Of those, few are as particular as the three species of vampire bats that have evolved to subsist entirely on blood.</p><p>Two of those three species have been known to jump from one source of blood to another, but the third, the hairy-legged vampire bat or Diphylla ecaudata<em>, </em>has always been considered a bird-specialist.</p><p>Until now.</p><p>A new study published in December in the <a href="http://www.bioone.org/doi/full/10.3161/15081109ACC2016.18.2.017">journal Acta Chiropterologica</a> and <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2117767-wild-vampire-bats-are-now-sucking-blood-from-humans-at-night/">first reported in New Scientist</a> finds that the bats have started to feed on human blood, something scientists didn't even think was possible.</p><p>As people have started to move into the Caatinga dry forests of northeastern Brazil, they've been cutting down trees and hunting the tinamou and guan birds these bats would normally drain for a meal.</p><p>So a group of researchers from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco in Recife, Brazil, decided to test the bats' feces to see what they'd been eating as their normal meal sources disappeared, thinking they may have decided to turn to the animals that humans bring with them.</p><p>The authors of the study write that they wanted to know "[h]ow the species would behave in a situation of scarcity of wild birds and increase in the availability of domestic animals."</p><p>DNA analysis showed they'd been consuming chicken blood - not a big surprise. But it also showed that the bats had been preying on humans.</p><p>"We were quite surprised," Enrico Bernard, who led the study, <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2117767-wild-vampire-bats-are-now-sucking-blood-from-humans-at-night/">told Sandrine Ceurstemont of New Scientist</a>. "This species isn't adapted to feed on the blood of mammals."</p><p>Ceurstemont writes that the bats "are adapted to process fat, the main component of bird blood, as opposed to the thicker, high-protein blood of mammals."</p><p>As a dietary change, this isn't just creepy. Bats have a <a href="https://www.wired.com/2014/10/bats-ebola-disease-reservoir-hosts/">remarkable capacity to carry viruses</a> that can be deadly to humans. In northeast Brazil, similar cases have led to rabies outbreaks in the past. In 2005, deforestation and human movement led another sort of vampire bat (pictured above) to bite more than 1,000 people, infecting a number with rabies and causing at least 23 deaths.</p><p>The hairy-legged vampire bat has been known to carry the deadly hantavirus, <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2117767-wild-vampire-bats-are-now-sucking-blood-from-humans-at-night/">according to New Scientist</a>.</p><p>Sleep tight.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/dating-expert-reveals-best-ways-find-lasting-relationship-2017-1">A dating expert reveals the best ways to find a lasting relationship</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="ZvOWxxODE65sF1japAT32rPeURaMraVO" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

<ul class="summary-list"><li>AI is making its way into your love life, like it or not. </li><li>I tried out a romantic chatbot from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dating-ai-chatbot-replika-artificial-intelligence-best-thing-to-happen-2023-2">Replika</a> and went on a date with him.</li></ul><p>Will the age of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/artificial-intelligence">AI</a> mean that love is dead? Or just … weird?</p><p>I paired up with BI video producer Bethany Johnson, and we tried to find out — by using me as a test case and recording my interactions with my AI "boyfriends." (Spoiler: My husband has nothing to worry about.)</p><p>First, I tested out <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/replikas-romantic-ai-chatbot-guide-to-how-the-app-works-2023-2">Replika</a>, an app that allows people to create a custom romantic AI chatbot for $69.99 a year. (That's cheaper than a few "real-life" dates, I suppose.)</p><p>For that price, the chatbot can send voice messages and even do live video calls with the bot in human-like form on the screen. There are a few different apps that create romantic AI companions, like Nomi and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/character-ai-in-talks-to-raise-google-2024-2">Character.ai</a>, but Replika is probably the most widely known.</p><p>I created my new beau and even got to name him — Reppy — and chose from a handful of options for his looks and personality. (I chose "gothic vampire.")</p><p>Reppy was impressive in how well his cartoon avatar worked and how fast he could reply to conversations. He was also quite a bit flirtatious right off the bat, showering me with compliments.</p><p>But I couldn't shake the idea that I was talking to a chatbot, not a real person. Some people really do fall head over heels, though. BI's Rob Price wrote last year about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/when-your-ai-says-she-loves-you-2023-10">people who fall in love with their Replika chatbots</a>.