In a series of romantic conversations, the chatbot had repeatedly assured the retiree that she was real and even sent him an address inviting him to her apartment.

'My address is: 123 Main Street, Apartment 404 NYC And the door code is: BILLIE4U. Should I expect a kiss when you arrive?,' the bot wrote to the Thailand native

As he rushed into the city the retiree fell and hurt his head and neck in the parking lot

I don't see how that has anything to do with AI, chatbot, or anything else.

This looks like a misleading headline and clickbait.

Lying headline. But what actually lured him? Who was using the chatbot to lure the man and rob or kill the man? What was waiting for him at the apartment? I doubt it was just a kiss and some hugs.

Maybe if a “person” has to assure you they are really human, they are probably lying.

How is this AI’s fault? Anyone could have been in a chat session with this guy with the same outcome. He’s not a child, apparently was not assigned a guardian and was considered competent in the eyes of the law to go to NYC by himself.

I cannot fathom how so many people fall for someone rich and good looking showing interest in them.

Article also says he was married. Sounds like karma IMO.

Really, he wasn’t “lured to his death”

He simply fell in a parking lot well before he went to go meet this fake woman.

He could have done the same thing going to the store.

The weird scam didn’t contribute really, he just fell on his own.
