match group surveyed 1,000 us singles regarding ai integration in romance, finding that while 47% hold a negative general view, specific aversions run deeper: 40% would refuse to date someone using an ai companion, rising to 51% among women aged 18-24. paradoxically, 64% of singles still desire ai assistance for administrative tasks like selecting photos or initiating chat. the data indicates a market preference for ai as a utility tool to reduce friction rather than as a substitute for human connection, complicating strategies like bumble's proposed 'bot-to-bot' dating.
