You’re not beautiful, bro. A cold-hearted romance scammer used AI to trick a “lonely” retiree into believing she was dating “You’re Beautiful” singer James Blunt — so he could swindle more than $10,000 from her. The con man made phony AI-generated photos and videos of the handsome British pop star speaking to the 57-year-old Brazilian victim to dupe her out of more than a year, the UK Sun reported.
