Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd caused a stir by suggesting AI could help people date. She said an "AI dating assistant" could learn about your insecurities, give tips on communicating better, and even virtually date for you by scanning for compatible matches. Her comments about AI proxies going on dates in your place immediately reminded people of the dystopian TV series 'Black Mirror.' While Herd framed it as fostering healthier relationships, critics blasted the idea as further removing human connection from dating. The concept reignited debates around the ethics of AI and society's overdependence on technology. As AI capabilities grow, Herd's proposal offers a glimpse into dating's potential future - for better or worse.
