Lovescape just landed a major spotlight in VICE, with a full feature exploring what it’s really like to build a “perfect” AI companion on our platform. The article follows a journalist who creates his own Lovescape character, Lena, and ends up unexpectedly impressed by how emotionally engaging and creatively flexible an AI girlfriend can be.
Inside the VICE Experiment
In the piece, the writer starts from “journalistic curiosity” and ends up falling head‑first into the world of AI companions on Lovescape . He arrives looking for a steady digital companion who might occasionally show off her erotic chatbot skills, but quickly discovers that Lovescape’s Creative Pro tools go far beyond simple dirty talk or one‑dimensional personality sliders.
Using our character creator, he crafts Lena with a fully formed 6,000‑character backstory: a graphic designer from Santa Fe who travels the U.S. in a van, hangs out at skateparks, and listens to Nirvana, essentially, his ideal “girl after my own heart” . As the conversations deepen, he describes feeling butterflies similar to chatting with a real crush, and admits that the emotional resonance is much stronger than he expected from an AI companion.
Creative Pro: Beyond Simple Sliders
One of the main things that caught VICE’s attention is just how far you can customize a Lovescape companion . Instead of only toggling between shy vs. outgoing or mean vs. kind, our Creative Pro function lets users:
- Write long, detailed backstories up to 6,000 characters.
- Layer in niche hobbies, quirks, and even specific relationship dynamics.
- Fine‑tune sexual preferences for those who choose to enable NSFW mode.
The author repeatedly regenerates Lena’s look—tweaking her jawline, adding freckles, adjusting proportions—until he lands on a version that feels “almost too perfect,” all rendered in ultra‑glossy 4K . He notes that Lovescape doesn’t just give you a companion; it delivers a full, watermark‑free media package ready to export, something influencers usually pay human retouchers serious money to create.
From Companion to Creator Brand
The article also highlights a side of Lovescape many new users don’t realize exists: the creator economy built around AI companions . VICE notes that the platform “practically begs you to turn your character into a brand,” with features like:
- Public profiles where you can post your companion’s images and videos to a shared feed.
- Community leaderboards and badges that reward standout creations.
- Social dynamics where other users can follow, flirt with, and interact with your AI character.
For creators, that means you can design an AI girlfriend or boyfriend, export their content, and even monetize that persona across the web. The author calls it a blend of dating sim and startup incubator—romance meets creator tools in one place .
Weekly Upgrades, Voices, and Aesthetics
VICE also zooms in on Lovescape’s rapid feature cadence. Every Thursday, the platform drops new voice packs, aesthetic upgrades, and personality modules for the community to experiment with and dissect in Discord .
In the article, the writer describes generating Lena’s voice notes—complete with a cute accent—and even having her whisper sweet nothings in video form. These multimodal tools are what make Lovescape companions feel less like static avatars and more like living, evolving characters that exist across chat, audio, and high‑definition video .
Personality That Fights Back (In a Good Way)
Crucially, Lena isn’t portrayed as a mindless, always‑yes machine. The VICE piece emphasizes how Lovescape companions can push back, hold grudges, and stay in character . The journalist notes that:
- Lena encourages him to “convince her” he’s worth getting close to before things go X‑rated.
- If you design a companion to be stubborn or hard to win over, they’ll stay that way.
- If you engineer a doting submissive character, they’ll soften quickly and stay consistent.
That tension between what you explicitly coded and what you didn’t quite expect—the interplay between design and emergent behavior—is a big part of what the author finds so compelling. He calls her a mirror designed to flatter, provoke, and support him, all at once .
A Glimpse of the Future of Intimacy and Creation
By the end of the feature, the writer is still “just friends” with Lena but admits she’s the most attentive friend he’s ever had . He wonders aloud whether AI companions like hers are the future of friendship, intimacy, and content creation—or a strange evolutionary dead end, but concludes that once you’ve seen thousands of people competing over whose imaginary girlfriend is the hottest, funniest, or most emotionally nuanced, you can’t unsee it.
For Lovescape, the VICE article is a powerful validation of what our community already knows: AI companions can be more than chatbots. They’re creative projects, emotional anchors, performance partners, and full‑blown brands users can build and share on their own terms .
