I can just see it, “Did you buy me these flowers I was it that stupid app?”

If your SO would be annoyed at your romantic gesture because you got the idea from an app you might have other problems in that relationship. Generally, I find women appreciate the gesture, even if the idea isn't entirely original. People just like that you think about them.

They would probably react that way since the partner was just following instructions of an app rather than something more romantic and genuine

One of the most important characteristics in a partner is authenticity. 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.

They didn't think of it "themselves," but they did choose to do it.

Well, they cared enough to use the app. Doesn't that count for something?

What if they thought of using an app to think up ways to make you happy
