A dose of smart love on Valentine’s Day | Brief letters

Ever notice how even your car's getting in on Valentine’s Day? Guardian Staff humorously shares how AI is now sending love notes, proving that even machines are catching the love bug. But here’s where it gets interesting — this fuss over digital romance highlights how our relationships are blending with technology, sometimes a little too much. According to Guardian Staff, one person’s car greeted them with ‘Love is in the air’ — talk about a high-tech love letter! Meanwhile, Roger Mears from London admits that refusing to say thank you for a day made him feel pretty miserable, revealing how ingrained politeness really is. It’s a reminder that, even in this crazy digital age, small gestures like gratitude still matter. So, what’s the takeaway? Maybe it’s that love — whether in words or machines — is everywhere, and we just need to be a little more mindful of the human side of it. The future of romance, it seems, might just be a little smarter than we thought.
