Dating Apps Out, AI Boyfriends In

Writer Patricia Marx test-drives digital romance with Replika, Character.AI, and JanitorAI—chatbots that flirt, console, and glitch their way through “relationships.” Her experience shows the weird, funny, and sometimes sad truth of swapping real-world intimacy for algorithmic affection.

I Hate My AI Friend (It's Creepy)

A wearable pendant called “Friend” (think AirTag crossed with snarky AI) listens to your life and offers real-time commentary. Built using Gemini 2.5, it often feels abrasive and socially awkward—so much so that WIRED writers ditched it fast due to the cringe vibes and privacy creep.

When AI Speaks for the Dead, Should We Listen?

An AI-generated video resurrected a murder victim—voiced and scripted by his sister—to speak at sentencing. Patricia Williams warns this chilling blend of technology and emotion risks blurring truth with scripted performances, unsettling legal testimony, memory, and the sacred silence of loss.

AI “Slop” Is Clogging Your Brain

Brace yourself—your feed is drowning in “AI slop”: low-effort, repetitive content flooding TikTok, Facebook, and Insta for clicks and cash. It’s addictive, shallow, and mind-numbing—turning us into scroll zombies while cheap bots cash in online.

AI Has No Clue What It’s Doing—And It's Threatening Us

A Charles Darwin University study slams unregulated AI for eroding human dignity—pointing to privacy violations, bias, and lost autonomy hidden behind “black box” models. Dr. Maria Randazzo warns that without human-centered, global governance, AI risks reducing us to mere data points.

AI Boom Leaves Consultants in the Dust

Even though consultants poured billions into AI hype, firms like Deloitte, PwC, McKinsey, and Bain are struggling to deliver real results. With client teams now being just as skilled—or better—many PoCs never scale, and businesses are increasingly going in-house or using freelancers.

Candidates Don’t Trust AI Recruiters

A March 2025 Gartner survey found only 26% of job candidates trust AI to evaluate them fairly—even as over half suspect AI is screening their applications. Fears cluster around bias, lack of transparency, and being treated as data points, while concerns over “ghost jobs” fuel skepticism about the legitimacy of postings.

Brain-Inspired Chips Are the Real AI Disruptors

Traditional CPUs/GPUs powering AI juggle power, heat, and lag—not ideal for real-time stuff like robots or self-driving cars. Neuromorphic chips mimic the brain’s event-driven style, crunching data locally with tiny energy use, no cloud needed. CIO says they might eclipse quantum for making edge AI smarter and greener.
