DoorDash appears to have verified a widely circulated account of a driver who allegedly used an AI-generated image to falsely claim a delivery was completed. According to the customer, the driver accepted the delivery request, promptly marked it as delivered, and then provided a fabricated photo showing a DoorDash order placed at their front door.

After the post began gaining traction online, the customer provided additional context, admitting that such a scenario could be fabricated relatively easily. However, they pointed out that another individual later commented, reporting a similar experience in Austin involving the same driver name.

Regarding the method used by the driver, the customer suggested the possibility of a compromised account accessed via a jailbroken phone, potentially allowing the driver to retrieve an image of their doorstep from a DoorDash feature that stores photos from previous deliveries. In response, a DoorDash spokesperson stated that the company has a strict no-tolerance policy toward fraudulent activity, employing both automated systems and manual oversight to identify and stop those attempting to misuse the platform.