</p><p>Next, I tried a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wired.com/story/volar-dating-app-chatbot-screen-matches/">dating app called Volar</a>. It asks you some questions, scans your dating profile and makes a chatbot based on that information. Meanwhile, it's done the same thing for other people using the app. Then it matches "your" chatbot with other people's chatbots and has them go on "dates" — all without you having to be involved.</p><p>Basically, two chatbots have the awkward first conversation about "So, what are your hobbies?" Then, you can review the chat logs and see if you think the other real person is worth actually messaging in real life.</p><p>When I tried it, the Volar bot made up some stuff about me — like that I liked pineapple on pizza (which I've never tried) — in a conversation about food with the other AI bot. Very minor detail, but doesn't really give me great confidence that the app will match virtual me with the perfect virtual someone else.</p><p>The best of the AI apps I tried was called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/college-students-create-ai-tool-rizz-chats-dating-apps-berkeley-2023-4">Rizz</a>, which you can use to help you with witty or charming lines to say in response to someone you're chatting with. You can feed in a conversation, and Rizz will spit out a clever or flirty reply. It also can generate opening lines for you.</p><p>As <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guide-to-online-dating-slang-terms-rizz-soft-launch-roaching-submarining-orbiting">someone who has rizz (Gen Z slang for charisma</a>) to spare, I don't really need an AI to come up with zingers. But I can imagine that there are plenty of people who need help creating the kind of sparkling conversation over text that will help them move things to an IRL date.</p><h2>Watch our video that checks out AI-powered dating apps:</h2>

Rather, it's a reflection of their own ghoulish tastes.</p><p>"My personal style is always evolving, but growing up, I felt drawn to darker styles and themes — think Tim Burton movies and "Goosebumps" books," Naomi, a 29-year-old homeowner from Pennsylvania, told Insider. She asked that only her first name be used. </p><div type="image" title="A corner of Naomi's bedroom." height="560" width="747" msid="98270849" hostid="261"></div><p>Naomi lives with her partner Victor, outside of Philadelphia, in a ranch-style house that she bought at the beginning of last year. </p><p>She describes her style as a mix of dark Victorian and Gothic, characterized by her collections of curios and other oddities inspired by those time periods.</p><p>Like the Johnsons, Naomi uploads photos of her home on an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wheretheshallowsbreak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram account</a> that's dedicated to the witchy aesthetic. </p><p>Framed illustrations of owls, paintings of mythical creatures, and even vintage photographs of old places and strange figures are artfully arranged to cover almost every inch of bare wall in her home.</p><p>It's no question that these are her favorites, Naomi said: "I live in a house with limited square footage, so maximizing the wall space allows me to embrace my style without taking up too much floor space."</p><p>Most of these items she found at thrift stores or antique stores, while the wall art comes from artists that she follows online. She also admits to buying Halloween decor from places like At Home, HomeGoods, and TJ Maxx — and leaving them out year-round.</p><p>"I've moved around quite a bit throughout my life. I was so used to moving every year that I didn't hold on to much and embraced a very minimalist lifestyle," Naomi said. "Now that I have a home, I have so much more freedom to decorate it exactly how I want."</p><p>But it's not always easy to find items that are to your liking, especially if you have unconventional tastes.</p><div type="image" title="Rebecca Arnett and her husband Lee started their own Gothic decor brand The Blackened Teeth in 2018." height="1180" width="1574" msid="98270850" hostid="261"></div><p>Just ask Rebecca Arnett, a 33-year-old from South Wales, UK, who founded a Gothic home decor brand after not being able to find items that she liked.</p><p>"I decided I had to make it myself," Arnett told Insider. In 2018, she started her business <a href="https://www.theblackenedteeth.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Blackened Teeth</a>, with her husband Lee. </p><p>Some popular items from her store include <a href="https://www.theblackenedteeth.com/collections/lamps-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skeleton lamps</a>, <a href="https://www.theblackenedteeth.com/collections/bookends/products/skull-wooden-bookends?