One person is using AI to help find a romantic partner
A Reddit user shared their experiment using AI tools to find a real-life girlfriend. The approach involves AI-written dating profile text, conversation starters, and message drafts. It's more of a curious personal experiment than a practical how-to.
Posted in r/CursedAI — a community dedicated to weird or unexpected AI use cases — this post describes using AI at multiple steps of the dating process. That includes polishing a dating app bio, generating opening messages, and possibly deciding which profiles are worth pursuing.
While this has little direct relevance for solo developers or makers in their work, it illustrates how far AI tools are spreading into everyday personal life. It's a lighthearted data point in the broader trend of people reaching for AI assistance well beyond productivity tasks.
