Hinge CEO Justin McLeod emphasized that while AI has the potential to assist users in their dating journey, it should not replace authentic human interaction. In a discussion with The New York Times, he declined the idea of AI agents dating on behalf of users, contrasting it with other dating platforms exploring such options. McLeod expressed that dating is a personal journey that users must engage in themselves, highlighting the importance of genuine connection over reliance on technology.
"I think that we just have this principle at Hinge that AI should really stand behind us and not between us."
"In a world where you're being replaced by agents who are dating on your behalf, the journey of dating is something that I think we each need to take on our own."
