"Manufacturing consent" is not related to sexual consent at all. The word manufacturing means "mass production". The term "manufacturing consent" refers to the process of media institutions using propaganda to make the public accept the actions of a government. It means mass producing approval or acceptance from the public.
As to whether using ChatGPT on dating apps constitutes as sexual assault, I think you should ask a lawyer. A lawyer is more qualified to answer this question than strangers on the internet.
Lawyers and the law aren't the arbiters of consent, you are. If you want justice it's another matter
Like I was tricked into dating a complete shithead once and it didn't feel consensual because he lied about everything including his politics (he was Nazi adjacent and a chaser). In my head this wasn't as bad as violence but being manipulated into having sex feels disgusting and a violation
In a tangential vein, plenty of people argue trans women are SAing men by not disclosing trans status, but this is ultimately born of transphobia. You are ultimately hooking up with a woman who says and believes they're a woman, the men just don't see trans women as women and expect the trans woman to say they're a man. There is no lying here. I always suggest to trans women to disclose via text or call so you don't have to deal with a shithead.
