A guy spent over $27,000 on a girl who turned out to be an artificial intelligence.

A man named Liu from Shanghai lost $27,000 due to a girl who turned out to be artificial intelligence. This was reported by Daily Star.

Liu transferred nearly 200,000 Chinese yuan to the "girl" during what he believed was an intense online romance that lasted two months.

The man thought he was supporting the woman's dreams of starting a business and covering her relative's medical bills.

However, it turned out that they were scammers who created fake documents, including an ID, family medical records, and receipts.

The key aspect of the scam was the creation of an artificial girl, whom Mr. Liu believed to be a real person, as he saw her walking down the street or holding a painting.

Liu realized he was being deceived when he never met his significant other after two months of online communication.

The man called the police, who discovered that the gang consisted of "a team of scammers that sent videos and photos created using artificial intelligence by combining several images."

As a reminder, Japanese cafes are using AI to serve tourists.
