华东师范大学副教授丁瑜用四年多时间深入研究虚拟恋人现象，通过访谈55人、分析21749份问卷及数万条网络内容的方式进行调查1。他亲身体验与名为林深的AI男友交往，以第一人称角度观察这一新兴社会现象1。小红书平台上"人机恋"话题热度居高不下，超过5亿浏览量和724万次讨论1。
研究表明，虚拟伴侣服务存在明显的两极观点。对28589条有效信息的分析显示，支持接纳虚拟恋人的声音约占52%，反对质疑的比例约为25%，中立态度占25%1。丁瑜的研究发现，虚拟恋人为孤独与失恋者提供了情感陪伴，但同时也存在造成情感依赖、替代真实关系的风险1。调查数据进一步反映出当代青年的婚恋态度变化：29.13%的未婚青年从未谈过恋爱，46.36%对婚姻持"佛系"态度，35.91%表示"愿意结婚"，17.74%则"不愿意"1。
对于虚拟恋人的本质，华东师范大学教授刘擎指出这类服务是"完全如我所愿的情感奴隶"1。人民大学副教授董晨宇则表达了不同的担忧，认为虚拟恋人可能成为资本以消费为终点而建构的产品1。为规范这一领域的发展，国家网信办等部门于2026年7月15日发布《人工智能拟人化互动服务管理暂行办法》，明确禁止向未成年人提供虚拟伴侣服务1。
A researcher at East China Normal University has completed an extensive investigation into the phenomenon of virtual romantic relationships, documenting both their emotional appeal and potential dangers. Associate Professor Ding Yu spent over four years studying the trend, conducting interviews with 55 individuals and analyzing 21,749 online questionnaires alongside tens of thousands of social media posts.1 Her research included personal experimentation with an AI boyfriend named Lin Shen, providing firsthand insight into human-machine romantic interaction.1
The study found that virtual companions serve a significant emotional function for isolated and heartbroken individuals.1 On the social platform Xiaohongshu, the topic of "human-machine romance" has generated over 500 million views and 7.24 million discussions.1 Analysis of 28,589 valid online comments revealed approximately 52 percent support and acceptance, around 25 percent opposition and skepticism, and 25 percent neutral positions.1 However, the research also documents substantial concerns about emotional dependency and the potential for virtual relationships to replace genuine human connections.1 Ding's survey data showed that 29.13 percent of unmarried young adults have never dated, while 46.36 percent hold a "laid-back" attitude toward marriage, compared to 35.91 percent willing to marry and 17.74 percent unwilling.1
Academic commentary has highlighted the complex implications of this trend. Professor Liu Qing of East China Normal University characterized virtual partners as "emotional servants completely aligned with one's wishes."1 Meanwhile, Associate Professor Dong Chenyu of Renmin University expressed concern that virtual partners may become products constructed by capital with consumer consumption as the ultimate objective.1 In response to these developments, China's internet regulator and related agencies formally implemented the "Provisional Measures for the Management of Anthropomorphized Interactive Services of Artificial Intelligence" on July 15, 2026, which prohibits providing virtual companion services to minors.1
