You will meet, in your lifetime, a very small fraction of 1% of the human race. There exists, out there, thousands of people that you would form a life long bonds with of the type that many people never find. If a machine can help you with that, why is that so bad? I know it's trendy to have this cynical 'tech bro bad lol' approach to literally any intersection of society and tech, but we've been 'tech-bro'ing social relationships as society changes in response to technology for centuries now.

do you trust that this won't end up as bad or worse than what's become of social media?
I'm just confused what you think a chatbot is where it would do anything but complicate this process. It's a lot easier to confuse a recruiter than it is to go on dates.
