My guess is that this will be disastrous for the platform if it makes it into the actual chat. Profile writing may be useful. I feel like women would feel deeply uncomfortable with enshittified messaging, since they would no longer be able to tell who is genuine and who is a serial killer. The only way it could work is if there was disclosure "Bob is using AI for this conversation", which defeats the reason Bob likely wants to use AI to talk to Alice.
EDIT: I am aware people are already using ChatGPT to message their matches, but I feel like this would pour gasoline on the fire.
- abeppu 3y agoIDK, I think it could be disastrous for users attempting to actually meet real humans to establish compatibility and have a relationship with. But there's apparently a bunch of demand for imaginary relationships with bots, and there's seemingly people who enjoy chatting on the dating apps but drag their feet about meeting up IRL. What if the platform "succeeds" by getting subscription fees from people who aren't comfortable saying they don't want a relationship with a real human to endlessly chat with someone who _might_ be real, or could be a bot, or could be a real person sometimes but employing a bot, ...?

- HPsquared 3y agoThey already have a major problem with catfishing/scammers/bots.
- some_random 3y agoThe real use case here is for women to use it to triage tens to hundreds of matches, which will lead to normal men becoming frustrated and leaving resulting in the only people left being fuckboys and serial killers. Which is kinda what it looks like now already.
