With Valentine’s Day around the corner, in this episode we’re taking a look at what it’s like to be looking for love right now — and the technology that’s meant to help us do it. Lots of dating apps are integrating AI features these days, but are they making it easier to find real-life connections? We talk to Jason Parham, senior writer at Wired magazine, to try to find out.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
“AI-Powered Dating Is All Hype. IRL Cruising Is The Future.” from Wired
“Who The Hell is Actually Using Facebook Dating?” from Wired
Key findings about online dating in the U.S. from Pew Research Center
