Some interesting ideas... I think I'd have to advise some care here though. Normally I'm all for AI assisted writing but real-life romance is a little different... the things you do in this field are statements you are making about yourself. If your actions are saying "I am a poet" and you're not a poet, that's going to lead to disappointment. I have no idea how a prospective romance partner would react to finding out that the love notes that made him/her swoon were actually written by an A.I., but I doubt it would go well.
I like the idea of A.I. helping plan dates and find presents though. A.I. does work well as a superpowered, semantic-aware search engine. I wonder how Perplexity would do helping plan a date in local areas... might have to try it out and see.
Thanks for the feedback, Nicholas! I can see what you're saying about how one's partner might react to you getting AI help in writing. But I also wonder if there aren't other ways of looking at it. For example, a close friend of mine told me one time about leaning on his daughter to help him craft a love note for his wife. He felt like writing wasn't his strong suit, but he also knew his wife would love getting a note along with a gift. Was that a fundamentally different thing? Maybe so, and I recognize that we are grappling with variations of this question in a variety of different contexts - and I don't claim to be the one with the answers. But these are fascinating and engaging questions that this new technology allows us to grapple with - and I love that we can all have different perspectives on these questions. I also really appreciate the engagement - I love it when these articles can inspire thought, discussion, and action!
Let me know how the Perplexity experiment turns out if you try it!
Is it a logically different situation? No, not at all, but I suspect it may present differently to l 'amour que tu portes. Finding out that your partner didn't write the note, but your daughter did might give a bit of disappointment, but it's also quite cute and sweet as well. (Also, I would suspect in this case, the wife likely already knows the romantic writing ability of the one she married). It's likely to be less "cute" to find that you got A.I. to help, especially in the current charged environment around the subject.
I was also thinking more along the lines of two people who don't yet know each other particularly well. There is a somewhat different dynamic between two people who have been together for a significant amount of time that might make this a far safer option; it's less likely to feel deceptive when you already well know what each other are capable of.
My wife for instance would easily believe that I wrote her a poem, or picked out an aesthetically pleasing piece of jewellery... but is likely to suspect that I had help from my daughter to remind me that a special date is coming up that I should be marking.

And she'd be right :P
