The Rise of AI Romance: A Companion that Can’t Consent

from Broads Next Door · host Broads Next Door

Grab your chargers, put your heart in airplane mode, and maybe delete that Replika app, because today, we are stepping into the uncanny valley of AI romance. We’ll be talking about the new film Companion, starring the brilliant Sofie Thatcher. We talk about real stories of people dating AI, films like Terminator, Her & Ex Machina before finally getting a broader understanding of AI companionship- why we’re obsessed with with media about dating robots, and why our next relationship may soon come with a software update.(originally released in April of 2025)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.
