According to people like Elon Musk or Sam Altman, robots will be very common within a few years. They will take care of the children, they will do domestic tasks and such things. Of course, they will be company. However, there is an issue that begins to sound strongly: The possibility of falling in love with a AI. Yes, how in films like Her o Company robotbut in reality.
This, thus suddenly released, may sound like something very distant and typical of science fiction. However, young people seem to have it much clearer and assume it eminently. So much that many of them would even be willing to accept that they would marry an AI. They would not see it with bad eyes, after all. What has changed to normalize something like that?
Young people would marry an artificial intelligence
Could young people marry an AI? The answer, although it may surprise some, is a resounding yes. The data demonstrates it. A recent survey carried out by the Digital Company platform Joi AI, interviewed 2,000 people born between 1997 and 2012. The results reveal a surprising opening of generation Z towards possible relations with artificial intelligence.
As curious to sound, 83% of respondents believe they could establish a significant emotional connection with an AI. That is, more or less fall in love with her. Some, even go further, and even formalize it, so to speak. The sample is that 80%, nothing more and nothing less, he said during the survey that he would consider marrying an AI if legal.
And what would happen then with the traditional human couples? Well simple: they would say goodbye to them. In fact, 75% think that an AI couple could completely replace a human being as a partner. What is not specified at all is whether we would be talking about a robot (physical), or only a digital AI, as seen in the film Herthat, seen what was seen, he advanced in his time.
Because of course, however technological it is, what would happen to the carnal part of the relationship? In this sense, it is important to put into the mentality of a member of the Z generation. They are accustomed to talking with people around the world, WhatsApp or whatever, and sometimes seeing can be something secondary. That is, physical contact may not be necessary.
Interest in possible human relationships grows
After seeing the results of the survey, one might think: well, the portal is part interested in the AI issue, and if a young man from the Z generation asked something like that unexpectedly, it is easy for him to respond with a classic, and why not? But the study shows that it is not just about that. Interest exists, goes further and demonstrates in another interesting event.
The research itself detected an increase in interest in Google searches related to love towards an AI (120% more) and «fall in love with an AI» (grew by 132%) between March and April of this year. Will the day come when science fiction ceases to be fantasy and become a reality? It is a topic that gives to think, and a lot.
