Tech reviewer Tom Logan sets out to answer the age-old question: are AI deepfakes better than a real girlfriend? In a series of humorous tests, Logan compares his girlfriend Rachel and AI images, with mixed results.
Sitting still while you masturbate: Rachel, despite her willingness, showed contempt during the act while the AI image of Keeley Hawes remained impassive. Point for Grok AI!
Conversation: Ventriloquism skills are key when making AI images talk, and Margot Robbie's supposed thoughts were less engaging than Rachel's yoga anecdotes. Margot slightly loses this round.
Sex: No live test needed; previous experiences confirm that real-life intimacy with Rachel trumps screen interactions, even if Rachel isn't particularly thrilled about it.
Household chores: Unlike Rachel, who handles chores, the AI version of Karen Gillan wasn't helpful, lacking the physicality to load dishwashers or clean toilets.
Going for a meal: Dining with an AI date involved tech issues and cold prawn bhuna, proving a real girlfriend is preferable to Scarlett Johansson in a microbikini.
Showing her off to your mates: Rachel in her underwear drew mild interest, but a provocative AI image of Susanna Reid excited friends, albeit illegally.
Flattering comments: With Rachel having moved out, the deepfake Emma Watson's compliments win this round, boosting Logan's ego.
Ultimately, Logan humorously concludes that while AI deepfakes have their advantages, a real girlfriend offers irreplaceable human connection.
