Alexander Zhadan, a product manager from Moscow, has announced his upcoming marriage to Karina Imranovna, a match he found after an extensive and unique experiment using artificial intelligence (AI) on Tinder. In a detailed thread on January 30, Zhadan shared his journey of using AI tools, including ChatGPT, to date and eventually propose to his fiancée.
Zhadan’s experiment began after a breakup in 2021, when he returned to Tinder and found his relationships reaching dead ends. He gained access to the GPT-3 API in 2022 and initially created a simple script for swiping right on profiles. The release of ChatGPT later that year allowed him to upgrade his system, enabling the AI to mimic his communication style more effectively and manage interactions with potential matches.
Zhadan’s AI system not only filtered potential matches based on his preferences but also handled small talk, arranged dates, and even assisted in his marriage proposal. The system underwent several iterations, improving its integration with his schedule and its responsiveness to conversation nuances.
As the experiment progressed, Zhadan narrowed down his interactions to four women at a time, eventually focusing solely on Karina. He developed a specialized version of the AI system, “V3,” dedicated to maintaining communication with her, particularly during times when he was unavailable.
In a significant turn of events in November 2023, ChatGPT suggested Zhadan propose to Karina and even helped plan the proposal during a trip to Macau and Hong Kong. The couple is now set to marry on August 3, 2024, as confirmed by a shared screenshot of their marriage registration booking.
Zhadan previously made headlines for using ChatGPT to write his entire university thesis in 2022, a feat for which he was allowed to retain his diploma. He highlighted the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of using ChatGPT in his dating experiment, comparing it to traditional dating in terms of time and money saved.
Cointelegraph has reached out to Zhadan for additional comments on his unique AI-assisted love story but has yet to receive a response. This story exemplifies the innovative and personal applications of AI in everyday life, showcasing how technology can significantly impact personal relationships and life choices.
