A 23-year-old Russian boy who was tired of swiping on dating apps would have developed an artificial intelligence capable of selecting the perfect match for him on Tinder, which would have led him to his fiancée.
“I had had a good relationship for two years and I realized that I understood what I wanted, what I didn’t want and what we could work on. [être] connected. I wanted to find the person for me,” Aleksandr “Sasha” Zhadan, 23, told Forbes on Wednesday.
It would have all started in 2022, when the product manager who works with artificial intelligence (AI) would have developed a program capable of selecting potential flames on Tinder for him, based on his general preferences. and physical.
Then, with the arrival of Chat GPT, the young programmer added a new function to his AI: the ability to maintain the conversation on his behalf, after having trained it on previous conversations.
Obviously, the program wasn’t on point from the start, and it would have taken a while for it to respond more naturally during conversations. He also allegedly, at a certain point, organized a meeting with a young woman, without informing Sasha Zhadan.
«[J’arrive] in a few minutes. Don’t stay out too long […] Yes, I’m definitely coming. Sorry for the delay. I will be there soon,” the robot even texted to apologize when the young man did not show up for the meeting, shared the American media.
In January 2023, after a month of exchanging text messages on his behalf, the AI would have organized another meeting for him, this time with Karina Vyalshakaeva, 22, but the young man would then have chosen not to continue the relationship, a- he told Forbes.
But in the following months, a new version of the robot, based on GPT-4, would have restarted the conversation with the young woman, pushing the two to meet again. This time, the spark was there, to the point where the two lovers would have moved in together in the following months.
It was only last November that Sasha Zhadan admitted to her sweetheart that she had spoken with a robot during the first months.
“I was really shocked. Because at that moment I analyzed all the messages in my head! Like, when did he respond to me? And when did the bot respond to me? And what’s the difference?” she in turn confided to Forbes.
Artificial intelligence would have finally played a final role within the couple in recent months, when the young man would have received a message from his robot advising him to propose to the young woman to “emphasize that your relationship is balanced and solid,” according to the American media.
He reportedly proposed last January during a trip to Hong Kong, and the couple now plan to marry in August.
If the unusual story seems taken from a science fiction film, some experts in the field of online dating have welcomed this type of algorithm, which could help reduce the fatigue that accompanies online dating or make meetings easier. for those who are too busy to swipe for hours.
“I think it’s really helpful. If this AI robot gives the same advice, or is programmed to have the same answers […] so that’s a win,” Lindsey Metselaar, host of the popular dating podcast “We Met At Acme,” told Forbes.
