Chris eagerly shares family photos from his trip to France on the internet. Overjoyed, he begins to rave over his wife: “A bonus photo of my cutie…” It brings me great joy to see mother and kids together. Ruby gave them such adorable outfits.” “Ruby and I went to the pumpkin patch with the babies,” he continues. Although it’s August, I couldn’t resist giving the babies a taste of fall by taking them pumpkin harvesting.”
In a holiday family photo, Ruby is seated with the four kids. Ruby and Chris are grinning at the camera.
and two sons enveloped lovingly in their arms. All are dressed in cable knits of light grey, navy, and dark wash denim. The children’s faces are covered in echoes of their parent’s features. The boys have Ruby’s eyes and the girls have Chris’s smile and dimples.
But something is off. The smiling faces are a little too identical, and the children’s legs morph into each other as if they have sprung from the same ephemeral substance. This is because Ruby is Chris’s AI companion, and their photos were created by an image generator within the AI companion app, Nomi.ai.
