New research from arXiv, utilizing survey data from the international dating platform Fledge.Love, investigates user attitudes towards autonomous conversational AI agents within online dating. The study addresses a gap in public evidence regarding how users react when encountering machine-generated profiles, messages, or conversation partners, distinguishing between deploying one's own AI agent and interacting with another user's AI.

Why it matters

The rapid deployment of AI in user-facing platforms, particularly in sensitive domains like online dating, necessitates a clear understanding of user perception and receptivity. This research provides critical insights into how users react to machine-generated interactions, informing strategic decisions on AI integration, user experience design, and trust building.

Key insights

  • Autonomous conversational agents and generative-AI features are being rapidly integrated into online dating platforms.
  • There is a scarcity of public evidence concerning user attitudes towards these AI features, particularly from the receiving side.
  • The research focuses on user receptivity when encountering machine-generated content (profiles, messages, conversation partners) from others.
  • The study differentiates between user receptivity to deploying one's own AI agent versus encountering another user's AI agent.
  • Two anonymized survey datasets (N=2,617, Russian and English forms) were collected from active international users of Fledge.Love to measure receptivity.
