People using AI chat to engage (manipulate?) on meet sites

This last year i have encountered a couple of guys using AI chat on meet/date sites to respond to my profile, and subsequently, my messages/emails. Only two that i know of. Which is telling. In each case, the guy got sloppy and left AI content that should have been substituted with their own personal touch (e.g. "sign your name here").
In each case i was both affirmed and disappointed. The responses were typically much more detailed, contained more emotion, than i typically experience with guys online. I.e., they were very (relatively?) engaging. i find that both frustrating and spooky. Each time, there was a tiny Horton Hears a Who voice, from deep within, telling me there was something... off. But the engaged parts of me were mostly deafened, or buffered, to a degree that i forged on. Until there was clear evidence that i was, essentially, opening up and falling for a machine? my response was to get (somewhat) educated on AI chat and i learned that a lot of people are pushing (and using?) AI chat, not to deceive, but to fill in for them? my first, and mostly ongoing response, is to think: "scammer." But i'm surprised at how good they were at finding and pushing my emotional buttons, which of course is the essence of scam/con. But i also wonder if there are legitimate people using this for variety of reasons, like feeling inadequate to express their self on their own, or just plain laziness? Or__________? i cannot think of a good reason for a legit person (on a 'dating' site) to use AI chat. To me, it's sort of like using someone else's picture. i'm a gay guy, and i easily get approached by scammers a couple of times a week on the sites i use. Most of them are pretty generic and easy to spot, but i've also noticed they are getting increasingly sophisticated, and AI is a newish and evolving tool that really complicates the process of trying to meet real people. Anyone else thinking about or encountering this? Thoughts? Responses? Ideas? |
