The 'Black Mirror' of dating apps takes California colleges by storm
Briefly

Ditto AI aims to simplify dating for university students at UC Berkeley and UCSD by minimizing predate planning. Users only need to create a profile while AI takes care of matching, location, and timing. Co-founder Allen Wang highlights that traditional apps leave people trapped in endless swiping, sidelining authentic connections. This incarnation of dating takes inspiration from the "Black Mirror" episode "Hang the DJ," wherein AI simulates multiple dates to gauge compatibility. By using Ditto, users receive matched dates, conversation topics, and location suggestions, promoting a more streamlined dating experience.
"People are trapped in [dating apps] instead of going out there and actually contacting in real life, personal connections," Allen Wang, who co-founded Ditto, said.
Ditto, like the "Black Mirror" episode, claims to use AI to run 1,000 possible dates, each with a different match, to generate the most optimal pairing.
