JD Vance calls dating apps “destructive”

Dating apps will get a lot of flak lately. Daters chose face-to-face events (even dungeon bathtubs) and stayed away from adding AI features and applications that seem to be replicating each other.

Apparently, Vice President JD Vance also doesn’t like dating apps. In an interview New York TimesVance's “Fun Times” podcast talks about his “non-economic” issues with AI and technology. He told the master, era “If you study basic dating behaviors for young people, I think a lot of them are that dating apps may be more destructive than we fully appreciate.” (Vance met his wife Usha at law school.)

“I think part of the technology is just for some reason making it harder for young men and women to communicate the same way,” he continued. “Our young men and women just don't date, if they don't date, they don't get married, they don't open families.”

Regarding communication, Vance's criticism of long-term criticism of dating apps and social media. A recent survey found that one in eight adults in Generation Z will marry AI and the theory behind why AI is unjudgmented. However, social media users are largely highly critical. If a person suffers from social anxiety, online chat (a person or a bot) may be easier than in-person chat. Research shows that face-to-face interactions are unparalleled when connecting with others.

Vance also believes that AI can be “deeply dark and negative” – not in the absence of a job, but in the case of teenagers talking to chatbots. A new report from the nonprofit common sense media found that AI robots are not suitable for use under the age of 18 because they promote emotional attachment and dependence.

But, in terms of marriage and family, Vance does not involve the higher cost of living and inequality faced by Americans. He hasn't discussed the cost of parenting, let alone how much it costs to have a child in the United States, so no, dating apps aren't the only problem here.
