Have those AI friends play matchmaker between their human companions, solves both problems.
AI would be a good matchmaker between people who were honest, but I think that doesn't address the main problem with online dating. That problem (at least for heterosexuals) is that there are a lot more men than women participating. I think women don't like online dating because they get harassed by creeps and they're worried that even someone who seems nice will turn out to be a creep in real life. Creeps will be willing to lie to a matchmaking AI because they don't actually care about compatibility and just want the "one weird trick" that gets women to have sex with them.
Creeps are a problem for more than just women. I downloaded Scruff, a gay dating app, a few weeks ago and the very first interaction I had on there was a guy starting off the interaction asking about my genitals (🚩, but I tactfully disclose being trans in my profile...) and immediately after I explained he asked for pictures. And my profile says I don't do pics.
Some men just suck.
