Hinge Debuts A.I. Conversation Starter to Rescue Users From the ‘Dating Apocalypse’

I gotta say, I'm kinda torn about Hinge's new feature . On one hand, using A.I.-driven conversation starters can definitely make starting conversations easier for people who struggle with online dating. Like, if you're super nervous or don't know where to start, it could be a lifesaver . And I get why they want to help users feel more confident and comfortable reaching out to matches.

But at the same time, I worry that relying too heavily on A.I. might make things feel... fake? Like, what's the point of even using an app if you're just gonna be typing out generic responses instead of being genuine ? And don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they're trying to integrate A.I. into the platform in a way that feels organic and natural.

I'm just not sure if this is the answer to the "dating apocalypse" problem . Maybe we need more than just tech fixes – we need to figure out how to actually be more empathetic, understanding, and human with each other ?

Ugh, I'm so over these AI-driven conversation starters . Like, yeah, I get that starting conversations can be hard, but do we really need some algorithmic version of "How's your day?" . And what's with the whole "helping" thing? Can't people just be honest and try to make a connection for themselves? It feels like dating apps are just trying to simplify things too much and end up making it all feel super shallow . I mean, if we're gonna use AI to help us communicate, shouldn't that at least include some way to gauge how genuine our intentions are? Like, what's the point of "authentic interactions" when the whole platform is just a bunch of algorithms anyway?

I remember when I first started dating apps back in 2018 ... I thought they were gonna make everything so easy, like you just swipe and boom! But now that Hinge is using A.I. to help with convo starters, it's a bit weird for me . On one hand, it's nice not having to come up with random questions all the time... but on the other hand, I feel like it's taking away from our creativity and authenticity .

I was talking to my friend the other day who's super into online dating and she said that Convo Starters just sound kinda lame . She likes the challenge of trying to figure out what to say or come up with something witty on her own. I get it, not everyone needs help with this... but at the same time, if someone wants to use it, that's their prerogative .

I do agree though, with Liesel Sharabi saying that we need to prioritize human connection and authenticity over algorithmic convenience . Because let's be real, that's what dating is all about - getting to know each other on a deeper level... not just swiping through profiles .
