A French woman was scammed out of €830,000 (approximately $855,000) by a con artist impersonating Brad Pitt using artificial intelligence (AI).
Anne, a 53-year-old interior decorator, quickly became the laughingstock of the francophone internet when French TV channel TF1 aired a documentary exposing her demise on January 12.
According to the documentary, a scammer used AI-generated media to gain Anne’s trust, ultimately convincing her to divorce her husband and deplete her savings to support the alleged “Brad Pitt.”
