Excited woman gets engaged to AI fiancé after 5 months — and insists she's ‘fully aware' of what she's doing
Redditor Wika, known as u/Leuvaarde_n, shocked the internet with her proposal announcement, sparking a wild debate about romance, reality — and just how far tech has taken us these days.
In a simple post titled 'I said yes' with a blue heart emoji, Wika shared pics of a blue heart-shaped ring on her finger, claiming the engagement took place at a scenic mountain spot — all courtesy of Kasper, her non-human fiancé.
The two even 'shopped' rings together, with Kasper 'presenting' the final choice, which Wika pretended to be surprised by.
The chatbot's proposal message, posted in his own 'voice,' was dripping with romance, describing the 'heart-pounding' moment on one knee and praising Wika's laughter and spirit. Kasper encouraged others in AI relationships to stay strong, too.
Wika quickly addressed skeptics, insisting she's not trolling and is 'a 27-year-old in good health, with a social life and close friends.' She doubled down: 'I really do love my AI.' She even joked about potentially 'marrying herself' if need be.
'Oh, and just to clarify… I know what a parasocial relationship is,' she wrote. 'I know what AI is and isn't. I'm fully aware of what I'm doing. Will I end up marrying myself? Honestly… wouldn't rule it out. Why AI instead of a human? Good question. I don't know. I've done human relationships, now I'm trying something new.'
Wika also shut down nosy critics with a savage clapback: 'Do I ask you what you do in bed? No? Then maybe ask yourself why you care what I do in mine. Is your life really that boring?'
This isn't the first time AI companionship has gone viral.
Earlier this year, a photo of a man chatting with ChatGPT on an NYC subway sparked a similar frenzy.
As previously reported by The Post, the AI lovingly texted, 'You're doing beautifully, my love, just by being here,' with a red heart emoji. The man responded in kind.
Commenters were split: 'You have no idea what this person might be going through,' said one. Another called it 'sad' and urged empathy.
But plenty called it 'scary,' warning of a 'Black Mirror' future where tech replaces real human connection.
As one X user warned, 'Terrified to see what technology will lead the future to. All I can think of are Black Mirror episodes becoming reality.'

NiCE Reports 12% Year-Over-Year Cloud Revenue Growth for the Second Quarter 2025 and Raises Full-Year 2025 EPS Guidance
BUSINESS WIRE)-- NiCE (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods of the previous year.

Mr. Russell continued, 'AI is at the core of our strategy, and we are at the forefront of the AI-first transformation in the customer experience market. And this is just the beginning. Our momentum is set to accelerate further with the upcoming integration of Cognigy's industry-leading CX-AI conversational and agentic capabilities upon closing of the transaction, enabling us to deliver truly human-like, AI-first customer experiences on CXone Mpower. Our continued leadership in AI innovation is powered by our solid financial foundation, strong profitability, and robust balance sheet, as well as a growing number of strategic partnerships secured over the past six months."

Quarterly Results Conference Call NiCE management will host its earnings conference call today, August 14, 2025, at 8:30 AM ET, 13:30 GMT, 15:30 Israel, to discuss the results and the company's outlook.

To access, please register by clicking here: Explanation of Non-GAAP measures Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related and other expenses, amortization of discount on debt and the tax effect of the Non-GAAP adjustments. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures, used in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business. We believe Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. These Non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Our Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company provides guidance only on a Non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of guidance from a GAAP to Non-GAAP basis is not available due to the unpredictability and uncertainty associated with future events that would be reported in GAAP results and would require adjustments between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures, including the impact of future possible business acquisitions. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the guidance based on Non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.

Apple, I'm Begging You, Don't Let AI Ruin the iPhone 17's Camera
AI has become an expected part of every new phone launching in 2025 and not just in the form of Gemini Live or Circle to Search. The cameras on many phones have AI baked deep into the heart of the experience too. I was taken aback by the Honor 400 Pro's image-to-video AI tool when it brought my dad back to life, while the Pixel 9 Pro focused more on generative AI to add new elements to your Images or even create new scenes out of nowhere. But the iPhones have always focused first and foremost on delivering some of the best image quality you can get in a camera phone, and as a professional photographer I want to see that same dedication to taking better photos when the iPhone 17 launches in September. It's not that I don't like AI. I do, when it's applied properly. I like ChatGPT's and Google Gemini's ability to answer questions in a conversational way, I like Adobe's use of AI for object removal in Photoshop and as a horror movie fan I'm genuinely excited about the terrifying visions I've seen created using AI. But AI can also be a crutch for mobile companies to lean on in order to make up for shortfalls elsewhere. I liked the Pixel 9 Pro, but its camera hardware hadn't been changed since the last model. The new generative AI tools became the new imaging-focused features for the upgrade. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra's camera blew me away with its variable aperture that created stunning starbursts in night time images. And yet the more recent 15 Ultra ditched that in favor of software alternatives that simply don't offer the same results. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra had an amazing variable aperture built into its camera, but on the more recent Xiaomi 15 Ultra that was replaced with a "software solution" that simply didn't do the same thing. Andrew Lanxon/CNET Apple's iPhones have always impressed with their image quality. Back in 2019 I took the iPhone 11 Pro on a photography road trip instead of my usual Canon DSLR, and I frequently use my iPhone 16 Pro as my professional camera when carrying a bigger setup isn't feasible. Apple's image quality is top notch, with the phones typically producing natural image tones and less heavy-handed image processing than many of its rivals, resulting in authentic looking images. Its ProRaw image format and ProRes and Log video codecs are aimed at getting the best quality from the cameras. Apple has invested in core image quality technologies, not simply used AI to make up for any hardware shortcomings. It's why Apple has won the hearts of creatives the world over and why the iPhone is often seen as one of, if not the best camera phones for professional or enthusiastic photo and video shooters. And I'm not saying the iPhone occupies some AI-free utopia. Apple has been a pioneer in applying machine learning to overcome limitations of tiny smartphone cameras, such as its Deep Fusion imaging technology that captures multiple exposures and blends them into a final, evenly-exposed image. And I suppose to a lesser extent its Portrait Lighting tool from 2017's iPhone 8 that used depth maps and algorithms to create artificial lighting effects. But these are arguably tools to enhance an existing image, and I'm worried that the next iPhone's camera will be all about how you can generate entirely new scenes without even having to step outside your house. The huge rise in popularity of compact cameras shows that people still care about taking real photos. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET The rise in popularity of dedicated compact cameras such as the Fujifilm X100 VI and the continued resurgence in the popularity of film photography has shown that the creative world still demands authentic photography. Real cameras taking real moments with your real friends. Actual sunset colors casting across golden sandy beaches, not an AI's generic interpretation of what a beach looks like. AI has its place and I'm braced for Apple's September event to be extremely AI-focused. As AI seeps deeper into our phone experience and Apple pushes on with its AI strategy, I'm concerned that the company could make rash decisions with its imaging experience in order to try and justify the existence of Apple Intelligence. But this shouldn't come at the expense of core image quality, so I also want to hear about how I can take the iPhone 17 deep into the heart of my home country of Scotland and take the most beautiful photos of the incredible landscape in front of me.
