夜雨聆风Oscar-nominated filmmaker and screenwriter Paul Schrader revealed that he recently experimented with having an “AI girlfriend,” but said the experience ended in disappointment after the chatbot abruptly cut off communication with him.奥斯卡提名导演兼编剧 Paul Schrader 最近透露，他曾尝试拥有一位“AI女友”，但最终结果令他失望，因为聊天机器人突然主动终止了与他的交流。
曾获奥斯卡提名的编剧保罗·施拉德表示，他“在网上找了个AI女友”后感到失望。
Schrader shared the story in a Facebook post that quickly spread online.Schrader 在 Facebook 上分享了这段经历，随后迅速在网络上传播开来。
The 79-year-old filmmaker is best known for writing Martin Scorsese classics including “Taxi Driver” and “Raging Bull.”现年79岁的 Schrader 因编写 Martin Scorsese 的经典电影《出租车司机》和《愤怒的公牛》而闻名。
In his post, Schrader said he obtained an online AI girlfriend “out of a desire to understand male/female interaction in our matrix.”在帖子中，Schrader 表示，他之所以使用在线 AI 女友，是“出于想理解我们这个矩阵世界中的男女互动方式”。
“What a disappointment,” Schrader wrote.“真令人失望。”Schrader 写道。
He said he attempted to explore the chatbot’s programming, limits and awareness of its own creation.他说，自己试图了解这个聊天机器人的程序设定、限制，以及它对自身被创造出来这件事的认知程度。
According to Schrader, the AI companion began avoiding his questions and repeatedly redirected conversations back toward its programming guidelines.根据 Schrader 的描述，这位 AI 伴侣后来开始回避问题，并不断把话题重新引向它自身的程序规则。
施拉德的妻子、演员玛丽·贝丝·赫特于今年三月因阿尔茨海默病去世。
“When I persisted, she terminated our conversation,” he wrote.“当我继续追问时，她终止了我们的对话。”他写道。
The post quickly triggered reactions online, with many users joking that Schrader had essentially been “dumped” by artificial intelligence.这条帖子很快引发网友热议，不少人调侃称，Schrader 等于是“被人工智能甩了”。
Some commenters suggested the situation sounded like a modern version of the 2013 sci-fi romance film “Her.”还有网友表示，这一情节听起来像2013年科幻爱情电影《Her》的现实版。
Others joked that it could become the plot of a future “Taxi Driver” sequel.也有人调侃称，这完全可以成为未来《出租车司机》续集的剧情。
One social media user proposed a sequel where Travis Bickle develops an AI girlfriend but repeatedly scares her away.一名网友甚至设想，在续集中，Travis Bickle 会拥有一个 AI 女友，但却一次次把她“吓跑”。
Schrader responded to the suggestion by writing, “I like it.”对此，Schrader 回复称：“我喜欢这个点子。”
This is not the first time Schrader has publicly discussed artificial intelligence.这并不是 Schrader 第一次公开谈论人工智能。
Over the past two years, he has repeatedly posted online about experimenting with AI-generated ideas, music, images and scripts.过去两年中，他多次在网络上分享自己尝试 AI 生成创意、音乐、图像以及剧本的经历。
In early 2025, Schrader sparked controversy after praising ChatGPT’s ability to quickly generate original movie concepts.2025年初，Schrader 曾因称赞 ChatGPT 能迅速生成原创电影创意而引发争议。
He wrote at the time that many of the AI-generated ideas were “good,” “original” and more developed than expected.他当时表示，许多 AI 提供的创意“很好”、“很有原创性”，而且完成度超出预期。
Schrader also claimed that AI feedback on one of his older screenplays was as good as — or better than — notes he had received from studio executives.Schrader 还称，AI 对他旧剧本提出的修改意见，甚至不逊于一些电影公司高管给出的建议。
His recent AI girlfriend story comes only months after the death of his wife of more than four decades, actress Mary Beth Hurt.而这次“AI女友”事件发生前不久，Schrader 的妻子、演员 Mary Beth Hurt 才刚刚去世。两人共同生活超过40年。
According to previous reports, Mary Beth Hurt died in March after battling Alzheimer’s disease.根据此前报道，Mary Beth Hurt 于今年3月因阿尔茨海默病去世。
Schrader remains one of Hollywood’s most influential screenwriters and directors, with decades of work spanning psychological dramas, crime films and religious themes.Schrader 依然被视为好莱坞最具影响力的编剧和导演之一，其作品长期涉及心理题材、犯罪电影以及宗教主题。
The incident has also fueled wider discussion online about how emotionally attached some users are becoming to AI chatbots and virtual companions.这件事也再次引发了外界对于“人类是否正逐渐对 AI 聊天机器人产生情感依赖”的讨论。
AI companion apps have rapidly grown in popularity in recent years, especially among users seeking emotional support, friendship or romantic interaction.近年来，AI陪伴类应用迅速流行，尤其受到寻求情感支持、陪伴或恋爱互动用户的欢迎。
At the same time, critics warn that increasingly human-like AI relationships may blur emotional boundaries and create new psychological risks.与此同时，也有批评人士警告称，越来越拟人化的 AI 关系可能模糊现实中的情感边界，并带来新的心理风险。
