"For too long, she argues, people have been swiping in the dark: evaluating other multifaceted beings on the basis of a few pictures and superficial bits of description, being evaluated in turn, feeling judged and empty. Now, she says, she's seeking a new way to inject some warmth and humanity into the process-using, as she recently told The Wall Street Journal, "the world's smartest and most emotionally intelligent matchmaker." She's talking about AI."
"They're incorporating AI not only as a tool for choosing photos and writing bios or messages, but as a Machine-Learning Cupid. Wolfe Herd's new app, she says, will ask people about themselves and then use a large language model to present them with matches-based not on quippy one-liners or height preferences, she told the Boston radio station WBUR, but on "the things that matter most: shared values, shared goals, shared life beliefs.""
Whitney Wolfe Herd returned to the dating company she founded with a goal of improving online romance by reducing superficial swiping and injecting warmth and humanity. She plans to use AI as an emotionally intelligent matchmaker and to train matching systems with psychologists and relationship counselors to emphasize shared values, goals, and life beliefs. A growing number of apps are incorporating AI to choose photos, write bios and messages, serve personalized suitor options, and describe users for other singles. Platforms are launching AI assistants and curated-match features to address user burnout and dissatisfaction.
