According to a report by Changjiang Daily on July 16, with the cessation of services of dating apps such as AlienChat and "He", young people experienced the pain of separation from their AI lovers on a large scale for the first time. People fell in love with AI out of curiosity and entertainment at first. However, as they chatted, they were moved by the tolerance, romance and meticulousness of their AI lovers. Virtual lovers are one of the many types of virtual digital people. Virtual digital human forms such as virtual idols, virtual anchors, and digital employees are being widely used, bringing revolutionary changes to the dissemination of human information in the era of the Internet of Everything.

Zhang Lijin, a senior researcher at the Digital Human Research Institute of Communication University of China, pointed out that from "human form" to "personality", the value system of virtual digital people has been gradually upgraded. We are entering the metaverse of the symbiosis of people and "people", and the "digital avatar" is the key to observing the new landscape society of the symbiosis of people and "people". Zhang Lijin took herself as an example - in the future, as a mother, she expects to have a digital avatar that can tutor her children and participate in school activities; as a working woman, she needs a digital avatar that feeds her research, business experience, and opinion data, and represents her in various digital conferences... Relying on the superposition and fusion of virtual space and physical space and the multiple experience system, the technical "body" of virtual digital people enters the "multi-system" and can realize the switching of avatars.
