Hello and welcome to the Automated, your AI tour guide.
Dating apps can be a brutal battlefieldβawkward first messages, ghosting, and letβs not even talk about the horrors of βheyβ as an opener.Β
But what if you could practice your flirting game before diving into the real deal?
Well, Tinder just launched something that could either make or break the dating game forever.
Hereβs what we have for you today:
π Tinderβs Surprising (And Slightly Controversial) New AI Feature.
π¦Ύ The AI Models People Are Obsessing Over.
πΌ 8 easy ways to use ChatGPT to make your small business more efficient.
π Beyond ChatGPT: 3 AI tools that will help you.
π€ ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Task-Specific Optimization.
π Tinderβs Surprising (And Slightly Controversial) New AI Feature.

Think youβve got game? Tinder wants to put that to the testβwith an AI.
The dating app just launched The Game Game, an AI-powered flirting simulator where you practice your rizz on a chatbot.
And no, this isnβt some elaborate April Foolβs joke (though the timing is highly suspicious).
Powered by OpenAIβs GPT-4o, the game throws you into hilariously over-the-top rom-com scenariosβlike a dramatic airport luggage mix-up or the classic whoops, I just crushed your sunglasses on the beach.
Your job? Flirt your way to victory.
Hereβs How It Works:
The AI makes the first move. You respond in real time with your voice, attempting to charm the bot into setting up a virtual date.
Then, you get instant feedbackβscored with flame emojis, because of course.
If your game is weak, the AI gives tips. If youβre rude or boring, it politely calls you out.
Each Session lasts just three minutes, with a five-play-per-day limitβbecause, you know, Tinder still wants you talking to actual humans.
Tinder insists this isnβt some attempt to replace real relationships (this isnβt Her, okay?). Instead, itβs meant to be a fun, judgment-free way to help people practice flirting.
And honestly? It kind of makes sense.
A Forbes Health survey found that 79% of Gen Z reported dating app burnout last year. Meanwhile, Tinderβs own research shows that 64% of young singles are totally fine with a little cringe if it leads to a real connection.
Plus, letβs be realβdating is awkward. So why not lean into it?
AI-powered romance is already a thing. Apps like Blush, Rizz, and Teaser offer AI companions for users whoβd rather charm a bot than deal with the chaos of real dating.
And guess what? People are using themβa lotβsometimes without even realizing it. A massive online survey (90,000+ respondents) found that:
26% of people have flirted with a chatbotβsometimes unknowingly and other times for fun.
60% of users have suspected (or confirmed) that they matched with a bot.
90% of people want dating apps to verify if users are real humans.
So while Tinder says this is just a fun game, itβs also a strategic move. AI flirting is already happening, and this might be their way of embracing it before it takes over completely.
The Real Question is: Can AI Actually Improve Dating?
Tinder has been rolling out AI features for a whileβlike an AI-powered photo selector to help you pick your best pics. And soon, theyβll be adding AI tools for better discovery and matching.
But hereβs the ironyβAI in dating isnβt necessarily making things better. If anything, itβs making it harder to tell whoβs real and whoβs just a really good bot.
According to those statistics, 90% of users want dating apps to verify that people are actual humans, while 66% donβt trust that apps do enough to keep bots out.
Love, after all, is messy, unpredictable, and very human.
And while AI can definitely help people put their best foot forward (or at least pick a decent profile pic), it also raises a big question: Are we swiping toward real connections, or just getting better at talking to robots?
Because letβs be honestβThe Game Game (which is now live for U.S. users) is definitely going to lead to some weird first-date stories.
All the juicy details are here.

π¦ΎThe AI Models People Are Obsessing Over.

We all know ChatGPT is the chatbot king, right?
But guess what? Thereβs a growing squad of AI rivals gaining serious traction.
According to recent data from Similarweb and Sensor Tower, a real battle is brewing behind the scenes, and the growth numbers might just surprise you.
Letβs break it down:
Googleβs Gemini: The underdog thatβs quickly rising saw its daily traffic hit 10.9 million visits in Marchβa 7.4% jump from the previous month.
Anthropicβs Claude is trailing far behind, with an average of 3.3 million daily visits in March.
Microsoftβs OpenAI-powered Copilot: (talk about family drama) pulled in a modest 2.4 million daily visits, a 2.1% increase from February. Itβs not there yet, but itβs definitely in the race.
DeepSeekβs ChatbotβChinaβs AI underdogβclocked a solid 16.5 million visits in March, despite a 25% drop from February.
And then thereβs Elonβs xAI Grokβ-the one everyoneβs suddenly talking about. Itβs web app launched just a few months ago, but now itβs matching DeepSeekβs 16.5 million daily visits.
And get this: itβs seen a jaw-dropping 800% surge in traffic month-over-month!
So, whatβs driving this sudden interest in these rivals?
Well, these AI companies are rolling out new models and features faster than you can say "robot takeover." For instance:
Claude 3.7 Sonnet dropped in late February, and its mobile app saw a 21% boost in weekly active users.
Gemini 2.0 Flash, released around the same time, saw a 42% increase in users. No doubt these shiny new features are definitely driving people in.
Speaking of shiny new things, Googleβs recently added βcanvasβ feature to Gemini (which lets users preview coding projects) is making geeks everywhere jump for joy.
As for Claude, itβs been steadily adding new tools to its app, all of which are fueling bigger user bases and faster growth for these bots.
But letβs be real: OpenAI probably isnβt losing any sleep over this. Even with the competition heating up, it still boasts 10 times the weekly mobile app active users of Gemini and Claude combined.
To put it simply: ChatGPT is flexing with an astonishing 500 million weekly active users!
So, while others are catching up, itβs clear that ChatGPT still holds the crownβat least for now.
But hey, things could get interesting real quick.

βοΈ Editorβs Corner
Hi everyone
This has been an exceptionally busy week!
First I was accepted into Harvard Business Publishing Educationβs Pilot Group on AI, where I will help them iterate and improve on case study teaching with AI. Harvard is well-known for their case study method, and itβs a privilege to be able to help with that.
Second, my academic presentation Teaching in the Age of AI was accepted by AMICAL, an academic consortium of over 20 liberal arts institutions. I will speak and discuss how teaching at universities have changed with AI, and what educators can learn.
Iβm particularly excited about our new daily AI prompt videos for premium subscribers - where we drop bite sized teachings on how to use the ChatGPT Prompt of the Day.
Think of me as your AI trainer for the day, everyday, for just $9.99/month. And thatβs better than a gym membership!
I look forward to welcoming you and teaching you even more.
Cheers,
Tak Lo. Editor at The Automated, AI entrepreneur and thought leader.
