Everyone wants to get on the artificial intelligence train, including online dating apps. Tinder’s latest offering? A game in which you can practice your flirting skills on a bot.
The Game Game (yes, that’s really its name) uses technology from OpenAI, creator of the popular ChatGPT AI chatbot. The game presents the user with a series of cards, each featuring a different AI persona and scenario. The user speaks to the AI based on the chosen scenario, aiming to get the bot to agree to a date.
The AI provides real-time feedback throughout the interaction. At the end of the conversation, it gives the user a score on a three-point scale using fire emojis. Tinder notes that this is intended to be fun and lighthearted and encourages users not to take the game too seriously. It is only available for a limited time to iOS users in the U.S.
