robots that hunt, love
Hunting is the chasing and killing of wild animals by people or other animals, for food or as a sport.
Hunting is the activity of searching for a particular thing.
If you say that a place is a good hunting ground for something, you mean that people who have a particular interest are likely to find something that they want there.
Specifically, hunting is the pursuit of game.
In the dystopian film “The Lobster”, people have 45 days to find a partner, or they will be transformed into an animal of their choice.
In this video, the famous child-friendly CozmoBot is trying to find ways to attract and express its love to a guinea pig. Since just the “I love you” phrase simply fails, CozmoBot is trying other approaches by offering a flower or a carrot. The latter ends with the guinea pig munching the carrot.
While CozmoBot fails in fullfilling its love with an animal, another category of bots is really successful at disguising themselves to find human mates. Just take a look at this article, one of the many, with tips on how to tell that your Tinder match is a bot.
The Lovster
You can find it deep into the woods
or in any other place one would consider
“the middle of nowhere”
Lovster is a siren booth
neurotically calling for a mate
lights and colors it can wear
But Lovster is a loving trap
can only win the game
by filling its belly with a prey
Otherwise Lovster is doomed to switch off
and turn into a Tinder bot
after 45 days
