AI's Role In Relationship Progression

The AI not only filtered out undesirable matches but also engaged in small talk, arranged dates, and eventually assisted Zhadan in proposing to Karina. He installed specific filters to prioritize women with whom he should continue communicating in real life.

When Zhadan met Karina in person, he continued to use the AI platform to guide their correspondence. The neural network even provided suggestions on where to go and what to say in different situations.

AI's Proposal Recommendation

At the end of 2023, ChatGPT recommended that Zhadan propose to Karina, highlighting the strength and balance in their relationship.

Karina's Reaction

Karina was reportedly unaware of the AI's role in their relationship until after they submitted their applications to the registry office. Zhadan mentioned that she reacted calmly upon discovering the truth.

Zhadan believes it is possible to create a program to help others find their "ideal partner" by understanding the economic and integration aspects. He considers his AI-assisted matchmaking as a personal project.
