OkCupid reignites fling with ChatGPT as summer dating heats up
The dating app is using the chatbot to write OkCupid’s famous matching questions and share outdoor date ideas
Last year we released new in-app matching questions written by ChatGPT about everything from what you value most in a partner to how you can balance your own needs with the needs of a partner. Since then, daters have answered them more than 4 million times.
Now, as the weather gets warmer, activity on OkCupid is heating up as well. There’s already been 150 million first messages sent on our app this year, so we decided to tap the famous chatbot once again — this time to write new matching questions (that were already answered more than 100 thousand times at launch) and share date ideas to help singles navigate dating this summer.
