"Hey, you seem nice. Our AI chatbots should totally fuck."
This is just that zizek quote
Bumble was my last straw for dating apps a few years back. I paid for a the premium service for a few months, then i started dating a girl so i cancelled it. I even had an email notification and everything saying it was cancelled. Four months later i was still getting charged, and they had zero customer service contact info to try and dispute it. So i called up my bank and disputed the charges, forwarded on the cancellation email, and then got a full refund from the bank.

It's almost as if when the profit is in having paying users then keeping people on the platform is the optimal working app not the one where you date and successfully leave.
It looks like you don't have a personality yet. Would you like to use AI to generate one for you? Honestly, why are you even trying to date at that point?
to the “Bumble for Friends” section of the app.
Come on, it's in the description, you don't even need to open the article.

An AI message for dating? Have people just given up on living?
South Park did this 2 tears ago, lol
Cyber doll with AI personality, hmm. I've seen this movie before.
It's using user details without consent.
This is on the "looking for friends" part of the app, but yeah, it's pretty sad.
