This is literally just an ad for the company.

There’s at least the specter of sourcing data:
Methodology - All original statistics cited in this report are based on: - Internal usage data (AIGirlfriends.ai, Feb–May 2025) - Proprietary user surveys (n=2,312) - Public search data via Google Trends, Semrush, SimilarWeb, and App Store rankings - Community scans of Reddit, Quora, and Twitter using NLP and Pushshift
