       | are independent players who would address is better. My friend is
       | building https://exh.ai/ that actually has dating as a dedicated
       | category, and I know that the quality required for dating context
       | is very different from what ChatGPT can produce

       | escalation to further steps. Then suggest escalated matches to
       | each side and if mutual interest lead each into the post-small
       | talk conversation to pick up from there providing an inherent ice
       | breaker.

       | If it's not Match, it will be someone else, but this is
       | definitely going to be the future of online dating. Simulated
       | speed dating.

       | ...do OkCupid match questions matter any more? AFAIK they long
       | ago demoted "has a high match percentage" to being just one
       | search-lens among many (one that's not taken into account in the
       | weighting for any other search filter); removed the ability to
       | search by question-answer; and removed all the previous
       | gamifiication that got people answering more than the initial few
       | match questions (so nobody who joined the service after ~5 years
       | ago has more than the initial 10 onboarding questions answered.)
       | 
       | As far as I can tell, the whole "Q&A compatibility-vector
       | fingerprint-matching" thing is just completely vestigial now, and
       | OkCupid has just become another marque of the dating-industrial
       | complex that is Match Group/IAC.
       | 
       | So, given that context, I'm kind of surprised that they're
       | bothering with things like this this!
