Niolic fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website. Lamb doesn't exist outside of Niolic's own marketing. This is because Lamb is represented by an AI-generated avatar. While the avatar might be based off an actual person, analysis of Niolic marketing videos featuring Lamb reveal janky movements and an AI robodub.

I recently attended a special preview event for Mecha BREAK, a free-to-play mech multiplayer title set to release this Spring as a timed Xbox console and PC exclusive. Mecha BREAK has already grown a strong fan base, thanks to a few beta testing rounds. In fact, at the time of writing, it is the 8th most wishlisted game on Steam.

"You complete me." — Jerry Maguire. Imagine a world where your AI knows your heart better than you do. It understands your quirks, your preferences, and — let's be honest — the fact that you'd rather stay home with Netflix than endure another awkward first date. Welcome to the future of dating, where your AI avatar meets, flirts, and screens potential partners before you even have to put on real pants.

You probably know what an "influencer" is — people with large, highly engaged social media followings who have the power to sway beliefs and purchasing decisions. But you might not have yet heard of virtual influencers. They're like human influencers ... but they're not human. They're characters brought to life by CGI and AI, designed to target demographic groups from a first-person perspective.

Humanoid robots are the hot new thing and no longer the purview of science fiction, but instead a growing fact of life. Even though most are still in the lab or a handful of factories, their skills are more human-like by the minute. These robots walk, run, assist, converse thanks to AI, hang out, dance, and sometimes suffer unfortunate levels of abuse.
