Episode Details

A new gay dating app called Goose is blowing up—thanks to a slick, shady tactic: fake AI-generated profiles flooding Instagram’s Close Friends stories with identical invites. These “perfect” new accounts, like “Miles” and “Daniel,” use stolen AI imagery and cookie-cutter copy to lure users, raising alarms about deceptive marketing. While the app itself surged in app stores, the scale of this AI-driven deception is unsettling—and potentially illegal under deceptive advertising laws. Users are getting bombarded by these robotic personas, leaving many feeling uneasy about how they’re being targeted in the shadows of private DMs.
