Apps that are focused on human connection sound to me like they're the absolute worst target for going 'AI-first'
Grindr would be exempt by that token then

#12Why has the world not made an open-source zero trust dating app? It's such a basic need it seems for people, but the current app landscape is filled with scams, dark patterns, selling your data, trying to keep you locked in,...
I'm guessing it gets overrun by spam, scams and porn bots even faster if its a low budget community thing.
Not to mention the gigantic legal iceberg the first time someone is attacked or worse after meeting through the app.

If I'm going out with someone the last thing I'd want is zero trust. In fact, I'd want the platform to thoroughly confirm everyone's identity

#14lol wut. What exactly is the AI doing for 500 USD a month? New AI features include recaps of previous conversations with other users, daily personalised profile recommendations and profile insights to help users identify who they are more likely to be compatible with. so basically bullshit? how thirsty do you have to be do pay for this?
Sortition, you get to date with other people who also have 500 bucks to spare. Any features you get are just window dressing.

#15> app that helps you connect with less effort and makes every conversation count
What makes things count is most often precisely the effort spent on them.

I guess you're not the target market

What would that even mean?
Not the open source part, what is a "zero trust dating app"?
Given what we see in other primates, abusive spouses almost certainly predate anatomically modern humans, while gold diggers will have likely existed from the moment we abstracted money in the sense of "rare shiny rock that is a token of power to be spent in the future".

#18Grindr is trash. It's mostly full of desperate incompatible people (i.e. same sexual position, mostly passives), open couples who just want dopamine hits and other time-wasters. Good luck with offering a $500 sub!
You'd actually be better off spending $500/mo on an escort or two. Surely they've realised at that price point, that's a serious competitor

#19"Powered by gAI™" I wonder if it would be worth creating an app that just sends you on dates using AI. Like, you don't even get to look at the other person's profile. Then afterwards you would report to the app whether you would go on another date with the person you just went out with or not.
Or just have your AI and their AI go on a date and report back how it went.

#20Think what you want, but trademarking "gAI" is quite the flex
Google invented it first. g.ai
