From the Department of Love, AI Style: A Russian man has used AI writing to whisper sweet nothings to 5,000+ potential lovers — and find himself a bride.
Observes Alexander Zhadan: “I proposed to a girl with whom ChatGPT had been communicating for me for a year.
“To do this, the neural network re-communicated with 5,239 other girls — whom it eliminated as unnecessary and left only one.”
Zhadan also credits ChatGPT for engaging in small talk, planning dates and ultimately assisting him in proposing to his fiancée, according to writer Pranav Dixit.
No word yet if Zhadan also plans to off-load other affairs-of-the-heart tasks to automation.

*Google Bets You’ll Ditch ChatGPT Plus for Gemini Advanced: Google has come out with a serious commercial competitor to ChatGPT, dubbed ‘Gemini Advanced.’
Available for $19.99/month — after an initial free, 2-month trial — the AI-writer-and-more “not only allows you to have longer, more detailed conversations — it also better understands the context from your previous prompts,” according to Sissie Hsiao, a vice president at Google.
For writers and content creators, Gemini Advanced can also “go from idea-to-creation by generating fresh content, analyzing recent trends and brainstorming improved ways to grow their audiences,” Hsiao adds.
Although the jury’s still out on a head-to-head comparison between Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus, this is great news for writers.
Stiff competition amidst tech titans is one of the best guarantees for ever-more sophisticated AI writing tools.
