Woman uses AI to edit 'fake boyfriends' into her pics to make ex-lovers jealous
A single woman has claimed she uses AI to edit “fake new boyfriend ” into her pictures - to ensure she will “win” every break-up and leave any ex-lovers seething in jealousy.
Madeline Salazar caused a social media stir with her claims that she can “mess up people’s lives” using just her skills in picture editing. In a video, the 29-year-old shows Madeline turning an image of her alone on the tube into one where a mystery man rests his head on her shoulder.
The TV producer types “man holding hand leading” into Adobe Photoshop editing software, causing an “AI boyfriend” to pop up in the foreground. She has the choice of many AI-generated men to choose from, allowing her to pick the most convincing looking boyfriend. The final edit sees her add a man’s hand to her knee in a picture of the pair in a coffee shop.

It took around two and a half hours to create the edit, the Manhattan resident says, and now viewers of her video have flooded her with requests for their own edits to get back at their partners. But many others were critical, describing the edits as “sad” and “toxic”.

"I get comments and messages every day asking if I can edit stuff for people to make their boyfriend jealous or because their husband made them angry,” Madeline explained.
"It's always very urgent and they tell me 'emergency, I need your Photoshop help'. I don't want to touch another person's personal life with a 10ft pole. I'm not in the business of making someone's personal life toxic,” Madeline continued. "I don't message these people back because they can learn from my TikToks and make them on their own.

Can anyone tell this man isn't real? (Kennedy News/immadsal)Madeline says the videos were meant to just be “consumed as comedy” but that “not everybody understands my humour” - with some commenters thinking it's “pathetic, crazy, and pushing a toxic narrative”. Only a handful of people get the joke, she says.
But it’s not such easily replicated work, she explains. "The three clips in the video took around two and a half hours. Anything involving humans is very difficult. I have the ability to really mess up some personal lives with all these DMs from people. I could be making bad decisions.
"If people are going to be manipulative they're already doing it anyway. They don't need my help. They'll make their point however they can without me. I'm showing walkthroughs of how I make these edits on my YouTube so if anyone has an ex they want to make jealous then they can watch those.”
Many in the comments even offer Madeline money for her Photoshops services. “But I'm not going to do it for them,” Madelibe says. “I'm not scared of AI but you really can't believe anything you see online."
The video divided opinion heavily in the comments. Some described it as “hilarious” and that they “need these Photoshop skills”. Others were less impressed. One said: "Wow this is scary. Technology is too much,” while a particularly harsh critic concluded: "The amount of loneliness in this video is outstanding."
