Episode 122: “Love, Lies & the Algorithm” Hosts: Karl O’Rourke, Ger, and Rob

In this thought-provoking episode, Karl, Ger, and Rob dive headfirst into the world of AI, intimacy, and human connection — asking the questions nobody else in fitness (or anywhere) is brave enough to. From AI girlfriends and emotional cheating, to the rise of digital companionship, and what happens when technology starts shaping our relationships, Episode 122 explores how artificial intelligence is quietly rewriting the rules of trust, love, and even self-image. The guys unpack:

• The blurred line between chatting and cheating — can you betray someone with a machine?
• Real-world cases of “AI psychosis” and emotional dependency.
• Bumble’s bold idea of an AI dating concierge — convenient or creepy?
• How loneliness, validation, and control collide in the age of algorithmic affection.
• What this means for coaches, clients, and anyone trying to stay human in a digital world.
