AI Wingmen on Dating Apps, The Psychology of Voice Pitch, and Rare Tupac Recordings for Sale

In this episode:

• AI bots are coming to dating apps to help users flirt and craft messages
• Scientists reveal how voice pitch changes based on social status
• Unreleased Tupac demo recordings are up for sale—but with a catch

The details:

Dating apps are rolling out AI wingmen to help users craft messages, pick the best profile photos, and even coach them on dating strategies. While some see this as a helpful tool, others worry it could remove the last bit of authenticity from online dating. Experts warn that those who rely too much on AI-generated conversations may struggle when it comes to actual face-to-face interactions.

Meanwhile, researchers have discovered that the way we speak shifts depending on who we’re talking to. Studies show that people tend to use a higher pitch when speaking to someone they perceive as higher status, while dominant individuals lower their voices. So if you notice someone talking to you in their Minnie Mouse voice, they might just think you're important.

And finally, rare early Tupac demo recordings from the early '90s are now up for sale for $250,000. The catch? The buyer won’t be able to release them publicly without permission from Tupac’s estate. While this might be a dream for collectors, it’s unclear if the music will ever see the light of day.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So dating apps are about to get more interesting. They're
adding AI wing men to help struggling users. So what
that means is there's gonna be AI bots on Hinge, Tinder,
all of your favorite dating apps to help you flirt
with people, craft messages so you can interact with these people.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
It'll even help you pick the right pictures and help you.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Fill out I was going to say, all this sounds great, right,
but then you get to go on the date and
then you're like, oh, I.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Do no, I hate them. I know I kind of
hate it too.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
I like AI for a lot of things, but I
don't like it for that because you're trying to like
gauge someone on their personality, how they are and if
you guys connect and if it's that, if they're saying
everything through AI, chances are they're not going to be
like that when you meet them.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's going to be hard for them to maintain that too.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I like the idea of having an AI bot like
help you pick out your picture or to help you,
you know, get your profile like set up, because maybe
you don't know how to highlight the best things about yourself.
But when it comes to the actual interaction with a
person like Jubiles saying like one hundred percent you need
to be here.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
You know what, AI stole your date. I'm still your girl.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Those robots really be wildent out there.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
But if you do go on a date and you
find the person start speaking to you in a high
pitched voice, that is a good thing. Maybe not just
on a date, but anywhere in life. Do you pay
attention to how people speak to you? If you notice
that they're speaking in a higher tone, that means that
they respect you and that they think that they're talking
to somebody that has a higher status than they are.
Really what, Yeah, so your pitch moves upwards when you

(01:43):
feel socially inferior.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Interesting, right, I don't know if that.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I don't know if I believe it.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I always try to pay attention to q's and all
that stuff, Like when I'm talking to pretty much anybody.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I've never noticed anybody speaking to me in a very
high tone. Though, Yeah, I don't either.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I do feel myself making that house All of a sudden,
You're like, hey, why are you doing that?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I know that I've talked higher After a few drinks,
but also sometimes on the air, like if I'm getting
worked up about something. So maybe because I'm not fully
like confident in my stance, but I'm trying to anyways.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I'm up here.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, that's usually what it happened.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Maybe that was trivia, that's about it. Oh that makes sense. Yeah,
that makes perfect sense.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Lacking confidence.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, so anyway, that's something to pay attention while you're
out there in the world communicating for real with real people.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, so put the apps down and go talk high
to people.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Or just knowing everybody's going to be really working hard
to make sure that they're speaking low. So and lastly,
I thought this was really interesting. It's just a moment
in pop culture. So does everybody in the room know
who Tupac is? Yes, kind of Okay, I just want
to make sure major hip hop artists from the nineties
early two thousands anyway, and he's passed. But Tupac had

(03:02):
recorded a bunch of music back in the nineties that's
now on sale for two hundred and fifty.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Thousand bos, so somebody can go out there and be like, Okay,
I'm going to go buy the rest.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Of his music for two hundred and two released, like
the rights to the vocals of those every Oh, that's
kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Actually if someone producer buys it and makes you know.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Wow, yeah yeah, Well, I mean if you think about it,
and who wouldn't want to do that because you're gonna
make crazy money. Except the catch is that you have
to have permission from Tupac's of state, and it's not
looking like you're going to get that anytime soon, permission
from two state to do what release the music? So
you could you can buy it, but you can release
it exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
You can just listen to it yourself. There's always a
catch with a discount.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Two thirty thousand dollars sounded cheap, and that's why it's
because they're just getting two or thwy thousand dollars from you.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
So you can sit in a room somewhere the music
and if it's the right person, if you're Tupac's of state,
like who would you feel comfortable buying that music and
re releasing it? Like there's got to be somebody that
you're like Taylor Swift, it was Iaylor the feature.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
It was like Taylor's featuring Tupac, Tupac featuring Taylor Swift,
and she you know, like Tubac on all of her
tracks that I would be definitely down for that.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, And that is what's treading
