Are you dating a human or a chatbot? You’re using a Large Language Model to flirt, to connect, to tell your spouse you love them, then wondering why the spark is dead. You haven’t just outsourced the ‘work’ of your relationship; you’ve outsourced the soul.

In this episode of Every Shade, Nina rants about the rise of the Relational Outsourcing. We are benchmarking our real-life connections against ‘AI Values’ and Instagram power couples, trading spontaneous empathy for predictive models that prioritize engagement over actual intimacy.

In this episode, we discuss:

* Why outsourcing your “I’m sorry” texts to ChatGPT is the beginning of the end.

* The “Instagram Power Couple” trap: How we perform intimacy for an algorithm.

* Why we are losing the capacity for spontaneous empathy.

* How to reclaim your relationship from your phone.

It’s a rant. I am not a licensed therapist. Enjoy with discretion.

Until next time, it’s Every Shade.
