It definitely is creepy, though.
- andrey-p 12y agoI guess creepiness is a bit of a sliding scale. Maybe somehow the bot also managed to get through to a subset of women on Tinder who don't find this creepy?
- sjtrny 12y agoHow? It isn't invading anyone's privacy or personal space. The actions the bot performs are exactly the same as what humans do.
- jarman 12y ago>exactly the same That's why. People take pleasure in expressing base instinctive behavior (and Tinder is mate choosing, refined to laboratory grade purity), but like to pretend it's something more dignified, not something that can be done by basic machine, be it organic or semiconductor.
- matthewmacleod 12y agoIt doesn't have to be an invasive action to be creepy. I'm confident that setting up a bot to pretend to be human and to engage in conversation is pretty creepy, and I don't think that's a particularly outlandish position to take.
