夜雨聆风Are you having any luck finding a new girlfriend?
你找新女朋友这件事有进展吗？
No, I'm not. I haven't found anyone I like.
没有，我还没有遇到我喜欢的人。
So they are all after my money and a fancy lifestyle.
所以她们全都贪图我的钱财和奢华的生活方式。
Whatever happened to real love?
真正的爱情到底怎么了？
I don't know. The same thought has occurred to me lately.
我不知道，最近我也冒出同样的想法。
I'm afraid I'm becoming a bit of a cynic.
恐怕我变得有点愤世嫉俗了。
I was just reading about some new robots called AIs.
我刚刚读到一些被叫做人工智能的新型机器人。
They have artificial intelligence, or AI.
它们拥有人工智能，简称AI。
Yes, I've heard about it, and they've been in some movies too.
是的，我听说过，不少电影里面也出现过。
Evidently, these new AIs can be very attractive companions.
显然，新一代人工智能可以成为十分迷人的伴侣。
What do you think about that?
你对这件事怎么看？
You must be kidding. Relating to a smart robot. It sounds sick to me.
你在开玩笑吧？和智能机器人谈恋爱，我听着就觉得很荒唐。
I don't know, maybe not. I wonder what it would be like to have an AI girlfriend.
不好说，或许未必。我很好奇拥有一个AI女友会是什么体验。
Maybe you could program it to be like your dream woman.
也许你可以编写程序，让她成为你的梦中情人。
Well, it's an interesting idea, but hard to imagine reality.
好吧，想法很有意思，却很难想象现实会是什么样子。
I think it would be fun for a while, but then it would get boring, don't you think?
我觉得短时间会觉得新鲜有趣，但之后就会变得乏味，你不觉得吗？
For sure, no real emotions. Everything would be mechanical and artificial.
肯定的，没有真实情感。一切都只是机械、人造出来的。
There wouldn't be a soul inside, just an empty machine.
里面没有灵魂，仅仅是一台空洞的机器。
Well, not necessarily. That would depend on how intelligent it is.
那也未必，这取决于它的智能程度。
There are some who say AIs are going to be more intelligent than we are.
有些人说人工智能未来会比人类更加聪明。
I've heard of that too. In fact, they may even be a threat to us, right?
我也听过这种说法。事实上，它们甚至有可能对人类构成威胁，对吗？
Anyway, if it were possible, would you want a woman you could control?
话说回来，如果可以做到，你会想要一个你可以掌控的女人吗？
A woman I could control. No, I can't imagine it. Most of the women I've been with have tried to control me.
一个我可以掌控的女人？不，我无法想象。我交往过的大部分女性，都试着想要掌控我。
Well, that's one of the differences between men and women. We see things differently.
好吧，这就是男女之间的差异之一。我们看待事物的角度不一样。
We never measure up to their standards.
我们永远达不到她们的标准。
However, if there is real love, the bonds between two people can be very deep.
然而，如果存在真正的爱情，两个人之间的情感羁绊会非常深厚。
It may not happen very often, but I've seen it.
这样的爱情并不多见，但我确实见过。
Yes, that's what I'm looking for! I hope it's not just a dream.
没错，这正是我所追寻的！希望这不只是一场梦。
If that's what you want, you are probably not going to find her in a bar.
如果你想要这样的感情，你大概率不会在酒吧里面遇到那个人。
Maybe I'll just let people know I'm looking for someone nice.
或许我该告诉大家，我在寻找一个很好的人。
Be sure to tell her you are rich! Maybe I can help you find someone.
一定要告诉她你很有钱！说不定我可以帮你物色对象。
You have my permission. And just for fun, I'll start checking out some of those smart robots.
我允许你这么做。不过只是玩玩，我打算去了解下那些智能机器人。
It sounds crazy, but I'm curious.
听上去很疯狂，但我很好奇。
With all these lonely people out there, it may turn out to be a huge business.
世上有这么多孤独的人，这或许会发展成一门巨大的产业。
