People in 2024 aren’t just swiping right and left on online dating apps — some are crafting their perfect AI match and entering relationships with chatbots.
Eric Schmidt, Google’s former CEO, recently shared his concerns about young men creating AI romantic partners and said he believes that AI dating will actually increase loneliness.
“This is a good example of an unexpected problem of existing technology,” Schmidt said in a conversation about AI dangers and regulation on “The Prof G Show” with Scott Galloway released Sunday.
Schmidt said an emotionally and physically “perfect” AI girlfriendcould create a scenario in which a younger male becomes obsessed and allows the AI to take over their thinking.
“That kind of obsession is possible,” Schmidt said in the interview. “Especially for people who are not fully formed.”
@Stopthatgirl7 lol. can anything come close to the real thing? while knowing it’s a simulacra?
I think it spells more trouble for young women
well, considering dating is usually couple’s activity, it spells trouble for all of them.
Futurama warned us about this!
Came here to say just that. Mr CEO over not thinking this would happen is just detached from the world.
Lonely people aren’t lonely by choice a lot of the time, they just can’t find a place they fit in. You find out there is a place you can chat with “someone” that understands and that is all it takes.
You can’t just say that and not link it!
Eh, young women have been lusting after fictional characters like Mr Darcy, likely for as long as we’ve had literature.
These fictional characters can talk back, but it’s not really anything new.
I want to see the unfolding of a scorching romance between two partners, each not knowing that the other is an AI.
Here’s is a movie plot for you
Two sentient AI forces into the industry of artificial partners meet and develop human emotions
