If someone needs/wants to use AI to do extremely simple things like plan their date activities, that's a good indication that they are an exceedingly uninteresting and unengaging person overall. They can't even do the simple things, so the hard stuff in life is going to be insurmountable and they'll be a massive burden on their friends and partner(s). Where's the incentive to "give them a chance" in this scenario? The books at home are the better option by far.

This reminds me of when I was a teenager, spending time chatting with multiple people simultaneously on MSN Messenger and AIM (man, how did I manage that?) There were some people who'd just say, "I'm bored." That's it. I never knew how to respond. I usually said something like, "Oh, that sucks." But their conversations never went anywhere besides complaining about boredom, so I usually stopped talking pretty quick. I get the impression they were just looking to have me entertain them somehow, despite putting no effort into making it worth my while. Bruh, I'm having three other conversations about fascinating topics, catching up with a friend living in another continent, and participating in a group RPG, all without anybody whining that they can't think of something to do. Step up or step out, your boredom isn't my problem.

I mean no one can force you to do something you don't want, or can force you to have a certain opinion about something. But the difference here with you, I would assume anyways, that a) you didn't make this up like this person probably did and b) you probably wouldn't feel the need to go home and get on your soapbox and put that person on blast on your social media for it. That's kind of stupid when you think about it. What if that guy or gal reads that? Great way to put someone down and hurt their feelings.

How is this different then googling date ideas and clicking a listacle? Effort wise it's about the same and you could make the same argument on their reliance on Google/Internet. It seems that Internet dependence has become accepted as the norm while AI dependence is still new enough that there are people who don't regularly use it and thus feel superior for their independence in this one specific area.

If someone makes a judgment call on something so petty as this, that's an indicator they're a picky pain in the ass. God knows what she will next find offensive.
