Tinder pauses AI Photo Enhance tool after complaints

Tinder has paused an AI-powered Photo Enhance tool that some users said altered their appearance, NewsNation reported. Former user Jenny Rubin told NewsNation that the tool edited her photo without her opting in. "It was extremely violating," she told NewsNation's Jesse Weber. "It felt pretty uncanny, to be honest. Those are not my teeth. That’s not what my mouth looks like." Tinder had apparently changed the photo of her from a toothless smile to one with teeth.

Rubin deleted the app and made a TikTok about it, and others told her the app did the same thing. Tinder users also told NBC News that the app changed facial features and even skin tone, and also added features that weren't previously there.
