Conditional_Lover

Tech art piece by Saurabh Datta employs robotics and computer vision to analyse Tinder profiles, outputing the results onto a Tumblr blog:

This piece is an “interpretation” over a belief that all those tasks which doesn’t need human dexterity will eventually be delegated to machines. And following up on the morphosis of AI and software bots, really a question of agency remains blurry.

This is a bot, unlike a software bot which lives hidden in servers. Contrarily it is spacey in nature who analyses and tries to automate your tinder (in China we have Tan Tan) .

The bot analyses the pictures on the profile from the phones screen with a camera, just like a human being with his eyes and then selects or rejects with the two prongs like the humans do it with their fingers (Not trying to hack around with tan tan’s API because humans don’t hack API to like a person- generally. But there has been incidents). But no where near it looks like a human.

You select your preferences like age, golden ratio, smile, glasses, ethnicity etc. It takes those as conditions set by you and performs actions based on the extracted information from the images of girls. It is intentionally enabled not to learn but just to act.
