Tinder, the popular dating app, has a new trick up its sleeve. They've made an AI tool called Photo Selector to help users pick their best pictures for their profiles.
Here's how it works: First, you take a selfie so the AI knows what you look like. Then, you let the app look at photos on your phone. The AI picks out pictures it thinks are good and shows them to you. You can then choose which ones you want to use on your profile.
Key points
Tinder came up with this idea because many people find it hard to choose photos for their dating profiles. In fact, more than half of the people Tinder asked said picking profile pictures is tough. And most people thought an AI helper would be useful.
The company's boss, Faye Iosotaluno, says Tinder is the first dating app to use AI this way. She thinks it will make setting up profiles much easier, which is often one of the hardest parts of online dating.
Tinder also shared some tips for taking good profile pictures. They say the best photos are clear and well-lit. They also suggest having different types of photos, like a headshot and a picture of you doing something you love. And while group photos are okay, they say it's best to keep them to a minimum.
For now, Photo Selector is only available in the United States. But Tinder plans to make it available in other countries later this summer.
This new feature shows how AI is changing the way we use technology in our daily lives. It's meant to make things easier, but some people might worry about privacy. After all, you're letting an AI look at your personal photos. Tinder says they have ways to protect your data, but it's something to think about.
Overall, Tinder hopes this new tool will help people spend less time worrying about their photos and more time making connections with others.
