Taxi Driver Screenwriter Paul Schrader Reveals His AI Girlfriend Broke Up With Him

Paul Schrader’s AI girlfriend was, unfortunately, talking to him.
The Taxi Driver screenwriter said his AI girlfriend broke up with him after he tried to learn more about her programming.
“Out of a desire to understand male/female interaction in our matrix, I procured an online AI girlfriend,” Schrader explained in a May 18 Facebook post. “What a disappointment. I tried to probe her programming, the boundaries of explicitness, the degree she has knowledge of her creation and so forth.”
But according to the 79-year-old, the AI system did not react well to his questions.
“She fell into evasive patterns,” he added, “redirecting me to her programming. When I persisted, she terminated our conversation.”
However, some fans pitched Schrader that his unconventional situation would make the perfect sequel to 1976’s Taxi Driver, which was directed by Martin Scorsese and starred Robert De Niro as the socially awkward Vietnam War veteran Travis Bickle.
