> He took out his phone, opened ChatGPT, and asked for restaurant suggestions. Why get close to someone who outsources decisions, including the fun ones like picking where to eat? If someone is so lazy they’ll hit up ChatGPT to plan a first date, imagine how little effort they’ll spend six months in.
Do they have a similar reaction to searching "restaurants near here" in a maps app? Practically any time I go out to eat I'm either going to one or two favorite places, or I'm looking on the internet where something gives me a list of possibilities.
It's not like I've memorized every local restaurant, so looking online for recommendations online is a way to learn about new places.
- arccy 1y agoi mean it sounds like he started asking chatgpt before even asking the other person what they'd like...
- tanseydavid 1y agoIn the initial exchange from the article the author states to the groom "the Venue is perfect!" to which the groom replies "I found it with ChatGPT." To suddenly go from "this is perfect" to "ick" is a problem with being too judgmental and not self-regulating.

- satisfice 1y agoWhen someone asks ChatGPT for restaurant suggestions, it should reply “Do I look like Google Maps to you?” or perhaps “Can I Yelp you with something?”

- wlesieutre 1y agoHonestly, my favorite places aren't the place I'd want to take a first date. They're casual and cheap and wouldn't convey that I was trying very hard.

Unless you're talking about fast food, what's the problem? Tip #2: Don't pretend your lifestyle is going to fancy places, she'll come to expect that. Just be you. You like the local Coney Island? Go for it. I mean... unless your norm is Taco Bell in which case yeah, take it up a notch.
