AI vs. Catfish: Which Is Worse?

We already know what catfishing looks like: fake pictures, fake identities, fake lifestyles, and people pretending to be someone they’re not.

But now AI has changed the game.

AI-generated photos. Altered faces and bodies. Fake voices. Deepfakes. Entire personalities and conversations that can look and sound completely real.

So tonight on Authentic Thoughts Podcast, Carnell & Nate are asking:

Which is worse — traditional catfishing or using AI to create a version of yourself that doesn’t actually exist?

Is there a difference between using filters, editing your pictures, and completely changing your appearance with AI?

What if the person behind the account is real—but the face, body, lifestyle, or voice you fell for isn’t?

And where exactly does enhancing yourself online cross the line into deception?

We’re talking about:
• AI-generated dating profiles
• Filters and heavily edited pictures
• Fake identities and traditional catfishing
• Deepfakes and cloned voices
• Online dating and social media
• Whether AI is making it harder to know what—or who—is real

And the big question:
If you met someone online and discovered they used AI to completely change how they looked, would you consider that catfishing? 👀

💬 Join Carnell & Nate LIVE and tell us which one you think is worse.
