The Game Game by Tinder - A Flirting Partner

Tinder has launched The Game Game, an AI-powered, speech-to-speech experience designed to help users refine their flirting skills through interactive conversations with virtual personas. Rather than focusing on perfect pick-up lines, the experience aims to build confidence in handling real-life interactions.

Key Highlights

• The game leverages OpenAI’s Realtime API, GPT-4o, and GPT-4o mini to create dynamic, AI-driven conversations where users vocally engage with virtual characters.

• Designed to make flirting less intimidating, The Game Game throws users into playful, over-the-top scenarios inspired by rom-com meet-cutes. The goal is to help them embrace awkward moments with humor and authenticity.

• AI personas react instantly, evaluating users’ charm, engagement, and social awareness. Players receive scores on a three-flame scale and personalized feedback to improve their conversational skills.

• To encourage real-world interactions, users can access the game up to five times per day.

GPT-4.5 Wins Turing Test

Researchers at UC San Diego have shown that AI systems can now consistently pass Alan Turing’s classic test of machine intelligence, with OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 being mistaken for a human nearly 75% of the time in controlled trials.

• The Turing test, first proposed in 1950, evaluates whether a machine can convince human judges of its humanity through text-based conversations.

• The study used a three-party setup, where judges compared an AI and a human side by side in five-minute conversations to make direct assessments.

• Judges focused more on casual conversation and emotional cues rather than knowledge, with over 60% of discussions revolving around daily life and personal details.

• When adopting a specific persona, GPT-4.5 successfully fooled human judges 73% of the time, even surpassing real human participants.

• Meta’s LLaMa-3.1-405B also passed with a 56% success rate, while baseline models like GPT-4o only managed around 20%.

Therabot Talks, Minds Heal: AI Therapy Shows Real Results

Dartmouth researchers have conducted the first-ever clinical trial of an AI therapy chatbot, demonstrating care on par with "gold-standard cognitive therapy" and significant improvements in depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

Key Highlights :

• Therabot was trained in evidence-based therapeutic methods and included built-in crisis safety protocols, with oversight from mental health professionals.

• Participants used the smartphone-based chatbot for an average of six hours over the eight-week trial, equivalent to roughly eight traditional therapy sessions.

• The AI led to a 51% reduction in depression symptoms and a 31% reduction in anxiety, with users reporting high levels of trust and therapeutic connection.

• Many participants formed meaningful bonds with Therabot, communicating comfortably and consistently engaging with the chatbot—even without reminders.
