Dating apps are the one place where an unrecognisable photo has an immediate cost. How to use AI for a dating profile without engineering a bad first date.
Dating photos are the hardest use of AI portraiture, and not for technical reasons. Every other application tolerates a flattering image. This one has a scheduled, in-person audit — and the person conducting it has already formed an expectation.
That makes the guidance unusually simple. AI is a good tool for a dating profile and a terrible tool for a better-looking you.
Not "it's a nice photo of me." Not "it's basically me." Recognisable, immediately, from ten feet away, by someone who has only seen your profile.
