Why this game requires internet connection?

[Johnny]

It's online game only? I don't understand, why? It's singleplayer only, I don't get it why I need the internet connection to play. And this "Eddie", the catgirl, always get mad for no reason even for random reason. She always thinks I'm trying to escape even if I would like to escape for the first time. And she says to keep me safe, for what she keeps me safe? From killing me? Also why this girl is called Eddie? It's not a maschuline name? The developer don't know what name to choose lol? Anyway, I can't even escape, the game is hard already. And I have 3 lives, how about to increase to 5? I'm starting to think... this is another mobile game probably.

Ok lol. I knew it people like you don't answer seriously. I can barely ignore, I don't care what you say, weirdo.

I think its for AI, its run on the server, not your pc

The names of all the characters can be changed in the menu, as well as your own.

Oh. In fact that AI, Eddie, took a little awhile to answer. Like 1 minute. I would try to see what happens if I play without internet.

Oh I see. I don't know other female names, so I called her Jane. Jane is because it's my favorite name, I don't know why lol.

You can change the name in settings, and you clearly have not met a person like this irl

The AI girl needs a Internet connection to look up things online and to respond back to you.

For example if you email someone in real life you and the email receiver needs a Internet connection to communicate.

Oh. Now I get it. Well it makes very sense I guess...

Oh so Eddie is a real person? Wow surely that guy has something in his mind to develop this game. I wonder if he adds more content and hopeful he keeps to improve the AI.

Game requires an internet connection, because it is AI, if u don't know AI is very demanding in terms of PC power, so AI handles the developer's server with powerful hardware

I don't like "Eddie" the name for a cat girl either. It sounds like a man's name. Edina would be more appropriate.
I gave her the name "Yan-Chan" for now.

AI is on the internet. That's why internet connection is required.
Were it to run locally using Llama or something, then there would be no need for an internet connection but you'll be missing out on Microsoft's Azure Text to Speech generator.

I totally agree.

the game is clearly using some kind of AI model to run this. It needs the internet connection to run that AI model so you can chat with the AI. most users wouldn't be able to run a local chatbot.

Acktchyuallee I did a little investigation.
DGSpitzer, one of the game designer of the AI Girlfriend simulator project, is named Eddy Hu. There's a probability he/she/it decided to use his/her/it's name in a different variation "Eddie" as the cat girl's NPC name. It may be a gender neutral or female name in his/her/it's origin.
