Can ChatGPT help you find love? No. Can you use ChatGPT to help you start a conversation and guide you through the small talk? Yes, but at a price...

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot designed to answer your questions and help you with tasks, is officially taking over the world!

I wanted to see if ChatGPT could land me a date, so I hopped onto Bumble (because I'm afraid of Tinder) and started consulting my Al love guru. Surprisingly, it wasn't a complete catastrophe. It actually worked.
