Wolfe Herd: Bumble will never build virtual AI romance companion products
“No, not under my leadership, at least. Listen, I, that's not what we are here to do. We are definitely not in the business of trying to wipe out humanity and trying to get people to fall in love with, you know, fake iterations of humans. I don't want to use AI…”

Wolfe Herd: 50 successful matches drive more growth than thousands failing
