Black Mirror S7 Ep3 Recap & When Love Lives in Code

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of love, identity, and emotional connection in AI, and briefly references ethical concerns around AI consciousness.

In this live episode of Monday Science, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham dives into the third episode of Black Mirror Season 7, “Hotel Reverie,” starring Issa Rae. This episode blurs the line between simulated affection and human emotion, asking: What if the person you loved only existed in code?

Bahijja explores the emotional and ethical implications of falling in love with an AI, the limits of memory and agency in simulated consciousness, and the question of whether virtual intimacy can replace—or enhance—real-life relationships. Drawing connections to real-world examples like emotional AI companions, voice cloning in Hollywood, and the growing phenomenon of love in the metaverse, this conversation is both deeply human and technologically grounded.

💬 Topics explored:

  • AI consciousness, memory, and emotional residue

  • Virtual reality love stories and metaverse relationships

  • The creative stagnation in film and science

  • Ethical dilemmas of sentient AI and identity

  • Real-world case studies: Replica, James Earl Jones’ AI voice, and Peter Scott-Morgan’s journey as a cyborg

Whether you’re a Black Mirror fan or just curious about the future of tech and human emotion, this episode will leave you reflecting on what it means to love, remember, and connect.
