Why AI Will Not Replace Human Love

“It is not good for man to be alone.” This is the only time in pre-Fall Eden when God calls some part of his creation anything other than “good” or “very good.” So God brings Adam all the creatures in Eden to name, but none of them are suitable for him because they are not like him, bearing the image of God. When Adam awakens in Genesis 2 and finds himself no longer alone, he recognizes that he and the woman are the same kind of creature and says, “This is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh.” Today, however, people are responding to the not goodness of being alone by seeking companions who have neither bones nor flesh.
