Several people referred to her as "toxic" and "sad" for appearing to spend a lot of time exacting revenge on past romantic partners.
A woman from New York, United States, recently shared that she creates fake new boyfriends using artificial technology and Photoshop to make her ex-boyfriends jealous, as per a report in the New York Post. In a video shared on TikTok and Instagram, the woman depicts how she manipulates a picture of her sitting alone on the subway so that it appears that she is with a new boyfriend.
"My ex moved on so, I had to soft launch a new BF fast," Madeline Salazar, 29, wrote in the overlay text in the video. According to her, she gives the command to the Adobe software by simply stating "man resting head on shoulder" and within minutes, an AI image of a man appears sitting next to her. She looks at multiple options and then selects her preferred "Mr Right". The video also shows how she uses AI pictures in different situations like helping her on the terrace or a picture of a man resting his hand on her leg as they work from a coffee shop.
"I started a TikTok series using generative AI to create ridiculous and comical scenarios. I'd categorized my videos into three distinct buckets: pranks, absurdity and what I call toxic dating narratives," Ms Salazar told Newsweek.
