A 'scary' new weapon on the battlefield of love: Would you let a machine pick your partner?

Americans shared if they would let the AI dating website Keeper set them up on blind date. The website asks users a list of questions before matching them.

New Yorkers revealed whether they would let an artificial intelligence-based program set them up on a date.

"Would I ever do it? If got desperate, but I hope it would never get to that point," Nick, from New York, told Fox News.

Keeper, a dating website, uses an AI system to match singles after having them fill out a survey asking questions about their personality and what they look for in a partner.

"I don't know how much I trust AI," Sergio, from New Jersey, said. "I don't think it really gets people."

"People aren't computers," he continued. "You could put something on an application, but you can only put so much."

But others were eager to try an AI dating website.

"AI does all this other stuff. Matchmaking? Why not?" another New Yorker, Calvin, said.

Ethan, from New Jersey, didn't think AI could replace what he saw as essential factors in meeting eligible singles.

"Being face to face and being able to have a conversation with them, and not just artificial technology setting you up — there's a lot more connection there," Ethan told Fox News.

Nick felt an AI matchmaker could help people with busy schedules.

"I could see people being interested in it," Nick said. "If you don't have a lot of time, it’d just be one less thing to think about."
