How Consumers Are Redefining Trust, Authenticity, and Boundaries in Modern Romance.

Dating apps are racing to integrate AI—but do consumers actually want it? We surveyed 520 dating app users and collected 101 in-the-moment video responses to find out where AI belongs in modern romance, and where it absolutely doesn't. What we found: people aren't anti-AI. They're anti-overreach. And the line between the two is more nuanced than most platforms realize.

Where comfort drops sharply: the specific features that cross from "helpful" to "too much"
What builds trust in AI-powered dating features—and it's not what you'd expect
How attitudes differ by gender, generation, and dating app usage
Actionable takeaways for platforms navigating the AI integration tightrope
