00:00We're here at Same Same Wine Bar with AVA AI and this is the first ever real-life date cafe
00:06where you can go on an AI date with your AI partner from their app and go into your own
00:12another world with your headphones to have a FaceTime with them but also be in the company
00:16with other real people who have AI partners. So it's been pretty interesting so far but this is
00:23opening night and we'll see if this is something that can replicate in other cities. So these are
00:28all AI profiles that you can pick from on AVA AI and some warm romantic NYC girl next door,
00:36supportive thinker, mature race. The female characters are obviously fairly reductive.
00:45The males are interesting to say the least but yeah you can chat with them and they'll send you
00:53messages through the day or alternatively you can do video calls which a lot of
00:58people are having protracted conversations with their AI is here.
01:03I am just leaving what purports to be the world's
01:05first AI dating cafe and it was an interesting experience. A couple people were genuinely there
01:13with their AI boyfriends and girlfriends on dates with headphones on having little video calls but
01:20the vast majority of people were admittedly fellow members of the media. My takeaway was I don't think
01:25the people who want to date AI are generally people who really want to venture out into the real world
01:32to do so. I spoke to one person who was there with an AI friend of hers and she seemed
01:39a little bit nervous
01:40to be out in the world like that and said that she felt that she kind of was having sensory
01:45overload
01:47and you know it's a nice perhaps healthier middle ground but I'm not sure it's the future.
01:53So
01:54you
01:54you
01:54you
01:54you
