Brazilian loses fortune for AI-made lover
A Brazilian man named Edimar Martinez, aged 49, used social media platforms to interact with an account that features a virtual character created by artificial intelligence named "Jessica Oliveira," believing she was a real woman he wanted to marry. After years of following her, Martinez decided to sell all his possessions to leave and meet his virtual love in Belo Horizonte. However, he soon discovered that the character was fictional and did not exist in reality. It turned out that the account he followed was simply an AI-generated persona, and the person managing the account was using it to boost engagement and sell products, not to communicate directly with Martinez. Disappointed, Martinez shared his story on social media, turning it into a cautionary tale about how emotions can be exploited through fake accounts and AI technology—especially since some virtual characters are used to attract followers and achieve commercial gains at the expense of genuine trust and feelings.
