Would you hire an artificial intelligence dating concierge?

One of the most overlooked moments on 'Diarra from Detroit' was the post-sex dating reality

This is not the TV thief. This was my real-time reaction to a guy I met at a lounge after work. The guy hugging my shoulders walked up to me and asked me to buy him a drink. I laughed hysterically. I’m sure he’s some lucky woman’s husband by now. He should’ve been a comedian. (Photo credit: Yoisha Niya)

If we’re not careful, we can be attracted to something superficial or inauthentic. We have to train ourselves not to instantly like and trust the most attractive person in the room without remembering that we don’t know this person or understand them.

“Diarra from Detroit” is probably going to stay in my top five streaming shows by the end of 2024. The eighth episode was “meh” (minus the Morris Chestnut bathtub scene), but the first seven were a delight. This show is hilarious, nail-biting, juicy and unapologetically refuses to code-switch. And one of the most overlooked scenes in all eight episodes of Season 1 was Diarra suggesting that she and her date, Chris, act like they were already on their third date to get past all the first date awkwardness.

I thought that sounded like an interesting idea, specifically when Chris said he possibly knew her “biblically” by that point. That tells you what kinda timeline he was on in the dating world. However, Ava and Keyshawn were far more on point for what actually happens in the dating world post-”biblical” dating, with a level of honesty that would’ve cut Date 1 short. (Been there. This guy told me he was in trouble for stealing TVs 24 hours later and was baffled when I called it quits. Be a TV thief on your own time, not mine.)

Bumble brings up AI dating concierges

All of these dating tales led me to an interesting topic in technology: an artificial intelligence (AI) dating concierge, a better way to vet the date ahead of time than online dating apps try to. Although I’ve never been on Bumble outside of writing consumer-dominant reviews for an online dating series, it’s interesting to hear why Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder of the dating app Bumble, thinks an AI dating concierge should be the new wave. (And after one Moscow man met his wife using ChatGPT, there may be something to more-focused tech dating talk.)
