For years, people joked that artificial intelligence would either save humanity or destroy it. Apparently, another option is that it gets used to scam DoorDash over missing ranch dressing. A woman in Wisconsin is going viral for all the wrong reasons after posting a video that seemingly showed her using AI tools to fake a food complaint so she could score a refund from DoorDash.
According to the now-circulating clip, the woman allegedly took a photo of fully cooked chicken and altered the image to make the meat appear raw before sending it to DoorDash as part of a refund request. The whole thing looked less like a customer service issue and more like a modern-day digital hustle that backfired the second she uploaded proof herself.
The Wisconsin situation escalated even more when she explained why she allegedly decided to fake the evidence in the first place. In the caption, she blamed the restaurant and delivery experience, writing, “Shout out to ChatGPT Cuz who [expletive] was they feeling like forgetting my carrots and ranch that I paid EXTRA for and had the nerve to send some cold [expletive] chicken yea ok!”
Wisconsin Woman Becomes Hated By The Internet After AI DoorDash Scam
So basically, missing dipping sauce allegedly turned into a full AI-assisted refund operation. At the end of the video, she reportedly included a screenshot showing that DoorDash credited $39.24 back to her account. Another message shown in the clip appeared to come from the platform itself, reading, “oop should’ve blocked us!”
And social media wasted absolutely no time jumping into debate mode. A lot of commenters were less concerned about the missing carrots and more concerned about what this kind of behavior means for restaurants, delivery drivers, and customer service workers who already deal with endless complaints and refund requests every day.
Plenty of people pointed out that businesses often eat the cost when refunds happen, especially if platforms decide the customer is right without fully investigating. Others were simply baffled that someone would allegedly document themselves committing fraud for TikTok views.
“This is so weird,” one person said. “That’s actually embarrassing,” said another. “Don’t buy if you can’t afford it,” a third person weighed in. “This is actually so selfish,” a fourth comment read.
The Internet Isn’t Happy
It also sparked a much bigger conversation about AI and how quickly people are finding questionable ways to use it. We’ve already seen AI used to write essays, make fake celebrity photos, and clone voices. Now, apparently it’s entering its “fake uncooked chicken evidence” era.
And the thing is, stories like this are exactly why so many businesses are becoming increasingly skeptical of customer complaints online. If companies start worrying that every photo could be edited or manipulated, it could make legitimate complaints harder for honest customers to prove in the future.
It seems that this Wisconsin woman has become a bit of a villain online. Hopefully, the masses don’t start to copy her DoorDash scam.
