AI girlfriends are everywhere. So why are the humans they're replacing being pushed off the internet?

This is a chapter from Internet Hate Machine host Bridget Todd’s new Simon & Schuster audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy. 

In this conversation, Bridget sit down with 404 Media cofounder Samantha Cole to unpack the booming business of AI companions, sex bots, and erotic role play. They explore why tech companies are racing to build AI girlfriends while human sex workers continue to face censorship, deplatforming, and financial discrimination. 

It's a conversation about labor, consent, power, and what happens when Big Tech decides to monetize our most intimate relationships.
