People are absolutely horrified by Netflix’s new dating show with a very disturbing twist-Emily Bashforth-Entertainment – Metro

There’s a new dating show in town – but not everything is as it seems.

Forget Love Island, Love Is Blind, and Married At First Sight, Deep Fake Love is about to make all other dating shows look extremely normal and tame.

Having launched on Netflix this month, the Spanish programme tests a new format, using deepfake technology to challenge contestants’ trust and ‘blur the line between reality and fiction.’

For those of you not familiar with deep fake technology, it is an artificial intelligence (AI) technique that modifies images. It’s recently been used to give TV characters makeovers and bring singers back from the dead to perform modern hits.

So, the five couples partaking in this series will have a lot of questions about what is real… and what is not.

This new reality show will well and truly put the couples’ relationships and trust levels to the test, as they’re split into Venus and Mars – two separate villas where they’ll stay with a group of singletons.

Producers will then use the innovative tech to distort reality and show their partners footage and images of their other halves interacting with the single people, planting all kinds of seeds and, most likely, causing chaos.

Partners will be watching on from the White Room and have to figure out what is real and what is fake while sitting in the Chair of Truth. 

But, if their relationships can survive, then the contestants who correctly identify the most real or fake scenes will scoop a €100,000 (£86,488) prize.

It’s as wild as it all sounds.

Reacting to the mad twist, Twitter users certainly had a lot to say.

‘These spanish dating shoes are wild… wym my boyfriend kissed a girl but it was AI???’, one person wrote.

Another commented: ‘What’s scary about #deepfakelove on @Netflix is that this just shows you the power of #AI to misinform, disinform and manipulate the truth.’

‘Surely this isn’t good for the participants’ mental health?!’, said another.

Others branded the creators of the show ‘twisted’, while one even went as far as saying the show causes ’emotional trauma’.

‘How can this be entertainment?I can’t even finish it. For the love of God, this show causes emotional trauma and anxiety to the couples. I thought the other dating/reality shows are toxic enough, this one’s the worst’, they tweeted.

So, would you give Deep Fake Love a go?

Deep Fake Love is available to stream on Netflix.
