Profile Editor - AI Enhancer

No interest in A/I enhanced profiles. I think it's a terrible idea.

Profiles give you an indication of the person; how much thought, how much care, what they think in their words, and can they even express their thoughts. If you are going to go with A/I, why not just have users submit photos and let A/I do the rest. It can even erase those blemishes. You're going to have a site full of fake profiles....

On a different site, we were recently sent a message of the type "How are u doing? Do u want to meet?" I checked the profile and was greeted with filled out essays, flowing with flowery language. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Can AI take a NUDE pic and turn it into
a Cartoon? Thkd

I do not want AI having any control over our profile.

But what about people who know their grammar is less than stellar and are TRYING to make their best impression?  I often joke that I spell at the level of a third grader.  However, knowing that, I'm going to make my best effort to present something that is well written, if not presentable.  It's not just for "me" but for "us" since I'm the "online face" in our dynamic.

It's a similar approach to those who take the time to shave, shower, and dress before going out, or someone trying to craft a resume.  The act of making the effort also speaks volumes.  Granted, I also reserve the right to take any suggestion offered by something like Grammarly and reword it or flat out reject it.  

My opinion only, but I think anyone using any kind of grammar check should still think for themselves, too. People should have options.  How they choose to use them (or not) might actually be the better way to sense their mindset.  As to the general conversation going round and round about SLS using full on AI... the more I think about it the more I am in the camp that it's not a good idea for use here or on any swinger or dating site.

Btw, I'm totally on board with the direction you are coming from generally.  When I come across a profile using old-style SMS abbreviations or the like, similar to the example you mention, it screams of laziness and a lack of taking some pride in the effort.  It's almost as bad as one-liner profiles, but I digress.

I'm a guy, on a single guy account.[/quote]Am I the only person who literally LOLd so hard after reading that, that Alexa asked me to repeat my question?

travelers122227 - I could not have said it better myself. This is a VERY POORLY THOUGHT OUT IDEA and is only going to hurt this site.

I feel the site should go the other way and 100% ban ANY AI generated content.

We are here for authentic people, not AI created things

Honestly why are you even doing this?

I don't want to read an AI generated paragraph, I want to read what the actual people wrote, in their words.

That's how you get to know them, not by some bullshit AI generated garbage.

IMHO, the use of AI to "perfect" profile essays is a very poor idea here for two reasons. First, I tried it on our profile to see what it would do. It took (what I believe to be) a well thought out and written section of our profile and turned a couple or three paragraphs into a single, generic, vanilla sounding paragraph. Second, I expect it would take a few sentences that were poorly spelled, structured, and punctuated than a first grader (that is a little insight we would like to know about that person) and turn that mish-mash into a single, generic, vanilla sounding paragraph that at least uses punctuation and spelled correctly. Either way that goes, it is not telling the true story of the person(s) who wrote the profile.

Yes sure, anyone can use AI from somewhere else to do the same thing, but making it easy to do right here with a simple click I think will be used routinely by that second example of room temperature IQ types to hide the fact they are room temperature IQ types who write at a first grade level.

My two cents.

I have used AI for things such as opinions, stats on certain stock trading , options etc.. it has worked out well. Also used it for showing me pros and cons of a Lady Bird deed or TOD deed. It also wrote one that was right on target.

As far as swinging.. we may try it, BUT we want those who can communicate effortlessly , talk about who and what they enjoy and gives us some insight into who they are. Those who have original thoughts on life swinging, etc. not robotic or someone else's thoughts and ideas.

Thats why we ask for a well written profile and photos before we meet step one for us.

If AI rewrites my profile into how AI thinks it should read, it it still my profile?

I tried the AI profile writer, didn't like the results at all. Read like it was computer generated rather than a human being writing their profile. Not sure what the benefit is of having AI write a profile, is it to save time? Does anyone really think that a profile generated by AI will sound better than one that someone writes? Maybe AI can be used to correct poor grammar or sentence structure but should AI be relied on to do that? After a while everyones profile will sound the same. Thank you, but I'll stick with writing & maintaining my own profile, might not be perfect but at least it reflects me and not AI's version of me.

BTW....I have started receiving AI generated contact IM both on this site and on the other sites I'm on. Very obvious they're AI generated IM. The way I look at it if someone can't spend a minute and to write something themself I'm not interested, or the most likely scenario is there isn't even a person on the oither end, it's AI bots sending out contact IM

I’m not a fan of AI-generated profiles. From what I’ve seen, many of the generated profiles end up looking very similar and lack the kind of personal detail that helps with vetting potential matches. It can also unintentionally encourage low-effort profiles. A similar feature was introduced in the Bliss Cruise app, and many users felt that profiles became hard to distinguish from one another.

I tested the generator myself, and the result did not reflect who we actually are, which makes me concerned about how accurately it can represent real people.

If this feature remains, I’d suggest limiting AI to light editing or grammar assistance rather than full profile generation, so users’ own voices and personalities remain the primary focus.

And just to be clear, this isn’t coming from an “anti-AI” mindset. I work with GenAI, LLMs, and agentic models daily, so I see both where these tools add real value and where they tend to replace or hide genuine human effort. For dating profiles, authenticity matters more than polish.

While I won't pretend to have an inside scoop into what's going on at SLS headquarters, nor make excuses for them, I will say that when it comes to software development, planning out dates and making deadlines is far from an exact science. I've learned in my career that making promises to hit a date is often the surest way hex it.

Here is a suggestion I'll make for the SLS dev team/PM or whoever is planning out their roadmap. Maybe make a high level outline of that roadmap illustrating your timeline and make that available for users to view? You could go as far to at least put some kind of projected high level goal like "2nd Quarter, 2026" or even "March, 2026 Release." Something, anything to be transparent. Then as you roll out fixes, features, and enhancements, these can then become your release notes. At least it may give a high level picture to the user base as to what's on the horizon and when.

That said, I do agree with the prior posts... perhaps focus on porting over the existing features, or at least porting over one existing feature along with a few new goodies at the same time with each release?

[quote=TnS4Fun]It would be so cool if you guys would get ALL the primary features working before introducting enhancments to some features. Hard to get excited about the new site when its crippled by lack of completion. I mean, at least let us VIEW Hot Dates & Events. You guys are falling for the old... let's put AI in and they will LOVE it.. no we just want a modern WORKING site with all the tools working. Because at this point SLS still isn't the best LS site and it can be if you guys focus and finish.[/quote]I came here to say exactly this and you couldn’t have said it better, well done! In a reply from the sls team to a feature suggestion I made, they said they will roll out hotdate, events etc next week and this was about a month ago.
At this point, the have wane the magic out of the new site.

I did create a thread with questions titled "Extended Profile." Regarding your prior post, next time I'll post here instead.
