The Rise of AI ‘Chatfishing’ in Online Dating Poses a Modern Turing Test

SMRTR summary

"Chatfishing" is revolutionizing online dating deception, with people using AI tools like ChatGPT and wingman apps to craft messages for them rather than creating fake profiles. A Match survey found 26% of singles now use AI for dating enhancement, while studies show humans can only identify AI-written text 57% of the time. This creates a modern Turing test where potential matches unknowingly evaluate AI responses, often leading to engaging online conversations but disappointing real-world encounters.
