AI is all around us these days. It’s hard to escape the influence of this emerging technology. But can you imagine it taking over your love life? A woman planning a date with a promising Bumble match ended up with what appeared to be an AI-generated profile, leaving her in shock.

According to dailydot.com, TikTok creator Cas Jerome opened up about her experience of being trapped by AI while planning a date for herself. She shared a video on December 13, explaining that the profile of the man she was planning to date, raised red flags due to its overly smooth appearance.. The reason she felt that was that it had only one image and a short video, which appeared more realistic.

Jerome did not want to reveal the real identity of the profile whom she suspected to be AI-generated. She revealed in her video that the images appeared overly smooth, and the man’s appearance was inconsistent in all his photos. This raised her doubts.

To her surprise, the moment she shared this video, spilling some truth bombs, many TikTok users came forward to reveal facing similar situations on dating apps. Those users too encountered profiles that appeared AI-generated to them and expressed their concerns about the the growing amount of fraud on dating apps. Not just this, several users have even raised concerns about ChatGPT-generated messages on such apps.

Surprisingly, some users even revealed chatting and planning a date with profiles that are entirely managed by robots. Now, this is raising concerns for people trying to find genuine connections online.

Jerome’s post has gotten over 30,000 views on TikTok. She showed her date’s profile to a friend, only to be disappointed that the man appeared to have used AI to generate most of his photos.

In the video, Jerome told her friend, “I thought he had one of those faces where, like, you, like, turn it even, like, a millimeter, and he just, like, looks completely different. You know, those people, they just look different at every angle…But this. This was really weird.”

Jerome and her friend discussed that the way pictures have an overly smooth texture is proof that AI has generated them. In fact, the inconsistency in content and bizarre text phrasing, combined with the inability to follow a conversational thread, are all proof that the profile is AI-generated.

“At least I’m taking it well,” Jerome concluded.

Many users took to the comments section and revealed how they concluded that they were chatting with a bot instead of a human. One of them showed that when a man asked her what she does for a living, and when she replied ‘a book editor’, the response was, ‘Oh! I’ve never heard of that company.’ This completely looked AI-generated.

Well, it really doesn’t seem easy to find a match on a dating app these days, and it is the result of the world we are living in right now.
