A man had a sad experience looking for love. He sold everything he owned to meet a woman he met online. He travelled 2,000 kilometres to see her. When the man went to meet her, 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.
The man's story shows that online love is risky. People can be tricked. AI can make people look real. The online woman looked like a real person. Mr X hopes people do not make the mistake he made. He said that loneliness can cause people to have "many problems" in their life.
