About this episode

The episode discusses the phenomenon of people falling in love with AI companions, drawing parallels to the film 'Her' and exploring the implications of AI in relationships.

With hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in AI it was only a matter of time before parts of the 2013 film, Her, started to play out in real time. Liv brings Jake, Julian, and Travis multiple accounts of people falling in love with their AI companions and compares the accounts of people falling in love with their AI companions, and compares the relationship portrayed in the movie to those with a digital ScarJo of their own. They then explore how OpenAI allowed for this movie scenario to become a reality and the possible reasons behind turning to a digital partner when seeking companionship. Jake is intimately concerned.
