## Key points

- AI views are emerging as a dating compatibility issue.
- Some daters connect AI risks to choices about family and the future.
- Others say work and beliefs about AI matter little in romance.

## Summary

AI is becoming a point of compatibility in San Francisco’s dating scene, where some people reject it outright while others weigh a partner’s work in the industry against their beliefs about its risks. The debate affects conversations about relationships, children and long-term plans, as well as how people present themselves on dating profiles.

Views differ sharply: one young AI safety researcher says fears about the future make long-term planning difficult and give him pause about dating people at frontier AI companies. A worker at such a company says AI is largely irrelevant to romance, where personality and shared interests matter more. The article also describes people considering the financial benefits of an AI-sector partner, while some are turning to AI to manage their love lives.
