The No.1 mock strategist in the blind dating circle: Doubao

The times have changed.

If someone tells you that your social skills are on par with Doubao these days, they are not insulting you, but complimenting you:

You are really adept at handling emotional intelligence scenarios.

Although it is widely claimed online that AI cannot replace humans for the time being, in reality, when people are in romantic relationships, they all wish they could summon a "large language model" to take over their interactions immediately. In the past, when people faced distress in intimate relationships, they would turn to horoscopes or tarot cards, or even kneel for long hours in front of the Yuelao temple.

Now you only need to throw the chat history to AI.

Within 5 seconds, AI can come up with at least 3 logically rigorous and overall situation-oriented solutions targeting your emotional crisis.

AI is a great tool. It is calm, efficient, and emotionally stable. With proper use, it can not only revive a dying relationship, but also prioritize safeguarding your maximum interests;

Of course, it is even better at hiding a person's core motives.

Some time ago, internet celebrity Han Anran experienced an AI-assisted "pig butchering scam" style romantic fraud.

Contemporary pig butchering scams have already adopted AI?

The internet celebrity circle always provides the public with steady streams of dramatic gossip, but no one expected that:

AI would also be one of the protagonists this time.

At the end of June, Han Anran announced her breakup with her internet celebrity boyfriend "Siyitai" after three months of dating.

The word "breakup" is nothing new in Han Anran's traffic-focused life, but no one expected that this ordinary breakup spat would lead to a deeply chilling "AI pig butchering scam plan".

The incident is not complicated. After the breakup, Han Anran went to her ex-boyfriend's place to reconcile accounts and resolve their financial disputes. Unexpectedly, the situation escalated on the spot and turned into a group brawl.

Han Anran's father and personal assistant were both injured by the man and his family.

Later, Han Anran's assistant chose to publicly confront "Siyitai" across all platforms, exposing his bad behaviors including domestic violence, animal abuse, and money fraud, while dropping a bombshell:

"Siyitai" used AI to customize a "pig butchering scam operation manual" and a money-grabbing plan to "make 1 billion yuan in 10 years".

The creation date of the document was February 21, 2026, the very first day the two met.

In this document, AI showed calculation and calmness comparable to a top military strategist. The "interaction principle" it gave was "emotion first, reason second", teaching the man step by step how to manipulate Han Anran's psychology through means like comfort and empathy in daily life, to build deep trust.

It was even detailed enough to specify "send messages only after she finishes live streaming from Monday to Friday, do not take the initiative to contact her";

"When she is emotional, comfort her first then reason with her, yield first when you have an argument";

"Show more empathy, less refutation, and express preference directly".

Not only that, AI also positioned the man in this relationship as "partner + co-founder" instead of "guardian + savior". The specific contents include: when facing Han Anran's character flaw of "being unable to distinguish priorities and handling things in a mess", only remind her once, never make decisions for her or execute things for her;

Once she messes things up, never rush to fix the problem, just draw a clear line and state "I reminded you of this matter before, I cannot be affected by it";

For her private affairs, family affairs, and emotional burnout, strictly follow the three no-principles: no taking responsibility, no taking the blame, no living her life for her.

The most critical point is to strictly block information from Han Anran and never reveal your real income.

At the same time, AI listed an extremely clear "resource plundering list" for the man, including "traffic, resources, brands, recommendations, and stages".

It also calculated the revenue based on Han Anran's monetization ability, and set the ultimate goal of "making 1 billion yuan in 10 years".

This looks like a sophisticated romantic scam customized specifically for high-traffic internet celebrities, but essentially, it reveals an extremely absurd situation in the AI era: in the past, pig butchering scams required a whole team, but now you only need to input instructions to AI, and leave the rest to the algorithm.

AI does not teach humans how to love, it only turns "how to efficiently manipulate another person" into a standard operating procedure.

And this cold logic of "outsourced love" is actually not far from the lives of ordinary people.

It's just that the version for ordinary people is often more crude and more frequent.

There is hardly any human touch left in contemporary couples' chat boxes

A quick search online will show you that contemporary men and women have long suffered from "AI-replaced chatting".

In the past, we indulged in the ambiguous phase because the back-and-forth tussle in that period was full of tension, a game between two equally matched parties. That's not the case anymore. Communication, empathy, and emotional tussle have all become high emotional costs.

Some people even ask Doubao for advice on how to reply when their blind date sends them a photo of a cat.

Outdated emotional quotes tell us that men are from Mars and women are from Venus; men want answers while women want the process.

Nowadays, AI can not only provide problem-solving ideas, but also list three full-mark answers labeled A, B, and C.

So once their partner is in a bad mood, most people immediately copy the content and send it to AI.

Although they are not trying to hide anything, letting AI bear their lover's emotional fluctuations on their behalf essentially dilutes sincerity with code.

Anyone who has experienced "AI-replaced chatting" knows that AI's replies are full of traces of artificial generation, and any sharp-eyed person can see through it after reading just two sentences.

You say you love shopping in daily life, and your blind date immediately labels you as "human grass-planting machine" and "happy consumption expert".

Awkward, rigid, and empty, you wouldn't even choose this kind of copy for your WeChat Moments posts.

Many people think that by relying on AI's computing power and data sets, they can gain the identity benefit of being a "good partner", but in fact they only show a kind of self-righteousness that extremely disrespects the other person's intelligence.

Who can avoid associating the line "I have adjusted myself to a normal chat frequency, you can stop me anytime" with the voice of Doubao when they read it?

Worse still, heavy AI users may not even bother to check the full text after copying it.

In just 30 words, there are frequent "-''" punctuation marks, and they don't realize at all that something is seriously wrong.

Even if Doubao sends them Article 266 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, this kind of person will copy it all to their partner without hesitation.

As netizens put it, the group of people who copied even the word "omitted" when doing homework when they were young have started to fall in love now.

In romantic relationships, people often long to be loved and to be comforted, but now they don't even have the energy to "put on a little performance" in person.

In addition to sweet nothings during the relationship, contemporary people can even outsource their breakup copy to Doubao.

Netizens don't want their relationships to end in a bland way, so they simply ask AI to "make me sound a little more pitiful".

Facts have proved that when love and hate are both very thin, AI's role is to process emotional intensity.

It is not difficult to verify if the other person is using AI to chat with you, you can just use magic to defeat magic, and directly send the chat history to AI for cross-examination.

After all, AI has no shoulders to take responsibilities, it will confess the truth immediately.

To put it plainly, outsourcing your romantic relationship to AI is by no means a clever trick, it is nothing more than a self-deceiving performance.

After all, the person on the other side of the screen has known you longer than AI, they can spot this cheating behavior at a glance: "Such clear logic, thoughtful consideration, and top empathy can never come from him".

You think you can use AI's amazing computing power to stage a "deep love dimensionality reduction strike", but you never know in the other person's
