I’m reading “The Interview/Can Whitney Wolfe Herd Make Us Love Dating Apps Again?” (NYT). Wolfe Herd, a co-founder of Tinder, left Tinder and founded Bumble, then left Bumble and went back to Tinder, which she thinks she can reform into something that makes sense in this crazy world. Her career sounds like a romcom story arc — a jobcom.

I just want to focus on this one Q&A:
You’re quite bullish on A.I. I’ve heard you talk about it. How are you imagining A.I. functioning in this next iteration of the app?

Let’s say we could train A.I. on thousands of what we perceive as great profiles, and the A.I. can get so sophisticated at understanding: “Wow, this person has a thoughtful bio. This person has photos that are not blurry. They’re not all group photos. They’re not wearing sunglasses. We can see who they are clearly and we understand that they took time.” The A.I. can now select the best people and start showing the best people the best people and start getting you to a match quicker, more efficiently, more thoughtfully. The goal for Bumble over the next few years is to become the world’s smartest matchmaker. This is beyond love….

How do you become one of the best people who will be shown the best people? Obviously, you will use A.I. And so everyone using the app will also use A.I. to refine their profile, photos including, into something that A.I. has come to believe is best, and these A.I. bests will be paired up with other A.I. bests. Where, if anywhere, are the humans?
