ChatGPT turns matchmaker, finds the ‘perfect one’ for a 23-year-old man

Zhadan shared his story on X and said that he had been using ChatGPT for the past year to communicate with a girl online, whom he proposed to later. On the basis of his chat history, ChatGPT re-communicated with 5239 girls, whom it eliminated from its system and left only one, which it thinks could be the perfect match for Zhadan. Scary, right?

Zhadan further tells what happened with the other girls and what problems were there.

Zhadan, a software developer came out of a two-year relationship in 2021 and wanted someone new to share his emotions with. He tried Tinder and even went on a few dates with women from Moscow and St. Petersburg but due to certain “characteristics” like drinking a lot and emotional swings, he couldn’t match up his feelings with any of the women. It was then that he decided to use ChatGPT.

"I never revealed my speaking style to ChatGPT," Zhadan said. At first, there were challenges as the system was not acquainted with his way of speaking, and it would produce immature responses.

But over time, he managed to train the bot to communicate with women in a manner that reflected his speech patterns. The artificial intelligence bot successfully filtered out incorrect matches before finally settling on his now wife, Karina.

The responses generated by ChatGPT were so organic, that Karina never realised that initially that she had been talking to an AI bot, as per reports. Zhadan eventually told the truth to Karina, to which she reacted calmly.

Zhadan also made a set of rules for ChatGPT when scanning through Tinder profiles of women. He shared, “I made a filter to filter out girls using the ChatGPT and FlutterFlow APIs” profiles with less than 2 photos, with written zodiac signs, and profiles without a questionnaire. This eventually narrows down his search to one person in the end."

Zhadan said he chose this way to find a partner because "finding a loved one is very difficult". "I want to have time to work, do hobbies, study, and communicate with people. I could go this route myself without ChatGPT, it’s just much longer and more expensive," he said.

From the age of hand-written letters to using ChatGPT to find a partner, we have come a long way.
