Recently, Aleksandr Zhadan, an AI developer from Russia, shared his good news on the social platform X: he will marry his girlfriend Karina Imranovna in August this year. The developer's search for love was quite unique. He used AI tools such as ChatGPT to communicate with 5239 women on Tinder and finally found his ideal partner.
Aleksandr revealed that after breaking up with his ex-girlfriend in 2021, he started looking for a new relationship on Tinder. However, the relationships he established within a few weeks always ended abruptly. To change this situation, he obtained the GPT-3 API in March 2022 and developed a simple script to filter female users' profiles with more than two photos. With the launch of ChatGPT, he upgraded his system.
This AI system combines ChatGPT with photo recognition software, which can filter out users with explicit photos, zodiac information, and other content. When talking to potential matches on the Tinder platform, the system can mimic the developer's tone of voice. Interestingly, sometimes the system arranges dates or buys gifts such as flowers or chocolates without the developer's knowledge. To deal with this situation, the developer integrated the system with Google Calendar and developed a new feature: when ChatGPT struggles to handle the conversation, the developer can intervene personally.
After screening and dating, Aleksandr ultimately chose Karina as his partner. To interact better with Karina, he launched the third version of the AI system specifically for communication with her. In November 2023, based on the conversations with Karina, ChatGPT suggested that Aleksandr propose to her during their trip to Hong Kong and Macau.
It is worth mentioning that in 2022, Aleksandr admitted to using ChatGPT to write his entire university graduation thesis, and his diploma was allowed to be retained. Now, this AI developer is about to enter the realm of marriage with his beloved girlfriend, and this unique search for love has become a topic of conversation.
