    Even if they were invisible: why would anybody want to date someone that is literally incapable of even just talking to them?

      It could make for a good Black Mirror episode. Two awkward people buy AI glasses and supposedly fall in love with each other, but they’re always just going along with what the AI tells them to say. They end up both saying they have shared interests that they actually hate and while they’re with their dream romantic interest they had before dating, their whole lives are miserable. Finally in advanced age one is dying and can’t wear the glasses. For the first time in their relationship they’re honest, and the two discover that they actually share their real interests and have tons of things in common. However, for fear being rejected they both spent their whole lives miserable with each other instead of having a potentially perfect life together if only one of them had ever taken the glasses off.

        There’s a futurama episode like this except it’s an incredibly old man and and an incredibly fat woman who use stem cells to look young/fit again.

        When the effects wear off they still get it on. So, maybe the black mirror episode will also have a happy ending too.
