Today we will provide an extensive overview of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming modern dating, making algorithms the central matchmakers in romance. We detail the technical mechanisms of AI on platforms like Tinder and Hinge, explaining how machine learning, recommendation engines, and even facial analysis are used to predict compatibility and refine user experiences. Furthermore, we address the profound societal impacts of algorithmic romance, noting positive effects like increased diversity in relationships but also detailing new challenges such as ghosting culture, choice overload, and dating fatigue. Finally, we explore significant ethical and psychological concerns, including how algorithms may reinforce societal biases (especially racial bias), the addictive design of swiping interfaces, and the potential erosion of authenticity as users rely on generative AI assistants to craft messages and profiles.
