So, we may not have cars that fly yet, but thanks to AI technology, it seems like we can create our own perfect match! If you are yet to find your perfect match, then this new BuzzFeed quiz that promises to 'create your perfect boyfriend or girlfriend using AI technology is the one for you!

Warning, the results may be hilarious!

Director of the quiz, Chris Johanesen, says he hopes the quiz will become a series designed to 'poke fun at the situation, we are all currently in (quarantine), as well as the weird world of online dating.

Stacey and J Sbu were willing to be guinea pigs for the experiment, as the duo both have shared their personal lives could do with a little excitement. Since they are not winning at finding their perfect match, why not not let technology lead them, right?

So, how does the quiz work?

To take the quiz, you answer a series of multiple-choices questions about what you’re looking for in your ideal romantic partner.

Director, Chris explains that the BuzzFeed team generated an enormous variety of different profile images using Style Gan technology. For the text, BuzzFeed staff contributed personality traits, text messages quotes, hobbies, and “weird, dark stuff” that the quiz combines algorithmically.

Hectic!
