Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's an interesting idea. A simulated version of me dates simulated versions of everyone else, and then tells me which ones were any good... It would save the hassle, for sure. Could reintroduce some honesty into hookups, too, less dancing around trying to figure out if that's what you're both after.

I'm not at all convinced that any company can convincingly simulate my personality though.. and there are too many layers of abstraction here, do I really trust that the AI simulated opinions of the AI simulated version of the person thst only had a simulated conversation with simulated me is really going to reflect the real situation? I doubt it.

There was a black mirror episode about this.

I'm going to get that tattooed backwards across my forehead.

Until you realize that somebody can make up a fake version of themselves, or pay for "extra benefits" or whatever. I too like the idea, but I'm afraid it's already been ruined.

Man, sounds like regular dating all over again
