Wild Conversations: Love + AI with Tiaan Esterhuizen

Love & AI: Algorithms, Intimacy, and Digital Soulmates

Some loves begin with a glance. Others, with a swipe. But what happens when love begins with a prompt?
In this episode of Cosecha Salvaje: Wild Conversations, I'm joined by my best everything, my favorite person in the world Tiaan Esterhuizen for a messy, honest, and raw conversation about love in the age of algorithms.
Together, they explore:
💘 Why people are falling for AI companions🤖 Whether simulated love can still be real💔 Emotional intimacy without risk, is it love, or control?🧠 How AI might be training us to expect perfect emotional service
Featuring reflections on apps like Replika and Character.AI, stories from around the globe, and raw questions about intimacy, validation, and the future of human connection.
