AI is incredible, isn’t it? It’s so useful for everything from website design to emailing colleagues and friends. But one thing you should NOT use it for? DATING. Over on Insider, a singleton decided to try theChatGTP bot to write some dating site messages, and to put it lightly, was NOT successful. Via Insider:

The program can be used to cheat and deceive. But can it be used to find love? I decided to put it to the test. 

I [asked] ChatGPT to come up with responses to other people’s prompts. Some of the responses were so unbearably cringe-worthy that I gave myself the ick. Others read like a Buzzfeed-era millennial wrote them circa 2010. 

To put it kindly: ChatGPT is not a smooth talker.  Not a single person responded after I sent them a ChatGPT-generated response

One person said their most irrational fear was flying. I asked the chatbot to come up with a funny reply, to which it said: “No problem, I’m more than happy to hold your hand and provide moral support during turbulence. And if the plane goes down, at least we’ll go out together in a romantic blaze of glory!”

I sighed. I hit send. I never heard back.

Well, it turns out that there’s no replacement for the complexities of the human brain when it comes to finding the SPARK between two people. So, hey you – yeah you, close ChatGPT and use that beautiful mind when you message on OBC!
