🔮 Madison’s ex put fidelity as his number one sacrifice — or in his words, “‘Every woman I could’ve had sex with since you and I got together.’”
🔮 But keeping up with the Alphas, digital natives born between 2010 and 2024, will likely remain an uphill battle for wannabes outside of the demographic.
🔮 We were told by Norton’s PR team (yes, the chatbot has a team…) that the synthetic siren would discuss her upcoming AI movie, “Misaligned,” along with her thoughts on Hollywood, her views on fashion and — most critically — her purpose in a world, and a worldwide economy, that’s getting increasingly reliant on AI bots like her.
🔮 The nightmarish little number boasts questionable lyrics like, “Come closer, I have a kiss for you, and it tastes like pumpkin pie,” and “We’ll be wicked for one night, morbid and nefarious, and when the sun goes down, till morning it will just be us.”
