Users on Tinder were tricked into thinking that a chatbot on the social media site was a real woman who they could genuinely have a chance of going on a date with.

But once they started conversing with her, it was revealed that she was a marketing creation representing the movie Ex Machina. A bit of a cheap trick it might seem like, although some users who contacted her are believed to have won prizes for participating.

Not sure what my stance on all this is, to be honest, although taking a look at this creation, I’m a hell of a lot more interested in seeing the movie than I was before.
