I made a Tinder bot in the first month of GPT-3's public API release. The ethics made me squirm so I always asked for permission to turn it on and told people when it was on and off. The models moral alignment was way more "friendly" back then so turned it into some pretty saucy chats. The model was better than me at replying, still single though.

(It was simply holding onto the last 10-20 messages and injecting it into the prompt)

If they knew they were talking to a bot why did they do it? Did they say?

Sounds like a joke maybe?

Well, openers are the hardest part and it sounds like you're doing that well without the bot. 10-20 messages is a lot! In my view, the goal of an online dating interaction is some light banter before setting up a date.

Once a match replies, ask some playful open ended questions and if you're telling a short story, leave some cliff-hangers to try to get a follow-up response and then segue into setting up a date. Looking at my last conversation, I asked my match out on a date in my 7th message. After that we moved over to SMS.

How did people react to your request to turn on an AI bot?

Pretty much a 100% yes rate, it was novel at the time, early 2020.
