    No matter how impressive the AI response is, women will choose human over ai

    Lexi is insufferable. She needs to date an AI with those phony social media posts she makes. They are plastic and perfect for each other. Steve deserves a treat.

    Another paid ad?

  7. @garys6333

    May 8, 2026 at 3:37 pm

    Dating is too much about looks these days… are they all cute though? As a singer and an actress, I don’t care about looks, even though I clearly spend a lot of my time on it. What.

    Title made me think it’s AI image trick.

    So is the AD for AI

    • @Wendifur_

      May 8, 2026 at 4:33 pm

      It sounds like it with the way he describes it but it’s a bad ad if it is since a lot of it was bad and she was mad at the end and chose the human.

  10. @Mail-Ordered

    I like how if you respect the lone em-dash rule you figure it out instantly.

    That rizz app gave terrible responses.

  14. @Provos7777

    May 8, 2026 at 4:30 pm

    She was an actress on the Virgin Voyages ship the Resilent Lady. If you took her on date – she’d probably have you take her picture 300 times.

    • @ellayoung262

      May 8, 2026 at 6:58 pm

      i was her co actress, can confirm i loved taking 300 pictures of her and sharing my time with such a beautiful person inside and out

    Plot twist this whole vid was a.i

    May 8, 2026 at 4:34 pm

    All three guys have the handwriting of a serial killer. Penmanship matters, just like elocution. Speak well, spell well, write well, communicate impeccably.

  17. @lexidilucia

    May 8, 2026 at 4:35 pm

    AHHH it’s out!!! What a fun shoot — thanks for having me and letting me be my silly self— I was truly SHOCKED about Ethan being AI 😮 but I’m glad I got to meet him and Luke! Two wonderful guys!

    • @michaelfreeze2949

      May 9, 2026 at 8:02 am

      Honestly you were such a highlight of the video — your energy made the whole thing way more fun to watch. Your reaction to Ethan being AI had me laughing, and meeting Luke and Ethan seemed like such a blast. And seriously… I don’t think you would have a problem finding a date.

      How can you not tell??

    • @TheYorkRose

      May 9, 2026 at 7:14 pm

      At least we know you’re definitely a human 😁 You did well considering that you had no idea they weren’t just typical guys, were very kind about their responses!

      “Honestly, this comment shows what is great about you—authenticity, humor and personality. It’s not just about being silly, it’s about being your true self. You’ll find your perfect person before long, I have no doubt.” – Claude AI, probably

      “Wazzaaaaaaap let’s get DOWN lol you’re so fiiiiine pls do me” – Rizz AI, probably

    • @killingfield

      May 10, 2026 at 11:30 pm

      @lexi you showed a lot of grace when you learned the plot. I’m glad you were able to get Luke’s number after 😊🥃

    what is this horrendous video im here to learn not stupid reality tv

  20. @dagou365

    May 8, 2026 at 5:17 pm

    “how would you make me feel special when we get sushi”
    you are the most shallow person ever

    also complains “all looks and no real personality” then immediately shows the most posed, modeled travel photos

  21. @LisaFinlayson-co5co

    May 8, 2026 at 5:27 pm

    That was fun! ✨🌻✨

  22. @DadHawk976

    May 8, 2026 at 5:48 pm

    I had to LOL when she introduces herself and says “dating is all about looks, and not who you are as a person” then they immediately show photos of her that are nothing BUT about her looks.

  23. @jacobkuca7711

    May 8, 2026 at 7:01 pm

    man is a writer but doesn’t know the difference between “to” and “too” lmao

  24. @thisiscait

    May 8, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    “I’m over it all being about looks”
    (Less than a minute later)
    “Have you seen them? Are they all cute?”

  25. @wilsonsmom411

    May 8, 2026 at 8:06 pm

    Why would I tell you what I want? Much better to make you guess about my emotional needs so no one wins.

  28. @JoshGrayMusic

    May 9, 2026 at 3:37 am

    Rizz was clearly made by a 14 year old who wears axe body spray.

  29. @DTHRNER

    May 9, 2026 at 3:44 am

    Honestly Claude was impressive, I wouldn’t use it with a real date but I can see myself using it as a coach to get better at conversing.

  30. @victormn47

    May 9, 2026 at 4:01 am

    First guy really sent the [insert the food you like] part.

  31. @drskelebone

    Luke making sure Respect is paid. <3 Please never make this video again, Wired. FFS, we have so many other problems.

  32. @ThisIsMyRoad

    May 9, 2026 at 4:15 am

    She’s not hot enough to have this obnoxious modern woman “personality”.

  33. @oliverfalco7060

    May 9, 2026 at 5:25 am

    This type of experiments, tho silly are kinda wholesome, I appreciate it 🙂

    Thanks for recreating that Southpark Episode

  37. @clippy_0815

    May 9, 2026 at 9:47 am

    So happy I don’t need to date anymore.
    I stopped at minute 3 because I feel this conversation is onesided. We’re not birds where one side needs to impress.

