He used a version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to message women on Tinder, using the software to schedule dates, chat with potential dates and offer advice.
He said: ‘ChatGPT could interact with potential dates, using a database of information about me, like where I studied.
'It also helped me have a calendar, and helped me with a bot that suggested what to say. If I didn’t like it, I would write it myself.’
