Unlucky in love? AI dating apps promise to help you up your game.

While online dating apps makes searching for love more convenient, finding that special person is as difficult as ever. A cute photo and simple "hello" may not be enough to help you break through the noise, which is why many of those feeling stuck on what to say are turning to artificial intelligence for assistance.
According to a study on singles in America released last month by dating app Match.com and The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, 1 in 4 singles — and nearly half of Gen Z — use AI to up their dating game. That's a 333% increase from a year ago.
"People are turning to AI for literally any use case you could imagine," said Kasley Killam, a social health and human connection expert. "And so it's inevitable that people are going to turn to AI for dating coaching."
Capitalizing on the trend are AI dating assistants, which coach people on what to say, what tone to strike and how to keep the conversation flowing if it hits a lull. For individuals who feel writing isn't their strong suit, the technology can be a real confidence booster.
