"Can a Computer Fall in Love if It Doesn't Have a Body? Much has been written about Spike Jonze's Her, the Oscar-nominated tale of love between man and operating system. It's an allegory about relationships in a digital age, a Rorschach test for technology. It's also premised on a particular vision of artificial intelligence as capable of experiencing love.

The real question: will we create a "strong" AI?
Obviously a person can fall in love with a computer and a computer can be programmed to fake emotions and original thoughts. Once (or if) we have "genuine" strong AI, the love question becomes more interesting. For example, if the AI outpaces human intelligence, would we be too inferior to hold a relationship of equals? Maybe you would have to augment your own intelligence to stay relevant.
