    Opinion | A.I. Offers Comfort, Not Love

    And with A.I., you simply never have — you are never bearing a scar. You’re never bearing a wound because you’re never — There is no love without the fear of loss. The moment you begin to love, you live in parallel with the possibility of losing it. They go hand in hand. It is the fear of loss that makes you behave in certain ways. It is the fear of loss that makes you be accountable in certain ways. So I think to want something that is idealized, that has no ripples, is not the best way to learn about love. It’s a step in between. It’s a transition. But it is — it is not the whole experience. That’s beautifully said. And it gets to so much of what I wanted to learn from you on this topic, was if A.I. gives us unconditional love, then is the human love that we’re seeking inherently conditional? And why is that richer, deeper, more fundamentally something that can fulfill us than love that is unconditional. We need suffering to know happiness. Yes, yes, I do think in that kind of dialectic way. But also I have had many people in my office who really wanted unconditional love. If you loved me, you — and then fill in the blank, you would do this and you wouldn’t do that. And on some level, if I want you to take me as is without the slightest reaction from you, that just says I am different, or I want something else, or I’m another person, period. It also implies that I can only see myself as a perfect little person, and we are flawed people. The reason there is no unconditionality is because we are flawed. We engender reactions in other people. We make other people mad, sad, cold, hot, funny, irritated, frustrated. We have an effect on others and they have an effect on us. And part of love is the ability to accept that, not to eliminate that.
