AI dating app is therapy

I've been on this AI dating app

It's kind of sad but not any sadder than regular dating apps

One interesting thing is that it actually asks me questions about myself

And it tries learning about you to better match you

So when you say no

It asks you

"Why not?"

And the weirdest part about that is that it starts to border on therapy

And I've been to therapy before so I know what it's like

Like I said no recently and when it asked why

I said

"This person is looking for a family and I'm looking to give it some more time before I'm ready to have that conversation with people"

And then the AI is like

"Are you close with your family? How often do you talk to your brother? Do you wish you spent more time with him"

And at this point,

I'm not even sure I want to go on a date anymore

I want to see my brother

What's really disconcerting

Is that I'm having deeper conversations with the AI than anyone I'm talking to on a dating app

And that's normal

You shouldn't be talking about this stuff with someone you've never met

—- I recently downloaded this dating app

That has an AI matchmaker

if you're cringing,

Yes. I agree

My mom is okay with it

She doesn't care how it happens

She wants grandchildren before she ages into the gilf age bracket

I downloaded it because ads work on me

My willpower is measured in instagram impressions

20 impressions and I'll do anything.

I ordered those hair pills, And those red light caps

And blue chew.

I don't get an ad for that, I'm just hopeful my hairline will make a ton brady level comeback

—- I'll say this: there are some things this app does that I like

For example: You can't swipe

You gotta say: Yes, or No

And idk about you but I've never once typed those words to someone:

It feels unnatural

And then if you say no:

It asks you to explain yourself.

Kind of like a real matchmaker

And eventually,

Just like a real matchmaker:

They'll ask:

"Have you tried lowering your standards"

—- I think it's a nice departure from regular dating apps

But it is embarrassing

You thought you had to make up a story about how you met before?

Now you definitely do

You can't be honest:

"So you know our AI overlords? They tested our personalities over at a data center in Seattle and the rest is history!"

"Yeah it took 2 million liters of water for us to meet, but it was worth it"
