You've seen the viral TikToks: people uploading photos of their partners to AI tools that claim they can detect cheaters, liars, and relationship red flags. The comments are flooded with "OMG I need to try this" and "This is so accurate." But can AI actually tell if someone is cheating?
We tested WhosLikely and four other AI tools that claim they can analyze relationships. Here's what we found—and why you should take these results with a grain of salt (and a sense of humor).
The Viral AI Relationship Test Trend
It started on TikTok. Someone uploaded a photo of their boyfriend to an AI tool, asked "Is he cheating?", and the AI gave a detailed analysis. The video went viral. Suddenly, everyone was trying it.
The trend exploded because it taps into two powerful emotions: curiosity and anxiety. People are genuinely curious about what AI can detect, and there's a low-level anxiety about relationships that makes these tests feel relevant.
5 AI Tools That Claim They Can Detect Cheaters
1. WhosLikely (Our Tool)
What it does: Analyzes photos and predicts who's most likely to cheat, lie, ghost, or exhibit other behaviors based on facial analysis.
How it works: Upload photos, select a question like "Who's most likely to cheat?", and AI analyzes facial features, expressions, and micro-expressions to make a prediction.
Our take: We're honest about it—this is for entertainment. The results are often surprisingly accurate (or hilariously wrong), but we don't claim to read minds. It's fun, fast, and shareable, which is why people love it.
2. AI Relationship Analyzer (Generic Tool)
What it does: Claims to analyze relationship compatibility and detect potential issues based on photos.
Our take: Similar concept to WhosLikely, but less fun and more serious. Results are hit-or-miss, and the interface isn't as engaging.
3. Facial Emotion Recognition Tool
What it does: Analyzes facial expressions to detect emotions, then makes predictions about behavior.
Our take: More scientific approach, but less entertaining. Good for understanding emotions, not great for relationship drama.
4. Personality AI Analyzer
What it does: Analyzes personality traits from photos and makes predictions about relationship behavior.
Our take: Interesting concept, but personality is complex and can't be fully determined from a single photo. Results are often generic.
5. Micro-Expression Detector
What it does: Claims to detect micro-expressions that reveal hidden emotions or deception.
Our take: The most "scientific" of the bunch, but still not reliable enough to make serious relationship decisions. Fun for curiosity, though.
Can AI Actually Tell If Someone Is Cheating?
The short answer: probably not. Here's why:
- Cheating is a behavioral choice, not something that can be determined from facial features
- AI can detect patterns and make educated guesses, but it can't read minds
- Facial expressions can be misleading—someone might look "guilty" when they're just tired
- These tools are designed for entertainment, not scientific accuracy
That said, many users report that the results are surprisingly accurate. Whether that's because AI is actually good at reading faces, or because we're all just seeing what we want to see, is up for debate.
Why People Love These Tests (Even If They're Not Accurate)
Even if AI can't actually detect cheaters, these tests are still popular for several reasons:
- Entertainment: They're fun and shareable, perfect for TikTok and Instagram Stories
- Curiosity: People are fascinated by what AI can "see" in a face
- Conversation starter: They get people talking about relationships and AI
- Low stakes: It's just for fun, so there's no real pressure
Our Recommendation: Try It, But Don't Take It Seriously
If you're curious about what AI thinks, go ahead and try WhosLikely or any of these tools. They're fun, fast, and can be surprisingly entertaining.
Just remember: don't make important relationship decisions based on AI predictions. These tools are for entertainment, not relationship counseling.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
These AI tools are for entertainment purposes only. They cannot accurately predict cheating, lying, or other relationship behaviors. If you're concerned about your relationship, talk to a real person—not an AI.
