A man, Mr X, had a sad experience looking for love. He sold everything he owned to get money to see a woman. He met her online. He travelled 2,000 kilometres by bus to see her. Her name was Jessica. Her online profile read: "I want you to come to my farm and never work again in your life." Mr X went to meet her, but he could not find her. He showed people photos of her, but nobody knew her. He found out that she was not real. She was made by AI.
Mr X's story shows that online love is risky. People try to find a partner online, but they can be tricked. This is because AI can make people look real. Jessica looked like a real woman. The person who made her wanted her to help sell things on their website. Mr X hopes people do not make the mistake he made. He said: "Sometimes, loneliness at home causes many problems in a person's life."
