Move over Dr Google, there’s a new online friend in town.
Turning to AI for relationship advice is fast becoming THE trend for 2025. But should we be relying on a machine to decide big life questions like “will leaving my husband be a great idea or a terrible mistake?” The more we use Artificial Intelligence, the better it gets. That massive machine mind is literally learning on the job. Only a year ago spotting fake AI generated pictures—those with three fingers—was pretty obvious, but today not so much.
While AI is great at crunching numbers or speaking to other computers and eventually will replace relatively common jobs like data analyst or writing computer code, one area where AI isn’t that flash is reading human behaviour.
When it comes to managing predictable machines, AI is in its element but interpreting the subtle nuances of human communication is always going to be a struggle. And to be fair that’s something a lot of us still get wrong!
Fully autonomous cars aren’t allowed on the road because even those super speedy computer brains can’t always accurately anticipate just how humans will respond. If we don’t think an AI driver is safe enough for the school bus run, would we really let that same machine give us quality relationship advice?
