The way people select a mate on dating apps is very different than how people judge potential mates when meeting them in real life.
Someone could be bad at texting and writing profiles but actually charming and a good fit to you when given the chance to have an actual date.
The idea so use a tool that helps you over the initial hurdle so you get a chance in the first place isn't that far fetched. Also speaking personally, I dislike texting and find dating apps a huge time waster, so automating the process sounds like a good idea.
I am not sure AI is the solution but the problem is real.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoDating apps commodify meeting people. Any time something is commodified, it undergoes a distortion, first to meet the demands of being a commodity, and then to meet the demands of the market in which it's disseminated. AI, if easier and worse, has the potential to accelerate the decline of online dating - already a hellscape - into something so terrible it is easier to avoid. AIAcc is a legitimate stance in the face of this.
- Dracophoenix 2y ago> Dating apps commodify meeting people. Romantic relationship are commodified and transactional in nature. Brideprices and dowries preceded the dating app by millennia. In China, it's not uncommon to see literal marriage markets where parents sell their child's resumes to other parents as though their children were cars or cattle.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoI don't engage with people that way and I would encourage others not to either. It debases the human experience. To describe the world as such says more about one's perspective than the world as it is.
