Avast Reveals ‘LoveGPT’: AI-Driven Catfishing Poses a New Threat in Dating Apps

The Dark Side of AI: Deceptive Chatbots Make Finding Love More Challenging

While the concept of catfishing is far from new, this latest rendition of the scam has been around for over a decade. However, LoveGPT’s integration with OpenAI has elevated it to a new level of sophistication. Distinguishing between a real person and a bot in the world of dating apps has become an increasingly complex task.

Several popular dating apps have fallen victim to this AI-driven deception, including Ashley Madison, Badoo, Bumble, Craigslist, DuyenSo, Facebook Dating, likeyou.vn, MeetMe, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Tagged, Tinder, and Zoosk. LoveGPT’s ability to mimic human interaction is compounded by the common advice for users to maintain their communications within the app for safety reasons, making it even more challenging to ascertain the true nature of their potential match.
