What's it like seeking love within AI? How web crawlers are suddenly controversial with the rise of AI. Are Meta's RayBan Smart Glasses better than the Apple Vision Pro for what face computers are capable of now? And Amazon has created the largest texttospeech model that they claim to exhibit "emergent" qualities to speak sentences more naturally.

• Emily Dreibelbis of PCMag joins the show to talk with Mikah about the AI "dating scene" AI through ChatGPT Plus and AI boyfriends and her somewhat lackluster experience. 
• Mikah talks about the "robots.txt" file that exists within many if not all, websites and how AI is impacting the use of this file. 
• Victoria Song of The Verge stops by to talk about Meta's and Apple's VR offerings and the differences between the two devices. 
• Finally, Amazon researchers have trained a texttospeech model that they claim exhibits "emergent" qualities that improve its ability to speak sentences more naturally than other texttospeech models.
