Despite the high probability of it leading to some weird dystopia, I suspect some government will try implementing a national ML-powered dating service at some point (especially if birth rates continue to drop in developed countries). Two examples of governments getting involved in the dating market are from Japan[0] and Iran[1].

- skocznymroczny 6y agoIt's not that simple. Many countries pay people to have kids, and it doesn't translate to increased birthrates as easily.
- thoughtstheseus 6y agoI would enjoy learning more about these countries. It’s likely not enough of an economic gain.
