OhChat brings back 1990s Playboy Playmates, with AI bodies and real voices

If you were a fan of Playboy Playmates in the 1990s, you might like this nostalgic technology trip. With AI technology, Oh is bringing five of the Playmates back so they can chat with you. And they will look just like they did back in the 1990s — about 30 years ago.

The AI bodies are based on images of the real women, and the technology uses samples from the real voices from the living Playmates — Brande Roderick, Carrie Stevens, Elke Jeinsen, Shauna Sand and Colleen Shannon — so you can have conversations with them and, ahem, do other stuff via the mobile service dubbed OhChat.
