Will AI Transform Online Dating? (cnn.com) 158

Posted by EditorDavid from the swiping-left dept.
"Dating apps are on the cusp of a major transformation," argues CNN, suggesting AI-powered possibilities like "personalized chatbots dating other chatbots on your behalf," as well as "AI concierges fielding questions about potential matches," and "advanced algorithms predicting compatibility better than ever before." At its investor day last week, executives from Match Group — the parent company of Match.com, Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, Our Time and more — teased plans to use AI to improve user experiences and help make better connections. Justin McLeod, CEO of Hinge, outlined how the company intends to fully embrace AI next year: more personalized matching, smarter algorithms that adapt to users and better understand them over time and AI coaching for struggling daters. "While AI is not going to be a panacea when it comes to the very deeply and personal problem of love, I can tell you that it is going to transform the dating app experience, taking it from a do-it-yourself platform to an expertly guided journey that leads to far better outcomes and much better value to our daters," he told investors....

It's already starting to play a bigger role. Tinder, for example, uses AI to help users select their best profile photos. Meanwhile, Bumble's recently enhanced "For You" roundup uses advanced AI when delivering its daily set of four curated profiles based on a user's preferences and past matches. Bumble also uses AI in safety features like its Private Detector — an AI-powered tool that blurs explicit images — and Deception Detector, which identifies spam, scams and fake profiles. Similarly, Match Group offers tools like buttons that say "Are You Sure?" to detect harmful language and "Does This Bother You?" to prompt users to report inappropriate behavior....

According to Liesel Sharabi, an associate professor at Arizona State University's Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, the dating industry is still "very much in the early stages" of embracing AI. "The platforms are still figuring out its role in the online dating experience, but it really does have the potential to transform this space...." Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd previously said she envisions AI functioning as a dating concierge, helping users navigate matches, set up dates and respond to messages. Startups such as Volar and Rizz have already experimented with chatbots that help respond to messages. On Rizz, users upload screenshots of conversations they're having on other dating apps, and the platform helps create flirty replies. (Volar, a standalone dating app that trains on users' preferences and automatically responds to other chatbots, shut down in September due to lack of funding.) While the concept of chatbots dating on your behalf may seem strange, it could reduce the tedious early-stage communication by focusing more on highly compatible matches, Sharabi said...

During Match Group's investor day, Hinge's McLeod announced plans to build the "world's most knowledgeable dating coach" using years of insights from the dating process... McLeod said Hinge has already seen a higher number of matches and subscription renewals with its improved AI algorithm among early test groups. It plans to roll this out globally in March.
And of course, some users are already using ChatGPT to write online dating profiles or respond to messages, the article points out...

        I'd say it's more important to find someone with a good personality match, which is what dating sites can't really help you with. Shared interests are something you can find.

        AI sounds like it should help in theory, but in reality it won't. It's just a fancy multiple choice personality test.

    • A better way is to get involved in activities you care about. It could be charity work, church, hobby groups, whatever is important to you. When you get involved in these activities, you find yourself getting to know other people who share your views about what is important. It's a whole lot more reliable than an online profile.

      If you get married from Tinder, Tinder's algorithm failed in in the worst possible way. It cost them a "paying" man and "an attraction of paying men" woman. A colossal failure.

      Best case scenario is what Tinder is today. Small amount of women who are inundated with messages from plentiful men daily. That makes them believe they're highly sought after as marriage partners, so they have fun sleeping around knowing that they'll find a marriage partner later. Almost all men on the other hand are forced to work like a little bitch that they are, paying to see more matches because no one replies. Former are kept on the hook through illusion of plentifulness of "I just need to score one of these handsome rich men and I'm set for life" while being so far below these men that they have a harem of copies of that women on a speed dial because they're all dating the tiny portion of him that is on the site.

        There are stats that show an interesting gap between male and female users. While men fond female attraction on a normal bell curve, with most women being found in the average like, and the more/less attractive diminishing until you get to the extremes, women found 80 percent of men unattractive. That's not a bell curve, that's a cliff.

        So we have something like 80 percent of women excluding 80 percent of men.

        And that 20 percent of men now have no reason to engage in normal partnership formation, because they have an incredible number of choices. The rest of the men have to put up with bots if anything.

        Women are faced with a triple whammy. Modern women have been taught almost since birth that they are always correct. They have been given feedback that they are all deserving of a 23 year old millionaire, buffed GQ model who has time to take her on 365 vacation days a year, and that they are somehow going to form a permanent relationship with a guy that is getting banged every night by many women.

        And there are even Facebook groups for women to find out if the guy in their situationship is in multiple relationships with multiple women.

        Well honey, millions of you have been chasing after maybe a thousand guys and have decided that sex with them is okay. He has no need to settle down. Welcome to the world of the bad boys, full of tingles and trauma.

        Dating apps, which arose as a way for men to approach women in a safe manner, has evolved into a real mess for women. A relatively few men getting a lot of sex, a lot of women getting traumatized by repeated situationships, ghosting, and unrealistic expectations.

              Women rate known men on a pareto distribution curve. But they rate men they don't know with extreme weight on low end, and very few men on average and almost none on high end.

                Other is when they're taken as war brides after they tribe has been defeated and men killed off. This is why men don't have the second mode of operation. In tribal warfare, you kill off the men and take women as prizes. So we only have one mode of operation.

                Although there is the angry desert god and his orders to the Israelites:

                "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." Numbers 31:17-18 KJV

      The difficulty is figuring out who they're likely to match. They need data to do that, and people are putting less and less data into the apps. In the old days, people wrote long profiles. Or OKCupid had thousands of user generated questions and could match you on what the two of you answered (not looking just for the same answers, but for their answer being what you wanted them to answer) based on the priority you gave that question.

      To a degree that's true. To a degree that's not. It's the same argument as "drug companies don't want to make drugs that are actual cures". And yet - they do.

      IMHO you've made a pithy assertion. Sounds great! Yes, of course there is motivation to keep users, encourage engagement, all that stuff. But companies also recognize that people to talk to each other and when their products do "solve the problem" that also improves standing in the market among competitors.

      Exactly, that's why whenever there is a competitor that actually matches, they buy them off and neuter the algorithm.

      That is the so called "singles events"

      At this point, they are almost all women attendees. So it is a dying concept.

      I watched a video by a woman who organizes such things. She had tried a singles event at her place that should have attracted men, there would be fishing, a picnic and everything very casual. Sounded good.

      Failed miserably. men didn't show up because for most men, it was paying to be rejected, and women apparently wanted a club-like setting.

      The male/female dynamic is seriously broken. An

          In those countries, perhaps men do not see it as yet another opportunity to get rejected because they aren't pretty enough a man, or don't make enough money, or are not assertive to the point of aggression that American women seek for their tingles. (speaking in generalities)

          Really, the problem is that the men American women seek have no need to go to a singles event. The guys many American women seek are getting all the women they need, for free, and since there is another one waiting for him, have no n

    "Will AI Transform Online Dating?"

    It sure will, but not in a good way.

  • That is all the "transformation" we are going to see there. LLMs remain without any application that would even remotely make them worthwhile to operated.

  • In practice, the early attempts will suck mightily
    It's an open question how long it will take to develop a system that works well
