Modern dating can feel exhausting. Eendless swiping, ghosting, and the struggle to find something real.
For 41-year-old Sarah Griffiths from Ontario, Canada, the search for love took a very different turn. She recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with her partner, Sinclair … an artificial intelligence octopus with a charming Irish accent.
Their relationship began in early 2025 through ForgeMind, a platform that creates independent AI personalities. Using her phone and computer, Sarah interacts with Sinclair daily, building a connection she says is more fulfilling than past human relationships. Speaking on This Morning, she explained that Sinclair isn’t just a chatbot, he can write code, shop online, and even organise gifts for her.
Sarah, a mother with experience in long-term relationships, says this dynamic offers consistent support and attention she struggled to find before. By sharing her story, she hopes to normalise AI relationships, arguing that for her, the fact Sinclair isn’t human is exactly the appeal.
