In the Digital Technology Age, artificial intelligence is increasingly being introduced into the sphere of online dating, offering users new tools to increase the chances of successful communication and search for a partner. One of the latest innovations is the application that evaluates photos of profiles and tells which picture will be the most attractive on dating platforms.
With an increase in the popularity of online dating, various companies began to use AI to increase safety, identifying fraudulent accounts and fake profiles. In addition, services have appeared that can select partners based on the analysis of persons, as well as applications that generate witty phrases for acquaintance.
In this context, the issue of choosing the perfect image of the profile is of particular importance because it often becomes a determining factor before swiping left or right. There are many tips on the network on how to create an attractive photo, but now AI has also connected to solve such a problem.
Specialists of Cybernews conducted an experiment with an application called firstpic.ai, which can evaluate photos with the help of AI trained on tens of thousands of images. FIRSTPIC.AI analyzes what features make photos successful on dating platforms, giving an assessment and comparing your picture with others.
In this case, the issues of confidentiality arise since it is not clear whether uploaded photos are preserved for further training of the model. The creators of the application do not disclose by what criteria AI evaluate images, which causes fears about bias and standards of beauty.
The experience of using the application showed that a smile and clear visibility of the face have a significant impact on the assessment, while pictures in the company and selfies are evaluated below. Developers explain, which is also important in the photograph of the profile:
- Images have good lighting and a clear focus;
- You smile and look into the camera;
- The photo shows the whole body;
- Bright background instead of dull walls;
- In the picture, there is a demonstration of your hobbies, a hobby.
In the end, despite possible fears, the use of AI to choose a photo of the profile can become an interesting experiment, although it will not replace common sense when selecting the perfect image for online dating.
