Irene, a 25-year-old analyst who relocated to San Francisco, encountered a distinct pattern while using the dating app Hinge to meet locals. During her swiping sessions, she repeatedly saw profiles on the “We’ll get along if” prompt where users explicitly stated they would not date someone who uses artificial intelligence. This sentiment appeared frequently among individuals working in creative fields such as graphic design, nursing, and the arts, transforming a technical preference into a primary relationship filter.
The incident highlights how personal convictions regarding generative technology are migrating from professional ethics to intimate relationships. For these users, the question of AI adoption is no longer a corporate policy debate but a criterion for romantic compatibility. The trend suggests that ethical boundaries around machine learning are becoming as significant as shared hobbies or location when people choose partners.
- Users working in creative industries are most likely to list AI aversion on their profiles.
- The specific phrase “Fuck AI” appears regularly on the “We’ll get along if” prompt.
- This preference emerged quickly after the user moved to a new city and began dating.