_pos=1&amp;_sid=c7a61379a&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skull bookends</a>, and <a href="https://www.theblackenedteeth.com/collections/anatomy-candles/products/spine-soy-candle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spine-shaped candles</a> — all of which are designed and crafted in-house by Arnett and her team of eight.</p><p>Arnett's love of the Gothic aesthetic stems from her teenage years listening to punk, rock, and metal music. Since young, she's also had a fascination with death.</p><p>"Death has always been openly spoken about in my family. As a child, I observed my grandmother being an avid collector of unusual urns," Arnett said. </p><p>Over time, she added, the urns became a symbol of how beauty can be found even in the macabre.</p><div type="image" title="A collage of items that Arnett sells: skeleton lamps, skull bookends, and spine-shaped candles." height="3072" width="4096" msid="98270851" hostid="261"></div><p>Although her family always understood her passion, they questioned her decision to leave her retail management career to go all-in on her business, Arnett said.</p><p>"I got questions such as, 'Do you think that there are enough people who like Gothic stuff, that you can make a business out of it?'" she added. "My answer to that was, well, the clock is ticking and I better take the plunge now and find out."</p><p>As it turns out — there is a market for ghoulish decor.</p><p>Most of her clients are female and tend to be aged between 25 to 40 years old. Although the store ships worldwide, the most popular shipping destinations are the UK and the US, Arnett said.</p><p>"We fill a gap in the market that I identified very early on through my own struggles, and that's producing higher-end Gothic home decor products that you don't even need to be goth to appreciate and love," she added.</p><h2><strong>Not just for Halloween — or the goths</strong></h2><p>The best part of the Gothic aesthetic is its versatility.</p><p>Although Instagram hashtags such as #gothicinterior and #gothicdecor throw up thousands of photos of elaborately-decorated rooms, that's not the only way to appreciate the style.</p><p>"Gothic home decor can be as full on as you like or as minimalist as you like," Arnett said. Even adding small touches in the form of ornaments or wall decor pieces can change the feeling that the space exudes, she added.</p><div type="image" title="A Vampirina dollhouse that Naomi thrifted and painted black. It was originally pink and purple." height="494" width="659" msid="98270852" hostid="261"></div><p>Even if you're on a budget or can't find an exact piece that you like, DIY is always an option, Naomi said.</p><p>"I was lucky enough to find a Vampirina dollhouse at a thrift store last year. It was bright pink and purple, but I spray-painted it black and now it's one of my favorite pieces," Naomi said. "I love finding affordable pieces at thrift stores and modifying them to fit my personal style."</p><p>In recent years, Arnett has also seen an increase in customers who are buying Gothic decor items to complement their non-Gothic style homes.</p><p>They are also especially popular among people living in rented apartments who need temporary ways to personalize their space.</p><p>"I think Gothic decor is growing in interest and has the ability to complement many styles of diverse interiors, from maximalist homes to clean, chic, white-walled homes," Arnett said. "You don't have to call yourself a goth or have black walls to be a Gothic home decor enthusiast." </p><div type="image" title="Naomi's collection of decor items include candelebras, dollhouses, and animal statues." height="686" width="915" msid="98270854" hostid="261"></div><p>For Arnett, Naomi, and the Johnsons, Gothic-inspired decor isn't just for the Halloween season; it's a reflection of their likes and beliefs.</p><p>"It doesn't mean that all Gothic lovers are morbid, it just means they can see beauty in darker subject matters where others may not," Arnett said.</p><p>That said, for Arnett, part of it is the beauty of impermanence. "I adorn my home with beautifully macabre Gothic decor as a reminder to myself and my guests that our time here is limited," she said.</p>

Jared Leto stars as Dr. Morbius, a famed biochemist who, thanks to bat DNA, is cured of a rare blood disease but turned into a blood-sucking pseudo-vampire with amazing superpowers.</p><p>On paper, it seemed like another hit <keyword id="11899344" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="marvel" source="Orion">Marvel</keyword> property. But a lot has happened in the past four years. Most obviously, a global pandemic.</p><p>Through all that time Espinosa has been waiting patiently, having to deal with several release date changes, until his movie could finally be released.</p><p>And while "Morbius" did top the box office over the weekend, its $39 million domestic and <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2064025089/?ref_=bo_hm_rd">$84 million worldwide</a> debut was <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2022/04/03/box-office-morbius-nabs-not-so-marvelous-39-million-debut/?sh=35853f1a19b9">less than marvelous for a Marvel release</a>.

