Topic - Algorithmic love

 

In recent years, the concept of "algorithmic love" has revolutionized the way people connect. With the rise of apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and even AI like ChatGPT for messaging, romance no longer depends solely on fate, but on code, data, and machine learning.

It's the idea that a computer program can predict (or even decide) who we're compatible with, based on:

1. Demographic data (age, location, education).
2. Behavior on the app (which profiles you like, how long it takes you to respond).
3. Stated preferences (height filters, religion, hobbies).
4. Machine learning (the more you use it, the more it "learns" what attracts you).

Apps that use algorithms for matchmaking:

• Tinder (Elo Score): It used to rank users by "attractiveness" (like a video game ).
• Hinge ("Most Compatible"): Uses an algorithm based on your likes and conversations.
• Bumble: Prioritizes profiles with high engagement.
• OkCupid: In-depth questions to calculate your compatibility percentage.
