AI chatfishing is the new trend in online dating

Technology Nov 05, 2025

AI is shaking up online dating with "chatfishing," where apps like ChatGPT help people craft smooth, instant replies in romantic conversations.
It's meant to make chatting easier and less stressful, but it also means you might not always be talking to the real person behind the screen.

How to spot a chatfisher

Apps like Rizz and Winggg are examples of dedicated "wingman" apps that generate AI responses, but watch out for messages that feel too perfect or someone who avoids meeting up.
While AI can make flirting less awkward, it also brings risks like scams or fake connections—so keep an eye out and aim to build real human connections whenever possible.
