Study Claims that Dating Profiles Written by AI Are Less Likely to Attract Interest; Men Appear More Gullible Than Women When Swiping Right

AI might be slowly taking over the world, but it’s still lagging behind in online dating, a study claims.

Singles are much more likely to swipe right on a real life profile compared to one written by ChatGPT.

The results found that 36 per cent of women said ‘Yes’ on Tinder to an AI-generated man, but this rose to nearly 64 per cent who did so for genuine life details.

But it was much closer for men, who swiped right for 46 percent of AI summaries and 54 percent of human-written ones.

Alex Limanowka, a relationship coach and psychotherapist, said: “This gender disparity suggests that men are often more trusting of photos and may swipe right without reading the woman’s profile.”

She insists that the impact of AI is increasing in dating apps, where it is used to generate personal information and edit images.

But he admitted that the experiment showed that humans still had an advantage over chatbots, as they would invariably provide more original responses.

Since users are drawn to distinctive personalities, he added: “AI can produce perfectly correct descriptions, but it can’t capture the essence of human uniqueness.”

One in four recently engaged or married met online, according to a survey of 5,000 couples.

Additional research suggests dating app marriages are less likely to end in divorce.

The experiment, conducted by gambling platform Mecca Games, used Tinder profiles contributed by volunteers.

The human bios tended to have more original responses, citing specific passions and providing more personal details, while the AI-generated ones were more vague, with generic phrases that read more like a job letter.
