Swipe left! AI-generated bots proliferate online dating space

A recent survey conducted by cybersecurity firm McAfee reveals that scammers are increasingly using AI-generated bots to deceive users on dating websites, with 26% of Indians encountering AI-generated bots instead of real people. The study also found that 39% of Indians engaging in conversations with potential love interests online were actually interacting with scammers. McAfee warns that AI tools enable scammers to create convincing profiles and messages, leading to an increase in romance scams and catfishing. Furthermore, the survey shows that while 56% of Indians plan to use AI to write messages for their love interests, 60% would be hurt or offended if they found out their Valentine's message was AI-generated.
