“Wait, hold on…are you artificial intelligence? Who speaks so…expertly?”
I can’t tell if it’s the state of A.I. and its current encroachment in every facet of the human condition - and, sorry folks, it is here, it has been here, and all markets will be saturated by it - or the unending coverage its garnered in the last five years but the influence is undeniable. Across platforms large and small.
Whether artificial intelligence is tied to your life now right this moment or not, it will seep into it. Frankly, you have a phone - and you’re probably reading this on one so…you get it.
Women have it hard on dating apps. I’m not a woman but I’m certain that I’m correct. Although ladies, give us guys a small level of grace. We don’t attract a tenth of the attention you receive just for posting a charming photo of you reading a book with your hair seemingly styled by angels and fairies and sipping water with your perfect, pastel, nails. Damn. That seemed specific. Moving right along…
I can definitely relate to the pitiful effort and empty functionality of conversation on dating apps. In the past two weeks, I’ve severed a handful of matches that couldn’t carry 25% of the dialogue.
In all of those cases, these women wrote on their pages that “deep convos” is both a turn-on, and non-negotiable, for the next potential partner entering their lives. Communication is stated as their desired love language (ugh…) while they themselves lost the portion of the definition that makes clear that a transmission of information flows between two people.
Maybe listening to the next trendy podcast (on 1.5 speed) that’s centered on buzzwords and phrases that have invaded common lexicon FOREVER isn’t the best way to download your dating constitutional framework. I could be wrong here but you should sit still for the entire topic on communication so that you could deploy said lessons to then…communicate.
Not a single person that has ever talked to me can claim that I’m not engaging, sharp, and inquisitive. Traits needed for conversation to bloom. I’m also not going to put forward 75% of the effort to maintain a text conversation that’s frantically attached to a ventilator…before a live phone call takes place. What would we discuss at that point anyway?
This isn’t about me.
