AI Matchmaking Bets on Conversation Over Swipes

A wave of AI-powered dating apps like Fate in London is reshaping how people find partners by using an agentic AI that interviews users, proposes five matches (no swiping), and can coach conversations. Proponents say AI can highlight authentic compatibility based on personality similarity and reduce the repetitive grind of major platforms, while critics warn about privacy, overreliance on algorithms, and potential manipulation. Early users report dates and excitement, but industry research shows broad skepticism about AI guiding intimate conversations, reflecting a tension between novelty, vulnerability, and real-world results.

"Past Lives" Takes the Year's Best Romance to the Screen

"Past Lives," the debut feature film by writer-director Celine Song, is a masterpiece about fate, love, and heartbreak. The film follows the story of two childhood friends who reunite after years of separation and explores the Korean concept of "In-Yun," which suggests people consistently weaving in and out of each other's worlds over different centuries, different existences. Greta Lee's performance as Nora Moon is quietly monumental, and the film's devastating ending is one of the most memorable in recent cinema. "Past Lives" is almost assuredly predestined to be the single best movie you see this year.
