La partida fantasma: mi experimento fallido de Tinder y la IA

Today I decided to test the waters on a dating app, aiming for something relaxed. The conversation started with my playful opening about keeping things simple, and it went well enough at first.

El inicio y el consejo

I sent over my initial message, and she responded warmly. Seeing that momentum, I naturally turned to an AI tool for some strategic advice on how to keep the energy up without overthinking it. The analysis was thorough—it suggested keeping things light and even proposing a coffee date.

Armed with that advice, I felt confident about moving the conversation forward. However, the reality was something else entirely.

La realidad del ghosting

Despite the AI’s confident analysis and my best efforts to follow its logic, she ghosted me immediately after our exchange. It was a rapid transition from optimism to silence.

I spent some time reflecting on the interaction and the AI’s failed attempt to save it. The conclusion? It was just Tinder being Tinder. Sometimes, even after a positive exchange like that, the app mechanics or user behavior make these things happen regardless of your strategy.

It was an interesting experiment in futility. I analyzed every message and consulted an AI, only to realize that the outcome wasn’t necessarily about my words at all.
