Romance scams now drain over $1.3B every year. And with AI, the playbook just got accelerate The uncomfortable truth is that we don’t have an identity problem anymore instead we have a trust problem. If you can’t trust your dating app, what can you trust? I just watched what @Humanityprot demonstrated using Tinder, and honestly it’s chilling. Using just basic generative AI, they: • Created convincing fake personas • Passed standard photo and document checks • Catfished 296 real people • And 40 people actually showed up for dates in Lisbon Let that sink in. This wasn’t a prank. — Traditional KYC was designed for a world where faces were real, documents were scarce, and effort was a deterrent. AI shattered all three assumptions. If a model can manufacture intimacy, consistency, and social proof and then glide through checks meant to protect users then we just might be in trouble. More selfies won’t fix this. Better document scans won’t fix this. Another “identity app” definitely won’t fix this. What’s missing is Proof-of-Trust: • Are you a real, continuous human? • Can your presence be verified over time, not just at signup? • Can trust be earned, not faked once? That’s the shift Humanity is pointing at. Because when AI can fake love, the real scarce asset isn’t identity anymore, It’s trust. And we’re way behind on protecting it.
