The article doesn't make mention of it, but I hope the boyfriend faced criminal charges for that.
she said her boyfriend created an AI-generated text that called him names and made disparaging comments.
Do you really need AI for that
He made photos and videos as well

How was this not handled within 24 hours by checking the fucking phone records??
Not rich enough

You want authorities to investigate? Phaw!
