A link "about AI virtual girlfriends" points to a manipulated university website, not a real analysis

By Universidad de Córdoba (UCO) · October 15, 2026.

The feed carries the title "how to spot fake ai girlfriend apps is ai companion app worth it long term", attributed to the University of Córdoba. The description repeats the same text, and no article content was downloaded. There are no facts, figures or technical details to report.

What is visible is the URL. It points to a virtual tour page of the UCO's SCAI service. At the end it carries a very long parameter with a base64-encoded block presented as a video. That block appears to decode to an XML tag for a panoramic viewer that includes a file hosted on a GitHub Pages domain unrelated to the university. We have not opened the link and cannot confirm its effect. Nor is there any indication that the UCO published that content: most likely someone has exploited a viewer with unvalidated parameters.

Our reading: this is a known spam technique. It exploits the reputation of a university .es domain to rank pages on high-traffic topics such as "AI virtual girlfriends". The topic is real and deserves serious analysis, covering companion apps, opaque subscriptions, intimate data and emotional bonds with chatbots. A link like this only serves as a reminder not to trust either the domain or the headline.

In general, when you come across a guide to fake apps, it is worth checking that the link leads to a real article and not to a page with odd parameters. When there is a source with verifiable content on AI companions, we will return to the substance of the matter: what they offer, what risks they carry and how they are regulated.