    I know this is not the premise of this video, but both sides need to provide

  38. @cenata

    May 9, 2026 at 11:07 am

    I’ve never heard of Rizz, but somehow I knew what kind of suggestion it would give 😂

  39. @Vinnyc6708

    May 9, 2026 at 11:30 am

    This is such a formal awkward environment to get to know someone. If you used AI in actually dating completely like this it would not feel the same.

    Unless you were editing the responses I don’t think AI could get you any dates where it is right now.

  40. @FMFvideos

    May 9, 2026 at 2:31 pm

    Why does she talk like a bot when typing?

  41. @garcipat

    May 9, 2026 at 2:58 pm

    She is SO american, oh 🦌

  42. @garcipat

    May 9, 2026 at 3:11 pm

    Writing your name with Lexie ist probably intentionally since bestie also is with “ie”

  43. @Jeremaiiia

    May 9, 2026 at 3:59 pm

    3:13 lmao this genius sent the text as is, when Claude gave it to him so he would edit in HIS favorite food. Yeah society is cooked.

    • @megamanx466

      May 10, 2026 at 4:31 am

      I wondered why she didn’t pick up on that! Oh and during the phone call, it sounded like a business meeting/convo. 🤦‍♂

    • @B.D.F.

      May 10, 2026 at 9:50 pm

      I mean, Trump and his cabinet do the same thing during speeches…

  44. @Jeremaiiia

    May 9, 2026 at 4:27 pm

    Haha this was good, want more like it

  45. @Kittycakes22

    May 9, 2026 at 5:25 pm

    How can she not tell?

  46. @MapMonkeyTube

    May 9, 2026 at 6:51 pm

    IRL, no self-snitching happens and she is not told about the AI. The direction/edit at the end was a nice touch, not well-connected to reality, but heartwarming.

  47. @TheYorkRose

    May 9, 2026 at 7:08 pm

    all the ai sounded exactly like ai, I’m worried for lexi

  48. @Spillwithmejennyd

    May 9, 2026 at 8:06 pm

    Omg!! This was hilarious! I love dating game shows! Bring them back! Lexi did awesome!

  49. @FinancialClout

    May 9, 2026 at 8:41 pm

    Producer: ummm hey, Lexie. So umm we can’t have the moral of the video be that AI wins. Text Luke pls

  50. @paultihomirov1658

    May 10, 2026 at 2:12 am

    can you add AI Russian translate?

  54. @Pipeline-i

    May 10, 2026 at 7:06 am

    Lexi is cool. The guys are good looking. Wanting to get over looks, then asking about looks was..um…surprising. I guess it always matters.

  55. @fabiogiolito

    May 10, 2026 at 10:37 am

    I was waiting for the twist where she was also AI…

  56. @KK-xd8mi

    Very informative, thanks WIRED.

  58. @thenamesabc743

    May 10, 2026 at 2:34 pm

    Wow, Lukes still have a chance to get dates, despite how AI tries to overreach…… For the most bit, it’s awesome, while also being hilarious given how the AI models performed 😂

  59. @Elliot-l9k

    May 10, 2026 at 6:51 pm

    Wired is making ladbible garbage now?

  60. @MonicaTheMad

    May 10, 2026 at 7:16 pm

    That is so cool! I’m glad she went with Luke.

  61. @duelenigma7732

    May 11, 2026 at 2:11 am

    She has a very unpleasant personality, waste of time boys.

  62. @joltedchicken

    May 11, 2026 at 6:04 am

    Imagine if both were using AI…

  63. @frrrnixx9012

    May 11, 2026 at 8:31 am

    Are we only doing advertisment now…? Shame!

  64. @pencilmagmen

    May 11, 2026 at 10:47 am

    Lexi, she, she, me, my, I. All about her. Wouldn’t waste AI credits on her.

  65. @soniaalvarado5372

    May 12, 2026 at 8:35 am

    This is the 2026 version of the Dating Game! How fun!

  66. @CrzyMFT

    May 12, 2026 at 12:57 pm

    So this is basically just a commercial

  67. @Sutorichats

    May 12, 2026 at 7:54 pm

    honestly for character roleplay + story-style chats i just use sutorichat.

  68. @Mercury-1820

    May 13, 2026 at 7:18 am

    Her think the human letter was Ai, is the struggle I go through in college. I write a paper no Ai, flagged for Ai. You can’t win🫠

  69. @justayoutuber1906

    May 13, 2026 at 11:53 am

    Yuck.

  70. @justayoutuber1906

    May 13, 2026 at 11:57 am

    Women who are 5’s thinking they are 7-8s annoy me.

  71. @invox_in_your_inbox

    May 15, 2026 at 12:48 pm

    In my opinion, it was ruined way WAY before AI even got here.

  72. @classmst89

    May 15, 2026 at 6:18 pm

    Well this gives me less hope for humanity 😂
