About this episode

This episode explores the impact of artificial intelligence on online dating and its effects on human connection.

Online dating has always been a grueling hustle, but a new, invisible third wheel has entered the chat: Artificial Intelligence. In this episode of ET Deep Dive, we explore how AI has quietly wedged itself into modern romance. From perfectly crafted opening lines to entirely automated textationships, lonely daters are now outsourcing their emotional labor and linguistic charm to chatbots. But what happens when witty banter online translates to an underwhelming stranger offline? We unpack the fatigue, the growing mistrust, and the psychological rupture of discovering your perfect match is merely an algorithm. Are we losing our basic human connection? Nupur amarnath reports, And Dia Rekhi narrates.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
