As severe loneliness and isolation increasingly plague many around the world, some are turning to artificial intelligence companions and partners to find comfort.
As attractive as that may sound to some, it hasn’t always quite worked out in the end, such as how one married man in Montana turned to an app called Replika to give himself a virtual wife. But unfortunately for him, even the AI rejected him after a while and sent him back into depression.
Nevertheless, more people are flocking to AI companions to solve their loneliness.
Reported by financial analysis website invezz, the AI companion website Avatar.One ‘has surpassed 120,000 monthly active users worldwide since it launched earlier this year, with many of the users spending over three hours chatting with their personalized AI companions.’ The program was created by Matrix.One.
The outlet goes on to explain how the app works and how it aims to combat loneliness:
Built on Solana, with more than 100,000 connected Solana wallets, Avatar.One enables users to easily create their ideal 3D AI companion to help fight the loneliness epidemic worldwide.
Avatar.One’s avatar maker allows users to define the AI companion’s personality, choosing from hundreds of thousands of variations, and even giving it a live AI-generated voice. Users get to chat unfiltered with their characters, flirt, receive selfies and videos, and create memories together. They can even further develop the AI character’s personality by adding memories.
Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared loneliness a “global public health concern” that could be as bad for people’s health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Among the older adults, loneliness is associated with a 50% higher risk of developing dementia and a 30% increased risk of stroke.
According to a Harvard University survey, 61% of Americans aged 18 – 24 experience severe loneliness. Another Harvard study conducted this year suggests that interaction with AI companions reduces loneliness on par with interacting with another human. Further studies have also revealed.) AI Companions can assist in social and emotional skill development.
Mark Studholme, Co-Founder of Avatar.One and Matrix One, said,
I envision a future where every living person can own an AI character they define. These AI characters can help them with daily tasks, whether that be reminding you of your mom’s birthday, watching Netflix with you on the couch, or even paying your taxes.
The loneliness epidemic is a significant problem. But with the rise in AI technology and its rate of development, it’s possible to build a future where everyone has a full-time 3D companion to help with everything from conversation to advice on cooking, reminders about important events, submitting taxes, financial management, and more. The quality of the chat experience is constantly improving and better able to emulate real human interactions as AI models get more refined.
Avatar.One is powered by Matrix One’s custom built decentralized protocol, which boasts a character studio, avatar maker, and a vast library of LLMs. From this technology, 3D AI characters can be integrated with game engines such as Unreal, Unity and Three.js. Matrix One allows fully animated AI powered characters to be delivered across many different mediums including web, mobile, VR, AR and more. As a result, all avatars are downloadable for use in over 200 games and applications.
Avatar.One prioritizes user safety and privacy. All interactions and user data are stored in an encrypted database using SSH and kept confidential, never to be shared with third parties. It also uses passwordless authentication to ensure that a user’s password cannot be stolen.
The user growth milestone comes as Matrix.One prepares for its upcoming token generation event (TGE) on Polkastarter, Seedify and ChainGPT in the weeks before the token’s listing on centralized exchanges. The $MATRIX token enables participation and transaction within the Matrix One network, allowing users to access, create, and interact with AI characters, besides giving holders governance rights.
Avatar.One is available to anyone above the age of 18 who feels AI companions can alleviate their loneliness. The platform plans to make on-chain characters available soon, allowing users to fully own their character and interaction history.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Truly we are watching a total breakdown of society, which is the understatement of the century. Witnessing all of it is just saddening to see all the divers lusts people are running towards as a coping mechanism. Everything is becoming, and really has become in many ways, fake and artificial.

Ecclesiastes 4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
However, there is a Comforter out there and it’s Christ’s Holy Spirit of God. AI is just the dead consulting the dead.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. [27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; [4] Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
