A University of Córdoba link used as bait to promote erotic chatbots: a sign of AI-driven spam

By Tema EN · sex and relationships · October 14, 2026.

There is no news story behind this item. The feed only provides a promotional headline ("NSFW AI chatbots… customizable roleplay and privacy controls") attributed to the University of Córdoba (UCO). The description repeats the same text. No article content could be downloaded, so there are no underlying facts to report.

The only thing that can be verified is the form of the URL. It is a page of the UCO's Central Research Support Service (SCAI), a virtual tour, to which an `xml` parameter with base64-encoded data has been appended. That pattern is not typical of an editorial page. It looks like the link has been manipulated so that a domain with a good reputation appears associated with commercial adult content. This is our inference from the URL, not a confirmed conclusion, and we do not attribute intent to anyone in particular.

Our take: the episode illustrates a short-term problem that is growing with generative AI, namely SEO spam. Producing thousands of pages and headlines for AI "companion" products or sexual content costs almost nothing. Exploiting the authority of university or institutional domains is a known tactic for slipping into search engines and aggregators.

That is why filtering matters. A headline that looks like news is not the same as a reliable source, and the domain does not prove that the content belongs to it either. This piece is deliberately brief: without verifiable facts, any further analysis would be filler.
