DELEGATE AN AI (LLM) TO TALK WITH YOUR TINDER MATCH

Wow. The Match Group did indeed introduce chat-assist to Tinder. Just look at their suggestions to start a dialogue after a match: 😱

• Hiiii Jane! Getting into anything fun this week?

• Hello Jane. How’s it going?

• Hi there! Getting into anything fun this week?

• Jane! Having a nice day?

• Nice to meet you Jane! What are you up to?

Punctuation errors aside, that style… will most probably get you unmatched ASAP… Else, you’d be watching a machine talking to a machine? Because the “let us do the talking” feature is rolled out to all genders.

What’s next? A brain implant to utter clichés to people? I mean, as of now, the dialogue prompts are far from ChatGPT’s (rather derivative) prose, but don’t you think the Tinder devs will buy API access from OpenAI soon?
