A new application on the Bumble dating app filters out any user an old, nostalgic Southern woman wouldn't consider a "hard to find good man."
There are still some kinks to iron out, but software developers say they are attempting to pinpoint exactly what would make a man be considered "trustworthy."
For example, a good man wouldn't "shoot an old lady," but perhaps a good man might "kill his father," said one Bumble developer.
"Essentially, it's all about matching someone's values with another, even though "good" might not always mean "moral" or “kind."'
The new filter comes as a response to a recent survey where customers have complained about the dishonest nature of some users.
“Bumble users are looking for commitment and empowered connections, not casual hookups” he continued. “The new platform will survey and screen a user based on several scenarios, rating them on their integrity or innate “goodness.”’
One question asks if users have ever stolen gas on credit or if they have ever accidentally eaten a watermelon off of somebody else’s porch.
While it might sound difficult to examine and sift through these gray areas, developers promise that basic AI can understand that a racist comment here or there is not as bad as disrespecting your elders or cursing in front of a proper lady who wears a nice dress or hat with flowers.
"Essentially, it's all about matching someone's values with another, even though "good" might not always mean "moral" or “kind."'
Editor's Note: Bumble refused to comment on how an escaped convict known as the Misfit used the app to lure and brutally murder old women during his escape to Florida.
