"As artificial intelligence enters its dating era, it has taken on an increasing number of roles: cupid, wingman, even romantic interest. Where once people's biggest concern was being unfortunately catfished by old photos and flattering filters, now if a person seems too good to be true, well, they might not even be human at all. Hily's Dating App T.R.U.T.H. report surveyed 1,559 U.S. daters and found 82% of Gen Z and 87% of Millennials are already turning to AI in their dating lives."
"Just as in traditional dating, there are some double standards at play. For Gen Z, 62% say they'd be turned off if they discovered their match was using AI during the talking stage, despite being happy to use it themselves. This number increased to 70% for Millennials. As one Gen Z dater on Hily said: "I'd be less attracted. It's lazy and unnecessary. Demonstrates a lack of creativity and care.""
82% of Gen Z and 87% of Millennials already use AI in dating, and up to 95% plan to use it in the future. Many daters use AI to generate bios and to suggest conversation topics. Significant double standards exist: 62% of Gen Z and 70% of Millennials say they would be turned off if a match used AI during the talking stage despite using AI themselves. Daters express concerns that AI-driven messages feel lazy, inauthentic, and undermine creativity and care. Some view "chatfishing" as outsourcing emotional labor amid dating burnout, raising questions about attraction to people versus algorithms.
