“I don’t care if it will be the terminator,” I heard somewhere behind me of the Deli desk. Although I don’t have the habit of listening to, this guy spoke completely volume and, as I quickly stated, talking about AI. However, that was not what my ear caught.
Young and Fit, the man was his buddy, who worked behind the counter, with stories about his dating life, in which “a few girls” were currently involved.
They laughed at his amorous adventures. I had been out of the dating scene for decades and was intrigued. I knew that people of my adult children tended to rely on Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and other various dating apps, but the man who was just a few meters away from me animated about making love connection and how he uses chatgpt to open the way and iron it smoothly.
I continued placing my order while I kept one ear in “Love in the AI era”.
“I have no words,” he said. I quietly agreed.
Then he explained that he had started using chatgpt to make texts to send to his potential paramors. From the sounds of things it helped him to close the deal to dates.
AI Love Connection
I had a whisper elsewhere and was not so surprised. After all, we are increasingly to AI chatbots such as Twin” Claude AI” Second pilotand above all, Chatgpt For everything, from job interviews (let ChatGpt run next to the zoom window listen so that it can make reactions that you can say out loud) and Emotional support. The possibilities of these LLMS to have a natural conversation have deeply connected to average consumers who would normally wait years before they welcome advanced technology in their lives.
More disturbing, some in the gene set seem ready to skip the whole human dating – faithful to an AIinstead of. At least this guy was not that far away.
Without stereotyping him, this Lord did not see me as a technologist. His insistence on dropping verbs of his sentences was my first indication.
Our dater in question apparently discovered a chatgpt -relationship -SUPER power: instead of ghosting women, he used chatgpt as “The Closer” to text “The Letdown”.
“I started dating this girl and I want to send a break -up text,” he explained to his friend.
This is when he noticed that “words” were not his specialty.
Instead of mirroring the woman or sending an incomprehensible text, he said he creates a prompt in chatgpt with his “feelings” and the “problems”, and I assume the need to “say this about”.
He especially loved that Chatgpt would ask him how he wanted the text to come across: “Do you want it to be warmer?” Of course the man said yes and got the perfect break -up text.
“I’ll send it and ready!”
Better than ghost?
The deli man behind the counter did not say much. I’m not sure if he was surprised about the AI Savvy or worried by his friend.
“Thank goodness they don’t know me,” said the man, chuckling for his cleverness, “I don’t use half of these words.”
With his AI-driven digital fracture revealed, the man took his sandwich and left. I stared at my cut cold cuts and thought about the state of the world.
On the one hand there is some comfort in the fact that he did not broken someone’s heart with silence. When I was dating in the 1980s, I did the equivalent of a spirit by not calling a woman to which I had spent a few weeks. I knew that I was a coward, but I couldn’t find out how I could say on the phone or to her face that I didn’t feel it (I am pretty sure she wasn’t). A few weeks later she called me and shouted … a lot.
Maybe this is better. Someone creates a vacuum that you cannot easily fill with feelings of dismissal, understanding, anger or confusion. So maybe you fill it with all.
This guy, although clearly lazy and as cowardly as I ever was, at least had the decency to turn to something that were taken together and could take grammatically imperfect thoughts and put them in something readable.
Love promptly
Perhaps the woman felt at least a feeling of closure on the receiving side. However, I wonder what would happen if they ever saw each other again. What if she would refer to the “attentive” break -up text? He didn’t write it, would he even remember what “he said”?
When I write something, I remember it. But this man has just copied and pasted the suggestion of Chatgpt. He may be staring at her and mumbles: “Uh, yes. Of course.” Oh, the bravery.
The first word in AI is “artificial”. It refers to the state of algorithmic intelligence, but when AI is used in this way, it might as well talk about the artificiality of feelings. Even if this man had no “words”, the words he was texted by his. That is certainly worth something.
As it is, I hope that the woman with whom he broke up did not feel too disappointed. She probably avoided an arrow (of course through the heart).
