"AI Girlfriend Premium vs Free": a UCO link that looks like SEO spam, not AI news

By Universidad de Córdoba (UCO) · October 14, 2026.

There are no facts to report. All the material we received contains is a headline («AI Girlfriend Premium Vs Free Get AI Companion 2026») and a URL for the virtual tours page of the UCO's Central Research Support Service (SCAI). No article content was downloaded, and the description repeats the headline.

The only thing we can verify is the structure of the link. It carries long parameters, including a base64-encoded block that, when decoded, appears to be an instruction to load an XML file from an external GitHub Pages repository. It also includes an identifier with the same text as the headline. This is a typical search engine optimization (SEO) spam pattern. We make no claim about who generated it or with what intent. There is no indication that the UCO published this content.

Our reading is brief. "Virtual girlfriends" are a real AI companionship market, with free and paid subscription models. But this link provides no data about that market and should not be treated as a source. It does illustrate something useful: the more lucrative an AI niche becomes, the more pages belonging to legitimate institutions are exploited to drive traffic. The rule remains the same as ever: be wary of any link whose content does not match the domain hosting it, and do not open it unless necessary.

When there is a real source on AI companionship, with user figures, pricing and social effects, we will give it the analysis it deserves.
