I sat and watched an interview with Bumble founder.....Whitney Wolfe Herd....who got into a talk about the future of dating.
So her idea is that Artifical Intelligence (AI) is very shortly reaching a stage where you would talk to your AI-date-handler, and it would have reviewed 'options' (say 100,000 people)....to recommend 'winners'.
How many questions would have to be asked and measured? She doesn't say, but I would imagine this is a four-hour interview to reach 1,000 conclusions about your expectations.
If you say it has to be a gal who cooks....knows something about timing belts, is at least 35 years old, and drinks beer from the can.....it might only list four people from the entire state.....then mention that two of the ladies are in the state prison.
To me, the question comes up....would you trust the AI to find the dream-person?
Then you come to the obvious....what if people lied about the 1,000 answers they gave to the AI?
How many filters would a 45-year old guy establish? Five? Twelve? Forty?
I paused over this...just on myself? I might have twenty hard NO-GO filters established. I wouldn't want a cult-gal....someone who constantly wants to walk on beaches...a paranoid schizophrenic....a Amazon-shaped gal who was a former wrestler....someone with ten weird tattoos.....or a Vega-gal. Environmentalist? No. Two-pack a day smoker? No.
I would imagine these AI folks would eventually come around and tell you in a blunt way.....you made it too difficult....there ain't anyone that weird to fit your profile.
