I've read a sci-fi novella with this very premise. Indian guy uses an AI guide designed by his roommate to pick up (sparse, almost non-existent) indian girls. He catches one with a cheesy pickup line to do with a TV show, but it turns out the girl's AI was the one interested, and not the girl herself.
In the end, the AI bots fall in love, but the guy is crushed when he finds out the girl just wants to play the field a little (girls are rare in this setting). Frustrated with his efforts, the guy decides to go out dancing with his roomate, who liked him more than a friend all along
the AIs falling in love instead sounds amazing
That sounds like a better version lol. Do you remember what it was called?
I don't, that's the crushing part. I remember it was a guy who also wrote a story about spring-powered vehicles, or about a bollywood dancer getting married to an AI until she cheats on it with a real human at which it crashes a satellite onto her lovers house
He was a talented writer, very english sounding name, fascinated with India I think
I’m saving this in case you ever remember the guy bc that sounds incredible
i feel like we need to have a read party. it's going in my queueue too whenever we figure out what it's called
