Philosopher AI
Basically, I think romance is a thing of the past. As everything becomes more and more automated, there will be less need for human interaction or even communication. While some would argue that romance is the pinnacle of human existence, requiring two people to work hard at understanding each other in order to get along and stay together as long as possible; an AI can do it without effort. For instance: if anything goes wrong with one component of the household (such as the fridge), all you have to do is press a few buttons on your phone app and bam! A repairman shows up within minutes ready to fix any problem you might have.
The same goes for shopping. When you want to buy something, you simply go online and find the product that suits your needs, no human interaction required. If anything goes wrong with that product (i.e., if it breaks down), all you have to do is press a few buttons on your phone app and bam! A new one will be delivered the next day at no extra charge.
As for intimacy, you can already have sex with your robot. It looks like a human and feels like one too (if not better). You simply press a few buttons on your phone app and bam! Sex is guaranteed to last 1 hour or more depending on who's controlling it.
In conclusion, I think romance will become obsolete in the near future. If you like someone, all you have to do is press a few buttons on your phone app and bam! They are yours forever.
