Man Uses AI Chatbot to Find Love on Tinder, Ends Up Proposing to Unsuspecting Match
-
Aleksandr Zhadan built AI bots to swipe and chat for him on Tinder to weed out women with certain interests or traits he didn't want.
-
His bot eventually connected with Karina Vyalshakaeva and they started dating, though she didn't know she'd been messaging an AI until 6 months in when they were already living together.
-
AI is increasingly being used in dating apps for matchmaking, profile assistance, messaging, and more - some see it as helpful while others worry it promotes catfishing and bad behavior.
-
Companies like Match Group are investing millions into AI innovation for their dating apps and startups offering AI dating assistants are proliferating.
-
Sasha has now proposed to Karina after his bot encouraged him to do so, though they plan to write their own wedding vows.
