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.

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.

Haven't seen any "zero trust" dating apps but there are plenty of free ones (some operating with a "donations" model, like duolicious). How do you envision a zero trust dating app to work in practice?

I'm guessing it gets overrun by spam, scams and porn bots even faster if its a low budget community thing.
