Grindr proposes ‘AI wingman’ to optimize away the gay sex bit

"if we don’t do it, someone else will"

Ohh yes, if Grindr doesn't feed Grindr users's chats, which only the users involved and possibly Grindr itself are presumably privy to, to an LLM, someone else will.

No thanks, this pic gets me great enough results as it is.

You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it's fairly obvious that the people writing them don't spend time in grocery stores? I'm getting that same impression here.

App that is plagued by bot accounts thinks that adding more bot-nature will improve quality

Now let us embark on a journey and delve right into your asshole and explore the rich vibrant tapestry of your colon

Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It's an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there's a profile flag you can set that literally says "yes please, send me NSFW pics". You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

Grindr has been used to out people everywhere from Palestine to Egypt to Chechnya to America, so training a chaotic, insecure LLM on user data seems like the privacy disaster from hell.

Oh for FUCKS SAKE do not let AI in the way of my GENITALS

OK I've got it right! we do DRM, right, but for condoms

this is just zizek's perfect date but gay and with chatbots

I don't think "going to a random place the algorithm told you to and having sex with whoever else is there" is nearly as common a fetish as it would have to be for this to be anything approaching a viable concept.

Eurgh!

Covert conversion therapy by setting you up with the absolute worst of humanity has to offer.
