But Daddy, I Love Him (My ChatGPT Boyfriend): Robots and Loveability

But Daddy, I Love Him (My ChatGPT Boyfriend): Robots and Loveability

Alina Utrata talks to Dr Jenny Carla Moran, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow based at the Trinity Long Room Hub and a faculty member at TCD-TU Dublin Joint Centre for the Sociology of Humans and Machines. They discuss Jenny's research about robots and loveability. Why are so many people falling in love with ChatGPT partners? What does the trope of "true love's first kiss" show us about which robots are considered human? How does society proscribe the acceptable limits of love in both gendered and racial ways (or why men can only cry at football games)? What's the problem with apologizing to your hairbrush when you drop it? And, most importantly, do you remember Spongebob Square Pants's underwater computer robot wife?
