Abstract

What if the person you're dating is a Generative Al profile? As we increasingly bring Al into not only our workflows but also into our personal lives, we blur the boundary of us and our digital analogues. CARBON COPY is a fake dating app that explores the inner relationship between human and machine-generated human content. We generated artificial profiles for a website through sending data from a real social app to the language model ChatGPT, and created profile images using the publicly available OpenAl platform DALL-E2.Visitors interact with these dating profiles by rating them, reading their machine-generated text, and texting them in interaction with a custom prompted ChatGPT model. In observing how people view these potential fake partners, we probe how we use technology to fulfill our emotional needs, changing the innate desire for humans to connect into a technology- mediated interaction with the unreal.