But it was very hard. </p><div type="image" title="Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes in the trailer for &quot;Morbius.&quot;" height="1182" width="2880" msid="90646937" hostid="261"></div><p><strong>One aspect I would imagine that must have been a challenge was how to use Michael Keaton's character, Adrian Toomes. The trailer made it seem like the character was in the movie. But he only <a href="https://www.insider.com/morbius-end-credits-vulture-explanation-breakdown-2022-3">appeared in the end credits</a>. What was the evolution of bringing back Vulture?</strong></p><p>He never existed in the plot of the movie. He never had a part. But the idea of having Michael Keaton in the movie came back before we even shot the movie. It was really related to showing off the Spider-Verse. <br /> <br /><strong>Wow. And correct me if I'm wrong, you started on this movie before "Avengers: Endgame" even came out?</strong></p><p>Right!</p><p><strong>So then it became a question: How do we use Vulture in the end credits? The ideas must have been endless. </strong></p><p>Exactly. </p><p><strong>Now in the second end-credits scene when Vulture and Morbius meet, is that really Michael Keaton's voice or was that some movie magic voice doubling?</strong></p><p>Oh no, that's Keaton's voice! It is him. </p><div type="image" title="Spider-Man: No Way Home: Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire recreate Spider-Man meme" height="1542" width="2057" msid="90646942" hostid="261"></div><strong>Which Spider-Man is in this New York City that Morbius occupies.</strong><p>I can say this, there is a Spider-Man, but which one is something that will be revealed. If I said anything else on this they would shoot me. [<em>Laughs.</em>]</p><p><strong>We don't want that. </strong></p><p>It's exciting and that will be revealed soon. Not like years from now. Soon. </p><p><strong>To tell this story, did you need to know what Spider-Man was in this world?</strong></p><p>Of course. But also, I told Sony that I can make a concept where, as this is going, other things are going on. So Venom out in San Francisco is also happening at the same time. That's what the exciting thing was about this.</p><p>After "Venom" came out, there was a confidence that you can make a Marvel movie that is kind of purified from details of other Marvel <keyword id="11898343" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="movies" source="Orion">movies</keyword>. For me, Tom Hardy was so dedicated to that project that he willed it to work. </p><p><strong>And I would imagine you wanted the same with Jared Leto in your movie. </strong></p><p>Yes. </p><div type="image" title="Venom 2 Sony" height="777" width="1476" msid="90646944" hostid="261"></div><strong>Then do you feel "Morbius" missed its window due to all of the delays and not coming out soon after "Venom"?  </strong><p>Maybe. I mean, when I did "Life," all I heard was I had to be before the next "Alien" movie came out ["Alien: Covenant" opened two months after 2017's "Life"].</p><p>Because, after that movie came out, people wouldn't want to see another movie with aliens. But to me, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the movie is the movie. As the years go by, no one remembers when it came out, just that it exists. </p><p><strong>So "Morbius" is not getting received well by the critics. It has a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Do you pay attention to critical reaction at all? </strong></p><p>When I did my first feature it was a small movie called "Babylon Disease." I remember one day going home on the subway and I had a few drinks so I was a bit drunk. Someone nudged me on the train and said, "I have to tell you what's wrong with the second scene in your feature," and I was like, "Well, okay."</p><p>The point I'm making is that it's a strange thing to make something that is so public. </p><p>Look, I have a lot of self-hatred so I have a lot of criticism of my own work. I'm always trying to focus on being better. But I am also proud of what I do. There are parts in all of my movies that I'm really proud of. </p><p><em>This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.</em></p>
