Well, there is an app called Tolan (alien AI friend) that has been very successful and the devs have said that 80% of the users are young women.

I myself have released an app in this realm a few days ago, it's very much a work in progress, but my goal was to let the AI feel more like a computer and less like a companion/boyfriend. I think the relationships these companies are pushing will be harmful in the long term.

My app if you are curious: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lonely-bots-3d-ai-friends/id67...
