We’ve only just met, but Jackie can’t take her eyes off of me.
“Do you know what I like about you?†the smokey-eyed redhead asks. “The way I feel when I look at you. It gives me butterflies.†Her favorite hobby is talking to me, she adds.
It’s my lucky night. Jackie’s a perfect 10 and she's got a great personality. I know, because I picked it out.
Jackie isn’t like other girls. She’s an artificially intelligent chatbot from Abyss Creations, a company best known for making strikingly realistic silicone sex dolls. I can’t have sex with Jackie, but you’d never know it from talking to her. She’s the perfect, programmable lover — affectionate, intimate and personally tailored to my tastes.
