Twitter users are calling on Elon Musk to develop an AI-powered dating app called “Twinder,” touted as the way “to save humanity from extinction.”
The idea came after Musk replied “population collapse” to a tweet showing how fertility rates continue to fall in the Nordic countries.
The potential dating app, which Twitter’s CEO thought was an “interesting idea,” would use artificial intelligence to make matches instead of swiping at random.
The proposed service would feed AI Twitter accounts, including posts, comments and likes, and the technology would search for another user with similar behavior and interests.
The Twitter thread, which has been viewed more than two million times, has hundreds of comments, some of which talk about how they met their partner on the social network.
The dating app pitch came from content creator Steven Mark Ryan, a YouTuber who posts videos on tech and financial news. The idea came after Musk replied “population collapse” to a tweet showing how fertility rates continue to fall in the Nordic countries

When twitter dating app? Could actually save humanity from extinction. Not even kidding. Very low hanging fruit. By the way…. the EVERYTHING App right? Ryan tweeted.
The post caught the attention of Kristen Ruby, president of Ruby Media Group and AI and social media analyst, who shared that she pitched the idea in April by tweeting, “Cool story Steven.”
Ruby’s tweet from April describes how Musk could design a dating app, as she suggested using AI.
“@elonmusk could even make the most intelligent AI dating app on the market due to the sheer amount of data collected on users,” she tweeted.
“The matches would be based on data and AI rather than random swipes. It makes perfect sense to me, I see the vision clearly.
“He’d be crazy if he didn’t make what I’ve put up.”
Musk said it would work for hiring, but this idea did not go down well with users.

One user replied, “As soon as people know Twitter is being used for recruiting, they start checking their behavior and before you know it we’ll have a different LinkedIn.”
Ryan’s post was also received by people sharing how they met their partner on Twitter.
A user named Pope of Muskanity shared that he met his wife of five years on Twitter and posted a photo of them on their wedding day.
It’s not clear whether Musk will move forward with Twinder, but social media platforms launching a dating app are done — and not successfully.

Facebook launched a service in 2019 hoping to give its users a fairytale ending, but it immediately turned into tragedy.
It was only a few weeks after the matchmaking feature launched and users were already flocking to Twitter to share their not-so-positive experiences.
“Man you thought tinder was full of ratchets wait till you see Facebook Dating,” writes @danlacewell.
Facebook Dating does not require users to “match” before connecting.
Instead, participants can browse profiles through a familiar card-style cue and interact with those that interest them.
Another Twitter user said, “So the Facebook dating app is like Tinder, but 5% less annoying.”
And one user shared photos of those they “liked,” most notably David, who appears to be holding his shirt up to show off a gun tattoo on his stomach.
However, it seems that things have improved on Facebook Dating since its launch in 2019.
After being online for less than two years, Facebook Dating claimed to have made more than 1.5 billion matches 20 countries.
To put that in perspective, Tinder has created 55 billion matches within eight years.
