Pietro Pecora: 我认为在线约会最糟糕的部分是筛选,这非常耗时。在 Grindr 上,你会看到周围的所有人,这既有优点也有缺点,因为每个人都可以联系你。我希望AI工具能帮我减少筛选时间,并推荐合适的匹配对象。我比较挑剔,希望在约会前通过聊天建立良好的基础。 Belle Lin: 疫情结束后,约会应用在保持用户数量方面面临挑战,因为人们更倾向于面对面的互动。Grindr 在讨论人工智能的应用方面领先。一些用户渴望约会应用带来新鲜有趣的东西,他们可能愿意为 AI 匹配服务付费。从投资者的角度来看,约会应用希望通过技术创新来增加付费用户数量、用户增长和收入。但我对人工智能持怀疑态度,因为我们以前见过类似的故事,但结果并不总是好的。 George Anderson: 我认为人工智能是技术上的一次重大平台转变,它可以为用户做很棒的事情。用户最想要的功能是推荐与他们喜欢的个人资料相似的其他个人资料。很高兴听到用户认为在线约会最烦人的部分是筛选,因为这正是我们希望通过 AI 解决的问题。我完全相信 Wingman 能够帮助 Pietro 减少筛选时间。我认为人工智能找到你的伴侣几乎肯定会发生,如果 Grindr 不做,其他人也会做。我认为人工智能将彻底改变在线约会的世界,以及人们在线或线下的每一次互动。人工智能非常重要,因为我们可以通过它创造更好的用户体验。
