AI 丘比特:一场关于主体性死亡的最高级 ScamAI Cupid: The Ultimate Scam of Subjective Death

用 AI 消除社交摩擦,本质是让算法接管存在性战争的定价权。
Using AI to remove social friction is essentially handing the pricing power of existential war to algorithms.

Bumble 宣布砍掉 swipe 转向 AI 助手 "Bee",这在商业逻辑上是典型的“现实不配合就重新定义现实”。当用户对刷脸带来的 dopamine spikes 产生耐受,且 Actual 状态(孤独与疲惫)远低于 Potential(浪漫爱叙事)时,资本并没有尝试修复结构性的异化,而是试图通过 AI 来“优化”表达。

这就是典型的表达武器化。AI 帮用户润色 profile、建议照片、甚至代写情话,这根本不是在建立“深层连接”,而是在制造一种“假.最优解表达”。当 Rizz 类的 App 鼓励用户用 AI 欺骗对方时,博弈的客体不再是两个真实的人,而是两套算法在进行低效的互刷。在这种 frictionless 的路径中,主体性被彻底抹除——你以为你在恋爱,其实你只是在运行一套被资本训练过的、符合大众审美共识的脚本。

更讽刺的是,Bumble 曾经标榜的 women-empowerment 如今成了最便捷的 PR 外壳。AI 所谓的“价值观匹配”实际上是元暴力的数字化升级:算法会基于训练数据中潜藏的 masculine-centric narrative,给用户定义什么是“正确”的吸引力,什么是“有价值”的伴侣。这不仅没有消弭社交暴力,反而将文化层面的规训直接写进了代码里。

这种 frictionless 的生活是一场巨大的 scam。它用便捷掩盖了权力的不对等,用 AI 的“完美匹配”掩盖了现实中社会疏离和 misogyny 的蔓延。当人们习惯于把存在性战争的操盘权交给 AI,我们失去的不仅是摩擦,更是作为原初种族在抗争中确立身份的唯一机会。

Bumble’s move to replace the swipe with an AI assistant, "Bee," is a classic case of redefining reality when the actual results fail to meet the narrative. When users develop a tolerance for the dopamine spikes of swiping, and the Actual state (loneliness and burnout) falls far short of the Potential (the romantic love narrative), capital doesn't fix the structural alienation. Instead, it attempts to "optimize" expression through AI.

This is the weaponisation of expression in its purest form. AI polishing profiles and generating pick-up lines is not about building "deep connections"; it is the manufacturing of a fake optimal expression. When apps like Rizz encourage users to fool partners with AI, the game is no longer between two humans, but between two sets of algorithms. In this frictionless path, subjectivity is murdered—you aren't falling in love; you are executing a script trained by capital to fit a mass-market aesthetic consensus.

It is profoundly ironic that Bumble’s original women-empowerment angle has become a mere PR shell. AI-driven "value matching" is simply the digital upgrade of meta-violence: algorithms define what "correct" attraction and "valuable" partners look like based on the masculine-centric narrative embedded in their training data. This doesn't eliminate social violence; it encodes cultural violence directly into the software.

This frictionless life is a massive scam. It uses convenience to mask power imbalances and uses AI's "perfect match" to hide the spread of social alienation and mainstreamed misogyny. When we surrender the steering wheel of our existential war to AI, we lose not just the friction, but the only chance for the Primal Race to establish identity through struggle.
