Iris Dating Is an AI Dating App That Predicsts Chemistry
THE SUN – A computer scientist has created a dating app that uses AI, which he claims knows him better than he knows himself. According to founder Igor Khalatian, Iris Dating can find a user's perfect match, but it might not be who you expect. The app was created to predict chemistry between two people and vastly increase the likelihood that swiping will actually lead somewhere. He came up with the project idea after realizing that "primary attraction" is necessary for a successful relationship. He asked users to rate stock images of people so the AI could determine what facial features they liked. The AI has paired people together who were so drawn to one another that issues of religion, race, and politics all fell away. After reading some scientific literature, he stumbled across a theory that people actually have predetermined ideas of what they find attractive which he deemed "primary attraction."

Gen Z Is Ready to Break up With Tinder
LOS ANGELES TIMES – Heterosexual couples in the U.S. are now more likely to meet a romantic partner online than via any other mode of connection. And during the pandemic, online dating reached new heights. On Snack, users upload TikTok-style videos instead of photos. The company is focusing on on-the-ground promotion at college campuses and currently has the most users in California, Texas, Florida and New York. Schmooze, another dating app wooing Gen Z, is also organized around a form of digital content. Instead of people's profiles, users are greeted with a meme set against a colorful, cartoon-like backdrop, with the choice to swipe right for "like" and left for "don't like." Dating app called Iris is taking the opposite approach. Returning to the fundamentals of physical attraction, the app, which was launched in early 2020, has users train a machine-learning algorithm by swiping through three rounds of stock photos. It then recommends potential matches.
