Thoughts on AI dating apps?

Just launched one.
I know they're VERY popular, but also controversial.
Most are focused on instant gratification, while some (like Replika and my own) are focused on building a more long-term, healthy connection.
You need a bit of both (just like real relationships, and we saw that in the movie "Her").
So I'd love to hear your thoughts on where that sweet spot is!

I want AI to help people practice how to handle intimate relationships in various situations, including what they should do and what they shouldn’t do.
Facing their feelings honestly is something that most people need to learn.
I see where you're coming from with the balance between instant connection and long-term bonding in AI relationships. While platforms like Replika are great for emotional support, I'm not entirely convinced that the same approach translates well to dating. The quick, decisive nature of dating might not mesh with AI interactions.
As for monetization, I suspect the gaming model might not be the most effective for this particular app.
I’m not sure if AI dating apps can replace the genuine connection you get from meeting someone in person. What do you think?
AI dating apps could be a gem for people who struggle with traditional dating.
The concept of AI dating apps is intriguing. I wonder how effective they are at avoiding common dating pitfalls.
Bad for society
AI could be great for improving communication between people. helping users understand each other's communication styles early on could really lead to better, more meaningful relationships.
