Tinder takes action against AI profiles by making users scan eyes for “proof of humanity"

They will end up selling that data to AI companies to make better fake profiles. And governments.

I wouldn't scan shit for any reason

It might prove they're human but will it prove they're the person in (most of) the profile photos? Otherwise this is just verifying that you're being scammed by a human being instead of artificial intelligence.

What level of dystopian nightmare is this?

Nice way to steal biometric data.

They should do a full Voight-Kampff test

I'll do anything for love but I won't do that

This is an interesting way to say “Tinder wants your personal biometric data for profit reasons.”

Saw a fascinating [YouTube video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rjxAYdUe8uU&t=932s&pp=ygUTVGluZGVyIHJvbWFuY2Ugc2NhbQ%3D%3D) about romance scammers on Tinder. OP's buddy mentions that they keep matching with profiles that all conform to a weirdly similar pattern: attractive Caucasian male in his late 30s to early 40s, looking for a long term relationship, sporting a profile that seems very authentic, Verified badge, and the last photo on their profile is a piece of art that's been edited to incorporate the face of an Asian person. The art was always different, sometimes a painting, sometimes a sculpture, sometimes an oddly cropped billboard. Tinder has the option to take a short video of your face, which their algorithm will then compare to your profile pictures and grant your profile a Verified badge if the video and one of the pictures match. What OP determined was that these profiles were being operated by romance scammers in East Asia, who'd quickly try to move the conversation to WhatsApp and start talking about crypto. The photos were real, but not made by the person operating the profile; he was able to reverse image search the real Facebook and Instagram accounts they'd been taken from. That last photo was the scammer's real face and where the Verified badge was coming from (you only need 1 picture to match to get the badge), disguised in different pieces of art to make the pattern harder to spot. If the person messaging them mentioned that photo, they'd change the subject, and if they kept asking about it, they'd know that this one isn't a mark and stop messaging/block them.

Would probably fail.

I have seen enough movies to know how this ends. Soon we will enter the eyeball harvesting to fuel the botfarm stage.

I’ve tried to do this, it’s wildly inaccurate and will just block you anyways. Even if you take the same exact picture/scan.. it ‘doesn’t recognize’ It’s a flagrant biometric accumulation gathering. Has nothing to do w verification.

I’m so glad I’m married with kids at this point. Modern dating sounds like a kafkaesque nightmare.

> World, the identity verification project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Hey isn't that funny

Nice, they are taking action against AI by making it easier for actual users to finally choose to ditch the platform.

Sad. Then you have only matches left that don't reply. Say what you will against scammers and bots - at least they reply. XD 

How about you just delete the suspected profiles instead?

Of course, you know for sure that they won't be selling these pictures and that this wasn't the original goal. Definitely...

Tinder literally employs bot accounts, this is an excuse to collect and sell biometric user data. I sincerely hope people are smart enough to realize how dangerous this is to consent to.

Too many pretenders in dating app

Theres no proof of humanity in these dead empty eyes.

pretty glad im not dating.

Not to steal data, of course /s

can't wait until the first person with military clearance uploads most of their biometrics to the app

Tinder is surveillance tech. Simple as that. This is just an excuse to get users to give up their biometric data. Go meet someone organically.

It’s common sense but don’t scan anything and upload. Don’t upload n****. Just stop trusting these companies who will sell your data, then turn around and blame you for it. They’re honestly needs to be an online privacy literacy course for every child.

> by making users scan eyes for “proof of humanity" Finally theyve figured a way to keep my ex off

Rejected: Users eyes are dead inside

Same technique I use in public. Can confirm eyes are mostly dead

tbf, either way it's shit. either you verify yourself with some "concerning data harvesting" method, or you accept that the ecosystem is filled with bots. even though many of these companies aren't to be trusted with your data, people still complain about bots (here on Listnook as well), but if someone suggest any sort of ID verification people scream "but my privacy!!". you can't have your cake and eat it too. one has to give, either people accept verification systems, or they accept the bots.

Like you can't fake that too.

Back in 2024 when I was single I remember Tinder being full of bots. Can't imagine how bad it is now.

I wonder if I could scan my dog's eyes for this 🤔

I scan my eyes nervously. This is my fifteenth attempt. "No proof of humanity found" flashes in red across the screen. I begin to cry.

I wonder when we'll finally reach the point that people will stop all this 'give them all your money and data' shit to the point that we talk to each other and find relationships in person again.

Eyes and mouths (especially while speaking naturally) are where AI still struggles. There's also a lot of lighting problems and resolution mixing between elements in images but those are harder to detect with an algorithm accurately.

who still uses tinder lmao

That'll be a huge target for hackers and criminal organizations. Eye scans. Jummy.

What if we just all pretended this was 2009 and go back to WoW instead of social media...

This right here is why I have not used any dating apps, despite my post divorce loneliness.

Scan for proof of humanity? On a dating app? 😂 Ok, good luck with that..

Why do so many people just willingly do this stuff? I'm not even into criminal activities and know its not wise to give random companies your eyes scans, fingerprints, ID, face scan etc. 

That they will no doubt use AI to filter and learn from.

We should require "proof of humanity" for so-called world- and tech-leaders instead.

Dump them ..it’s a crappy site

Dark Souls ass request. There better be a magic wall opening after that.

