585: The Future of Dating

I watched The Future of… Dating on Netflix — it’s the second episode of this docuseries where they basically let tech experts fantasize about how we’ll live, love, and probably be surveilled to death in the near future. This one’s all about how dating might look with AI, biometric scanners, and wearable devices reading your vibes to find your soulmate.

Funny thing though, this episode came out three years ago. THREE. In tech years, that’s like watching cave paintings predict Tinder. Maybe I should stop watching it before I spiral into a full-blown existential crisis about how fast everything moves now.

Anyway, the future of dating… it’s basically like a game. Gamers might love it — matching based on data, unlocking romance achievements, maybe even fighting off boss-level emotional baggage.

Old-school romantics might find it weird, but honestly, I’ve never even used a dating app out of sheer laziness. I still think AI is just a tool; in the end, it’s us awkward, flawed humans who have to decide if we actually want to emotionally connect or not.
