       Show HN: Ever Been Rated by an AI Date? Try Dating Playground and
       Get Feedback
        
       Hey HackerNews folks!  I first launched DatingAI.pro to help people
       improve their dating profiles, get reply suggestions, etc but to
       that I got feedback where people pointed out that someone could
       just impersonate their entire profile which made sense and I
       thought what if I could actually help people really get better at
       texting or conversations by giving them feedback and letting them
       improve via suggestions.  I understand a human date can't be
       replaced but certainly we could help to an extent. NOTE - THIS IS
       NOT AN AI GIRLFRIEND.  This is how it works: 1. Swipe from profiles
       of the opposite gender and then you're matched with someone. 2.
       Start an engaging chat & earn or lose points based on your charm
       (or lack thereof). 3. Simultaneously get reply suggestions to
       navigate the conversation. 4. Receive a final verdict: Would they
       like to go out on a date with you?  And the best part? Those points
       aren't just for bragging rights they can be redeemed them for other
       features in the tool. Think of it as a dating simulator with
       tangible rewards.  Would love to know your thoughts

       | 
       | You say "swipe profiles of the opposite gender", why would gender
       | matter to an AI?
       | 
       | As in, why wouldn't you just say "what type of person are you
       | interested in", and have all the options. Again, the AI doesn't
       | care what your interest is, it just needs to have some idea of
       | how to behave.
       | 
       | Ok, so I kinda tried it, and now I see, you don't "require"
       | opposite sex, you just say "what are you interested in. I'd think
       | Bi people wouldn't want to have to choose, so maybe an "both" or
       | "either" option would work (? - ask a Bi person, don't go on my
       | recommendation).
       | 
       | So now I'm getting a tinder like experience, and I swiped right.
       | But I have to keep swiping?
       | 
       | Why? It's an AI, it isn't going to "choose" me, so why make me go
       | though the pain of waiting to find out if she is going to talk to
       | me?
       | 
       | The "generate opening lines" is a title I don't like, and then
       | you want me to past something from somebody elses bio? How did I
       | get to someone's bio? Was I supposed to know to copy that at some
       | point?
       | 
       | Anyway, I'm not a target user, but I think you need a bunch of
       | work on UX/UI, and really figure out what problem you're trying
       | to solve, and if this is even the right way to solve it.
