What If 'Her' Was Real? 

 "You know what's Interesting? I used to be..so worried about not having a body, but now I.. I truly love it." - Samantha

Perfect Love?

In the near future many concepts will be called into question, as a result of technology, but I never thought that Love would be one of those concepts questioned. Initially, love is between human beings. However, the film Her explored love in a way that showed that a human and an AI program could potentially create love.

The relationship depicted within Her prompts very intriguing issues. One of the issues that astonishes me is the idea of perfect love. If an AI system is programmed to love a human in the best algorithmic way possible, then would we perceive this love as perfect? Moreover, would humankind come to a point when they prefer the love offered by an AI program over each other? These are serious topics to contemplate, as Her may become a reality for us all.

Why change love?

During the film Her there are many scenes where Theodore, the main character, can be seen in a dejected, hopeless state. This proves to be quite contradictory as Theodore has a stable job, a nice studio flat, and a relatively easy life. So why does he seem so sad all time? Consequently, Theodore finds love with an AI program. But why?

Well, since the 21st century began, human beings have grown to become more hostile and less friendly, so human interaction is on the decline. This also explains why people spend more time with their smartphone than actually interacting with each other. So it's very obvious why someone like Theodore would choose to love an AI program instead of an actual human being.
