Popular dating app Bumble is on a mission to keep your matches real and authentic. They’re now tackling the secret use of AI-generated profile photos to ensure your next date is with a real person rather than just a cleverly crafted digital image. So, what’s new? Bumble has rolled out a feature that lets you report profiles you think are using AI to fake their photos. Why? Because according to a Bumble survey, 71 percent of Gen-Z and millennials want limits on AI-generated images and bios. They believe it’s catfishing when someone posts photos of places or activities they haven’t actually experienced. And let’s be honest, no one wants to be fooled by a fake skydiving photo.

Bumble’s VP of product Risa Stein had some strong words on this update: “Making room for meaningful connections means removing anything deceptive or dangerous. We’re committed to continually improving our technology to make Bumble a safe and trusted dating environment.”

But that’s not all! Bumble also has some other great AI tools to keep the experience authentic and safe:

Spam and scam detector: Launched earlier this year, this AI tool has proven to be a game-changer. It identifies spam, scams, and fake profiles. In just two months, reports of these troubling profiles have dropped by 45 percent! That means there are far fewer fake princes and mysterious millionaires on your match list.

Nude Image Blur: Have you ever been sent an unwanted nude photo? Bumble is for you. This feature blurs potential nude photos and alerts you before you see them. You can then decide to block or report the sender. It’s like a shield for your eyes!

Daily Match Curator: Based on your preferences and past matches, this AI-powered feature curates a set of four profiles for you daily. It’s like a personal matchmaker that knows your type, saves you time and effort and helps you find the perfect match.

Bumble is making sure that as the digital dating landscape evolves, it stays safe and real. Their responsible use of AI helps create a trustworthy community where you can find real connections. No more wasting time on AI-generated illusions.

So, the next time you swipe on Bumble, do so with confidence. This app will help you and ensure that your dating experience is as authentic as possible. Happy swiping!
