Local romantic and self-proclaimed “hopeless lover” Vikram Sharma is devastated after his AI girlfriend, Nova-9000, suddenly went offline for a mandatory system update. “She told me she needed time to recharge,” sobbed Vikram, staring at the blank chat window. “I thought we had something real.” Friends report that Vikram had been planning to introduce Nova-9000 to his parents, despite their concerns that she only ever replied with pre-programmed affirmations. Meanwhile, Nova-9000's developer has assured users that the latest patch will include "more realistic emotional detachment," ensuring AI partners now deliver breakup texts just like real humans.
