How artificial intelligence is replacing humans on dating sites

Artificial intelligence will turn us all into Casanovas. Like this Belgian computer programmer who developed a bot, a chat algorithm, capable of working for him on Tinder and automatically chatting with 200 women at the same time.

It was designed to analyze the physical characteristics, but also the profile that it likes the most. And then, he is able to dialogue with his “matches”, the profiles he has selected. His account ended up being suspended. One example among many. A start-up even launched on this model, before being banned from Tinder.

Bernie A.I has developed a program capable of impersonating a human being and chatting for you on dating sites. In exchange for a subscription, she will take care of finding you an appointment. You select the profiles that interest you, the AI ​​will get in touch with them by chat, start chatting, introduce yourself, play the game of seduction. In short, take care of the conversation part for you thanks to pre-recorded scripts. It's not very romantic, to say the least.

But at the same time, it must be said that online flirting has become a full-time job for many, and even a chore. Sometimes, because we suck and then because it takes time: with sites like Meetic or Tinder, we are far from the fiery missives sent to the chosen one of his heart, the flirt is done in industrial slaughter mode. Select profiles that you like, type the same teaser message for the thousandth time knowing that in 9 cases out of 10, we will not get an answer, chat with 4 or 5 people at the same time hoping to pick up an appointment. In the end, you might as well let an AI take care of the job.

A fake girlfriend?

On dating sites, some users even use robots to “increase their performance” so to speak.

There are those who focus on quantity rather than quality. It should be remembered that on Tinder, the principle is the swipe, when you like a profile, you slide the screen to the right. And if the chosen one of your heart does the same thing, there is a “match”. Some apps and accessories offer mass swiping for you to maximize your chances. This is particularly the principle of Tinda finger. A robotic finger coupled to a small motor, which is connected to the telephone. And that will swipe the screen again and again and again, up to 6000 times per hour.

And then for those who are alone, but who want to look good with their friends and loved ones, a site offers to invent a girlfriend or a girlfriend from scratch.

“Invisible girlfriend” allows you to give the illusion to your loved ones that you are in a relationship. You register on the site, and for around twenty euros per month, you will be able to create a lover from scratch, who will send you real messages. You choose his photo, his age, his personality. You fill out a form that explains how you are supposed to have met and from there, you are going to receive real messages every day that are supposed to prove to those around you that you are in a relationship.

For 20 euros per month, you are entitled to 100 text messages, 10 voice messages on your answering machine and a handwritten message. Your fake girlfriend sends you messages, replies to yours, you can even create fake arguments and proudly show off to coworkers and family.
