A corollary to this: After seeing

I'm imagining a world where everyone on dating apps is able to craft these clever messages, giving those who actually put in the effort no way to stand out apart from their looks. Creativity, wit, humor and other personality traits which were atleast somewhat important are now diminished even further.

Combined with news like https://www.thecut.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-ch..., which indicates that AI of the future could actually supplant human connection, it's very dystopian indeed.

I was imagining similar things. Dating apps, in general, are already pretty poor experiences for a lot of people. This won't help.

Will scammers use it to create more believable bot matches?

Maybe we'll have to go back to meeting at bars.

Meeting in bars seems more organic to me anyway. Although admittedly I might be biased since I originally met my wife in a bar before dating apps had taken off.
