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.”
Perfect AI boyfriends are the bigger threat to young men
Could the oldest profession be one of the first to be replaced by AI?
No.
Bad businessman, bad. Everyone knows you don’t bring problems without solutions.
Now what’s the solution? (One that doesn’t involve enslaving women further). Bet he won’t broach the idea of regulating AI companions, that would be bad for profit.
Futurama warned us about this!
“FILL UP PHILIP J FRY!!!”
DON’T DATE ROBOTS!
You can’t just say that and not link it!
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.
I don’t think this is a problem specific to men or adults primarily but children growing up with them. That is if they’ll continue to improve drastically which won’t necessarily happen.
Eriction Problems Schmidt says that he wish he would be young again.
I want to see the unfolding of a scorching romance between two partners, each not knowing that the other is an AI.
New on NBC this spring. Tune in for the drama. AI vs AI Romance Island Server Room.
Here’s is a movie plot for you
Two sentient AI forces into the industry of artificial partners meet and develop human emotions
Fill in the gaps
The problem is that I’m really not sure how you could ever film that.
It would work as a book, maybe. You could structure it as a series of chat logs. Slowly start to drop hints to the reader that suggest that something is wrong with both of them.
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.
clickbait bullshit jfc
Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase ‘head explodes’.
If(match(/.*(Google CEO).*(head explodes).*/gi,title_text)){pass}It’s beyond me that anyone understands this stuff.
It just filters for anything “Google CEO” anything “head explodes” anything1. However, this alone won’t help since you will also need another rule that doesn’t let anything pass that contains just “Google CEO” with a lower priority.

You know, the way this toxic bro culture has evolved, let them build their own romantic partners if actual human women aren’t good enough for them.
Personally, I love my authentic, human, beautiful complicated and unusual wife. I didn’t get to create her, but I’ve gotten to spend almost 20 years figuring her out and it’s been pretty great.
Yeah I can’t imagine wanting perfect and take over the weird dweeb I managed to fall in love with.
But that would require personal work and growth on my part! Joke
What if it’s the other way around – you’re not good enough for actual human women?
I’ll take projection for 100, Alex
When i was younger i totally would’ve been into an ai girlfriend

Herbivores are a thing in Japan… it’s a way to curb humanity’s growth i guess.
