    Deep Dive: Romantic AI

    Why do people choose to "date" AI chatbots? Will chatbots undermine or enhance the social skills required for connecting with other humans?

Seeking insights, Paul and Eli invite two experts at the human/AI interface—Paul Bloom and Benjamin Karney—for a wide-ranging, fast-paced, and enlightening discussion.

    Sleepless In Seattle (1993) with Yuthika Girme

    How does singlehood differ for men and women? When are romantic beliefs healthy rather than unhealthy? Is it typical for young children to play matchmaker for their parents?

    Casablanca (1942) with Laurie Santos

    When are people inspired to make life-altering sacrifices? How can romantic partners bring out the best in each other? Why is choosing between two partners overwhelming?
