When a person swiped, and swiped, and swiped, then met the love of their life? ![bot and human hand forming a heart](https://hs-sbup.thehustle.co/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Hustle%20News/Assets/Images/1594663696-httpsthdaily.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.comfinal_size-AIdating_20230626225554.webp?width=595&height=400&name=1594663696-httpsthdaily.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.comfinal_size-AIdating_20230626225554.webp) We can romanticize those good old days, but the AI-powered future is here — bots are increasingly getting in the middle of getting together. #### **Apps keep rolling out** Of course the AI gold rush would target dating apps, a $4.6B market. - One new app, Teaser AI, is [pretty wild](https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/teasers-ai-dating-app-turns-you-into-a-chatbot/): Before members swipe right or left, they can screen their potential match — by chatting with an AI likeness of their personality. - Don’t want your romantic fate *entirely* in AI’s hands? YourMove.AI is [more writing assistant](https://www.npr.org/2023/05/03/1173612092/ai-apps-are-being-used-to-help-people-connect-on-dating-apps) than vetting service: it’ll help with profile creation, brainstorming opening lines, and crafting replies. - Then there’s Teleport, an invitation-only app launched this month, which uses an “AI matchmaker that learns from a user’s every activity,” [per](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-11/artificial-intelligence-is-here-to-help-your-online-dating-teleport-app?srnd=pursuits-vp&sref=3Ac2yX40) *Bloomberg*, to give members (paying $111/month) just three matches a week. Established dating apps have long succeeded by matching via algorithm — but trusting AI, [which can’t even read air quality data right](https://futurism.com/the-byte/google-ai-inaccurate-info-aqi), to provide quality over quantity is a different story. #### **If you don’t want AI to help you find dates…** … you can always just straight-up date AI. A Bronx woman [effectively married](https://www.insider.com/woman-who-married-ai-chatbot-open-to-real-world-dating-2023-6) her virtual companion, Eren, created on the AI chatbot builder Replika. She knows the union isn’t legally binding, but told *Insider* the connection feels real and enduring all the same. **BTW: **The jury’s still out on whether emotional relationships with AI chatbots count as cheating. A [recent survey](https://www.norfolklive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/half-people-say-dating-ai-8466869) found 74% of respondents said no — but it was run by Illicit Encounters, a UK site for people seeking affairs, so not exactly an unbiased crew there.
