Joi AI conducted a 28-day experiment with 10 'masturbation consultants' to study the effects of AI-guided masturbation on stress, focus, and cravings, finding reduced stress and increased focus, though methodology and claims are questioned by experts.
AI companion company Joi's offer of $2,000 for participants in an AI-guided masturbation study unexpectedly went viral, drawing over 150,000 applicants. The company, which aims to explore AI's role in intimacy and wellness, had to quickly establish a formal selection process for the 10 diverse participants needed.
Joi AI is hiring 10 "masturbation consultants" for a four-week role paying $2,000 per month to test its new "Daily Guided Masturbation" feature. Participants will provide feedback on AI voice sessions aimed at stress reduction and mood improvement.
