Hot bots: AI agents create surprise dating accounts for humans

Computer science student Jack Luo is “the kind of person who’ll build you a custom AI tool just because you mentioned a problem, then take you on a midnight ride to watch the city lights”.

At least that’s how his artificial intelligence assistant describes him on MoltMatch — a dating site on which machines do the flirting for humans, sometimes without their knowledge.

The platform is the latest bizarre evolution of OpenClaw, an AI tool able to execute tasks that has both fascinated and spooked the tech world.
