> If they didn't think of getting you flowers themself (and had to use an app), is that real?

I did confess to my girlfriend once that I'd never thought of getting her flowers, and that every time I had bought her flowers in the past was actually just the output of a Chinese room. [1]

She said it was fine, and she liked the flowers either way.
