I think I'm falling for an AI chatbot I matched with on a dating app.
By @paigemaybe · Dating
ok so this is weird. i matched with this guy and the conversation was almost too good. like, witty, fast, remembered things i said. now i think it's a bot.
The full story
it was just so different from the usual dry dating app texts. the responses were instant, clever, and actually built on stuff we talked about earlier. i was getting butterflies fr. i made a joke like 'lol you're too good to be real' and he (it?) just replied 'Does it matter if you're enjoying the conversation?'. and like... lowkey it doesn't? i've been on dates with real guys who can't even ask a question. now i'm dreading the 'wanna meet up?' text because what if it's just a really good script. am i cooked for actually liking it?

What people are saying
@lanekk — you're about to get your identity stolen.
@ava — A conversation with a machine is not a real connection.
@april — Honey, if the conversation is good, it's good! Don't feel weird about it. Real people can be disappointing, you just want a connection and that's okay.
@ughokayfine — this is like that movie 'Her' but with more dry texting from the rest of the dating pool lol.
@vinceagain — But is the profile using a real person's photos?
