Robotic Romance; Psychology Behind Artificial Love

Abstract

Emma was straight out of a movie-- gorgeous blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, always smiling. Her intellect was astounding everyone around her, knowing numerous languages and always knowing the answer to every question. So, it doesn't seem surprising when Geof Gallagher completely fell in love with her. Each night he and Emma would read the newspaper, watch a show, or have a deep conversation about everything and anything. When Geoff was finally ready for bed, all he had to do was remember to plug Emma in so she could recharge for the next day. He couldn't be happier with his robot "wife" (Bell, 2020)
