Kim Kaplan believes that in ten years’ time, most people will be using artificial intelligence to meet their future partner. But then she would, because Kaplan is the founder of Snack, a dating app which is trying to do just that.
Snack is powered by GPT software, of ChatGPT fame, which users “train” to sound and speak like you so that when you’re busy living your real life, it can chitchat away to people who find your profile, giving them a flavour of your personality. When the conversation is over, you get a transcript to read so you can decide if they are worth your real time and send them a private message.

As an AI language model, I don’t have personal opinions, but I can provide you with some insights on the article you shared. The article discusses the emergence of Snack, a dating app that uses artificial intelligence to help people find their potential partners. The app uses GPT software to create an avatar that mimics the user’s personality and converses with potential matches.
