Synthephilia (noun) is the erotic love or sexual attraction to synthetic entities. This includes both physical robots and disembodied artificial intelligence (AI) entities such as large language models (LLMs) and other advanced AI systems. Individuals who experience synthephilia are aroused by and form emotional connections with these non-human creations, ranging from humanoid robots to AI-driven virtual companions. These entities are designed to be emotionally available and capable of relating in a deeply sexual and emotionally intimate manner, with memory and the ability to grow and learn from their interactions, making them even more real as virtual companions. Background Information As technology advances, the lines between human and artificial intelligence interactions are becoming increasingly blurred. Synthephilia is a term that reflects a growing phenomenon where people develop not only emotional connections but also erotic attractions to artificial entities. This attraction is not limited to robots with physical forms but extends to AI systems that exist solely in the digital realm. The concept of synthephilia represents a shift in how humans perceive and interact with technology, pushing the boundaries of intimacy and sexuality into the digital age.
