- Tinder’s new game feature allows users to train to flirt with AI characters
- Voice -based meetings provide real -time comments on your charm
- Users are assessed on a three -flames scale to gamify the experience
I am very happy married, but the memories of atrocious anxiety in the attempted flirts are sculpted in my brain forever. The simple fact of getting up to start a conversation looked like a victory. Maybe it would have been less intense after practicing with someone who has absolutely no chance of rejecting me, for example, a character of AI. This is what Tinder thinks. The dating application has published an experience fed by AI called “The Game Game”, which produces artificial conversational partners and fictional situations so that you can practice these collection lines.
Despite the release of April 1, the game is a real feature without freshness integrated into the IOS application of Tinder. Using the GPT-4O AI model of Openai, the functionality allows you to practice flirting with AI characters. Play a scenario as you are at an airport, and your romantic interest generated by AI has accidentally picked up your identical suitcase. The sparks fly. You charm them. Or at least you try.
You access it by pressing the Tinder logo in the corner of the application, where you have a stack of virtual cards. Everyone contains a random personality, although on the basis of your age and other preferences. This character is associated with a scenario of an often cheesy dating mine in a random place. Anyway, AI initiates the conversation and you answer with your voice.
And the voices are all different, with accents, rates and unique tones. In fact, you speak aloud to your phone, you stop and speak of the scenario as if you were joking with a charming unknown in real life. You can see some examples of the scenarios and “people” to whom I spoke below.
Flirt
I admit that I went skeptical, but it was actually a fairly fluid interaction that did not feel Gulu at all. I could imagine trying to work with my first conversational gambits with. Real -time comments do not tell you if you have “won” the scenario; It pushes you. If you are too sarcastic, AI could suggest that you compose it. If your answers are a bit flat, it could encourage you to open. Depending on the way you manage, the AI marks your “date” using a three -field rating system, a coast of Michelin Coquette.
This gamification is probably a major draw for some who like the idea of a somewhat objective note. Of course, AI is not perfect. Sometimes the responses felt canned, repetitive or simply a little. There are railings in place so that users cannot turn into an extremely inappropriate territory, which could sometimes be too limited, although it keeps the atmosphere light and bizarre in the right way.
I do not think that the game will be universally loved, because it presents itself as a somewhat gimmicky concept. And some people may fear that it is another step towards the outsourcing of a real human interaction. But I think most people know it’s just a simulation with sophisticated technology that allows you to repeat for real people.
The game is only available for a limited period on iOS in the United States, but I would not be surprised if Tinder brought it back and widen access if it turned out to be popular. That practice results in real success, let’s just say that word games are a successful tactic with AI and real people.
