Not Yet Advanced Enough

Love seems to drive us all. While today might not be the best, you know that tomorrow will be better. You know that there is someone there, watching out for you. That keeps you going in life. The comfort and validation you get when you are loved is incomparable. You feel safe, you feel loved.

Noticing this pattern in human behavior, robots have become curious. Though they have no desire, the sole purpose of their creation is to observe. To observe and learn, and that is exactly what they will do. Now that dating sites have become the new cupid, setting up couples left and right, robots want to join in. What makes her swipe left? What makes him swipe right? What features are more desirable? In order to create a persona the epitome of the beauty standard, these robots have begun analyzing countless matches. However, microtrends are not making it any easier. One day blondes are in, the next they are out. The profiles of robots are now altered. A mix of green eyes and brown, an explosion of fingers, and a bio full of generic names and hobbies mashed together. People are questioning who this Martha Brown is and how she is working a nine to five while fishing as a hobby and sewing at night while still being a mom of nine.

Despite receiving many reports on these fake personas, robots have not seemed to quit. The accomplishment of finding out a human's desire for love is much too alluring for these unfeeling machines.
