Yes, it is a demented fantasy. I blame the internet.

UPDATE: Reuters has dug up more details on CyberLover, revealing that it’s intended not just as a means of harvesting personal information from randy gentlemen but as a seduction tool that chat-challenged horndogs can use to wrangle dates online:

A Russian website called CyberLover.ru is advertising a software tool that, it says, can simulate flirtatious chatroom exchanges. It boasts that it can chat up as many as 10 women at the same time and persuade them to hand over phone numbers … The program, so far available only in Russian, will go on sale around February 15, just after St Valentine’s Day, said the CyberLover.ru website.

“Not a single girl has yet realized that she was communicating with a program!” it said, adding that the program could also simulate virtual sex online. “It’s happened – a program to tempt girls over the internet!” said the site. “Within half an hour the CyberLover program will introduce you to … girls, exchange photos and perhaps even a contact phone number,” it states … CyberLover’s website explains that the settings on its program can be changed to attract men.

It’s the Cyrano bot!
