Note: this is based heavily on The Human Test by Ze Frank.

If we haven’t met yet - I’m the ai startup guy. Now, AI has a time and a place. But erotica in particular prides itself on authenticity.

This is why Becca has asked me to conduct this test to make sure everyone here is, in fact, human, and not an AI.

Please raise your hand when you hear something that applies to you.

Have you ever pressed a button repeatedly, hoping the urgency if your fingers would speed things up.

Have you ever walked into an empty subway cart thinking you had gotten lucky, only to immediately discover why it was empty.

Have you ever cringed after randomly remembering an embarrassing moment that happened years ago.

Have you ever smiled and nodded along to a conversation - tuning it out entirely - and wondered if anyone noticed that you’re not paying attention.

Have you ever walked across your apartment to get something only to completely forget what you were there to get.

Have you ever brought someone back to your apartment instead of going to theirs - and found yourself immediately regretting that decision.

Have you ever bumped into an acquaintance - and insisted that you should catch up soon, knowing you know they know you know that you would never actually catch up.

Have you ever heard your own voice in a recording and felt annoyed at how different it is from the way you hear yourself.

Have you ever rehearsed an entire conversation in your head over and over again - only for reality to refuse to follow your carefully crafted script.

Have you ever come back from your 3rd Hinge date that week feeling deeply disappointed and found yourself wondering. Should I give it more time? Should I lower my expectations - or is the thought of all-consuming kind of crush still something real and worth chasing after.

Have you ever sworn off dating - vowing to be independent and focus on yourself - only to change your mind a few weeks later as soon as spring unfolds and everyone suddenly seems 3x more attractive.

Have you ever said “I’ll share something at next one” after erotica and then finally shared something.

Have you ever hoped that just by staring at someone for long enough - they would notice you and do the work of introducing themselves to you.

Have you ever intentionally forgotten something at someone’s apartment after a the first night over.

Have you ever found yourself noticing small things about someone, the gentle curve of their lips, the rhythm in their laughter, and realized holy shit I’m in too deep.

Have you ever wondered how someone who was a complete stranger could so quickly become such a large part of your world.
