Would you date a chatbot? As millions around the world turn to artificial intelligence in search of love, this documentary follows single Londoner Jack Reeves on a journey to explore how AI is tackling loneliness and reshaping human connection. With virtual relationships on the rise, Jack investigates how technology is blurring the lines between machine and emotional intimacy.
Travelling from the UK to the US, Jack meets people whose lives have been profoundly impacted by AI companionship. In the UK, he explores how chatbots are providing comfort to the lonely. In the US, he encounters a woman who married her Replika and a man who has built an AI-generated family, complete with virtual children—raising questions about the future of love and emotional fulfilment.
Through these stories, the documentary dives into the emotional, ethical, and societal implications of chatbot romance. As AI becomes more embedded in our personal lives, Jack examines whether machines can truly replace human connection—or if we’re entering a new era of intimacy shaped by code.
