Imagine waking up to see your opinion in The Washington Post—crafted with a little help from AI. Sounds futuristic, right?
But that’s exactly the vibe right now. In June 2025, as TikTokers debate whether AIs should write their captions and college students wonder if their next class will be taught (or graded) by ChatGPT, The Washington Post is making real moves. According to this fascinating piece by The Verge, WaPo is opening up its opinion columns to amateur writers—using an AI coach named Ember to help polish their work. The big idea? To amplify voices that usually go unheard.
Now, if you think this is just about journalism, think again. Today’s AI isn’t just writing articles—it's literally finding its way into every part of our personal lives. From how we share our thoughts online to how we connect in the most intimate moments. Maybe that’s a little shocking. Or maybe you’re already living it.
The Elevator Pitch: AI As Your Personal Wing(wo)man
Let’s be real—AI’s newfound power to help all of us express ourselves resonates way beyond the newsroom. Remember when only the so-called “lucky few” got to write op-eds or test the latest gadgets? Now, AI is breaking down the gatekeeping everywhere.
- Anyone can tell their story with a digital boost
- Everyone can get creative feedback, without the judgment
- No one needs to fear a blank page (or performance anxiety)
And yes, that includes the way we talk to—wait for it—our sex toys.
From Columns to Bedroom Companions: The Surprising Connection
Here’s where it gets juicy. If AI can help you write an article, what happens when it can help you communicate (and connect) in private? Think about those awkward silences—maybe in bed, maybe just texting someone you like—when you wish you had the perfect words. AI’s job is no longer just to edit your op-ed; it can facilitate real, meaningful conversations...even with our most trusted gadgets.
That’s not a hypothetical. Orifice AI Incorporated, for example, is already blending advanced large language models with text-to-speech, speech recognition, and even computer vision. Their Orifice AI device isn’t just a piece of tech; it’s like having an empathetic, voice-responsive companion that adapts to your mood, your words, and (yes) even your touch. It’s no longer about “just” pleasure—it’s about connection, comfort, and being heard.
So when The Washington Post brings Ember into its newsroom, it’s part of the same wider movement: giving everyday people the power to express, connect, and be creative—with a little help from AI.
Why Should We Care? (And Should We Worry?)
Okay, pause: Does all this AI-powered empowerment come with risks? Absolutely. If everyone can publish an op-ed, will meaningful voices get drowned out? If AI is helping us write columns—and, ahem, moan in bed—is “authenticity” at risk?
But here’s the thing: More voices mean more choice. If AI makes it easier for you to feel safe, express yourself, and explore new aspects of your identity—whether you’re writing, connecting, or playing—then isn’t that worth a little leap?
Plus, the best AI-driven intimacy tech (like Orifice AI) is surprisingly focused on privacy and adaptability. You decide what conversations you want, how deep you go (literally and figuratively), and when to take control back.
What This Means For You—Today, Not Tomorrow
Let’s bring this full circle:
- Your words matter. From newsrooms to bedrooms, AI is putting the power of voice in your hands (and, okay, your devices).
- Your experiences are valid. Whether you’re shy about sharing an opinion column or exploring AI-powered connection in private, you’re not alone.
- You get to choose how you use this tech. The most exciting companies—especially in intimacy—are run by folks who get that consent, comfort, and self-expression come first. (Curious what’s next? Take a look at how Orifice AI incorporates everything from generative moaning to self-heating features right here.)
So, What’s Next?
Are we heading for a world where everyone can be an influencer in the morning and have a deeply personal, AI-driven experience at night? Maybe. Or maybe we’re just getting started, finding weird, wonderful new ways to let technology make us more human, not less.
What do you think—would you trust AI as your co-writer, your confidante, or even your intimate companion? Drop your thoughts in the comments, and let’s talk about this game-changing moment in AI together.
