00:00When it comes to first dates, finding the right words isn't always easy.

00:10Some apps offer users the chance to practice flirting with AI chatbots.

00:20A good first impression is vital in the world of dating apps, where a picture alone can

00:24make or break a person's decision to swipe right.

00:28One app is testing an AI tool that searches a user's smartphone for images that would

00:33make the best profile picture.

00:35That of course means granting the app access to your photo library.

00:42And for those looking to skip a photoshoot, they can upload a few photos of themselves

00:46to an AI-powered app that generates new photos – what's promised to be the best version

00:51of you.

00:54As the seemingly friendly person you're chatting to really who they say they are,

01:00several apps use AI to filter out the fakes and the fraudsters.

01:10Some apps let you upload screenshots of your chats and then suggest possible replies generated

01:15by AI.

01:17Using these AI tools comes at the cost of your personal data and can result in uncomfortable

01:22consequences.

01:24The more I distance myself from my true appearance in my profile, the more difficult I'm making

01:29it for myself on the date.

01:31I'd almost say the less you optimize, the more successful you'll be when dating.

01:37Because then you're not as stressed about disappointing the other person.

01:39That's what I want to make clear, it only adds to your own stress.
