In a bid to keep the dating scene genuine, Bumble has rolled out a new feature allowing users to report profiles suspected of using AI-generated photos and videos.
This fresh option, introduced on Tuesday, aims to tackle the growing issue of AI-generated catfishing.
When reporting a profile, users can now select “Fake profile” and then choose “Using AI-generated photos or videos.” This joins other reporting options like inappropriate content, underage users, scams, and the use of someone else’s photos.
AI-generated images and videos have become a common tool for scammers, often creating misleading profiles. With just a few clicks, someone can present themselves as a yacht-owning, six-pack flaunting individual. Bumble hopes this new reporting feature will deter such disingenuous behaviour.

Risa Stein, Bumble’s vice president of product, emphasised the importance of authenticity: “An essential part of creating a space to build meaningful connections is removing any element that is misleading or dangerous. We are committed to continually improving our technology to ensure that Bumble is a safe and trusted dating environment.”
This new feature complements Bumble’s existing AI tool, “Deception Detector,” which has already reduced member reports of spam, scams, and fake profiles by 45% since its launch in February. Additionally, Bumble’s AI-powered “Private Detector” tool automatically blurs nude photos, further enhancing user safety.
Interestingly, Bumble’s founder, Whitney Wolfe Herd, envisions a future where AI “dating concierges” could go on dates on behalf of users to find the perfect match. While this idea might not appeal to everyone, it certainly showcases the potential of AI in revolutionising online dating.
So, while you’re busy making real connections in your industry, rest assured that Bumble is working hard to keep the dating world just as authentic. Cheers to genuine connections, both in business and in love!
