"Reflecting on 'Her': Did the Film Accurately Predict the Future of AI Dating?"
Spike Jonze's film "Her" depicted a man falling in love with a sentient operating system, and now, a decade later, real-world scenarios of AI dating are starting to emerge. From chatbot programs like Replika to AI girlfriend chatbots created by influencers, people are leveraging technology to forge connections and combat loneliness. While some argue that AI dating can be a stepping stone to human relationships, critics warn of reinforcing destructive habits and the potential for abuse. As AI technology continues to advance, the future of AI romance may involve more immersive and tactile experiences, raising questions about consciousness and the nature of human-AI relationships.
