sexting, roleplaying, or being friends with LLMs or AI characters is definitely a big thing. character ai has something like 20 million active users in 2026 and insane web traffic. if you subtract the people who don't technically even really want to use LLMs but it's forced on them (google, spotify, etc.), and also subtract the automated slop bots, then the people addicted to them are probably the #1 consumer base.
