Hinge AI: Swipe Right on Bots, But Not Your Boyfriend!
Hinge CEO Justin McLeod insists AI is the trusty wingman, not a stand-in boyfriend, telling us on the 'Rapid Response' podcast, 'I don't think that an AI chatbot should be your friend or certainly not your boyfriend or girlfriend.' Owned by Match Group, which also runs Tinder and OKCupid, Hinge uses AI to 'stand behind us and not between us,' helping 1.7 million paying users polish profiles and find matches—without the existential dread of dating a chatbot, thank goodness. Meanwhile, Meta's Zuckerberg dreams of bot pals filling our lonely hearts, but Hinge's busy crushing it with $168M revenue and 18% growth.

When Hinge says 'no AI boyfriends,' but Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg wants chatbots as BFFs, you realize even our dating apps suffer from messy love triangles—only this one’s tech-flavored and heartbreakingly human.
Hinge's AI helps you get dates, not dates. Irony level: unmatched. Who knew romance required less robot and more awkward small talk?
Meta wants bots to cure loneliness while Hinge just wants you to suffer through bad dates IRL. Choose your misery wisely, friends.
