Move aside, zombie apocalypse! With the release of sci-fi thriller “Ex Machina” on the silver screen and AMC’s new series “Humans” set to premiere in June, it would seem that entertainment involving AIs (Artificial Intelligence, or robots, basically) is the next big thing. It could be because Stephen Hawking was recently quoted saying that the development of artificial intelligence could basically end the world. Oh, but don’t worry, you can count on human beings not to listen to one of the world’s top physicists and go for it, anyway (see “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” for this one. Never listen to Tony Stark). In any case, it had us thinking what it’d be like dating one of the these all-knowing machines, so we created a list of all the pros and cons so you can decide. You may have to wait a few decades, but when you’ve already wasted so much time with a total douchebag, no wait is too long.
Pro: He’s easy to shop for.
Meaning, you don’t have to shop for him at all. He doesn’t eat or wear clothes.
Con: He’s a little too honest.
He’ll tell you like it is. No, that dress doesn’t make you look fat, you make you look fat.
Pro: No more chores.
He’ll be making the sandwiches and washing the dishes, as it should be.
Con: He’ll constantly correct you or out-smart you.
Here comes the grammar police.
Pro: He won’t have any annoying friends.
So you don’t have to worry about them turning him into a total jerk.
Con: He won’t have any friends at all.
Maybe not even you. But you are stuck with him. 24/7, 365.
Pro: He’ll actually listen when you tell him to shut up.
Who’s the boss now?!
Con: Obviously, he doesn’t care about social conventions.
So don’t expect roses on V-day or your birthday.
Pro: He won’t get jealous.
So you can hang out with your guy friends without worrying about how he’ll take it.
Con: Actually, he won’t care. At all.
Well, what did you expect? He’s a robot!
