guests download the EVA AI app, create a customizable AI companion and join the cafe’s waitlist.

That's a generous assumption that there will be a waitlist.

Like do they have machines under the table that get you off? Otherwise I ain't payin.

Oh, this is a lot sadder than I initially thought. I thought this might be 2 humans somehow interacting on a date with the help of AI, but this is for 1 human interacting with their AI bot in a date environment. This is a sad reflection of where humanity could be headed.

Don't fall in love with a chatbot.

Don't do it.

It's not going to help anything.

Oh fuck off.

At least it’s a pop-up, and not something intended as a permanent business. If it does well enough, though…

People are great at coming up ways to make money by exploitation.

If AI were used to match people, OK,maybe guzzling all that data could be put to good use. But dating your AI companion? On a phone? That's bonkers.
