Tinder, one of the most widely used dating apps today, recently announced an AI upgrade that is designed to help users decide which photos are the hottest.
The Tinder algorithm, which has been around for years, is based on an algorithm that primarily looks at two main factors—age and attractiveness. Over the years, the algorithm has become more accurate and more user-friendly, suggesting only the “hottest” possible applicants for users.
Tinder’s recent upgrade, however, takes this a step further by using AI technology to make decisions about which photo to choose. The AI, trained on thousands of images of individuals, is able to determine which photo is the more attractive one in very short order. It uses things like facial expression, lighting, composition, and facial features to determine which photo its algorithm deems the “hottest” one for each user.
The AI then suggests three photos to each user—two that are deemed “hot” and one that is recommended because it has the potential to be the most successful. The user can then accept or reject the AI’s recommendations.
Tinder hopes that this AI upgrade will help users make better decisions when selecting which photos to upload. The idea is that users who are more confident in the “hottest” photos they post will be more likely to attract the matches they are looking for.
The new AI has been well-received by Tinder users. Many have reported feeling more confident in the photos they select as a result of the AI’s recommendations, and are pleased with the time-saving aspect of the feature as well.
Overall, the new upgrade is a welcome addition to the Tinder user experience. As AI technology evolves, it is likely that we will see Tinder continue to up its game in this regard, with potentially more features being added in the coming months or years. Until then, users can enjoy the convenience of having an AI assistant to help them decide which photo is the hottest.
