Fascinating - I'm just asking myself how much of the fandom on AO3 and elsewhere is Joaquin Phoenix and the film "Her" responsible for? Will watch for updates on this conversation - wonderful to have an anthropologist romance-specialist's take! 💮🌻❣️
I loved Clara and the sun so much and it's such an interesting counterpart for that aerfect automaton to be a child as well. That desire to be a perfect parent.
I rece rly read an argument that AI only puts out info based on what you feed into it, so really it's just a relationship with yourself. I think about that a lot.
Genius as usual, esp the strong conclusion. So measured and then "ChaptGPT is going to kill us." lol. I love reading your stacks!
Sam, you are the love of my life 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

FASCINATING!!!! When will we be getting your AI romance?!?! (Also, not a romance, but I thought Ishiguro's KLARA AND THE SUN was so good in this vein)

This is so true! I'm thinking of the Greek myth of Narcissus!!!
Isn't this the idea of "a perfect companion who understands us completely," in every romance novel?