LMFAO. This is like giving blood to drive a [Ford Pinto](https://www.autosafety.org/ford-pinto-fuel-tank/)

There’s no way I’d ever send a high res shot of my irises to a f****** dating app, what a nightmare lmao.

Add to the reasons to not use Tinder

Iris patterns are one of the last secure biometric methods. But now I suppose even that can be duped.

Tinder is trash and a lost cause. They should just give up.

Have you ever seen profiles with one of the images being some AI generated artwork with modified face? Scammers use that one for face verification (using their real face), rest of the images are stolen and not related to the scammer. Tinder is so terrible with their security, and now they want scans of eyes? They should fix the basics and what they already have implemented instead of trying to gather more data about users.

yeah dont give a dating app your retina scan.

And then I will pay them 200 billion dollars for all of your eyes and feed it into my AI model, thus destroying this security concept 4 eva. Same old song and dance

Tinder is the biggest pile of shit there is. Used to be a customer until they banned my account out of nowhere. No option to appeal and talk to a person, no real reason given, just a vague message about breaking rules. Tinder can go put itself where the sun doesn't shine

I really hope people make an effort to meet people in person like in the old days. Scanning your face in to this shut us not worth it.

It's talking about World ID. You scan your iris with infrared light at an orb. It's one of the only private identification systems there are. People freak out, yet, people don't mind scanning their faces every day (taking selfies) to help Google track them and train their AI systems.

Probably got a couple of eyes in the freezer I could use.

Thank god I'm done with dating apps It genuinely feels like some of the larger companies work together to make bots as hard to recognize as possible. In the past you could just reverse image search pictures of people that looked fishy. Nowadays google will tell you that it can't do that. Good chance you couldn't reverse image search the mona lisa anymore due to privacy concerns.

Persistent attestation is NOT solved, and any company or service claiming they can ID the end user is straight up lying and scamming you for biometrics and pii. The big tech companies all know this, and everyone in the space knows who ever solves it will instantly ++ about a trillion dollars in valuation

people still use Tinder? 

Most humans don't have enough humanity for this.

How to train AI to create fake iris images (annotated)

Datingapps already had that test where you have to upload a photo holding a Text or something to verify your not a fake profile.

AI, fakes eyes... Easy

Mr. Beast would be denied.

Who's looking at eyes on Tinder 🤔

So it will be completely empty for free users? I tried it once for a couple of months, then tried again years later and there still were the same profiles with the same photos.

How about doing it for every pic an not just for an identity pic masked into a profile?

Err wasn't World some scammy-seeming Blockchain shady tech company giving you 50 bucks if you joined up and scanned your iris? What happened when I blinked?

We should do that with our elected officials

Oddly enough this scan did not work on Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg

They should use the same system for the presidency

People still use tinder? Lol

How many false negatives will they find for people lacking light in their eyes on tinder

80% dudes

The eyes is where the innocence is

Don't fall for this. Match Group (Tinder's/Hinge's owner) are a genuinely evil company and will sell your biometrics away.

So… give a dating app a retinal scan…? Hahahaha NO.

And yet you let me take the first few rides every day before you verify that I am the person I say I am... 

What if you don’t have eyes?

So first it was the finger ID, then it was Face ID, and now they want Iris ID. Eventually all that data is going to be in the hands of the highest bidder

Because O******* with real humans is proof of humanity?

Dexerto on World News. Lads, this might be the biggest sign possible that listnook is done.

thisthe kind of thing that which happens when you entrust the machine to pave your path to an everlasting relationship or friendship

The unintended upside being no more MAGA Republicans will be able to access the app 👀

Voight-Kampff test for the horny

this isn’t fair, horny dudes will do anything and aren’t thinking straight in that state.

Better give me some dang worldcoin for scanning my eyeballs there Altman. The grift that keeps on grifting

I am so happy I'm not on the apps anymore

Too little too late. The app is fundamentally broken

The Internet v2 is going to be a filtered instance of apps and services only available to those who can prove to be humans. Many different ways of authorization will exist, from government IDs, personal hardware IDs, facial or retinal scans, fingerprints, location based etc. Essentially Internet v2 is going to be such that every non automated entity on it needs to be a human. Certain bots and macros might be allowed for specific tasks but only through legal entities that will be responsible for its operation. Now that does not mean that such Internet wont have privacy and that governments will be able to spy upon citizens. The current internet as we know it will be 99.9% AI bots trying to mimic human interaction and scam people. Humans will eventually move from v1 into v2. The bots in v1 will exist in some sort of perpetual limbo scamming themselves and scraping the data that they think is real but is generated data from other bots. At some point servers running those bots will realize v1 is no longer profitable and will switch bots off. v2 Internet will have heavy penalties for humans who attempt to introduce AI into it. Penalties such as permanent banishment from v2. Humans will at some point use cybernetic implants that will merge AI functions with them. This is how Internet v3 gets made, to separate true humans against humans contaminated with AI neural interfaces. v4 Internet is something beyond my current imagination. I might take shrooms next week and will report if I figure out what v4 is going to be.

LOL, this is going to be entertaining. I can tell. 

Wouldn't it be obvious when they don't show up for your date?

I got on Tinder about 2 months ago. After a week, I had 100+ likes, and every day I would swipe over and over. How many matches did I have after 2 months? Zero, none, nada, zilch. I deleted it last week.

Do we have any Humanity left

they're the ones that use fake AI profiles on its users to get $$$ anyways...
