I know this is going to be obvious to (I hope) 99% of you, but just in case it isn’t – no, these posts from "Finnish women" are not real.

    Not only do human beings not write like this, but both images are quite clearly AI generated. The lady cooking potatoes outside in the mountains is especially hilarious, though.

    I’m not a member of any of these "find work" groups, but for some reason Facebook floods my feed with them and they seem to just be hotbeds for both romance scams and job scams. It’s strange that the algorithm is promoting romance scams.
    I know a lot of folks in this sub come here desperate, but please don’t let your despair cloud your judgement.

    1. What do you mean AI generated? Thick winter coat and no pants in sub zero temp is traditional womens clothing in finland you know

    2. You know these are fake because Finns don’t show that much emotion. 😀 There’s more women than men in Helsinki, so if you’re looking, statistics are on your side.

    3. What do you mean?
      Then who did I transfer my life savings to? Aino said she is no AI and she needed the money to buy more potatoes and leggings.

    4. This is weird. Are they targeting people outside Finland (this might not be obvious to you as the recipient), but the first image, even without the dodgy writing or hyperlink, looks nothing like Finland geographically.

      I assume they must be targeting anyone willing to just glance at a face and think, “wow, I am never going to be lonely again”

      I don’t understand why people even use Facebook still. It only runs on AI ads and preys on older people who will and are getting scammed out of their money.

      Just leave the platform.

      The people who don’t get this is AI are not here in Reddit

      I kinda feel like if someone is so stupid to fall for one of these they deserve the consequences. They are usually predatory type of men, too. So yeah idc.

    8. Tbh it’s everywhere. If you go to porn side, you should find the woman that’s tailored to your region ….

      Kinda loving it that AI thinks that adding potatoes boiling at bg makes the image *surely* very finnish.

    10. One could draw these images with crayons and still some people would be dumb or desperate enough to fall for them.
