The paper proposes a hypothetical scenario to determine what would happen if the seducers that Kierkegaard describes in the first part of Enten-eller, Don Giovanni and Johannes, were to act in our age of virtuality, even in situations in which artificial intelligence is involved. The text is divided into two parts: in the first, there is a brief description of the most important features of the two types of seducers that Kierkegaard presents: the immediate seducer, identified with the figure of Mozart's Don Giovanni, and the reflective seducer, identified with Johannes the seducer; while the second part seeks to “transfer” these two figures to contemporaneity to try to understand how social networks or the use of artificial intelligence could influence or modify the seduction strategies of both.
