PIC: This Tinder Profile Is Fooling Thousands Of Potential Love Interests…

It’s the Tinder dream. You’re sitting there, flicking through the app when you spot someone you find attractive. You swipe right and then by some miracle, you’ve a new match on Tinder. That was the fate for a fair few men, try thousands, who matched with 25-year old Ava at SXSW this week. According to AdWeek, Ava was the girl of many men’s dreams, and when one man Brock made a connection with the girl, he was thrilled to find they actually started talking: For Brock, the conversation couldn’t go any better… until this happened: When Brock checked out Ava’s Instagram profile there was a problem… There was only one picture on the profile. For a film’s US premiere taking place at the SXSW festival in Austin that evening:

If you've created a conscious machine, it's not the history of man. It's the history of Gods. @exmachinamovie premieres TONIGHT at @SXSW.

The marketing stunt was all a ploy to get people talking about the new ex-Machina film. Similar to Brock’s tale, the film follows a young coder who’s selected to take part in an experiment in artificial intelligence by evaluating the human qualities of a beautiful love machine called Ava. And the profile picture? Well that’s the Swedish actress Alicia Vikander who plays Ava in the film. Ok, it’s a little harsh… but it’s definitely one way to drum up some attention for a new film.
