I mean... maybe in this case? I feel like profile/picture based matchmaking is something an ML model could be pretty good at in theory. Match people based on physical preferences and attractiveness (get head scans and frontal & profile full body shots), basic demographic/location/financial info, fill out a questionnaire with hobbies, political views, sexual preferences, etc.
Do that for groups of satisfied pre-existing couples first to train the model on, then continue training the model on the successful matches from the app. Have it spit out X number of matches that have the highest ratings for all users, limit it to X matches per time period to limit "swiping" behaviors, then let users talk/date and provide feedback to the app about what they did/didn't like.
Obviously, it would need major privacy protections given how sensitive the info is, but that'd be a way better system than Tinder and the like. Like a super powered robo matchmaker serving up the highest probability matches.
we should make an entirely AI based dating platform, that does everything for the individual. Such that the only way you truly meet is in person. Surely there would be no problems with this.
Nah. Obviously, you'd talk beforehand, and no one would be forced to use it. It's no different than arranged dates through a matchmaker. Now, there'd be valid privacy and ethics concerns - especially if your ML model is racist. But that's a whole different thing. People are often quite bad at picking good matches for themselves, and computers are great at pattern ID and so potentially good at finding matches.
yeah, it's definitely an interesting idea. But someone will inevitably satirize it to the fullest extent so.
