One of the more popular dating apps is attempting to use artificial intelligence to help write the questions that will connect people.
OKCupid has started experimenting with having users answer questions provided by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to Mashable. The company asked the bot to generate several questions that it thought would be useful for a dating profile, then incorporated a half dozen of them into its pool of queries used to match users.

“The chatbot from OpenAI wrote half a dozen questions for us — about everything from what you value most in a partner to how you can balance your own needs with the needs of a partner in a relationship,” OKCupid global head of communications Michael Kaye said.
The questions included whether someone was introverted or extroverted, whether they preferred mornings or nights, and what they value in a partner.
Some users have also started using ChatGPT to help produce profiles. Iris Dating, a service that uses AI to personalize suggestions, announced on Friday that it would help generate profiles via ChatGPT. Others have used the AI chatbot on Tinder to produce answers and chat responses.
Some users have tried to use the service to rewrite dating profiles but found the results lacking.
