More Evidence Emerges That Dating Is Becoming a Bleak, AI-Powered Office Job

For the past few years, AI boosters have been wearing out their little cliché that says in the future, every human job will be management of AI employees. That cliché looks like it’s turning out to be increasingly accurate, but in literally the worst possible area of human endeavor: love.

Two similar horror stories came out this weekend—fittingly on Halloween. One in the Guardian was about a survey from Match Group providing some data about AI’s prevalence in dating, while a longer piece in the New York Times was about the effect AI is having on dating culture in San Francisco.

Match Group’s data are drawn from 3,000 British singles. 39% of daters say they’ve used AI in some form in their dating lives, but among Gen-Z, the percentage is 66. Gen-Z is older than you might think if you’re an old yourself; the oldest members of that generation are now 29, so if we assume the British are a representative sample, it would not be farfetched to say everyone under 30 in the dating world is either dealing with AI use, or using AI themselves.

Meanwhile, the New York Times story about San Francisco’s singles scene is worth reading in full—particularly the sections about people making startup-style pitch decks for their friends at singles events, and about the tech entrepreneurs who can barely squeeze dating into their self-imposed ceaseless workdays.
