❤️ Ditto: A Black Mirror-Style AI Dating App

A new dating app with no likes, no swipes, and no small talk is going viral across California universities. It's called Ditto AI, and its creators were inspired by the Black Mirror episode Hang the DJ, where an AI system takes full control of matchmaking and first dates.

❤️ How Does It Work?

Users fill out a detailed profile with their interests, preferences, and red flags. Then, the model runs 1,000 simulations to find the most compatible partner. It picks the date, time, and location—and even suggests conversation topics.

"People are trapped in [dating apps] instead of going out there and actually contacting in real life, personal connections," said Allen Wang, who co-founded Ditto. "Why can't AI mimic and basically replace all the back and forth, all the swiping and the small talk and all that?"

❤️ What's Next?

Ditto already has around 10,000 users. For now, it's invite-only—registration is available only through a verified university email. But the team says they're getting ready to launch across hundreds of campuses across the U.S.

Would you trust your date to AI?

❤️ — Yes, I'm done with swiping!
🙈 — Nope, that's not for me…
