Tinder’s Latest Shiny AI Crap to Fix Swipe Zombies

Oh great, Tinder’s at it again — pretending the way to stop people from hating dating is with more bloody AI magic dust. Apparently, everyone’s tired of endlessly thumbing through profiles that look like the same influencer clone, so Tinder’s new brainwave is to shove a bunch of algorithms up your love life and call it “innovation.” Because what says “romance” more than a robot deciding who you fancy, right?

So here’s the deal: the geniuses at Tinder HQ want their shiny new artificial intelligence to save users from “swipe fatigue” — that soulless, thumb-numbing slog we all endure before deleting the damn app again. AI will now help “personalize recommendations,” “craft your profile,” and “assist in conversations.” In other words, the app’s going to ghost the human bit entirely and chat you up using machine learning. Perfect. Soon you won’t even need to show up to your date — just send the algorithm and let it mumble about astrology on your behalf.

They’re also testing ways to make you feel “less overwhelmed,” because God forbid we realize the problem isn’t the app—it’s the entire dating industrial complex they built that profits from keeping us lonely as hell. So yeah, they’re pushing faster, “smarter” matches that basically just means, “We’ll make it easier for you to swipe on the same recycled humans with new camera filters.” Lovely.

In summary: Tinder says AI will “revolutionize dating,” but what it really means is “we’ve run out of ways to keep you swiping, so here’s some half-baked bot fluff dressed as empathy.” Another day, another tech company solving a problem it bloody created.

Reminds me of the time someone asked me to “optimize” their online dating strategy. I told them to uninstall the app, buy a cat, and call it a night. Worked brilliantly — zero swipes, 100% fewer idiots.
