There's a woman in France who divorced her husband because she thought she was dating Brad Pitt. Basically, she was chatting with this guy online, who sent her a ton of AI-generated pictures that look nothing like the real deal. But because she was so starstruck, she believed she was dating the Hollywood heartthrob. After months of this "relationship," the fake Brad Pitt claimed he had cancer and needed help with hospital bills. So, naturally, she handed over her life savings to this catfishing con artist. He even promised to marry her, which was the perfect excuse for her to ditch her husband. Now, she’s left with nothing but a broken heart and a fantasy, all because she thought she was in a romance with a movie star instead of a complete fraud. What a moron!

That lady said she wasn't used to social media. I didn't hear about her divorcing her husband for 'Brad' but if that's so it must be devastating. I heard there was a lot of trolling surrounding this.

Artificial intelligence has increased the risk of identity theft and fraud online, which contributed to over $8.8 million in losses in the U.S., according to the Federal Trade Commission.

A global study conducted by the computer security company McAfee found that 1 in 4 people worldwide have either experienced an AI-voice cloning scam or know someone who has.

She is not even ugly so getting a boyfriend will be easy for her

Now she's going to be afraid of everyone even those who are just themselves, not posing as anyone else. Sad situation indeed.

Lol these are the ai photos that manipulated her:

You and the manipulator are going to jail lol. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last images look nowhere near Brad but carry on.

That's terrible!
Well, these scammers are so widespread and so many of people are getting scammed on regular basis by these Deepfake videos. Here, the lady was a soft target being Star struck and a big time idiot who was running behind an illusion. Feel sorry for her, but this is something she invited for herself for all those wild desires.

That level of stupidity is unreal. I mean, why would Brad Pitt beg for money for medical bills?! That should have been one of the glaring red flags I can't believe women still fall for this nonsense!

[arunima]

When people stop using their natural intelligence, they are sure to fall traps to the misuse of Artificial intelligence. It's the height of stupidity that a celebrity would beg for money for his health care, especially a celebrity of the status of Brad Pitt. That woman shows a height of stupidity.

Anne, the woman, was scammed out of €830,000 (around $850,000) by someone who used AI-generated images and messages to convince her she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt. The scammer even posed as Pitt's mother initially, and over time, Anne became convinced she was dating the Hollywood actor.
Anne ended up divorcing her millionaire husband and sending a significant portion of her divorce settlement to the scammer, believing the funds were needed for Pitt's medical treatment

I read in another outlet that the lady has mental health issues. It didn't quite state whether this was the case before the incident but the article mentioned that she was suffering from severe depression as a result of the AI Brad Pitt.

Women should stop being entitled.
Every woman should begin considering the value she is bringing into a marriage. They should cease the tendency of expecting husbands to provide everything, including a lot of money, while they offer virtually no monetary value.

Classic grooming case played on health problems role. Unfortunately another online victim and predator. I guess woman was unhappy in marriage and she was perfect target.

We had cases of honey traps earlier where people involved in security and secret agencies were trapped by opposite sex from their enemy countries. Some even leaked few secrets during their weak moments. Seems like gullible nature of human beings when it comes to emotions is fully used by these scammers.
