A “university” link about virtual girlfriends that isn't a review: beware of spam slipping into legitimate websites

By Tema EN · virtual girlfriends/partners · October 13, 2026.

The material we received is not a news story. The headline asks whether an «AI girlfriend» app is legitimate and refers to a long-term YouTube review, but the description only repeats that text alongside the name of the University of Córdoba. There are no figures, no specific product, no author and no facts we can check.

The only relevant item is the URL itself. It points to a virtual tour page for the UCO's SCAI service. It includes an «xml» parameter containing base64-encoded data that, once decoded, appears to load an XML file hosted on a GitHub Pages domain unrelated to the university. We have not been able to verify the downloaded content, so we make no claims about its purpose.

Our reading is cautious. This pattern is common in search engine optimization (SEO) spam: the authority of a legitimate domain, such as a university's, is exploited to make a search result look trustworthy. Based on what we have, the UCO is most likely an unwitting intermediary rather than the author of the content. This is a hypothesis, not a proven fact.

The lesson goes further: the market for AI virtual companions draws traffic and money, and that is why it also draws fake reviews, trap links and websites of dubious origin. Before trusting a «long-term review» of an app of this kind, it is worth checking who wrote it and where it is hosted. As for the underlying topic, neither this source nor this material allows for a rigorous opinion.
