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.

It doesn't even matter if AI or not. The point is, if you're too dumb/lazy/busy/whatever to come up with an idea yourself, at least don't tell your date that you are.

Honestly the listacle is a bit cringe if you're at an age where most people can be expected to have been on a few dates. There's a huge difference between searching for coffee shops/museums/whatever else in your area or even "things to do in x area" and searching for first date ideas. The former says you have a structure in mind, but you don't necessarily know the specific locations, the latter says you have no idea and didn't think the first source to ask is the person you're going on a date with. And as for llms vs general internet use goes? Yeah using llms is a turn off. I find the ability to write for oneself and process and analyze text for themselves important traits in a partner. What I've seen from llm users is that they often cede those skills.

> How is this different then googling date ideas and clicking a listacle? If I was about to go on a date with somebody and I said "Okay, I did a Google search for date ideas and I found a listicle" I would expect to be ghosted, too. Probably preceded by some hilarious laughter.

It's not, but people just want to be *angry* and climb on soapboxes.
