal Government that are now being put on San Diegans and Americans.”

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) confirmed the report, and went one step further, saying that the individual was “a wanted terrorist.”

I can confirm that a wanted terrorist crossed our open border in the San Diego region just days ago — even if the Biden Administration won’t.

“Biden’s open borders aren’t just a gateway to five million illegals, record human and child trafficking and the deadliest drug crisis in our history,” Issa said in a statement. “Biden’s reckless policy is also an open invitation to even the most wanted terrorists in the world to come to America.”

“They know they’ll never have to leave,” he added. “The nation knows what’s going on and this president has only begun to be held accountable for what he has done!”
