"With more pressure than ever to make a first good impression with a potential love match, people are creating a personality for themselves using ChatGPT while messaging online"
"And unfortunately, it may have become even harder to find a genuine match thanks to the rise of 'chatfishing'."
"This is when a person uses ChatGPT and AI to create witty banter and conversational ice-breakers to attract a potential love interest."
Online dating has grown more difficult as people feel increased pressure to make strong first impressions. Many users leverage ChatGPT and other AI to construct personalities and craft messages during online conversations. AI-generated replies produce witty banter and conversational ice-breakers aimed at attracting interest. Existing behaviors like ghosting, breadcrumbing, and zombieing already undermine authentic connection. The emergence of 'chatfishing' further reduces transparency by enabling people to present AI-shaped personas rather than their true selves. The use of AI in messaging can make discerning genuine intent and forming real matches significantly harder.
