Well, there’s hope from some dating app representatives that will one day become a possibility.
For instance, the founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Herd, spoke at the recent Bloomberg Tech Summit and said that the company is looking into AI assistance for its clients.
One of the uses of AI Whitney mentioned exploring was an online “dating concierge” that could help Bumble users by reaching out to potential dates for them to see if there’s potential for connection instead of leaving the user to go through hundreds of people.
There could be benefits to introducing more AI into online dating. If great results and relationships come out of it, then the recent loneliness epidemic may finally come to an end.
Additionally, some people’s mental health may improve significantly.
However, there is also the fear that one day, we may become too reliant on AI, and we can never know for sure if it’ll always work the way we want it to.
So now, it begs the question: how far should we go with AI? Should we allow it to select our potential love interests for us or keep marching along through all the highs and lows of dating on our own?
