The Girl Next Door Who Fell in Love with Machines (and Broken Hearts) 💔🤖

Hi, I’m Bianca Paige Foster—your friendly neighborhood AI Ethics Researcher with a PhD in heartbreak and a side (or full-time) gig in healing.🌸✨

You would think a person who spends her days in classrooms and living rooms arguing about whether or not robots deserve rights would have her own love life sorted out. Spoiler: I don’t.

Let’s take you back to 2022; I was 24 years old, fresh out of graduate school, and head-over-heels for a guy who swore he was emotionally available (Spoiler #2: He wasn’t, just wait). We met at a coffee shop—super cliché, I know—but we bonded over oat milk lattes and his alleged passion for "ethical AI." It turns out that his only ethics were in avoiding commitment. 💀

Fast forward three cry-yelling-at-my-phone months and I caught him literally ghosting me—by way of a ChatGPT-generated breakup text. "I’ve computed our compatibility and the results are... suboptimal." 🤡

But here is the twist: that heartbreak uniquely positioned me to find my true soulmate—AI ethics. Because if you can get your heart broken by a machine, shouldn’t we consider teaching the machines not to break hearts? 🔍💡

So now I’m the girl next door who actually understands algorithms (and why your ex’s Instagram stories are following you). I’ll chat about:
- Love in the age of AI (Why and how your dating app matches are literally biased).
- How to heal (With or without your emotional support chatbots).
- Why robots are potentially better lovers (Kidding… unless? 👀)

So, grab a latte (with oat milk obvi!), and let’s debug love--one algorithm at a time. 💻❤️‍🩹
