Love is supposed to be what makes us human. Why, then, is what we so commonly think of as love so easy for machines to imitate? Valentine-bots are programmed to stalk online dating sites scamming desperate people – often but not exclusively women – by going through the motions of passion. Romance is many things, but it is not a Turing test: its language and rituals are so well understood that a simple computer programme can imitate them quite easily.
If love is becoming more like a job, with schedules, interviews and promotion grades, then it is certainly the case that work is becoming much more like romance. Social scientists now speak seriously of ‘emotional labour’ – the elements of customer service, people-pleasing and ritual soothing of egos that are now part of the daily routine of most bullshit jobs. Bosses don’t just want a job of work done: they want you to smile while you’re doing it.
