While AI can be a helpful dating tool, it can also be leveraged to create convincing fake profiles, generate realistic images and craft messages that seem authentic, making it difficult for people to distinguish real from fake. This rise in suspicious profiles and scams underscores the need for caution. Common red flags include people who avoid video or phone calls, profiles with inconsistencies between their bio and their messages or attempts to rush emotional connection or push for personal details too quickly.
Scams aren't just getting more sophisticated; they're happening more often too. As the adoption of AI becomes more widespread and scammers target dating apps for their schemes, Norton is leading the charge in educating and protecting people so they can more safely navigate online dating. Norton Genie, a free AI-powered scam detection app, can review texts, emails or web links, including those that direct people to fake dating sites or links from dating app matches, and confirm if it's malicious.
