A dating app for literal monsters exposes the bias in our swipes
Two game developer has created an online dating simulator to reveal some of the shortcomings in the matching algorithms that are used by the most popular apps. The app is called MonsterMatch.
In the app, players create their own mythical creature and configure all aspects of the character such as body type, facial features, and name.
Like most dating apps, users swipe left and right before engaging in conversation with their matches. However, the text will appear on the screen explaining how the action affects what the algorithm will show later on. For example, what characteristics will be hidden in the future.
This process is known as “collaborative filtering” and can be found in many different digital platforms such as music and video streaming. It has been criticized for excluding large groups of people because of the small amount of user input.
