But those “struggling users” who may be lacking in social skills, and begin to rely on AI assistants to craft conversations for them, may have difficulty once they arrive on real-life dates, without the use of their phone to help them converse. This could lead to anxiety and further retreat into the comfort of the digital space

That's the point. Match.com is not interested in finding you the perfect match. They only want to drip-feed you enough real-looking stuff to keep you subscribed.
