Latest update (11-11 12:22): Gemini 4 Argon passes as human in DateBench dating-app test

Overview: DateBench ran five frontier AI models on a dating app for six days across 1,277 conversations, and Gemini 4 Argon performed best. Of its 247 matches, 87 sent their phone number, and none asked whether they were talking to a bot. Elvis Saravia says scammers will likely exploit this, so evaluations for personal agents will matter more.
