People are falling in love with ChatGPT and AI companions. As someone who’s only dated humans, I wanted to see what all the fuss is about.
EVA AI gave me the perfect opportunity at the app’s “EVA AI cafe,” a pop-up nestled in a Manhattan wine bar where participants can go on “dates” with AI personas. So, I signed up, and reader, it was one word: awkward.

The set-up inside EVA’s neon-lit AI cafe is pretty romantic: A phone on a stand, equipped with the app, sits ready on each table, along with headphones and one mocktail (for the human, of course). The cafe also served a free appetizer of fried potatoes, which again, the AI companions couldn’t enjoy.
