AI Meets Dating: A Viral Experiment
A resident of Bengaluru has stirred the dating world by utilizing ChatGPT's new image-generation feature to fabricate a female Bumble profile.
This intriguing experiment, initiated out of sheer boredom and labeled an 'evil idea' by the user @infinozz on X, quickly gained traction, racking up thousands of likes and over 100 right swipes before Bumble intervened and removed the profile after approximately 12 hours.
In a detailed account, the user shared how he crafted lifelike images of a woman, resulting in an overwhelming surge of notifications on his device. He humorously noted, "Guys offered me ice-creams, concert tickets, and more. Is there a loneliness epidemic among men? No, it’s a full-blown apocalypse. It took Bumble 12 hours to shut it down," highlighting the bizarre nature of the experience.
Alongside images of the AI-generated profile and his flood of notifications, the post sparked a lively discussion regarding the implications of artificial intelligence in daily life.

Commenters engaged in a debate about Bumble's response time, questioning whether the platform's algorithms automatically flagged the fake profile or if it was a manual decision.

The discussion took a more introspective turn when @infinozz concluded with a poignant remark: "Anyways, AI is powerful & men are lonely." This statement resonated with many, emphasizing both the remarkable capabilities and the unforeseen consequences of new AI technologies in the realm of digital dating.
