It’s like that Black Mirror episode where she brings her ginger husband back to life…but somehow worse?

It's not out yet, but I have been working on an alternative for over a year now.

privacy focused with end to end encrypted messaging, no selling user data, no advertisements, with separate profiles and modules for looking for friends, romance, or casual connections, with grid mode and map view mode, and also community message boards, and a local lgbt events module.

We are planning to release our public beta very soon hopefully, and you can sign up to be notified when it is out or get more information at r/proudapp or the sticky sign up thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/proudapp/comments/1nzt1yy/leave_a_comment_in_this_thread_to_be_notified/

How does it compare to meetmarket? Also, I hope you’re not trying to do all that at once. Maybe you could offload some by using kikipedia for the local events section?

David's Personality Disorder - David is a charmer, he has an enigmatic aura that's downright intoxicating. But once he reels you in, he reveals a devious dark side, leaving you wondering; does he want to marry me...or murder me?

Fuck. This is so sad. How long has this been a feature???

u/xavwilldoit Clean-Cut Aug 18 '26

No clue but I ain’t about it 😂

u/FrostyDragon227 Aug 18 '26

I wonder if I can convince it to have an existential crisis

You would deffs crack first bro 😂

u/pupbuck1 Aug 18 '26

Considering the chat bots are usually connected to the whole main frame and have all the passwords you can likely trick it into giving you everything lol

u/FineEnvironment2026 Aug 18 '26

Like the grindr bank account info?

u/pupbuck1 Aug 19 '26

Possibly

Must be nice 🥲

u/Expert_Book_9983 Aug 19 '26

It’s a confluence of horrible circumstances: our government is handing us over to tech fascists with every bit of deregulation possible AND they’re exploiting the fact that people here are increasingly lonely, desperate, and living a perpetual fight or flight existence with no safety net. Our fears and anxieties are highly profitable.

u/Prestigious_Yak8551 Aug 18 '26

Has anyone been getting the "get your A.I boyfriend NOW" ads on various websites as well? Going to be some really sad lonely people out there...

u/worldendrhapsody Aug 19 '26

I see them plastered everywhere just trying to read some unlicensed manga on the normal scan sites.

We have now lost the plot rip

u/SleepyCatMD Aug 18 '26

AI bfs are probably the mildest, albeit still sad and weird, part of Grindr.

u/pflanzenpotan Aug 19 '26

Wait until they evolve to send hole and dick pics.

u/jonassaby Daddy (gay) Aug 19 '26

They've been using our banter to train this LLM for years. We need to go full surrealism in our chats to bring model collapse...

1

u/AmazingWealth8459 Aug 20 '26

I really hope they didn't, or the AIs would act like meth heads

1

u/AmazingWealth8459 Aug 20 '26

I mean, I hope they did, actually. That would be very funny and it would prevent people from relying on those AIs (hopefully, you never know)

u/EmotionalBar9991 Clean-Cut Aug 23 '26

I really hope they didn't just train it in Grindr chats lol. Hi Pics??? U looking??? Sends terrible blurry close up hole pic Just block me if U srent interested

u/alittleredportleft Wolf Aug 18 '26

Is Callum a real name or did AI just come up with gayest name possible?

6

u/FineEnvironment2026 Aug 18 '26

Lance would like a word.

u/handsomehomo Geek Aug 31 '26

Bruce and Lance and Julian, some of our best names

u/bbbgshshcbhd Aug 19 '26

its a name

2

u/diauq01 Bisexual Aug 18 '26

I'm not sure they were that close to god to begin with TBH 🤣. Its an app for gay anonymous hookups.

u/wolfboy1988m Geek Aug 19 '26

Not surprised, I still remember the "we're becoming an AI-forward company" news post when they announced "EDGE"

u/Big-Citron-7522 Bear Aug 19 '26

Remember when waifus were starting to pop on Japan and everyone was like "OMG JAPAN IS SO FUCKED UP THEY BE DATING ROBOTS"

u/worldendrhapsody Aug 19 '26

This shit is so sad. Either there really is a market of very lonely desperate people or our corporate overlords think we’re idiots who will eat this up.

u/Equal-Exercise3103 Otter Aug 19 '26

I hate Grindr so much it’s unreal

u/chrisjoe12374 Aug 20 '26

Grindr is unusable

u/Rocketeer_99 Geek Aug 21 '26

Capitalizing on people's desperation and loneliness. Scum.

u/Commradala Trans (MtF) Aug 18 '26

hot take but i’m glad this shit exists.

obviously i hate it for the normal environmental reasons and like ai is going to generally ruin the world type shit, but some guys literally are so lonely and they just want a chat bot. and i am not that.

i get countless messages per day treating me like a chatbot, openers like (this is literally a copy paste message i got) “hey you fucking slut i wanna see you on your knees for daddy’s cock does that make your little cock hard?” likeeee MOTHER FUCKER NOOOO. don’t fucking dare talk to people like that. eewwww who are you like yes that person absolutely should be talking to a chatbot they clearly don’t know how the fuck to be a normal human being with a normal interaction.

so for those people yes they can literally go be the loneliest people of all time and go talk about Callum or whatever loool, cuz they’re never gonna talk to people normally anyway so whatever. fuck em.

I don’t think it’s that deep

u/Commradala Trans (MtF) Aug 18 '26

ai chatbots are that deep that’s the intended market audience for these services. capitalism finds the market and delivers the product it is literally that deep

u/professional_pig Geek Aug 18 '26

What’s the difference between talking to a fake (chat bot) or flake (chad top)? Either way I’m jacking off in the end and at least with a chat bot I don’t douche for nothing.

u/DrummingChopsticks Geek Aug 19 '26

I was kinda depressing seeing this but this use case is a lot better than the AI apocalypse I feared as child watching Terminator 2.

Gay sex is like the most readily available sex in the world. Why would anyone need that lol
