AI bots are being introduced on dating apps to help users with profiles, messages, and photos. However, experts warn that relying on artificial intelligence for relationships can damage authenticity and social skills. Match Group, the company behind popular platforms like Tinder and Hinge, plans to increase AI use, despite concerns about user trust. Academics urge for regulations, as AI may worsen loneliness, biases, and mental health issues. While supporters believe AI could reduce dating fatigue and improve connections, critics fear manipulation and homogeneity. Users are divided on the impact of AI, with some finding success like Aleksandr Zhadan, who met his fiancée through a bot. The industry faces scrutiny for its social impact and ethical use of AI.
