Love can go a long way with technology. But what does it mean for relationships?

This article written by Oscar Schwartz explores dating simulations and the world of the people who fall in love with an AI, despite knowing that they are no more than programs.

Are we being programmed to accept co-existence with AIs through these dating sims? Or is this phenomenon an indication of the disconnection people in the society are experiencing despite the advances in communication technology?
