Word of the year: DISCERNMENT❤️✨
So here’s a little “AI scam” story from my recent adventures in the wild world of online dating.🙈
I set up a profile just to test the waters, and sure enough, I stumbled upon someone who seemed too good to be true.
Spoiler: He was.💥
This “sales manager”, single dad, with a magazine-cover smile claimed he’d just moved to Slovenia for business.
He named the company (which actually exists), a place he was staying (which also exist) and started sending me photos from his personal life (that i didn’t even ask for).
He was not acting as a common “dating app creep”. There was no “Hey check out my 🍆” or other uncomfortable topics. He was very sophisticated and nice.
We had a smooth chat, eventually exchange whatsapp numbers, and yet every instinct in me said,
“This is too perfect.”
I simply knew something was off.
But i was playing along, because I was kind of curious how far it can go.
His texts and photos and videos) were a little too polished (single and probably non-single cougars🐯 would go wild on TikTok or IG if he would show up there😃), his story had those AI-esque vibes, and when I suggested a simple video call, he dodged like a pro.
Not only that. Sometimes I have asked the same questions that I knew will confuse him and sure enough, he gave me different answers – 10 line answer in 0,5 second.😵💫
I knew my bullshit radar wasn’t lying.🥷
Long story short: he was either a bot or someone leaning heavily on AI to catfish.
I blocked him, deleted chat, and moved on with a little smirk. Oh yeah. And btw, you are not gonna find my profile on dating app anymore.🙂
After this “incident” I actually got a call from “his” number around midnight (2 nights in a row) but I just ignored it.
Why am I sharing this?
Because whether you’re navigating dating apps or business deals, the same rule applies: trust your gut, use your discernment, and stay connected to your heart.
Not everything that shines is gold – or a real human.
Stay safe out there.❤️
P. S. Did something similar happen to you too?🤔
Share your AI-scam story in comment and let’s hold space for all of us to use our inner GPS as much as possible. 🙏
These are wild times we are in and we need to remind each other that we have power to play this game without extra pain.🦄
Love you all!✨
