Christian Connection is built on genuine relationships between real people. AI can support communication, but it must never replace honesty and authenticity.
As AI tools become more common, we want to be clear about how they can be used responsibly, when AI use isn't allowed, and how to spot AI use and stay safe.
Where AI is not allowed
To provide false information or misrepresent your identity, background or intentions.
To enhance or change your photos to the extent that they don’t look like you. If we are unsure whether your photo reflects your real appearance, we may ask you to verify your identity with a selfie or ID.
To create or operate 'fake' profiles for people who don't exist.
Christian Connection does not permit fake photos, profiles or bots. We use a range of moderation tools and account verification processes to identify suspicious behaviour and remove non-genuine profiles, helping to ensure you’re meeting real people on Christian Connection.
Any use of AI that misleads other members breaches our Terms and may result in account removal.
Where AI is allowed
For spelling and grammar checks, and to help you phrase things in your profile and messages.
• To help you organise your thoughts or draft ideas.
• For inspiration for date ideas or conversation starters.
All information you post must be true and reflect who you are.
Authenticity is best
While AI can help with wording, meaningful connection comes from being yourself. A profile that sounds natural and reflects how you speak in real life is far more likely to lead to a comfortable first date.
While you might want to use AI to check spelling or grammar, try to make sure that your messages and profile reflect how you speak in person. The right person is unlikely to mind a few spelling errors!
How to spot AI use online
AI profiles and messages often come across as just a little bit too polished.
Signs that a profile or message may rely heavily on AI include:
Replies that feel overly formal or unusually polished
Very long answers that avoid personal detail
Responses that repeat your words back without adding anything new
Vague praise that feels generic rather than specific
None of these signs proves someone is using AI, and using AI does not automatically mean a profile is fake. Focus on whether the person engages naturally and consistently over time.
If you’re unsure, arranging a short video call before meeting someone can help you work out if you'll communicate well in person.
What to do if you think someone isn’t genuine
Scammers may also use AI in their profiles and messages, which can help them to sound more believable.
Remember, scammers will often:
Request to move conversations quickly off the platform
Have discrepancies or inconsistent life details
Use pressure, urgency or emotional manipulation
Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency or personal financial details to someone you haven't met in person.
If you have any concerns that the person you’re speaking to may not be genuine, please report the profile using the in-app reporting tools or contact our support team directly. Our team will then be happy to look into this for you.
Remember, always report anyone who asks you for money, for any reason. Check our safety tips for more advice.
We use both technology and trained support staff to detect suspicious behaviour and protect our members. If something does not feel right, trust your instincts and let us know. We are here to help.
